The phase of two true leaves is a signal to start a pick. During the cultivation of seedlings, it is necessary to apply mineral fertilizers several times. 10 - 14 days before transplanting plants into the ground, it is necessary to start hardening the seedlings, taking them out to the balcony. Before planting, you need to make sure that the distance between the proposed bushes is at least 0.5 meters. It is possible to arrange the bushes from each other in the same row at a distance of 0.3 - 0.4 meters.
For a better harvest, experienced summer residents give advice: deformed flowers and leaves should be removed, the growth point must be pinched.
The process of applying dressings must be carefully considered. It is important that no organic fertilizers should be applied at the time of planting.
