The lunar calendar is compiled for growing tomatoes in seedlings in Central Russia. And then I will tell you how I choose dates for the Kuban.

The first table contains the sowing and planting dates for growing tomatoes in a greenhouse or greenhouse. The second table - with the timing of sowing and planting tomatoes for open ground.

The lunar calendar will help us calculate the timing of sowing seeds for seedlings. When to sow tomatoes for seedlings? When to dive seedlings? When to plant in the ground?

Terms of planting tomatoes in open ground in the Krasnodar Territory - 04/05 - 04/15.

WHEN TO PLANT TOMATOES FOR SEEDLING IN 2016?

But the dates for planting tomato seeds for seedlings in all regions are different. The most important thing is the recommended date for planting seedlings in open or closed ground for a particular region. For example, for the Kuban it is April 5-15, for the Moscow region and central Russia - May 25-30 (open ground).

To calculate the date, we again use information about the timing of planting tomatoes in open ground in the Kuban. Experts advise dates from April 5 to April 15. Let's compare these dates with the lunar calendar for 2016.


If you believe long-term forecasts, in the Kuban night frosts up to minus 5 degrees can be the whole of March (especially from March 17 to March 27). This winter, I have noticed that the frost forecast is constantly in a hurry, and they come a few days later or last longer. Therefore, personally, for planting seedlings in open ground, I will focus on mid-April. So, to calculate the date of sowing tomato seeds for seedlings, we choose April 15.

So, from April 55, we count back 60 days and get the date February 15. Today I will sow. Better late than, like many last year, to be with frozen seedlings in the ground at the end of March ...

So look at the forecast for your climate zone, you probably have a few more weeks, and you should not rush, you will sow seedlings later, but it will receive more light, it will not stretch so much, and it certainly will not die from frost.

Yummy tomatoes!

In March, there is still little work in the garden, but in greenhouses and on window sills it is in full swing. One after another, boxes with seedlings of cabbage, tomatoes, peppers appear, and how many flowers you still want to plant ...

When to sow tomatoes for seedlings in 2016 according to the lunar calendar
Tomatoes are amazing vegetables that contain more than twenty useful trace elements, and at the same time very few calories. This is what makes tomatoes so popular, people love to eat them raw, as well as adding them to salads and hot dishes. There are several types of tomatoes brought from different countries in the markets and shops, but many people prefer to grow these vegetables themselves every year. After all, this is the only way to make sure that they are really useful.
Due to the climatic conditions prevailing for the most part in northern latitudes, tomatoes are not sown directly into the ground. First, all summer residents grow seedlings at home. And it is very important to follow all the stages of growing tomatoes correctly, otherwise there is a risk of being left without a crop. Each summer resident has his own secrets, but most people listen to the advice of astrologers. Let's figure out what the experts say: when to sow tomatoes for seedlings in 2016 according to the lunar calendar?

Sowing tomatoes and phases of the moon

Seedlings, like a cart, require that they begin to cook it in the winter. Sowing time depends primarily on the variety. Greenhouse tomatoes are sown in January or February, the rest of the varieties - until the end of March, so that in May it would be possible to transplant the seedlings into the ground on the site.
But it is also very important that at this time the moon was in the right phase. From their own experience, summer residents say that you should not engage in crops during the new moon. The first and last quarter of the Earth's satellite are also considered unsuccessful.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to what sign the Moon is in. If the second sun has settled in the house of such signs as Aquarius, Leo, Pisces or Virgo, then you should not expect a miracle and a rich harvest.
The best period for sowing is considered to be the time when the Moon is in the sign of Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn.

Sowing tomatoes by numbers

Seeds germinate faster if they are sown at a time when the moon is in its growing stage. Greenhouse tomatoes could be planted in containers as early as January and February. As for March, 12 and 13 are considered the most favorable numbers. At this time, the Moon is in the house of Taurus, so the sprouts will be strong and fast-growing. You can also harvest seedlings from March 16 to March 18, when the satellite will be in the sign of Cancer.
Those who do not have time to bury the seeds in the soil in mini-pots at this time will have to wait a little later. Since there will be a full moon on March 23, it is better to refuse sowing. But in a few days, for example, from March 27 to March 29, it will be possible to return to this matter again.
Do not be upset if even at this time it is not possible to deal with seedlings, our ancestors believed that if Easter falls late, then you can take your time with seedlings.
But all summer residents know that it is not enough to know when to sow tomatoes for seedlings in 2016 according to the lunar calendar in order to grow good tomatoes. You also need to learn how to prepare containers for sowing seeds, soil and take care of sprouts.

Preparatory work and sowing

Seeds may not turn into sprouts, and this depends not only on their quality, but also on what container they are planted in.
Any containers, pots or packaging for dairy products must be disinfected. A cheap but effective remedy is whiteness. A ten percent solution of this agent will kill all substances harmful to future plants.
Compost soil is best for seeds. First you need to fill all the compartments in impromptu pots by two-thirds, then put the seeds, and then sprinkle them with earth and level it.

Seeds should germinate at a temperature of seventeen to nineteen degrees, and the air should be humid. To achieve such conditions, you will have to cover all the pots with paper and glass. It will be possible to remove such protection only after the sprouts hatch.

Preparing seedlings for soil and diving
Seedlings need to be given a little time for the first leaves to appear on the stems. When this happens, it will be possible to pick seedlings. And for this, you can also check the lunar calendar. According to experts, it is possible to transplant seedlings into larger containers on the first day of April, as well as on the fourth and fifth. In addition, from the eighth to the thirteenth of April, the moon will be growing, which means that this is also a suitable period for this lesson.
Spreading seedlings is also not so easy. The sprouts are still very weak, so they need to be “fed” with useful substances. It is necessary to transplant seedlings into such containers that there is a space between the sprouts, at least about five centimeters from each other.
Grains of superphosphate will help seedlings develop faster. They must be placed at the bottom of the containers. In order for future tomatoes to survive the stress and get used to the new environment, they will have to be removed to a cool place where there is little light and no higher than ten degrees Celsius. After that, you need to place lamps around the seedling pots to make up for the lack of natural light.

Do not forget that regular watering for seedlings is not enough. Sprouts need nutrients, and for this they need to be fertilized. Moreover, seedlings love mostly only natural fertilizers. You can, for example, use a solution of 100 g of chicken manure and ten liters of water, or a mixture of 500 g of humus and ten liters of water. But if it is not possible to fertilize in this way, you can buy ready-made fertilizers.
Transplanting seedlings into the ground on the site
In the northern part, seedlings are usually transplanted only at the beginning of June, and in the southern part - already in May. And in order to safely pass this stage, summer residents are also advised to use the lunar calendar.
So on the sixth of May there will be a new moon, so on this day it is better not to approach the seedlings. In order to transplant tomatoes into a greenhouse or into the ground, the days from the eighth to the eleventh of May, as well as the 15th and 21st, are suitable. The next suitable period will be at the end of the fifth month, when the night luminary will be in the constellation Pisces. This time is from 24 to 26 May and 29.
In June, seedlings can be transplanted on the second, fifth, as well as on the sixth and seventh. But it should be borne in mind that if you overexpose the plants at home, then there is no guarantee that you will be able to harvest a good harvest. Such seedlings usually do not take root well.

February and March are the months when we are actively starting to deal with tomatoes. We choose the best tomato seeds, stock up on land and pots for seedlings. Let's see what kind of work real gardeners do, and most importantly, how and when to plant tomatoes for seedlings.

February- the right time to purchase soil and prepare boxes for seedlings of pepper, tomato and eggplant. The entire future harvest is laid in the seedling period. By the way, it will be said that plant transplantation is a forced measure that summer residents are forced to resort to for earlier plant development and accelerated fruit ripening.

When to plant tomatoes for seedlings in 2017

• Tall tomatoes, as well as peppers and eggplant, are sown for seedlings at the end of February from the 20th to March 10th.
• Tomatoes that are planned to be transplanted into a greenhouse in April are planted for seedlings in February on planting days. These are February 13, 14.15 and 18, 2017.
• Early and mid-ripening tomato varieties are sown for seedlings in March, on favorable planting days. In 2017, tomato seedlings are planted on March 13 and 16. It is possible to plant tomatoes during the period of the Growing Moon, which in 2017 lasts from March 10 to March 22.
• In April, there are several favorable days when you can plant tomatoes for seedlings, if you have not already done so. In this case, choose seedlings for seedlings of superdeterminate undersized varieties and hybrids for open ground, ultra varieties or cherry tomatoes. The best days for planting a tomato in April are the 8th, 9th and 14th.

🎧 The best time to plant a tomato

Andrey Tumanov, an expert summer resident, says: “The best time to plant a tomato is in a summer cottage.” For 20 years, the author has hosted a number of TV programs dedicated to amateur gardening and horticulture - "Fazenda", "Bed", "Our Garden", "Country Hour", "Field Work".

When to plant seeds of large-fruited tomatoes and tomatoes

Large, strongly growing varieties of tomatoes, such as Russian Size, Pink Giant, Bullish Heart, are usually late-ripening, so they need to be planted in the third decade of February.

How to plant tomatoes for seedlings with seeds

Preparing tomato seeds for planting according to the grandmother's proven method:

• To plant tomatoes for seedlings at home, soak tomato seeds in advance. Wrap the seeds in a cloth or bandage and moisten with warm water. Let the days lie like this.
• Stock up on fertile land, you can buy it, or you can dig it up in the garden in the fall. Pour the earth into a fairly large container - for example, a cake lid.
• Water the prepared soil a little so that it becomes moist. Lightly press the ground with the palm of your hand.
• At a distance of 3 cm from each other, put the seeds on the ground, sprinkle with earth on top quite lightly. And again pat the landings with your palm.
• Now water well. And cover the top of the box with seedlings with glass or just a bag to create the effect of a greenhouse.
• Place the box in a warm, dark place.
• After a couple of days, when tomato sprouts appear, remove the film and put the box in a bright place.

Many gardeners follow the same method and sow tomato seeds exactly 4 by 4 in a box of humus soil. After planting the seeds, cover the container with foil or glass and place in a warm place. With the advent of sprouts, after 3-4 days, the film is removed and the seedlings are placed on a bright windowsill. If the window on which the seedling box stands is not south, then a fluorescent lamp is placed so that the tomato seedlings receive enough light for development.

How to grow tomato seedlings

As soon as you have the first shoots of tomato seedlings, do not forget to feed them. Top dressing should be started as soon as the cotyledon leaves unfold and the plant switches to root nutrition; you should not wait for the appearance of real leaves. Combine top dressing with watering, that is, use a weak fertilizer solution instead of water for irrigation. For this, “Uniflor-buton” is suitable, if you do not find such top dressing, then you can use “Kemira-Lux” or top dressing for flowers. It is enough to dilute 1 teaspoon in 3-5 liters of water.

It should be noted that these solutions are worth an unlimited time. Seedlings should be watered moderately, the soil should be slightly moist. When growing in a greenhouse, use . A common mistake gardeners make is over-watering. This leads to:

• root death due to lack of oxygen
• acidification of the soil,
• the appearance of the black fruit fly, drosdophila, feeding on plant rot.

Transplant seedlings to a larger place after 20 days, so that each plant has a place measuring 12 x 12 cm. This space will last for another 20 days. 45 day old seedlings are planted in the soil under a film or in a polycarbonate greenhouse. When transplanting tomato seedlings, take the plant along with soil cubes so as not to damage the roots.

When growing seedlings in a winter greenhouse, install

At the same time, do not forget that seedlings are already a plant. And you need to treat it like an adult plant, if you give it little light or space, then the tomato seedlings will grow bad. A bad plant will not make a good plant. He will not catch up and will not replenish, he will only pretend, but in fact he will not give half of the harvest.

A good seedling of a tomato is when the plant grows without interference, in an open sunny place, with enough heat, nutrition and moisture. The main rule of seedlings: space and light for each plant! Good seedlings grow more in breadth than in height. After a month, the stem of the tomato seedling should be as thick as a pencil. This is where LED lighting comes in handy.
