Make an organic fertilizer (potassium, phosphorus) to the land (Potassium, phosphorus), switch, but not to break the clock. Make it in the spring when the earth will dry. Then crushes the surface of the soil and make mineral fertilizers.

Take seeds that collected 3-4 years ago, put into a solution of boric acid (20 mg per liter of water). Such soaking seeds stimulates their germination. Then put in small tissue bags and hold the day at room temperature. The next day, rinse thoroughly under running water and dried slightly.

Severate seeds to seedlings from April 10 to 25, when the temperature reaches 14-15 degrees. In the middle of the garden to make holes with a depth of 3-4 cm, if the soil is dense - 5-6 cm. The distance is about 90 cm between the wells. To put 2-3 seeds in each well, then you can send plants or remove weaker. Put arcs, pull the film. If the temperature drops sharply, then provide additional shelter, create greenhouse conditions for better growth. At home, you can sink seeds in the pots in May.

Cover the film to keep moisture and warm. After 5-6 days, the film is removed and start the fallout of grown seedlings. The time of sowing patissons depend largely on the temperature of the soil. Proper preparation of beds, if you cover it with a film, will ensure the rapid heating of the soil and landing time can be shifted by the beginning of May. It will help to warm up the soil and bookmark of manure into the breakthrough grooves, after that fall asleep their land.

It is not very close to the seedlings to each other, the distance between bushes in a row 70 cm, then pour well. It is necessary to protect patissons from the cold.

If it is found that some bushes are disappeared, then delete them or touch others.
