1. The majority of cultural plants in domestic gardens lands in the form of already germinated seedling today. Such reception allows to protect young plant from fluctuations of climate and the attacks of wreckers in its first, most difficult weeks of life. It is important to remember that than more small sprouts, especially they are vulnerable during the germination to stage of the strengthened young plant. Besides, seedling which is grown up indoors allows to receive earlier healthy harvest that is of particular importance in northern regions of the country.
2. It is necessary to begin cultivation of seedling with preparation of the soil and acquisition of planting stock. Today the prepared soil as well as seeds, it is possible to buy in any flower shop. However many experienced gardeners prefer to prepare it independently. Usually as the soil for seedling mix of the peat earth with sand approximately in proportion 2 to 1 is used. It is better to take sand river or lake, but if in city conditions it is inaccessible, it is possible to use any which will appear within reach. Only in this case it is necessary to wash out and calcinate previously sand not to bring infection to young plants.

For this purpose it is necessary to cut off top at bottles and to make openings in the bottom for drain of excess water. Extremely it is not recommended to use for seedling cardboard boxes from under dairy products. The fact is that at production their inside face is processed the special chemical compositions which are very harmful to young seedling.
4. It is necessary to plant the bought seeds according to the landing terms specified on bags. In each pot it is possible to plant at the same time several seeds, in this case there will be no empty tanks because of ungerminated saplings. In several weeks the grown-up shoots are transplanted more freely on new boxes and pots.
5. It is useful "to temper" seedling intended for disembarkation to the open ground, that is from the first warm days to expose on balcony, removing for the night to the room. Such mode will allow young saplings to gain certain resistance to temperature drops and will facilitate their adaptation to garden conditions.
