New Year's and Christmas holidays will come already very soon. Also will be appropriate to holiday table to grow up the vitamin greens without presence at it of various ""chemistry"". It is not difficult to make it.
To grow up on windowsill rather powerful greens to New Year's table, it is necessary to plant, first of all, the correct onions turnip and to make it in time. At the end of November it is a high time to be engaged in preparation and to land onions.
We choose landing bulbs
""Onions it are also onions"", - will tell many. Not so everything is simple. The fact is that onions differ on grades. It happen semi-sharp and sharp. So, for early distillation (by New Year's holidays) it is more successful to plant onions of semi-sharp
grades - the period of ""hibernation"" at it is shorter. At the end of November, onions of sharp (lezhky) grades still ""sleep"". And to distil it on greens quickly it will not turn out, it show ""obstinacy"". For onions distillation on greens after New year, is closer to spring, it is possible to land any grades.
For distillation medium-sized onions with a diameter of 4...5 cm will be the most optimum. It is also possible to use also bulbs upstarts, with the appeared green plumelets. It is impossible to land onions with the begun to rot collum.
Onions shallot and multilevel onions perfectly are suitable for distillation.
Cultivation conditions
The distillation of turnip can be conducted in any suitable container. But will be more practical to land them in uniform low box (pallet for seedling). It is so simpler to look after ""kitchen garden"". As substrate such bulks as will approach: sawdust of different fraction (they are previously scalded boiled water), loose not sour peat, vermiculite. It is possible to use the earth too, but in it midges are often got and it will be more dirt. Now in shops it is possible to get special containers with the equipment for onions distillation in house conditions. Water is poured into container, on bottom the receiver with openings through which air moves is hung up. But this pleasure costs considerable money.
It is undesirable to feed up onions fertilizers. The lack of light provokes education in greens large amount of nitrates. The bulb is storeroom of power supply, in it there is all necessary for growth of green feathers.
We stimulate germination of onions
The simplest will cut off the top of bulbs on ""coat hanger"" that growth kidneys have woken up quicker. It is possible to wet bulbs in warm water within a day that will also serve as stress and will give impetus to growth.
Planting of bulbs
Onions have densely to each other, slightly pressing collum into damp landing mix. During 1.5... 2 weeks at temperature in the room about 20...22 wasps begin to be formed backs, green plumelets appear. During this period of time light is not necessary to onions. As soon as heads have turned green - it is possible to expose on light windowsill. Now light is necessary for growth and forming of useful substances and vitamins B of greens. In process of drying of landing mix, it is moistened.
At rapid growth of greens if it outgrows, it is possible to hold it, having reduced temperature to 15...16 wasps. For this purpose onions ""kitchen garden"" for the night is taken out to more cool room.
