Eggplants. Seedling of this tasty and useful vegetable also has to get stronger before landing to the constant place therefore it is possible to seed seeds in January.
Celery. In the second half of January it is possible to put root and petiolar celery as duration of the vegetative period at this culture is about 160 days on seedling. It will be required to pave the special way from universal soil and sand (1:1) for cultivation of seedling of celery.
White and cauliflower. In this case it is about grades of late maturing, early ripening grades can be seeded on seedling later.
Potatoes from seeds. As the plant which is grown up from seeds differs in long development, landing of seedling in January is indispensable condition. For prorashchivaniye of seeds of potatoes individual tanks and peat tablets are used. In the second half of May seedling of potatoes can be replaced to bed.
Leek and onions-chernushka. If you want to receive onions turnip in one year, then it is possible to plant seeds on seedling in January. In the general deep box the universal soil mixed with sand in equal proportion is filled up. Then plant seeds and cover with glass. Seedling grows in total capacity before emergence of the two first feathers. Weak plants need to be deleted.
Also in January it is possible to put on seedling remontant grades of wild strawberry and strawberry, that is those grades which within one season can repeatedly blossom and fructify. If to seed seeds of berries in January, then the first harvest can be received in July-August.
All these plants have the long vegetative period therefore they can be imprisoned on seedling earlier, than other cultures. It will allow to receive full-fledged harvest at the beginning of summer and will make your power supply saturated with necessary vitamins and microelements.
What seedling of flowers is planted in January
If you want to accelerate blossoming of plants, then it makes sense to grow up them through seedling planted in January. It is possible to plant seeds on seedling both annual, and long-term flowers.
Petunia. Very unpretentious plant with beautiful flowers and the most various shades enjoying wide popularity at gardeners.
Shabo's carnation. Long-term culture which differs in long and beautiful blossoming.
Lobelia. Plant from family of bell-flower family. During blossoming it reminds the continuous blossoming sphere behind which leaves are practically not looked through. Cultivation of lobelia is rather labor-intensive process, especially at seedling stage.
Garden primrose. This perennial plant drooped love at flower growers for unusual exterior, original coloring and unpretentiousness in leaving. The primrose as the small blossoming bush of the compact size looks.
Eustoma. Treats perennial plants, but to thicket it is used as one-year. It is appreciated the beautiful and big flowers of various shades by the form reminding hand bells.
Also in January surely it is necessary to plant bulbous flowers (tulips, hyacinths, narcissuses) on distillation by March 8. After bulb of flowers it will be possible to replace to constant bed.
How there was a wish to start quicker cultivation of seedling, it is necessary to consider several factors. First, it is necessary to prepare containers for seedling and special soil. Secondly, it is necessary to get lamp for dosvechivaniye as duration of daylight hours in January is not enough for development of healthy seedling. Thirdly, it is necessary to consider terms for change of seedling to the open ground. For flower cultures the range on terms can be rather variable – one-two months. Whereas at cultivation of vegetables it is necessary to follow strictly disembarkation terms, otherwise the outgrown seedling will long take root on the new place, and the adult plant will fructify less and later.
