Planting seeds
Before sowing seeds, you should take care of their disinfection and prepare fertile soil. Sowing is carried out in March, if the spring is early, then you can sow in February.

The boxes should be placed in a warm room, where the air temperature should be about 25 degrees Celsius. The sprouts can hatch after 2 weeks.
Sprout care
After the first shoots appear, you should take care of proper care. Seedling boxes must be placed in a well-lit place. For five to seven days, the room temperature should be 15-16 degrees Celsius. Further, the temperature needs to be increased to 20-22 degrees.
To grow seedlings, you also need:
- monitor the humidity in the room;
- timely feed the sprouts;
- remove weak stems.
When two true leaves appear on the plant, the seedlings should be dived. To do this, you can use plastic cups, in which the sprouts are planted one by one. A pick will allow the plants to grow and form a powerful root system.
Transplanting
On 60-65 days after sowing, in the phase of six to seven true leaves and one brush, where there is an inflorescence, the seedlings must be planted in open ground or in a greenhouse. Plants should be planted about 50 cm apart. Up to 2 kg of manure should be placed in each hole, thereby creating a nutritious base for tomatoes.
Fruits gain weight in the process of ripening, so you need to take care of the garter. It is recommended that after planting the seedlings, install supports on which the plants should be tied.
