Instruction manual
1
If you like to grow flowers on your plot, then in the first half of March sow the early varieties: petunia, begonia, sweet peas, viola.
2
The first half of March is a great time to sow the seeds of indoor plants. The fact is that in March the duration of daylight increases, therefore, the need for artificial lighting decreases. Plants whose seeds were planted in March will have time to grow and get stronger by autumn, and will endure the first winter without loss. In addition to indoor plants, sow the seeds of those crops that are suitable for growing both in pots and in flower beds: pelargonium, fuchsia, balsam.

In the first half of the month, it is customary to sow black onions and leeks to obtain turnip onions for one summer season.

From the middle of the month you can start sowing early green crops in greenhouses. Sow spinach, radishes, early carrots, different varieties of salad. To ensure high germination of seeds, make sure that the optimum temperature regime is observed in the greenhouse.

Seeds of annual flowers can also be sown in greenhouses or greenhouses for growing seedlings. In the second half of March, sow snapdragon, verbena, asters, allspice tobacco, pansies. For sowing seeds, it is best to use special peat pots, which can be purchased in specialized stores.

Before you start sowing, study the information on the package with seeds. Some seeds need to be germinated in the dark, while others require germination in the light, and it is not recommended to sprinkle with earth when sowing. If the package with seeds does not indicate how deep the seeds need to be planted, focus on the size of the seeds themselves. The layer of earth covering the seeds should be approximately 2 mm larger than the diameter of a single seed. If you dig too small seeds, then the sprouts may simply not have enough strength to break through the soil layer.

In March, sown cabbage seeds for growing seedlings. You can sow Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and white cabbage. Before you start sowing, prepare the seeds. Place the seeds in water heated to 40 ° C for 15 minutes, then lower them for a minute in cold water. Take out the seeds from the water and dip in the trace element solution, then rinse with water and leave in the refrigerator for a day. After such preparation, the seeds need to be slightly dried and sown for seedlings.

Perennial flowers can also be sown in a greenhouse or greenhouse for growing seedlings. Sow in March the seeds of cornflower, cloves and other perennial ornamental plants.
