You can’t wait? When there are large yellow flowers in the flower bed and not long after them the first green crop. How many different zucchini variants can be grown, prepare them in so many different ways and three more times as much. “Right now, you can make up to three weeks in their cultivation,” says Jana Bucharová in podcast.
The counseling center not only about pumpkins and zucchini can be found here:
Is it even necessary to pre -grow zucchini? Basically not. You can wait until mid -May and then sow the seeds directly into the prepared flower bed. However, pre -growing at home behind the window has one big advantage. “It will give you a few weeks ahead,” says Jana Bucharová, expert on the Garden Topics of the Recipe magazine. And the crop will lose the few weeks earlier. Just wait for you to offer them to anyone who just goes around.
Right time
While the zucchini and pumpkin flowerbed you can net only around mid -May, so the so -called frozen, the seedlings are the right time for the seedlings. Around mid -April. Thanks to this, the seeds at home in warmth are conveniently germinating and driving the first leaves, but at the same time you will not bother them in the pot for too long. “Think about having enough light and moisture,” the expert recommends.
You should then be very careful when transplanting. Keep an eye on so that the soil is not too dry or wet and be careful about the roots.
Strong root
Even if the seedlings are small at the beginning, be aware that they will soon need much more space. Although it may not be clear at the point of view. Zucchini, like pumpkins, grow much more intensely at the beginning than up. “They have a larger root pack and are evidenced by more spacious pots, as well as enough moisture and fertilizers,” explains the expert.
Therefore, move the seedlings very quickly from the growing bowls to pots with a diameter of about 10 centimeters. You can improve them with a suitable fertilizer for seedlings or with a leach from nettles or dandelion. Better to wait for the compost for the moment when you drop the seedlings out.
