4. Cover with thin glass or a piece of film.
5. Leave in a warm place until the first shoots.
6. Water when dry.

In hot temperatures, seedlings should germinate within a week. With the advent of seedlings, seedlings must be provided with sunlight. To do this, containers with tomatoes must be placed on the windowsill on the south side.

Young sprouts need fresh air. On a warm day, containers with seedlings should be taken out to the veranda or balcony. Plants should gradually get used to the outdoor temperature. In the early days, avoid direct sunlight on the containers.

Landing in open ground

This variety of tomato is planted in open ground in late May - early June, when there is no threat of frost.

Under the film shelter and in the greenhouse, you can plant seedlings in mid-May. In the future, regular watering and top dressing are necessary.
