Corn, cucumbers, nasturtium and calendula - select vegetables and flowers that can be planted in advance at home to have time to get a crop or beautiful bright flower beds.
Vegetables
1. Corn
Corn does not feel very well freezing, especially in the period of growth, so you can begin to prepare seedlings in early May, and the sprouted plant move to open soil later. For the extension you will need seeds and plastic cups with a soil. Usually, each cup is already buried 2-3 seeds and leave the fastest and largest plant as a result. It will be possible to transplant sprouted corn on the plot in early June.
2. Cucumbers
In principle, the cucumbers can be safely planted immediately into the open ground, but if the spring got cold and the crop wants to get quickly, start with home seedlings.
- Soak seeds in saline solution. Those that did not fall on the bottom, throw out - they are empty.
- Rinse the remaining heatman in a weak solution and remove the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, put in a warm place, it will help to harden future plants, and they will better carry the temperature differences on the site.
- Lay seeds between two layers of wet fabric. After about 3-4 days, sprouts will appear.
- Further remake them on plastic cups with a soil and cover the food film. Instead of soil, you can use peat tablets or sawdust.
- Weeks through three seedlings will be ready for a transplant to the garden.
3. Pumpkin
To germinate, pumpkins need to take place the largest seeds, hold them a couple of hours in hot water, and then placed in a wet fabric for 2-3 days. Already sprouting sprouts, remove into the fridge to the bundle for vegetables for 3-5 days, checking periodically their condition.
Pumpkin does not like a transplant very much, so it's not worth putting it in plastic cups. Try to find peat pots or make a tank with your own hands from paper, which can then be wet and easy to remove from the earth's coma without damaging it.
After three weeks, the plant will be prepared for open soil.
4. Watermelon and Melon
Watermelon and melons belong to the Bakhchev and thermo-loving vegetables, therefore the technology of preparation of seedlings is similar. At the same time, the preliminary gerination will be needed only if you plant these cultures in the middle and northern lane of Russia, and in the south, for example, in the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov region, seeds can be planted immediately into the soil. For the detection of hollow seeds as well as in the case With cucumbers, use soaking in the salt solution. Suitable for planting seeds are wrapped with a damp cloth for several days. By the way, in the water you will make the fabric, you can add some liquid to accelerate growth.
Spring sprouts are planting in plastic bottles with a sliced neck into the ground for basic crops. If you notice that the leaves began to turn yellow, - add some fertilizer to the ground. After three weeks, they can be transferred to the garden.

Soak seeds in water with the addition of growth stimulator, or, if you like a natural approach, add honey and aloe juice into water. As soon as the plant proceeds, immediately transfer it to the soil. For fragrant peas, any capacity is suitable, as it is sufficiently resistant to the transplant.
2. Nasturtium
Another curly plant with bright orange and red flowers. It is best to plant him in a peat pot somewhere in the middle of May and transfer to the country site in June.
