2 Cucumbers
If you really want to regularly get cucumbers from the bed, you can germinate them at home. Choose self-polished early and bush grades for this.

Tomatoes are thermal-loving plants, so they will be perfectly going on the window on the sun's side of the house. They need a temperature of more than 20 ° C - at night, not less than 22 ° C - during the day. For apartments, varieties with small fruits are suitable, for example, Cherry. You can accommodate them not only in pots and boxes, but also in suspended porridge.
4 radish
Another delicious vegetable, which can easily grow at home, is radishes. It is better to plant in pots from clay or tree. Seeds before the procedure should be soaked in water with a small addition of salt. Those that will emerge are not needed. After in loose ground, make small pits 1-3 cm depth, place the seeds and cover the pots of the film to create a greenhouse effect.
Abundantly water the soil and do not bring to dryness. When radishes germinate, seedlings can be transferred to a sharp place for hardening. Temperature should not be below 15 ° C. After 5 days after the appearance of sprouts, add organic fertilizers, and after 14 days - mineral.
5 carrots

6 lemon
The lemon tree with green leaves will become an excellent decoration of any interior, even if the fruit does not appear on it, since the process of germination is quite time-consuming.

7 avocado
If you decide to plant this fruit at home, we advise you to choose dwarf varieties. They are not so demanding like others. You can germinate avocado from the bone, but it is not always fast and successfully. Most likely, you get a tree that does not give fruit.
Therefore, the easiest way, as in the case of lemon, acquire already germinated avocado. For home dilution, a ceramic large pot is suitable (at least 25 cm in diameter), the depth also should be provided more, since the root system needs a lot of space. When transplanting do not forget about drainage, and the ground is based on the sand-based. And do not forget to water.
