Jewelry work - growing strawberries with seeds

Many people like to breed more and more varieties of various fruit and berry crops. Fragrant strawberries open up wide open spaces for such unusual experiments. Seeds of popular varieties are taken as seed:

• Regina;
• Queen Elizabeth II;
• «Ali Baba»;
• "Coquette" (very expensive).

There are many varieties on the market that do not require antennae removal. At the same time, the berries grow large and so fragrant that it is simply impossible to resist. Still, sowing, as well as picking, will have to tinker a little, feeling the complexity of a jeweler's work.

A handful of seeds for sowing

To begin with, determine the number of planting seeds in order to evenly distribute them on a miniature area. The sifted earth is collected in a shallow container. With the help of a plank (it is cut along the width of the tray), transverse grooves are formed. The depth of each is 5 mm, and the distance between them is 1-2 cm. Further:

• sowing approximately 20 seeds in one row;
• lightly press the bed with a board, thus hiding the strawberry nucleolus in the recesses;
• sprinkle the surface abundantly with water so that the soil is saturated up to 1 cm, and the shoots do not sprout in dry ground;
• cover with glass on top.

The seeding method used in this case is superficial. Therefore, the soil must be sieved and leveled. It is not necessary to bury the grains too much in order to maintain air circulation.

The seedlings are aired every day. Raise the transparent cover and spray at a distance of 40-50 cm (with one press). This distance will prevent the liquid from washing away the sprouts. Storage temperature - 20 ° С. When the first shoots appear:

• the glass is removed;
• put the container in the light;
• lower the temperature to 17 ° C.

Under such favorable conditions, the seedlings rise and 2-3 leaves appear. She is now ready for a transplant. Some say that the planting material needs to be stratified, but fresh seeds will sprout anyway.

Prepare the soil. Filter the earth through a sieve with 5 mm divisions. The soil is filled in cassettes with cells of 2.5 cm. This volume is enough for the root system to get stronger. When the sprouts come up, they will not shade each other, which means they can grow. The container is placed on a hard pallet. This will allow you to transfer the seedlings if necessary. Then they follow this algorithm:

• the earth is evenly distributed and leveled;
• with the help of tweezers, they make a depression and transfer the seedlings along with an earthen lump;
• press the seedling;
• poured from a bottle (a 2 mm hole is drilled in the lid).

The solution for spraying is prepared on the basis of the rooting or root. Then the seedlings will be able to take root faster / better. The strawberries will now grow and thrive until the spring planting.
