Sowing dates of the main garden crops in the open ground, taking into account the Warm winter of 2020
Vegetable crops are one of the main components of the human diet.
Owners of summer cottages and vegetable gardens plant vegetables in the ground annually, while preparation and planting may differ depending on different types of plants.
In order to be able to plant vegetables, it is necessary that the soil and air temperature are suitable for plant growth.
When to start sowing
Sowing starts in different regions at specific times. In the southern regions of the country, where the air temperature is higher, vegetables are planted in the first months of spring.
The indicator for planting plants in the soil is temperature. Various types of devices are used to measure soil temperature, thanks to which even a novice gardener will not be mistaken.
It is necessary that the optimum temperature is at the depth of the root system.
How to determine if the soil is ready for sowing
You can also determine the time of disembarkation by folk signs:
1. If the buds have blossomed on the currant bushes, then it's time to plant vegetables and flowers.
2. When the buds unfold on a birch, this means that the earth has warmed up by five centimeters. During the period of unfolding the leaves, you can plant root crops in the ground.
During the flowering period, the soil warms up to a depth of 10 centimeters, which means you can plant tomatoes.
3. When dandelions begin to bloom, it means that the ground at a depth of 10 centimeters has warmed up to ten degrees Celsius.
4. Potatoes can be planted during the flowering period of the bird cherry.
This year, winter in almost all regions of the country was warm, so it will not be entirely correct to be guided by signs. It is best to use appropriate instruments to correctly estimate the required temperature readings.
If we talk about which vegetable crops to plant in the ground first, then you need to start with: dill, parsley, coriander. Next, salads, legumes and early cabbage are planted.
The following are root vegetables: carrots, radishes, onions and garlic. As a rule, such crops are planted in the ground at the end of March and the first half of April, when the soil is normally warmed up.
The main sowing period in the central part of the country is in late April and early May. During this period, almost all types of vegetables are planted. The amount of daylight hours, as well as the air temperature, contribute to correct and good growth.
Every gardener tries to ensure that he has a good harvest in his beds, and for this it is important to correctly determine when exactly to plant the plants in the ground.
