What to sow in January and win: a list of plants for a flower bed and beds for the most impatient summer residents
Do you want to start sowing in January? Then a fiery salute, hasty fellow gardener! Today on the agenda is a list of crops whose seeds are already being asked for in containers, boxes or peat tablets.
But it is my duty as an honest citizen to warn you. If you are going to take up early sowing, then you will definitely need additional lighting. There is unforgivably little light in January. And growing early seedlings will be a pain. And for you and for them.
What to sow in January edible
First candidate - Strawberry. This is the culture, the bushes of which need to be renewed periodically. I have no doubt that it is much easier to do this with a mustache - your own or your neighbors. Or maybe someone is ready to fork out for the purchase of strawberry seedlings.
But, having got involved in an adventure with seeds, you can catch up with two birds with one stone: both play and get interesting hybrids for your garden.
Strawberries can be sown later. And in February, and even in March. But the sooner the better. Because the more mature the bushes are by the autumn cold, the higher the probability of successful wintering.
Note to a friend: In order for the roots of young strawberry seedlings to grow stronger for winter, feed them with potassium monophosphate in the last decade of August.
What to sow in January beautiful
Comrade! January is the last opportunity to sow and grow eustoma (lisianthus). Even if the flower live often does not look the same as in the picture. But still, the flower is charming in its own way. And every gardener should grow eustoma at least once in his life. At least to understand: this plant is his or not.
Do you prefer more modest beauty? The seeds are waiting for you bells. For instance, Carpathian. The plant will be suitable for any yard: it is good both in hanging pots or boxes, and in tall flowerpots on a leg, and just on a flower bed - with a border.
Note to a friend: Bells look extremely decorative next to water. If you have a pond or a fountain on your site, plant it nearby and see what happens. I only have a manhole.
January means that flower growers all over Russia grab onto seeds. delphiniums. If you decide to grow something bright, dimensional and grandiose, then it's time for you to hurry.
And if you are not worried about eustoma, bells and even more giants-delphiniums are not attracted to you, then you should not reinvent the wheel. Boldly this zonal pelargoniumso that at the time of landing in the ground, you already have flowering specimens.
But, to be honest: I consider the cultivation of pelargonium from seeds to be a thankless task. Seedlings are unlikely to repeat the color of their parents, and even more so they will not reproduce what is printed on the package.
It turns out that you have been raising a cat in a poke for 3 months: both in terms of decorative and quality characteristics. The first 2 times are interesting. Then - it's better to just break off the shoots from plants that you really like.
What are you sowing in January?
Liked something from the selection - click, comrade, "Thumbs up"!
