How to sow properly before winter to obtain sprouts in spring

Sow the seeds often before winter to get an early harvest. Seed passes qualitative selection, plants suffer less, and grow strong. Often crops for winter often do not germinate. Why it happens? Let's investigate.

What are the seeds from the garden can be sown before winter

By the end of October - early November is often in the middle lane is set cool weather, the ground freezes, the first snow. The seeds of flowering plants at this time until the end of ripening (Echinacea, clematis, kosmeya, perennial phlox, calendula, cornflower, etc.).

Seeds desirable to collect in dry weather. If this is not possible, and constantly rains, in which case you can bring home the plants to dry and continue the further ripening on the windowsill.

Hydrangea also gives seeds, they did not notice their caps-like inflorescences. But better, of course, propagated by cuttings.

Sow the seeds of flowers from store bags

If you have purchased bags of flower seeds at the store in the autumn, some of them are already sowing before winter. It eschscholzia, allisum, rudbeckia, helenium.

Sow seeds and green vegetables

Of green crop can be sown under winter dill, parsley, cilantro. Of vegetables - beets, carrots, Chernushka.

Basic errors during sowing

Of course, the main mistake - early planting dates in the thaw. A sow is necessary on the frozen ground, and not during the thaw. When the positive temperature seeds swell from moisture, the shell bursts, and under favorable weather germination starts.

When the cold weather seeds will freeze and become unusable. Meaning podzimnego sowing is that they should be able to rest until spring, and no intergrowths should not be.

Thus, it is necessary to wait for stable cold temperatures to start under winter sown seeds of various crops.

In late October, can be severe frosts, and then come warming, so hurry up with crops not worth it. The best time for planting - this November and later, it is important that the ground was frozen, and even can be sown in the snow, which can be shifted from the garden or flower bed.

Moreover, the grooves can be made in advance, with many plants sown only on the surface and covered with dry soil, previously set in warm weather. For example, sowing the seeds of Echinacea, eschscholzia, allisum, dill.

Also, do not sow in low-lying areas. There, the ground freezes slowly need to choose the places where moisture does not stagnate. It is better to make a bed elevated, especially if the site is in a valley.

Another error - Watering after sowing the seeds. It should not do. It is not necessary to water boarding.

can also be a problem in areas where dense, clay soil. Often as a result of alternations of frost and thaw the soil surface a dense crust. Seeds (sprouts) in the spring is often difficult to break through it.

The problem is solved as in this case - make the beds rotted compost, sand, all mixed, and sow the seeds in the furrow made. Grooves fall asleep or sand, or the purchase of land.
