For experienced gardeners, the transplantation period is associated with the lunar calendar, it is by it that they navigate and select days favorable for this procedure.

Culture information

For the regions, there are favorable days for transplanting any tomatoes into open ground or a pre-prepared greenhouse. Tomatoes are a source of vitamins and minerals. In order to get a harvest, it will take an average of 110 days, based on this, calculations should be made regarding the period of picking seedlings. In most cases, transplanting tomatoes according to the lunar calendar is carried out taking into account the temperature indicators of a particular area, so it is important to pay attention to any weather changes. Seeds for planting must be picked up in early spring (early March). In the same period, soil and containers are selected for planting and subsequent cultivation of tomatoes.

When is it better to transplant

You can start actively planting tomatoes as soon as the snow cover completely disappears. Additionally, you need to make sure that the soil is warmed up, which will provide the roots and the plant as a whole with the opportunity to take root and develop. You can choose March for transplanting, but this month is relevant for the southern regions, where the likelihood of snow and frost is excluded during this period.

Remember! Seedlings in April will already be sufficiently developed and strong so that they do not get sick or wither after moving into the ground.

April is the best month for transplanting tomatoes in the middle lane. This month is good, as there will be no frosts, the probability of snow is minimal, and temperature indicators will only increase.

The timing of transplants is determined primarily by the usual calendar, but certain numbers are very important, since they affect the growth and development of the plant. The right time also determines what the yield will be. The Moon has a special influence on these indicators.

Timely transplantation of tomatoes is carried out in April, focusing on favorable days. The first point to consider is the plants must first be placed in small containers (pots or boxes). After the pick, 20-25 days should pass until this moment.

A plant is placed in the greenhouse when the ground is well warmed up. It is recommended to measure indicators at a depth of 10 cm before transferring tomatoes. Optimum indicators are 10-12 degrees. It is also best to transplant on cloudy days so that direct sunlight on the first day does not affect the tomatoes.

 

Seedlings in April will already be quite developed and strong

The lunar calendar is used by gardeners not only because it indicates the most suitable dates for carrying out certain actions with plants, but also gives advice on how to significantly increase productivity indicators. Special attention should be paid to them for gardeners who have no experience in growing tomatoes.
