By growing vegetables and herbs in heated and unheated greenhouses and frames, we accelerate the harvest up to 6 weeks. Accelerated harvesting is one of the reasons for growing vegetables in a greenhouse.The second reason is that in our climate some vegetables cannot be grown in the ground.
There are other benefits as well - the ability to grow plants without the problems caused by wind, rain or snow. The greenhouse can also be used to produce seedlings of ground vegetable varieties.
Choose for sowing varieties that grow fast and are resistant to fungal diseases (all the most necessary information on this subject should be on the back of the package). Carrots sprout very slowly, even in optimal development conditions. It usually takes 2-3 weeks for the first young leaves to emerge from the ground. If you sprinkle a few dill seeds with carrot seeds, the carrots will grow even faster.
From the experience of people dealing with the so-called by coordinating cultivation, it is clear that thanks to fennel the carrot becomes more fragrant.In turn, the vicinity of chervil significantly improves the taste and fertility of radishes and radishes.A leaf turnip grows under glass almost as fast as watercress or arugula. For culinary purposes, its leaves and delicate leaf stalks are used.
Spinach needs to be cultivated in a fine-grained, humus-like soil and is a good neighborhood for all crops grown in intercrop.All leaf vegetables are fed moderately in spring and preferably with compost or other organic fertilizer.The high nutritional requirements of such plants as turnips and kohlrabi can be met by feeding them with liquid fertilizer mixed with water for irrigation.
Substrate and the quality of sown plants
Good quality soil for sowing seeds is loose and fine. It contains neither fertilizer (or only negligible amounts of it) nor seeds.In normal, mostly fed soil for flowers, seedlings grow too quickly, making them hardly durable and more often infected with fungal diseases.
The soil for seedlings can be bought or prepared by yourself. For this purpose, mix mature compost, sand and peat in equal proportions, then sterilize the substrate in the oven for about 30 minutes at 200 ° C.
