Rules for growing seedlings

A full description of the Tyler tomato is provided on the seed packaging. The manufacturer also provides clear recommendations regarding the timing of sowing the seeds for seedlings, transplanting, and planting them outdoors or in a greenhouse.

According to this information, sowing should be done 60 days before transplanting to a permanent location. The seeds are planted in a special universal soil suitable for growing almost all types of seedlings. It consists of peat, soil, and coarse sand.

The seeding holes should be no more than 2 cm deep. After planting, cover the container with thick plastic wrap and store in a warm place. Remove the plastic wrap as soon as the first sprouts appear.

Young plants require plenty of light, so the seedling container is moved to a well-lit location, most often a windowsill or a glazed, heated balcony. The room temperature is maintained between 17 and 18°C ​​for the first week, then increased to 23-25°C.

Water the seedlings with a spray bottle or a sieve. The water should be settled and at room temperature. When two strong true leaves appear, transplant the plants. Peat pots are best for this purpose; they can be dug into the garden beds along with the seedlings without damaging the young roots.

Plants are planted in the first half of June. The beds should be prepared and fertilized by this time. The soil's nutritional value can be increased with nitrogen, potassium, and superphosphates. Composted manure can also be used for Tyler tomatoes.

The holes are spaced 50 cm apart from each other, as the bushes will grow quite large. Leave 60 cm between rows. No more than 3-4 plants can be planted per square meter.

Immediately after planting, the beds should be watered and the holes mulched. Most gardeners prefer wood shavings, considering this material the safest and most suitable for nightshade crops. After 1 week, the Tyler tomato seedlings need to be fed with complex mineral fertilizers. Further care of the beds is carried out in the usual manner: the plants are watered, the soil underneath them is loosened and fertilized.
