The basic rules for successful planting
This week, the seeds need to land in anticipation of the summer are not many . By cons , they generally require a little more skill on the part of the gardener. However, before we go any further , here are some basic rules for planting .
Tamp the soil before planting to prevent the seeds tumble between soil particles and they are found too deep to germinate. In individual pots , always sow two seeds . If both seeds germinate , remove the weaker plant.



    Courget Seedlings



 The best way to water is capillary , that is to say by placing the container seedlings in another larger container containing enough water to moisten the soil. Attention to overflow ! One can also spray with a spray of very fine spraying of water droplets. After watering , place a clear plastic cover or window on trays or pots . Remove it when the seeds begin to germinate.
To thrive , seedlings generally need heat , as well as 12 to 16 hours of light per day. Fluorescent lights are placed about 7.5 cm from the plant to be fully effective . The seedlings should never run out of water ... they should not have too much either! Watering should be done gently with a watering can with small holes to avoid damaging the seedlings. Once a week , fertilize your seedlings by adding a half dose of fish emulsion and liquid seaweed to the irrigation water.

CeleryIt is still too early for planting vegetables except perhaps for celery , if the risk of frost in your area are down from May 15 As the germination of celery is often low , do not skimp on the seeds. Sow them in a soil rich in organic matter and cover with a hint of sand or soil as fine seeds need light to germinate . Planting celery require 10 to 12 weeks of growth before they can be transplanted to the garden and germination takes between 7 and 20 days in soil whose temperature is between 18 ˚ C and 24 ˚ C.
Annual FlowersSeveral little-known annual flowers should be sown early to bloom in the garden. Anagalis monelli is one of them . Native to the Mediterranean , this beautiful blue eyes is not the easiest to germinate , but it grows relatively well in the future. Sow into a rich compost and very draining soil. As celery seed needs light to germinate. Germination takes between 18 and 21 days at 18 ˚ C to 20 ˚ C. When the seedlings start to grow, the temperature was reduced to 15 ˚ C. Germination is very uneven : the seeds can germinate one or two weeks after the first .
