It's been a long spring on the calendar. And if so, the sun should shine, the sky should be blue, and the clouds are rare-rare and so transparent that if you sit down on it with your feet, you will surely fall. Instead, then rain, snow, rain with snow, snow with rain, or snow falls with flakes and lies all night, does not melt until dinner.

The temperature then rises, then falls, but still more often it is cold than heat. The furnace is heated every day. And not just once. But where is the spring red? The snow has not yet melted away, over the sidewalk in the courtyard is water.

They brought firewood, they split it, but they did not put it in place yet - in the wood-fired water, on the way to them water - snow melts. And the land has not thawed yet, it does not let the water pass.

Meanwhile, all seeds are prepared, and on the windows, tables, on the chest of drawers - seedlings. Tomato pieces of fifty, all boxes are signed, re-sorting will not be when landed. Seedlings are not bad. It helps me to prepare earth from autumn, this is a small black earth.

To me, a friend of mine, an even older woman than I, and a very good person, said that for seedlings you need ordinary land from the garden, so that plants do not luxuriate, and then, when they are planted in the ground, stress is not experienced.

And I still believe that as a child, even people, even plants need to love and create them special, greenhouse conditions. A month ago I sowed aubergines, sweet and hot peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, Peking cabbage. Now the seedlings are already large.

The fact is that the windows overlook the sunny side, the sun still happens, water, how much you need. Here are the seedlings and flaunts. Tomatoes are waiting for the landing in the ground. One has broken, and it's a pity to throw it away.

In such cases, put the top part in a jar of water, in ten days the tomato gives roots, soot to the ground, fructifies. Tried and with the lower part of the stem so do-not like it, there was very little fruit. Eggplants are simply luxurious, peppers are different, but mostly good, not enough light.

This year, I sowed the cabbage at home in Beijing, I hope, there will be first and second harvest, we are making time. Day after three or four I sow cucumbers. Squash, pumpkin. If only the land in the garden was dried up, and then where am I with the seedlings?

Experience suggests that if you sow cucumbers before the fifth of May, in July you will already be salted for the winter. By this time, hot peppers, carrots, parsley, dill will be ready. Well kept pickled tomatoes, we now get the last year, delicious.

Zucchini the size of an average cucumber cut into a liter and less than the size of a jar and also a salt for the winter. Everything is eaten with pleasure. Today is the 30th of April. At this time, usually sowed white-cabbage, cauliflower, in the nursery in the garden.

We knocked down a box from a slab meter to two and a little more than a meter high, without a bottom. In the autumn, we release it and fill it with grass, tops, we trample down. In the spring, we put manure on top, hum and we sow cabbage, and in the remaining place - radish.

Cover the glazed frame. It turns out a good seedling of cabbage and an early radish. But this spring you can not approach the hotbed - it's dirty. Patience, patience, patience! I know that all the same, despite the late spring, vegetables will grow, because we have enough white nights in June, like in St. Petersburg. In addition, it will be hot all the same, but the soul hurts. In addition, I want more fresh vegetables. The sun, the sun, warm Siberia!
