January - mid-winter, it seems that there is no time to start landings of various cultures to seedlings, but it is not. January is the most favorable month for Seva's late vegetables, as well as colors that bloom after a fairly long time after landing.
In winter, on the windowsill, you can grow not only seedlings, but also "greens" for food. Yes, not every plant can be raised with a short light day, but onions, parsley, celery, beets are quite well growing, but only through the intake of the root. For the cultivation of greens through seeds (dill, kinse, parsley, and other) will need additional lighting.
Now as for seedlings. In January, many vegetable crops can be attached, for example, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, eggplants, and from flowers - petunia, lobelia, carnation, eustomu, primura. The only thing that should be taken into account, the vegetables are suitable lateral varieties for planting, since the ranks can begin to be fruitful in the spring, and due to the lack of space on the windowsill and nutrition, the harvest is not particularly and delight. Yes, and the seedlings themselves will be difficult to transplant, since the fruiting plants are very painful to carry such procedures.
All of the above flowers are optionally imprisoned in the middle of winter, however, if you wish to enjoy their blooming already in the spring, at the beginning of the summer, then January is the most suitable month to disperse seeds in the seedlings. The data of the flowers are quite slowly growing, some of them are required Up to three or four months are developed before they bloom. For example, Petunia blooms after 70-75 days after landing, Estoma - 90-100 days, Lobelia - 60-80 days.
