The key to success lies in the timing of planting and following the lunar calendar.
When to Plant Tomatoes for Seedlings in 2025?
For gardeners aiming for excellent results, it is crucial to accurately determine when to start growing seedlings. You can begin as early as February — this is the perfect time for the first sowings. According to the lunar calendar, favorable days for planting in this month are February 1, 4, 5, 10, and 11.
In March, the optimal dates for sowing are from the 6th to the 9th.
When to Plant Tomatoes in April and May?
In April, the most successful sowings will occur from the 2nd to the 13th, as well as in the last days of the month. In May, pay attention to favorable days such as the 1st-3rd, 6th-10th, and 28th-30th.
When to Sow Tomatoes in June?
In June, when temperatures and conditions become more stable, it is best to sow tomatoes from the 2nd to the 6th, as well as on the 10th and from the 26th to the 30th. Avoid sowing on June 11th and 25th, as these are unfavorable days.
Early Sowing is Not Always the Solution
However, it is important to remember that planting seedlings too early does not always yield good results. Consider the climatic conditions of your region, as overly large seedlings will not guarantee a good harvest. The height of seedlings for planting in the ground should be between 18 and 28 centimeters. The stem should be strong, and the leaves well-developed.
