The timing of planting seedlings of maiden grapes

planting a seedling A perennial liana is an unpretentious plant, which can also be attributed to young seedlings. Grown, developed and healthy bushes take root well almost always, given the conditions of the local climate when planting.

In general, wild grape seedlings can be planted in one of the following ways:

In the middle of spring, after the ground warms up and the frosts go away (April-early May). Spring planting is most often used in the central and northern lane. So the young grapes will have enough time to get stronger before the onset of cold weather and winter without losses.
In autumn, but not later than mid-October and not less than two weeks before the first frost. Autumn planting is used mainly in southern regions, where winters are not particularly severe. But even here young bushes should spend their first wintering under cover.

The soil must be prepared in advance - at least a week before planting the seedling. A drainage layer should be poured into the dug planting hole. Instead of dug out soil, it is better to fill the hole with nutrient soil: 2 parts each compost and leafy ground, 1 part of sand, 2 tbsp. ash. This will make it possible to do without additional feeding of the vines for three years.

They will spend winter in the cold, which will increase germination, and in spring they will give friendly sprouts.
To carry out spring sowing, it is better to subject the seeds to long-term stratification. So, for March sowing, seeds should be sent to the refrigerator in January. To do this, they must be poured into a damp cloth bag and placed in a bag or tray. 3 days before sowing, all that remains is to soak the seeds in water and plant in pots. Seedlings can be planted in the garden in early summer.
