Seedlings and planting

Some vegetables, like carrots, beans and radishes, can be seeded directly outdoors, while others, such as sweet peppers and tomatoes must be started indoors in pots.
Consult the WEB+ Horticultural Leaflet on Indoor Seedlings.

Vegetables can also be obtained in containers, ready for outdoor transplanting. Always pick plants with a short and thick stem, with green foliage and with a sound appearance.

Transplanting into the outdoor garden is made under cloudy skies, once all risk of frost is over. Carve a small depression around each transplanted vegetable to collect sprinkled water.

Water the plants before and after planting them in the garden.
