Terms of planting pepper on seedlings on the lunar calendar in 2019
Usually planting peppers for seedlings is carried out from February 15 to March 10. However, it is necessary to take into account that vegetable seeds germinate for a long time, and plants should be planted in open ground at the age of 60 days; at the same time the soil should already be well heated. Because of this, each region has its own landing dates. Most often in the temperate zone this is the middle of February - the first decade of March, and in the south since the beginning of February.
