At first glance, it seems that February is a great month to take a break from gardening.

However, this statement is not entirely correct.

It is in February that you should start sowing strawberries for seedlings, as agricultural scientist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explains.

According to the expert, otherwise one can only dream of a bountiful and tasty harvest.

This is worth remembering.

With the onset of February, it is necessary to first disinfect the soil, preferably with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Next, you should place strawberry seeds, including garden ones, in one layer and cover them with a damp napkin.

Strawberry seeds love warmth and humidity, so you can place the container with them in a plastic bag or under film.

It is extremely important to keep the cloth damp.

The cover can be removed after the first shoots appear.

Use the recommendations given and you will be able to collect the first sweet strawberries already in July-August.
