6. Patissons
To get an early harvest when growing squash, carry out thickened crops and plantings. After closing the leaves in a row, the plants are thinned, cutting through one at the root.

7. Pepper
Pepper seeds (and other vegetable crops) can be disinfected with aloe juice. To do this, the cut leaves of the succulent are put in a glass jar and put it in the refrigerator for 5-6 days. Then the juice is squeezed out of the leaves and the seeds are kept in it for 24 hours.
The temperature of any pepper treatment solutions should be at least +22…+24°C.
During flowering and fruiting, in addition to liquid top dressing, you can sprinkle the soil with wood ash 1-2 cups per 1 m2.
One of the reasons for the appearance of curved fruits in pepper may be insufficiently complete pollination of flowers. To prevent this, in hot sunny calm weather, gently shake the blooming peaches.
8. Tomatoes
To get water to the roots of tomatoes sooner, 2-3 vertical punctures are made around the stem with an iron rod with a diameter of 1-1.5 cm to a depth of 30 cm. You can also tie up the plants with soft twine later.
My mother watered tomatoes like this: in the aisles she made grooves for the entire length of the garden and then let water into them from a hose. The plants were planted in a staggered order, “on scallops”. With this method, there was no compaction of the soil around the tomatoes, and the roots breathed freely.
Before flowering, with the appearance of ovaries and at the beginning of fruit ripening, it is good to water tomatoes with a solution of potassium permanganate (2 g per 10 liters of water). With such treatment, they will be less affected by late blight.
