to germinate the seeds before the treatment with soluble seaweed meal, and fungicide
this is how to disinfect the seeds, then applied with a syringe a few drops of fungicide and algae to sterile gasitas
to only show tayo is protected against pathogens and viruses, and has a small contribution of nitrogen
seem silly but it's a professional thing if it works, the gasitas that are purchased in pharmacies and sterile distilled water

this is my 991 ureña, I have a soft spot for my trip to U.S., Leonardo gave me and I'm trying to plant the best possible! in Spain polinizamos pumpkin and take to grow more than 10 days, when you have 20 days pollinated squash begins to grow slowly, we have used growth, will not know why but I think the high heat affects our growth and moisture very high have this year will see the growth of my pumpkins here in Spain as iran grow, we hope that things improve
