Some summer residents like to sow tomatoes for seedlings in the morning, so that they can go about their business in peace. However, experienced gardeners do not recommend it, and there are several reasons for it. Find out why you should absolutely not sow tomatoes for seedlings in the morning and why it is better to do it in the evening.

Why is it better to sow tomatoes for seedlings in the evening?

Experienced summer residents recommend sowing tomato seedlings in the evening, when it is not so hot and the soil is not as cold as in the morning. Also, in the evening, the humidity level is slightly higher, and this, in turn, also has a good effect on tomato seedlings.

Lighting is also important for seedlings, but the sun's scorching rays can leave burns on the leaves and dry out the soil. That's another reason not to sow tomato seedlings in the morning. Tomato plants have plenty of time to recover and adapt to new growing conditions during the night.

In the south, where the regions have a hotter climate, summer residents advise sowing seedlings late in the evening, when there is no sun in the sky. However, if we talk about the northern regions, it is better to do it in the morning. Therefore, when sowing seedlings, you should focus on the region, climatic conditions, and air temperature.
