Linum usitatissimum (flax/linseed)

It is best to sow in pots, trays or greenhouses, to allow the seed to germinate, after which it can be planted out to the place where it can continue to grow. This can be done in a greenhouse or indoors. The sowing soil can be bought ready-made, but can also be made yourself by mixing 4 parts of potting soil with 1 part of coarse sand (for example crusher's sand). The depth of the seed in the soil is about 2.5 times the size of the seed. A few millimeters is therefore sufficient for small seeds. Do not sow too deeply. The soil must be sufficiently moistened, but not too much, so as not to dry out and not to rot. Once the seeds have germinated and grown somewhat, they can be planted outside. Let them get used to the temperature first, and in any case not below an outside temperature of 15 degrees
