The long-awaited chores on the garden plot delight us and benefit the plants. In April-May, you need to do several important things, on which the yield and beauty of flower beds depend
Spring work on flower beds, in the garden, in the garden consists of 7 things that must be done before mid-May.
Top dressing
Berry bushes and fruit trees should receive nutrition at the beginning of the season, as it will take a lot of strength to grow and bear fruit. Organic fertilizers will help provide energy.
In the spring, humus is introduced under all fruit crops. This can be done immediately after the snow melts or until the end of May. Fertilizer is placed in the trunk circle and mulched. The dose depends on the size and age of the seedling. Estimated consumption: for 10 sq / m 40-60 kg.
Chicken droppings give a good effect. Granular / dry diluted according to package directions. If fresh manure is used for the solution, then 20 parts of water must be added to one part. After mixing, it is infused for 1-2 days. For an adult plant, 1-2 buckets are taken for watering. For bushes, count according to the scheme 10 liters per 1 sq / m.
Spraying trees
It is better not to use pesticides for pest control. In the fight against leafworm, apple moth, moth, honey beetle, ash and tobacco infusions are great help. These products are not harmful to beneficial insects and humans.
1.
Ash solution prepared from oven ash. For 10 liters of water, 300 g are required, boil for 3-5 minutes, strain after cooling. Better to use on the same day. Spraying is done until the branches are completely wet in dry weather.
2.
Tobacco infusion … For the recipe, you need 200-250 g of tobacco dust (makhorka, tobacco leaves). The whole mass is poured with boiling water (5 l), covered with a lid and left for 2 days to infuse. Before use, add water to 10 liters. To improve the action (sticking effect), add 50 g of soap (crushed on a grater) or 2-3 tbsp. l. liquid hand wash. Apply on the day of preparation.
Reproduction of currants
Cuttings are harvested before flowering begins. Branches of black, red, white currants for propagation should be as thick as a pencil and have 6-7 buds. For reproduction, you can use the one-year-old shoots of the mother bush.
After cutting, they are kept in Kornevin's solution and planted in the ground. Deepening of the cutting is done by 15-20 cm, at an acute angle. It is important that at least one kidney remains above the ground.
If the reproduction is large-scale, then the cut branches are planted in increments of 8-10 cm, 20-25 are left between the rows. By the fall, a root system is formed, the seedlings are ready for planting in the main place.
Vaccinations in spring
The beginning of sap flow is a favorable moment for vaccinations, it is important to choose the right time. The weather should turn into positive values, small frosts at night do not affect survival rate. Work on a cloudy day or in the evening. Remember to keep your appliances clean and use a garden jug to close your wounds.
Raspberries
After the snow melts, we untie, straighten the stems. We tie it to a support / wire, remove damaged, dry branches. Crown pruning should be done before the leaves are fully unfolded (May). All shoots left for fruiting are shortened by 10-15 cm, this will increase bushiness, increase the raspberry yield.
Sowing work in the garden
The choice of timing for planting seedlings and sowing in open ground is always difficult. You can never be wrong if you focus on the surrounding nature. Plants growing nearby will accurately indicate the time of planting. Here are some examples:
• crocuses have blossomed, privet bushes is time to sow onions;
• the white flower, hazel (hazel) blossomed - sow spinach, radish;
• forsythia has blossomed - the time has come for parsley with carrots;
• daffodil buds have opened - sow early radish, cauliflower, Savoy, red cabbage, lettuce, kohlrabi;
• unrolled oak leaves - there will be no more frosts. The time has come for heat-loving crops: zucchini, pumpkin, cucumbers, pitissons;
• the first buds of peonies have blossomed - plant peppers, sweet corn.
Work in a flower garden
Until mid-May, you can do the division of irises, peonies. Until foliage appears, phlox, hostu, chrysanthemums, astilbe and other perennials are divided. Work stops from the moment of active growth of the aboveground part.
