What will help increase the harvest at the end of the season
Let's take a look at the most popular vegetables, their September problems. Let's talk about how to solve them.
Tomatoes and peppers
Tall tomatoes are capable of bearing fruit indefinitely, as they have no growth restrictions. The main obstacles to such productivity are the onset of cold weather and illness.
You can prolong fruiting if you stop growth in time. This is done in mid-August. Cup the tops, get rid of all the stepsons and cut off all the leaves to the penultimate brush. This will help to concentrate the bush's strength on the ripening of the remaining fruits.
Also, by the beginning of September, there should be no brushes with flowers and germ-peas. For peppers, cut off the shoots on all branches with peduncles and barely set fruits. Leave only what has time to ripen.
Be sure to feed with a superphosphate extract. Soak 1 tbsp / L superphosphate and a glass of ash in hot water (10 liter bucket). Leave for a day and then pour this solution.
Spray with Gamair, Fitosporin or Alirin. Growth stimulants will work effectively: Immunocytophyte, Amulet, Novosil. In the greenhouse, ventilate, even in cool weather.
Advice. Not all tomatoes are fully ripe. Collect the green fruits and put them in one layer in a box, drawer, sofa, on the floor under the bed, etc. It is better if there are no temperature changes in the room.
To speed up ripening, cover with paper / cloth and place a few ripe tomatoes or apples among the greens. It will also help speed up the washing process before laying with warm water, followed by drying or wiping.
Zucchini
Cold nights have a negative effect on the zucchini, moreover, they are already stretched out and tired. The above actions are to insulate and give additional food. Water with a warm solution of any complex fertilizer. Remove dead leaves. Do not cut at the stem, but leave two-thirds of the petiole. Place archways for cover and cover the bed overnight with a non-woven fabric.
Cucumbers
At the end of summer, cucumbers become overly long lashes and signs of disease. The problem for cucumbers in early September is increased moisture and cold nights. They need warmth and protection from infections.
Your actions should be directed towards rejuvenation. To do this, dig in the lower part of the stem (30-40 cm). If the plants are tied up, lower them, remove the leaves from the area of the whip intended for dropping. The soil layer for covering should be fertile and 5-7 cm thick. Watering should be done only with warm water.
Cut off any old leaves to improve ventilation. Thin the plantings, removing unproductive lateral processes, you can leave three leaves on them. If there are signs of illness, spray once a week with Sporobacterin, Fitosporin, Gamair or urea solution (10 l + 2 tbsp / l).
Conduct nutrient irrigation with Epin, Humate or Immunocytophyte. Avoid condensation and high humidity and ventilate at all times in any weather. If yellowness has gone through the leaves and they dry up, it is useless to reanimate and feed.
How to store harvested vegetables
Onion
Do not cut the leaves of the onion close to the neck, leave a leaf length of 4-5 cm. After harvesting, be sure to dry it for a couple of weeks in the attic or in a dry room. It is best to store onions in nets, hanging in a heated apartment.
Beet
Digging up the fruits, many gardeners unscrew the leaves - this is wrong. To keep the beets, cut off the leaves with a knife, leaving a centimeter "stump". Do not wash and leave to ventilate for a day. A small crop will lie well in polyethylene with holes in the refrigerator or in a cellar in a box.
Carro
You need to harvest carrots in a timely manner. In Central Russia, the dates of final ripening are at the end of September. An exception is made in rainy weather, when, due to the increased moisture in the ground, the fruits begin to crack - harvesting is carried out earlier.
Digging takes place with the simultaneous removal of the tops, otherwise the root crop will quickly wither. Do not pull the tops off with your hands. Experts recommend cutting to zero. If the fruits are raw, with adhered soil, wash them and then be sure to dry them for a couple of days under a canopy.
Carrots are best stored in boxes of sand in the cellar or in plastic bags with holes in the refrigerator. Optimum temperature + 1 … + 3.
Garlic
Do not put the heads in the refrigerator, there it will start to sprout and rot. Garlic must be stored in a dry place, it will lie in flour until the next harvest. Take a shoebox, pour a little flour on the bottom and lay the heads in layers, sprinkling them with flour. This is the proven and best way.
