Any gardener or summer resident should have the talent for correctly allocating time and labor for growing a variety of crops. There is always a lot of work in the garden, as a result of which you can carry out several procedures in the autumn season in order to unload yourself in the spring. One of the important tasks is sub-winter sowing
What's this?
Podzimny crops are characterized by autumn plantings, which feel comfortable in the cold season, persisting until the spring. In this case, it is necessary to sow seeds in the beds at a temperature of about zero degrees. Soil temperature readings at this time should be two to four degrees Celsius. This is podzimny crops. Also, agricultural technology depends on the specific climatic conditions of the region. In different regions of our country, similar temperature indicators are observed at different times. Most often it is October or November.
Benefits of winter crops
- In fact, sowing different crops for the winter can bring a lot of benefits and benefits for the summer resident. First of all, it lies in the fact that it will be possible to get the crop two or three weeks earlier than if sown in the spring season.
- The second positive side is the formation of the sprouts most resistant to frost and disease.
- The third advantage is time savings during manipulations carried out in the spring. Also, more crops can be obtained from the same planting area by re-growing the crop.
What exactly can be sown for wintering?
Many crops can be planted during the fall season for the winter. Among them are radishes, spinach, dill, carrots, sorrel and many other vegetables. Gardeners especially often plant onion sets and garlic for the winter. If a gardener grows medicinal herbs, then you should pay attention to the autumn sowing of valerian, chamomile and sage.
The process of sowing seeds in the autumn season
If the planting procedure is carried out correctly in the autumn period of the year, the results can be excellent. Preparation for such crops should be carried out in late September and early October. In relation to preparatory manipulations, soil digging, fertilization and the formation of beds are performed. You also need to pick up seeds.
Places for such crops should be sunny and bright. It is important that strong gusts of wind and stagnation of spring moisture are not present here. It is advisable to plant autumn crops in higher areas.
Carefully and carefully you should select planting material. The cultivars must be resistant to cold weather and short daylight hours. Ripening dates should be early. For winter crops, organic and mineral fertilizing components are required. However, they should be oriented towards the crops being sown. It is necessary to sow seeds at a time when the temperature regime is more or less stable. The optimum air temperature is zero degrees. That is, we can say that it is best to plant podzimny crops during the period of the onset of the first frost in the morning. But you should not rush either, because in the event of freezing and subsequent thawing of the soil, the seeds may not germinate, and then die.
You can also plant winter crops in light frosts. But in such a situation, you need to sprinkle them not with soil taken from the beds, but with loose soil prepared specially for these purposes. Most often it is made from the same amount of sand, rotted compost and ordinary garden soil. The seeds need to be planted a little more than in the spring seasons. It is necessary to close the planting material half a centimeter deeper than with ordinary sowing. It must be remembered that watering such plantings is not recommended. However, it is worth mulching.
Summer residents especially often plant winter garlic. With the traditional planting method, you need to deepen the seed by three to five centimeters. The best time for the procedure will be the end of September. In the southern and western parts, winter garlic is planted at the end of November. Sometimes the planting material is deepened ten to fifteen centimeters into the soil. In this case, you can postpone the process to mid-August. As a rule, this method is suitable for the northern regions of the country.
