August is an intermediate month for medicinal herbs such as immortelle, valerian, elecampane, cinquefoil erecta, dandelion, etc.

Hello, my dear readers!
For those of you who adhere to the recommendations of the lunar sowing calendar and plan your work at the dacha in accordance with the phases of the Moon, its location in various signs of the Zodiac and other factors of its influence on plants, I suggest that you first familiarize yourself with. Recommendations of the lunar sowing calendar for each day, features of the influence of the Moon on plants for each date can be found in the right column of our blog.
August is the end of summer. Decreasing average daily temperature air, the days are becoming much shorter, the nights are already cool - this is how you can briefly characterize the features of the last summer month. I am writing these lines with slight sadness and sadness, because unnoticed in dacha worries The first two summer months flew by and bustle. And you always don’t want to part with the long-awaited and so desired summer.
But from the lyrics let’s move on to the prose of our dacha problems and concerns in August, which by no means closes the dacha season, but marks a new qualitative step in the development of everything flora on our backyard. In August, we begin to receive significant returns in the form of rich harvests from vegetable and fruit crops, which needs to be collected in a timely manner, stored, and planned.
It is only difficult for an uninitiated person to understand from the outside, what else can you do in the garden in August? And we, summer residents, know for sure that there is no less business at this time than in the spring months. Especially if we take into account such an important factor that the last month of summer is quite treacherous: in many regions it is characterized by sharp changes in day and night temperatures, which is not good for plants. This type of weather contributes to a significant slowdown in the development of heat-loving crops, a decrease in their fruiting, the emergence of plant diseases and the massive development of pests.
In August, in addition to the current planned plant care work, you need to have time to harvest the crop in a timely manner, take care of its safety, and prepare vegetables and fruits for future use. winter table, provide reliable protection plants from diseases and pests, begin preparing the site for the new season. Immediately after the end of the harvest, all plant debris must be destroyed in each bed (not thrown away, but burned). We must always remember that cleanliness is the key to the health of our “plant pets”.
In this article, I do not set myself the goal of listing the entire range of work on a personal plot (dacha), but I only want to focus on the main activities that need to be completed in August.
They're coming optimal timing harvesting potatoes, mass fruiting, squash, they are beginning to delight with their fruits, legumes(I'm just talking about the most common ones vegetable crops ah), for now we are selectively collecting most of the root crops.
Require our average and late dates ripening, perennial vegetable and root crops, late conveyor crops of deciduous and spice crops(regular watering, fertilizing, hilling, protection from pests).
At the beginning of the month, we find time to select a site (a well-lit and warmed place in compliance with crop rotation requirements) and prepare the soil for winter garlic - we dig it, apply organic and mineral fertilizers, and lime if necessary.
Taking care of increasing soil fertility, we sow green manure plants in the freed up areas: phacelia, white mustard, oilseed radish, lupine and some others.
In August, it is not too late to sow early-ripening crops (including), which will have time to produce their harvest before the onset of cold weather. Preparing the ground for autumn and winter crops garden crops.
Vegetable crops that ripen only in the fall constantly require care: watering, loosening, weeding, fertilizing, pest control and disease prevention.
So that in a timely manner and at the most favorable days To carry out work in the garden and in the garden and ensure the full development of plants, it is worth planning it carefully and taking into account the recommendations lunar sowing calendar for August 2017 compiled by our popular astrologer Tatiana Borsch.

August will come and establish its own rules.
The gardener's main task in August is to stop the growth of the current year's shoots in length. The formation of the apical bud and ripening of the shoots will better prepare the plant for winter. To stop the growth processes of shoots, the following measures are carried out: remove mulch from trunk circle, simple potassium and phosphate fertilizers, pinch the tops of young growing shoots and reduce watering. Don't deposit nitrogen fertilizers, as this may cause a second wave of shoot growth.
Upon completion of the raspberry harvest, fruit-bearing and damaged branches are cut out. Young shoots that have grown over the summer should be shortened and the growth tips cut off - this will give their wood the opportunity to ripen and prepare for the upcoming cold weather.
Vegetables also need our care in August - loosening and fertilizing. Potato tops should be mowed 2 weeks before you plan to start “digging potatoes” - the tubers will ripen better.
August is the time for abundant fruiting of tomatoes and peppers. At this time, the tops of the tomatoes need to be removed, leaving a couple of leaves above the top brush. This will speed up the ripening of the set fruits.
When caring for flowers in August, the first priority is rejuvenating division and replanting of perennials. Getting ready to plant bulbous flowers. Beds and ridges are made for them in advance. On clay soils add sand and compost for digging. If necessary, lime the soil.
Folk signs about the weather in August:
The August night is long, the water is cold...
August is skipping towards autumn.
In August, winter begins to fight with summer.
Based on one interesting folk sign, together with you we will try to compose one, one of the main tasks of which is to help plan the work of the upcoming 2018 gardening season.
