Work at the cottage in September. Autumn work in the garden

Graceful perfection of radiant white flowers on tall pedicels and huge shiny dark leaves of eucharis give it the appearance of a classic star. In room culture, this is one of the most famous bulbs. Few plants cause so much controversy. For some, eucharis bloom and delight completely effortlessly, for others long years do not produce more than two leaves and appear stunted. Amazon lily is very difficult to classify as unpretentious plants.

Kefir Pizza Pancakes are delicious pancakes with mushrooms, olives and mortadella that are easy to make in less than half an hour. There is not always time to cook yeast dough and turn on the oven, and sometimes you want to eat a slice of pizza without leaving your home. In order not to go to the nearest pizzeria, wise housewives came up with this recipe. Fritters like pizza - great idea for a quick dinner or breakfast. As a filling we use sausage, cheese, olives, tomatoes, mushrooms.

We grow many vegetable and flower crops in seedlings, which allows us to get an earlier harvest. But create ideal conditions very difficult: lack of sunlight for plants, dry air, drafts, untimely watering, soil and seeds may initially contain pathogenic microorganisms. These and other reasons often lead to depletion, and sometimes to the death of young seedlings, because it is most sensitive to adverse factors.

Thanks to the efforts of breeders, the assortment of coniferous perennials has recently been replenished with a number of unusual varieties with yellow needles. It seems that the most original ideas, which landscape designers have not yet been able to bring to life, were just waiting in the wings. And from all this variety of yellow-coniferous plants, you can always choose species and varieties that the best way suitable for the site. We will talk about the most interesting of them in the article.

Chocolate truffles with whiskey - homemade dark chocolate truffles. In my opinion, this is one of the simplest and most delicious homemade desserts for adults, unfortunately, the younger generation can only lick their lips on the sidelines, these sweets are not for kids. Truffles are made with different fillers, stuffed with nuts, candied fruits or dried fruits. Roll in biscuit, sand or nut crumbs. You can make a whole box of assorted homemade sweets based on this recipe!

There is still snow outside the windows, but for vegetable growers the main issue is buying seeds. Today on the market the widest range, both seeds and companies producing them. How not to make a mistake in the correct choice? We have selected high-yielding cucumber hybrids, all five hybrids can be found in the Agrosuccess seed line. High quality seeds of this brand are provided by well-known world companies and leading Russian breeders. High level quality is confirmed by valid certificates.

Onions are a vegetable grown all over the world today, from the tropics to northern latitudes. In the plant community, it is distinguished by a significant diversity of species (500-600), but the most common is the bulb onion. It can be grown in several ways. Usually - in a 2-3 year old crop through the production of onion sets or a sample of large bulbs. Or as an annual crop - from seeds (nigella). In this article, we will talk about the seedling method of growing onions from seeds.

The calendar spring does not coincide with the garden spring, but it is March that is considered the official start of active work. Almost all the efforts of gardeners this month are focused on growing seedlings. Along with the increase in daylight hours, it is time to sow the best and original varieties vegetables, berry crops and various ornamental plants. Almost all garden flowers that will decorate balconies are sown in March. But do not forget about gardening.

Luxurious tunbergia, which in Europe are called " black-eyed Susanna"- one of the brightest annual garden vines. These tropical plants are so good in vertical gardening that the possibility of growing different types of tunbergia in greenhouses and rooms is often forgotten. The room star was one plant, the most spectacular of shrub species- Thunbergia upright. Large and elegant funnel-shaped flowers and whole leaves give it a special nobility.

March Madness - this is how the first is perceived calendar month spring, those who grow seedlings of their favorite vegetables themselves. In March, they sow their favorite tomatoes and peppers, carry out the first crops in the greenhouse and even sow vegetables in the beds. Growing seedlings require not only timely diving, but also considerable care. But only her efforts are not limited. It is worth continuing to sow in greenhouses and on window sills, because fresh herbs from the beds will appear not so soon.

While the buds have not yet woken up on the plants, or at the very beginning of growth, seedlings and delenki adapt much better. Although the main attention in March is still riveted to completely different plants - seasonal ones. Growing your own seedlings allows you to save money, find new varieties and ensure plant health. The lunar calendar in March for ornamental crops recommends choosing days more carefully, because unfavorable periods cover almost half a month.

Stuffed boneless chicken in the oven - juicy and tender, stuffed with fried mushrooms and vegetables. Your guests do not have to get their hands dirty, the dish is eaten with a knife and fork - there are no bones inside! You'll have to fiddle around a bit initial stage but experience will come with time. Don't throw away chicken bones! We send the bones to the pan, add spices, roots, pour water and cook the broth. Chicken broth is always useful on the farm - to cook sauce or soup.

In the month of March, most of the flowering annuals are sown, which need seedling method cultivation. Usually, these flowers take no more than 80-90 days from germination to flowering. In this article, I would like to focus on interesting annuals, which are a little less popular than ageless petunias, marigolds or zinnias, but they have no less advantages. And they are also worth trying to plant for flowering next season.

Petunia - unpretentious plant from bright colors. Comes from the Solanaceae family. The name is derived from the Brazilian word "petun" - tobacco, since petunias and tobacco are related species. It has been used as an ornamental plant since the 18th century. Petunias feel good next to begonias, marigolds, nasturtiums. Looks spectacular in flower beds, and in hanging pots. Petunia is popular because of its unpretentiousness, and even an inexperienced gardener can grow it.

Armed with a rake and garden vacuum cleaners, proceed to restore order in your summer cottage.

First you need to weed out all the weeds., collect fallen leaves, dry stems of plants. Particular attention should be paid to the timely harvesting of fallen fruits: they often hide the strongest evil - numerous pests that will eventually go into the soil in order to give rise to a new population in the spring.

Important! All litter from fruit trees, leaves and diseased branches must be disposed of.

September is the time to prune faded perennials.: delphinium, bluebells, daylilies, irises, phlox, dicentro, astrantia. But peonies, astilbes and many host varieties retain decorative look for quite a long time, and pruning of these plants is carried out as it is lost, and not according to a clear schedule.

Do not try to quickly "bare" the garden: let it delight you with a riot of colors in the last days before the onset of dank autumn rains. So, for example, tenacious, thyme, zelenchuk, iberis, sapling, carnation, hellebore, geyher, tiarels, miscanthus, ground cover sedums, cereals, bergenia, goryanka, stakhis (chistets), pachysandra do not need pruning.

Do not cut and Monarda with echinocea. Their spectacular convex centers will bring in autumn garden special charm, and the racemose decorative inflorescences of goldenrod will give flower arrangement refinement. Colchicums (colchicums) that suddenly emerged from the ground will please with soft pink and white flowers.

Until late autumn decorate the garden and ground perennial chrysanthemums, as well as Japanese anemone, black cohosh, meadowsweet (philipendula), gelenium, loosestrife loosestrife, loosestrife cletra, physalis, sedum prominent, New England and New Belgian asters, eryngium, mordovnik, annual dried flowers, amaranth, scabiosa.

If the decorative garden still retains its attractiveness in autumn, then the garden goes on a well-deserved rest.

At the beginning of the month dig up potatoes, carrots, beets; in the second half of September - cabbage, pumpkin, zucchini. Fans of natural farming can lay compost before winter. Those who have done this before feed tired plants with a nutritious product - or, as they say, "black gold" - from the composter.

IN autumn period should not be forgotten and the application of fertilizers. You should immediately abandon nitrogen, as they stimulate growth. Any organic matter is suitable for autumn: manure, humus, peat. Potassium will be to the taste of the lawn, and complex fertilizers will appreciate fruit and berry crops.

The preparation of trees for the winter period deserves special attention.

Last time this season can be cut hedge giving it the desired shape. Cut in the orchard repair raspberries(for ordinary varieties, cut out only fruit-bearing trunks, and shorten young ones to a lignified part).

To root system plants breathed "full breasts", you should loosen the soil in trunk circles trees. But the cultivation of the land under the bushes must be approached individually: for example, the soil under the currant can be dug deep, and the raspberry prefers delicate surface treatment.

Whitewashing tree trunks- another important event that completes the complex of work on the preparation orchard for winter.

A common misconception that you need to whitewash the trees in the spring. However, it is trees bleached from autumn that are less susceptible to frost in January-March. And so that the autumn rains do not wash away the whitewash, red clay and casein or bone glue must be added to the lime mortar.

If next season you want to change the look of the garden, then in September is the time for new plantings. Planted until the middle of the month coniferous trees and shrubs, as well as those species of deciduous trees that do not change their color during the year. From fruit plants in September, you can plant currants, gooseberries, blackberries and honeysuckle.

A separate item of autumn work in the garden is preparing the lawn for winter. A pond will also bring a lot of trouble.

The lawn needs to be mowed and "combed" fan rakes. Then aerate, a newfangled concept that literally means “piercing the soil of the lawn to improve its drainage.” The main tool for aeration is a pitchfork, but on large areas it is advisable to use a special technique that effectively copes with this task.

Decorative ponds, the size of which in diameter reaches no more than 20 m, and the depth does not exceed 1 m, must be drained. Do not forget to first turn off and clean all equipment (lighting, pumps, filters and pipelines) in a warm room, as well as place plants in separate containers and transfer them to winter storage in the basement.

reservoir reservoir it is necessary to clean the debris and thoroughly wash the walls, and then refill with water by two-thirds. Large ponds do not need to be drained, but they do need cleaning.

It will be more difficult for owners of a stocked reservoir. It is better to leave the inhabitants of a large-scale pond for the winter in their usual surroundings. Residents of miniature reservoirs can pass the frosty days at home - in aquariums and even in spacious containers installed in the basement.

water inhabitants should be surrounded by attention and care: maintain the usual water temperature for them (not higher than +15 degrees), use a pump to ensure a constant supply of oxygen. Do not overdo it with food - in the winter season, fish from open water should rest.

Domestic green pets also need to be prepared for winter.

Those of them who spent the summer on the balcony or terrace, it's time to return to a warm room, because large differences in day and night temperatures greatly weaken the immune system of indoor flowers (which, of course, will affect their development in winter period). Only Schlumbergers and Ripsalidopsis benefit from such temperature fluctuations and contribute to them. abundant flowering in December.

It seems that only quite recently buds swelled on trees and shrubs, ovaries formed on vegetable plants - and now the beginning of autumn. Time flies unnoticed, and all work in the garden and in the garden in September must be done quickly in order to be in time before the onset of the first frost, because the climate is so unstable that often the first frosts (and quite strong ones) come unexpectedly.

By planting bulbs in the garden and in the garden in September, you will create a blooming spring of next year. In terms of the intensity of worries, this month is quite comparable to May. So much needs to be done before the arrival of a real, angry autumn!

What should be done in the garden and in the garden in September to prepare for the end of the summer season?

What should a gardener do in September

With might and main there is a collection of apples and pears, their processing and storage. If apples of summer varieties are not actually stored, then many autumn varieties quite “survive” until the New Year, first of all, Antonovka, which can be called the number one apple in Central Russian gardens. The shelf life and quality of fruits depend mainly on three parameters - the time of collection (for each variety - its own period), the quality of collection (how carefully and without damage it was done, how it was laid) and, finally, on storage conditions. Shaking the trees, as some do, means saying goodbye to the harvest if the fruits are not immediately processed.

What else the gardener needs to do in September is to sow the lawn, because the grass in warm weather can still grow before the cold. In September, they mow no more than one or two times.

At the end of September, the time for the sale of seedlings begins. Autumn - best time for their acquisition and planting. In the spring, what remains is what has not been realized, winter storage, even in nursery conditions, does not benefit them, and the price is lower in autumn. Closed-root seedlings (ZKS) are sold all year round and can be planted at any time, of course, provided that it is really a seedling grown in a container, and not squeezed into it on the eve of the sale. If you plan to plant, prepare pits filled with fertilizers from the beginning of September so that the soil has time to settle, or fill mounds if they lie close to the site ground water. Open-rooted seedlings should be cleared of leaves immediately, although this should already be done in the nursery after being dug up. The petioles of the leaves are left so as not to damage the buds, and the leaf blades are removed. The branches of two- and three-year-olds are carefully tied. The roots should be dipped in a mash of clay and mullein, then they will not dry out, and wrapped in wet burlap or film. If you are transporting seedlings not protected in this way, their roots have time to dry out and you cannot hope for a good survival rate. In case of drying, place the roots in a container of water for a day or two before planting.

When buying seedlings, anyway, fruit trees or berry bushes, most often they are guided only by "taste" preferences. It is useful, however, to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the desired variety before buying. After all, for example, your favorite gooseberry Date actually suffers from powdery mildew every year, and the Melba apple tree will have to be treated for scab several times a season. Susceptibility to damage by certain pests and diseases must be indicated in the description of the variety, as well as their resistance, and these data should not be neglected.

Tendency to be affected by coccomycosis, currant bud mite, strawberry mite, scab, gray rot, powdery mildew, rust - an incomplete list of undesirable qualities that can be avoided by choosing the right varieties. If you do not intend to strictly comply with all the requirements of agricultural technology and plant protection, it is worth purchasing, if not the most desirable, but resistant to pests and diseases, varieties with which you are guaranteed to have a good harvest. Plum in our strip is a problem crop. Maybe try cherry plum? Its new varieties are hardy, bear fruit annually and abundantly.

Fulfilling garden work in September, inspect the roots before planting. Cut off broken, uneven ends, then wound tissue (callus) will form faster. You can not plant seedlings of a culture that has grown before in the same place. The soil is already tired, exhausted, the plant has endured everything necessary elements nutrition, it accumulated substances that prevent the growth of a young tree of the same culture. It is necessary to alternate pome and stone fruits, for example, instead of an apple tree, plant a cherry, and vice versa. After planting, a strong seedling should be pruned, especially if there are many branches extending at an acute angle. Pity is inappropriate here, an improperly formed tree will inevitably break when loaded with fruits. In the weak, it is better to postpone pruning until spring. In many cases, pruning can be replaced by pulling a specific branch to the desired angle.

In autumn, only apple trees are planted in the Non-Black Earth Region. Landing should be carried out at a soil temperature of at least +5 ° C. Pears, cherries, plums, acquired in the fall, it is better to dig in for the winter, and plant in the spring.

When planting, do not bury the root collar and the grafting site. If the location of the root neck is not visible, wipe the area of ​​​​the stem above the origin of the roots with a damp cloth. The change of the greenish color of the stem bark to brown will show the root collar. The grafting site, as a rule, is located above the root neck and has a thickening. In no case should it be covered with earth. Don't forget to place a stake on the south side of the tree and tie a stem to it. Often this is neglected, and completely in vain. A properly installed, deeply driven stake will keep the tree from tilting, leave it at a given height relative to the soil level, and protect it from sunburn in the spring. You can not set the stake close to the tree - it should not touch the trunk. Use a strong but soft rope for the garter so as not to injure the bark. It is tied with a “figure of eight”, subsequently it is regularly viewed and, with strong tension, the garter is loosened.

If you have time, you can do pruning ornamental shrubs - wild rose, hawthorn, viburnum.

Work in the country in September: flower care

Planting of lilies, transplantation of astilbes, delphiniums, primroses and other perennials is nearing completion, blooming in spring and in summer, as well as phloxes, they take root well after flowering. The grown seedlings of perennials and biennials are determined for a permanent place. Before the onset of severe frosts, you need to spud dahlias. They are still in bloom, as are roses, asters, chrysanthemums.

Girlish grapes can be cut into cuttings and planted in the right places - near fences, outbuildings, or even against the wall of the house. He will definitely settle down. Many try to plant long lashes with part of the roots. You should not do this, they are likely to dry out, but the cuttings will quickly grow.

Sometimes they hesitate to plant girlish grapes because a large number falling leaves and fruits. Although in most cases, his beauty, especially the bright red autumn outfit, conquers all doubts! It is also widely believed that the buildings under it become damp and deteriorate faster. This is not true, rather, on the contrary, raindrops that fall on such a dense fur coat roll off it.

Roses for bouquets can no longer be cut, this provokes the growth of new shoots. Remove only wilted flowers. Cut off the stems of faded perennials, but if you come to the garden in winter, some of the plants, especially grasses such as miscanthus, reed grass, as well as the vine with its large caps of inflorescences, are best left - covered with frost and snow, they will be very beautiful! By the way, autumn pruning is harmful to some cereals.

The foliage is very elegant in autumn, but it is better to cut it off at the end of the month. If she's healthy, lay her on top of a bush as an easy cover, just in case.

Often flower growers discuss whether autumn pruning of perennials is generally useful when caring for flowers. Many cut off all the above-ground parts in the fall, leaving a neatly trimmed garden for the winter, saving expensive spring time.

Another important work in the country in September is digging up before frost, montbrecia, acidanters, cannes, callas, and immediately after frost, you need to dig up dahlias. By the way, you don’t have to dig out the montbrecia; in our country, it winters beautifully under its own leaves, cut and laid above the plant. You can sprinkle a little fallen leaves. Cannes are best left with the ground without shaking it off. Be careful with dahlias: when digging, do not pull strongly on the stems, they can be torn off, damaging the buds of the tubers. You can not transfer dug corms immediately to heat! They should lie down for two weeks in a fairly cold room. Then cut the stems and leaves, move to a warm place, where they are completely dried before storage.

While it is still not cold, remove excess in the ornamental pond aquatic plants, yellowing leaves of water lilies. If foliage falls into the pond, it is better to cover it for a while with a net or a frequent lattice. This will make it easier to clean it up. Only leave a hole for the frogs if the mesh is thick so they can move freely in and out of the pond.

Doing garden work in September, do not forget about watering the plants. If autumn is dry, be sure to water and spray rhododendrons, as well as evergreens (magonia, boxwood) and coniferous shrubs. Otherwise, they will not survive the winter well. The mentioned plants are especially sensitive to lack of moisture, but all the rest should not suffer from it. But this is in the case of a dry autumn, not a rainy one.

The main work of September in the flower garden is. The warm autumns of past years inspired many to late boarding almost in November. But year after year is not necessary. The bulbs should take root before frost, so we will still more or less adhere to the accepted planting dates. The first, since the end of August, are planted with small bulbs - muscari, crocuses, hazel grouse, blueberries, snowdrops, chionodoxes and others. Many, without hesitation, plant them in rows, as in garden beds. It's a matter of taste, but I like to take a handful and throw it - as soon as they lie down, I'll plant it. It will come naturally. And it is not at all necessary to have all the small-bulbous ones in the flower beds. On the lawn, under ornamental shrubs, they will be much more elegant. And when the time comes to mow the lawn, their vegetation will already be over. You can pick up wonderful combinations at the same time flowering plants, for example, blue muscari with golden forsythia. Later comes the turn of daffodils. At the end of the month - the beginning of planting tulips and then hyacinths. Some experienced growers it is recommended to plant hyacinths even later, at the end of October, but for this you need to especially warm the plantings. It is better for an ordinary amateur not to delay the deadlines. The depth of planting bulbous - as a rule, three heights of the bulb, counting from the bottom. It is useful for all bulbous to throw a handful of sand into the hole under the bottom. I do not advise planting tulips in large arrays on my site - the decorative effect does not last long, and an ugly flowerbed remains until mid-summer. It is much better to plant them in groups of 5-10 pieces, in a mixborder, among other perennial flowers. The yellowing leaves will then be securely covered, and you will be able to achieve the maximum decorative effect, selecting bulbs by color, given the neighborhood. Do not forget to put labels with the names of varieties and remember (or mark on the diagram) the approximate sizes of bulbous groups, otherwise, when there are no above-ground organs, it is easy to damage and even more so cut the bulbs hidden underground with a shovel. You can already select daffodils and tulips for early forcing, putting the largest bulbs on cooling.

With the end of the season and the onset of cold weather, it's time to take away indoor flowers from the street and take them home. Many container summers can still bloom on a glazed balcony in the city, let's take them too. From petunia and its relatives - surfinia, fortunia, caliberhoa, if you have any, I advise you to prepare cuttings, since their seeds do not set and only vegetative propagation is possible.

Be sure to look at all plants for diseases and pests, and, if necessary, treat with appropriate preparations. Set them up at home warm shower. The transition of potted flowers from outdoors to indoor conditions with dry air and less light is often painful for them.

Therefore, everything possible must be done so that the flowers suffer less. Create some kind of barrier for the dry air rising from the batteries to the plants on the windowsills, for example, by placing a strip of plywood or plastic of a suitable size on them. On the window sill itself, if it is concrete, it is also a good idea to put something before putting flower pots, because in winter it will be cold, it is very harmful to the roots.

gardening work in september

In the garden in September, the harvest is coming to an end, there is not much left for October. But on fine days of Indian summer we try to do as much as possible.

Root crops are harvested in dry weather, slightly drying and cutting the tops “on the shoulders”. However, there is evidence that it grows less if you leave a stump of about a centimeter. Some of the root crops can not be dug up until spring, later covered from mice with spruce branches or fiberglass. In the spring they will be good for the table, besides, you can get your own seeds. This is especially true for parsley, parsnips and carrots, the germination of purchased seeds of which is unpredictable.

Parsley is still green in the garden. Replenish existing stocks - dry it or freeze it. The tops of carrots, beets, beans, beans (without signs of disease) can be dug up with soil, it will serve green manure. Usually, gardeners do not close the “tops” deep - oxygen is needed for decomposition, and the coarser and thicker the tops, the finer they close it.

Before frosts, it is necessary to remove pumpkins, they do not tolerate frosts. Readiness is determined by the drying of the stem. Not fully ripened fruits will not be stored, so they are used first, and ripe pumpkins, with a hard bark, can be stored until the next harvest.

Garden work in September also includes harvesting spring garlic, and then, at the end of September, planting winter garlic. Use medium-sized cloves, carefully separating them without damaging the bottom area. Hold for half an hour in a pink solution of potassium permanganate. Seal the garlic shallowly so that the top of the clove is on the surface, then the roots will pull it deeper. But such a planting depth is due to heavy clay soil, on lighter soils and, especially, sandy garlic should be planted deeper.

Gardeners determine the time for harvesting potatoes by moving the peel with a fingernail. She must not leave. It is also impossible to be late with digging - late blight from the tops goes to the tubers. Usually, if potatoes are planted on six-hundred plots, then in a small area. When digging, it is easy to leave potatoes from each bush separately. Egg-sized tubers the best bushes take it for seeds. Often whole potatoes are harvested and then sorted by size, choosing seed from small ones. It is not right. You won't get a good harvest that way. The tops must be collected and burned, its ash is very rich in trace elements.

In garden beds, rarely anyone else has tomatoes left in September. However, if you regularly treated them for late blight and the autumn is warm, they may well hang until the end of the month, they will be tastier. Unripe fruits need to be harvested “with a bush”, pulling out the plants, drying them slightly on the street, and then, tying them up with roots, I hang them in the house. Stored for a long time, ripen completely. If spots from phytophthora damage appear on fruits in open ground or in a greenhouse, you will have to remove all fruits, including green ones, warm them for a minute and a half in water at a temperature of 60 ° C, quickly pour over with cold water and dry. This way you will save most of the crop. Damaged ones can be put on caviar, in salting. As with diseased apples, never discard late blight-affected tops and tomato fruits in compost.

Crates of harvested tomatoes are usually kept at home. If there are both green and ripe fruits, then their ripening will depend on whether they are kept together or separately. If stored together, the greens will ripen faster, as the reds release ethylene, which speeds up ripening. If you need to extend the storage and ripening - the greens are kept separately, they will blush for a long time.

When working in the garden in September, do not forget to clean the greenhouse after cleaning from plant residues. The earth is dug up with ash and superphosphate. To save spring time, while it is still warm, it makes sense to wash the glass of the greenhouse, they have become contaminated from spraying during the season, covered with a green coating of algae. It is also necessary to wash and dry the film from greenhouses and greenhouses. You can still have time to sow mustard on the "tired" beds, this will perfectly help the earth restore fertility.

In autumn, as a rule, land owners are overwhelmed by the desire to acquire land. The harvest is harvested, the beds are freed, somehow empty. Sow a new lawn, make a hill, fill up the beds.

Let's think about whether the land that we are offered is really needed, and if so, what kind. It's no secret that the word "land" means anything - and indeed earth (more often the top layer of soil removed during construction), and various peat, and sapropel, and spent pounds from greenhouses, and an incomprehensible mixture of absolutely unknown origin. Actively proposed "chernozem" in our Non-Chernozem region simply cannot exist. Most often they sell peat. It can be dark (really black), if it is low-lying, then it is almost decomposed, non-acidic peat, it is very good for all crops, of course, with the condition of making additional elements nutrition. There are practically no weed seeds in it. If you mix it with sand, you get an excellent subsphate. Any (both lowland and highland) peat is of organic origin, but there is little nitrogen and phosphorus in it, moreover, these elements are found in it in hardly digestible forms, and potassium is practically absent. Little in peat and copper. Peat will begin to “work” only after cultivation. Red, undecomposed, powdery high-moor peat has a very acidic reaction, in this form it will be “appreciated” only by rhododendrons, heather and sorrel. It needs to be limed, and even better - composted, alternating layers with manure. Then, in a year or two, it will be an excellent soil. Peat is usually sold from the same developments in the area, so the risk of acquiring it is minimal, although you will have to put your hands on it. If the soils are heavy, it will improve their structure. Peat is also useful as mulch.

It happens that they also offer sapropel, or bottom silt. This is an excellent fertile soil for a garden and a greenhouse, if taken from an environmentally friendly place. Having bought an unknown soil, you will get a lot of problems.

Separately, it must be said about manure. Fresh manure is applied under single vegetables. Usually it is taken for autumn digging of the garden and those parts of the garden where potatoes, cabbage, pumpkin will be grown. If you have a garden under turfing, and there are only a few beds, then the manure must be composted with peat, sawdust, earth, sod. If this is not possible, carefully cover the manure with a film so that nitrogen does not wash out of it during the winter. It is advisable to lay the film, and not dump it directly on the ground. The manure in the heap will eventually overheat and become universal material for a garden and a kitchen garden. It is placed both in planting pits and in beds, used as mulch.

When buying land or manure and leaving it until spring, take care that the heap on the street does not block the drainage ditches. Otherwise, with the melting of snow, you will create great inconvenience for yourself and your neighbors, not to mention the fact that the nutrients for which you purchased all this will also leave with the melt water.

The connection between roots and leaves is carried out by the stem. The places where leaves are attached to the stem are called nodes, and the distances between nodes are called internodes. If one leaf departs from the node - this is the next arrangement of leaves, two, opposite each other - an opposite arrangement, and if there are three leaves or more, then this arrangement is called whorled. It is desirable to know these concepts; they are often used to characterize a plant. If the stem is formed in spring and dies off in autumn, the plant is called herbaceous. There are, however, evergreens with overwintering elevated stem(badan, periwinkle, styloid phlox). herbaceous plants may be annual, biennial or perennial.

What needs to be done in the garden, in flower beds and in the garden in September.

The list of works in the country in September

September is the month when garden plots the season ends, they dig up the rabatki and throw them into compost heap unnecessary layering of perennials. Instead, layering can be transplanted into containers and grow excellent potted specimens for the winter season, including for window sills and balconies. For example, plants such as astilbe, bluebell, shrub chrysanthemum, hydrangea, etc. grow well in pots. It is important to choose such layers that have several strong roots and healthy above-ground shoots. In order to plant plants in pots, you need to prepare a mixture of 1/3 compost, sand and garden soil. ready mix should be disinfected in the oven for about 1.5 hours at a temperature of 150 °C.

In the first half of September, small-bulbous plants are usually planted, such as muscari, kandyk, crocuses, snowdrop, etc., and in the second half of the month - tulips. They can be planted in those places where annual flowers and vegetables with a short development period grew (onions are an exception). The key to successful onion growth in spring is the right and timely landing and healthy bulbs. Bulbs must be planted at a depth of 2 times their height, and at a distance of at least two of their diameters. Small bulbs, on the contrary, are best planted closer to each other. You should pay attention to the ground - if it is dry, then after planting it must be watered.

Until the middle of the month, you need to dig, divide and transplant perennials that bloom in spring, loosen the ground around the plants, and weed the weeds.

Already at the end of September, such perennials as phlox, gladiolus, coreopsis, rudbeckia finish their flowering. They are cut to the ground, dried dead leaves are removed. Watering is stopped, only top dressing, weeding and loosening continue.

In the first decade of September, clematis can be planted in a place prepared in advance for them.

Works on the lunar calendar for September

Waxing Crescent. You can engage in planting most crops, pruning trees and berry bushes, grafting, fertilizing, pest control, loosening the soil, preserving fruits and vegetables. Do not propagate plants with roots, plant trees and collect herbs.

Waning moon. Don't have to do a transplant. It's time to start digging up bulbs of daffodils and tulips, as well as loosening, cultivating, hilling, and mulching trees.

The list of works in the garden and in the garden for September

Watering of trees is stopped, watering is carried out only on young or infertile trees, but they also need to be watered only during drought. You can prune trees that have been harvested. Branches that have fallen to the ground, dried up or diseased are cut out on the ring. Slices must be treated with a special garden pitch, and forks with copper sulphate.

September is the month of harvesting late varieties of potatoes (harvesting is done immediately, as the lower leaves of the plant turn yellow), carrots, parsley and celery, leeks and tomatoes. Late varieties of cucumbers, zucchini, dill, leafy parsley when it gets cold, they cover it with a film, and the root crops are removed in the shade, otherwise they will wither.

It is better to harvest potatoes and vegetables in dry weather at a temperature of about +8 ° C, this especially applies to potatoes, since when harvesting them at low temperatures, there is a risk of mechanical damage to the tubers. If damage 0 nevertheless appears, then the potatoes must be left in a dry, ventilated room for 1.5 weeks at a relative humidity of 90% and a temperature of 10 ° C, under such conditions the tubers will ripen faster and the damage will heal. Digging up potatoes, you should think about planting material for the next year. First, it is necessary to select seed tubers weighing about 80 g from healthy and productive bushes. Then the selected tubers must be allowed to dry, then picked again and put into boxes. Place the remaining potatoes in bags or simply cover with burlap so that the tubers do not turn green. Green potatoes should not be eaten because they contain solanine, a poisonous substance. Seed tubers, on the contrary, should be held in the light until green, so they are better preserved. Labels must be placed in a box with seed tubers so as not to confuse these tubers with others.

Harvesting of tomatoes is carried out at a time when the night temperature has not dropped below 5 degrees. The fruits are sorted out, unripe tomatoes are placed on window sills or shelves in boxes, while paying attention to the fact that the tomatoes in the boxes lie no more than 2 rows. The temperature in the room should be 20-25 °C. Reddened ripened fruits are regularly picked. If you put red tomatoes in a box with green tomatoes, the green fruits will ripen faster.

Tomatoes remain fresh for a month, and in order to keep the freshness of tomatoes for 2 months, it is necessary to pour small wood shavings into the bottom of the box between the fruits with a layer of about 1-1.5 cm and store them at a temperature of 12 ° C. You can keep the freshness of tomatoes until the New Year if you dig up healthy bushes with fruit that have set and hang them upside down in the basement.

You can not rush to harvest carrots if the weather is dry and the carrots do not crack. In this case, the yield will increase, and the carrots will lie better. In the cellar, it is desirable to store carrots in sphagnum moss.

Sometimes on white and red cabbage cracks appear, this is due to sudden changes in moisture and temperature. To prevent this, large and dense heads of cabbage should be torn at the roots. in the following way: take the socket of the head of cabbage from the bottom at the root with both hands and turn it several times in one direction. Moisture from the soil will cease to flow to such a head of cabbage and the head of cabbage will not crack.

Bush care in September

Currant cuttings are harvested from healthy, strong 2-3-year-old branches, then they are tied up and labeled with names are attached. Cuttings are planted in loose, moist and organic-rich soil at an angle of 45 °, leaving 1-2 buds on the surface. Water the cuttings immediately after planting. It is necessary to take into account the fact that currants and gooseberries should be planted in one row, while each seedling is allocated an area of ​​1.5 x 0.8 m. .

Berry plants are photophilous, so they are planted in specially designated areas with good illumination. Berry plants are not recommended to be planted between trees, as they will bear fruit poorly, in addition, berry and woody plants will oppress each other. Exist berry plants that suffer greatly in dry weather, such as strawberries and raspberries. This is due to the fact that they have a shallow root system, so they should be planted near a water source or watered abundantly.

In September, strawberries form generative buds, this process proceeds successfully only if there is enough moisture in the soil and nutrients. Therefore, when irrigating strawberries, you must first apply fertilizer to the soil. Mineral fertilizers mixed with compost and manure. In case of unfavorable weather conditions it is better to postpone the work with fertilizing until spring. The beds for strawberries are prepared as follows: the soil is dug to a depth of 50 cm, weed residues are removed, and the surface is leveled. Strawberry roots are placed in the holes without wrapping up and without falling asleep heart. If you need to prepare seedlings for spring, then strawberries will be well preserved in a film in the refrigerator, as well as in boxes covered with loose snow and placed in trenches. Each copy of seedlings should have roots 7-8 cm long and about 2 leaves located near the heart.

Works in the flower garden for September

In September, you should stop watering roses, they should have time to prepare for frost and reduce the growth of shoots. You should pinch the tops of young shoots, cut off all the flowers and buds, cut off the lower leaves.

In the event of a rainy autumn, a canopy of polyethylene film leaving the ends open. At the end of the month, it is necessary to spud roses with dry peat or compost with a layer about 5 cm thick.

In autumn, you should think about combing the lawn, this is done in order to remove dead grass and improve the quality of the lawn. In places where bald spots appeared, you can annoy the grass again. Before sowing, it is necessary to loosen the soil. After planting the grass, it should be well watered.

Begonias bloom until frost, their flowers look great even in rainy weather. At the end of the month, they are dug up, cutting off the stems, then dried for 10 days at a temperature of 20 ° C and shaken off the ground. The tubers must be placed in boxes and sprinkled with peat, the boxes should be placed in a cool room until April.

In September, flower buds of peonies are laid, every 3 days they are watered in a volume of 20 liters per bush. During watering, wood ash is brought under the bush, scattering it around the plant.

Asters can be transplanted during the flowering period. With the onset of frost, asters are transplanted with a piece of earth from the ground into wide pots that have high drainage layers. They are placed on the windowsill, watered abundantly, they monitor the ventilation of the room and the temperature. At moderate room temperatures, asters will continue to bloom.

Rooting of tulip bulbs occurs faster at a soil temperature of 5-7 ° C and constant watering. Early varieties of tulips should be planted under fruit trees, as they do not create strong shading during the flowering of tulips. Tulips prefer neutral or slightly alkaline soil, and if the soil is heavy and contains a lot of clay, then peat, compost, sawdust and sand are added to it.

When planting, you should pay attention to the fact that small bulbs should be planted separately from large ones. Bulbs should not be pressed when planting, this leads to the formation of compacted earth under them, and it, in turn, interferes with the rooting of the flower. It is not necessary to cover tulip bulbs for the winter. Even under the snow, sprouts appear on the bulbs.

As you know, calendula, or marigold, is valuable medicinal plant. Marigolds bloom continuously until frost, the main thing is to cut off faded inflorescences in time.

The dead aerial part of these herbaceous perennials is pruned in September. Previously, it is undesirable to cut them, because in the autumn period most of nutrients from the leaves passes into the roots. At the end of the month, all flower stalks are cut off, but the leaves near the ground are not touched. The rhizome of the bluebell is in the same place for 5 years and does not require shelter for the winter. Reproduction occurs in the spring by dividing the rhizome.

Summer is over, but summer residents still have a lot of work to do in the garden and garden in September. It's time to prepare everything for the future rich harvest, to create all the conditions for our plants to endure the winter cold well.

In the garden and in the country in September, we have something to do, because the apple harvest is in full swing. It's time to harvest late varieties of apples and pears. You can collect them when signs of the so-called removable maturity appear: they must acquire the appropriate color, easily separate from the stalk.

In general, the work of collecting pears and apples is very laborious. It is necessary to remove fruits carefully, starting from the lower branches. You can not pull them hard and twist around the stalk, because damaged fruits will not be stored for a long time.

Immediately after picking, sort the fruits, put them in cardboard boxes or wooden boxes with sawdust for storage. All carrion is recommended to be regularly buried outside the garden.

Feeding will help to restore the trees that have perfectly fulfilled their purpose and gave us an excellent harvest. Plants will have a difficult period - winter, so now they should be provided with all the necessary nutrients. We feed pears and apple trees with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers organic origin, distributing them around the perimeter of the crown. We loosen the soil, dig it up, put top dressing into it to a depth of 20 centimeters. In dry weather, fertilizer should be applied after heavy watering.

Next milestone work in the garden in September - pruning. This procedure is especially relevant for mature and old trees, because some of their branches no longer bear fruit, so they can be removed without regret to ensure the healthy development of young branches. You can stimulate growth in breadth by cutting off those branches that grow inside the crown. When carrying out sanitary pruning, all dried and diseased branches are removed, and any cracks and hollows found are repaired. It is better to do this in wet weather, when the bark is slightly soaked and it will be easy to move away. Now it's time to remove and destroy the trapping belts.

Pay attention to young seedlings. They need to pinch the tops of annual shoots. Such a simple procedure will increase the winter hardiness of the plant and speed up the process of its maturation.

The work on pruning berry bushes in the garden will allow to increase the volume of the crop next year. After that, the bushes must be tied up, fed and spud.

When the harvest is over, we begin work on pruning raspberry bushes. Weak and fruitful shoots are removed, after which the stems are tied into bundles and bent down. This work must be done right now, as in late autumn the stems will become less flexible and may crack.

We still have a lot of work left in the garden in September

When we dealt with fruit harvest, fed and cut trees and shrubs, you need to perform a number of manipulations:

• mineral fertilizers for digging the soil will be required now berry bushes gooseberries and currants. Feeding work can be omitted if the plants are not older than three years old, and during planting you carefully fertilized the soil with potassium-phosphorus compounds;
• foliar feeding of shrubs can be carried out using a solution of superphosphate and potassium salt in a ratio of 1x0.5 per bucket;
• feeding is allowed throughout the month remontant strawberries mullein diluted with water or bird droppings. Until the 15th, you can still use urea, but then we exclude it. We fertilize the grapes with manure, but keep in mind that it only needs to be applied once every three years;
• urea solution as a prevention of fungal diseases and garden pests also used for the treatment of shrubs and trees, it is recommended to add potassium chloride pre-soaked in boiling water. It is important to complete spraying work before the start of leaf fall;
• if moniliosis is found on stone fruits, infected twigs and fruits should be removed, then the soil should be dug up in tree trunks;
• we remove tinder fungi, clean the affected areas to healthy wood, carry out the treatment with copper sulphate and close up the wounds with garden pitch;
• in the country in September it is worth doing weeding, sending all plant debris to compost;
• throughout the month we are rooting berry bushes;
• in good weather you can whitewash the trunks with a special paint that the autumn rains cannot wash off. This will protect the plants from the sun in the spring. Instead of whitewashing, you can wrap the trunks with polypropylene fiber bags;
• at the beginning of autumn, absolutely all plants in the garden in the country house need high-quality watering, which will provide a powerful influx of nutrients to the roots. In no case should this work be neglected if the summer turned out to be hot and dry. It is better to water the trees with a hose along the grooves around the crown. The soil should be moistened to a depth of half a meter. Ideally, watering should be combined with fertilizer with potassium-phosphorus compounds;
• we check the strawberries planted in the country in August. If the bushes are pulled into the ground, carefully pull them back, tamp the soil with your hands. This can happen if plants are planted immediately after preparatory work on the site, when the earth is still insufficiently compacted.

Now we just have to plant young shrubs and fruit seedlings. landing pits should be ready by now. You can start planting in the country at the end of the month - right now the plant is strong enough for the coming winter.

When landing black currants, deepen the seedlings 15 centimeters at an angle. By planting it a little deeper than before, next year new shoots will appear from the ground, from which we will select the strongest ones, and cut off the rest. seedlings gooseberry planted straight. Do not forget about watering the plantations, after which it is recommended to put humus on the soil. We recommend checking with lunar calendar gardener - gardener for September, according to which you can choose optimal time for garden work.

So, we just have a lot of work to do in the garden in September. But there is also a garden, which also requires attention and care.

What to do in September in the garden

All year long, summer residents are waiting for the time when they can enjoy the fruits of their labors - a rich and tasty harvest. In the garden and in the country, the most pleasant and long-awaited moment comes - the harvest. From the middle of the month, it's time to start harvesting table root crops. If it's still warm outside, don't rush this work, the vegetables are still growing. Here are some more recommendations for this kind of work in the garden:

1. root crops should be carefully dug up with a pitchfork, and only then removed from the soil;
2. we do not break off the tops of vegetables, but carefully cut them off;
3. after harvesting, we dry the vegetables a little in the open air, only after that we put them away for storage in boxes or baskets;
4. cannot be left for winter storage frozen vegetables, because they will quickly rot and infect neighboring root crops.

When harvesting root crops in the garden, cut the tops so that a small part of it remains above the ground. At the same time, you can pick up cauliflower, which is then stored in storage for further ripening.

At the dacha, late litters of tomatoes, potatoes, celery and others are collected. vegetable crops. We cover zucchini, greens, cucumbers with a film if it suddenly gets colder.

I would like to give you one more useful advice: perform any work in the garden at the beginning of autumn only in dry and warm weather.

This point is especially important for potatoes, because digging them in cold weather, you risk injuring the tubers. If damage cannot be avoided, leave the potatoes in a dry, ventilated area at a temperature of 10 degrees and an air humidity of 90%. After a week and a half, the damage will heal. Concerning planting material for next season, its preparation should be done now. Select the seed tubers, let them dry, put them in specially designated boxes. After harvesting, plant green manure in free areas.

We collect peppers in the garden at the stage of technical maturity, eggplants - a little unripe. It is desirable to cut them together with the stalk so that the vegetables are stored longer. Wrap the fruits in paper and put them in boxes.

If you notice cracks on cabbage heads in the garden, temperature changes are to blame. You can protect the cabbage if you carefully tear its roots. To do this, take the socket with your hands directly at the root and turn. It is also recommended to cut off the lower leaves from the heads of cabbage.

After the 15th, it is worth landing winter garlic so that it can take root before frost. In greenhouses, you can still plant arugula, radish, lettuce. Until September 20, perennial varieties of onions are planted. Do not forget to water and mulch the beds with new plantings.

Now let's get down to work related to the processing of the greenhouse in the garden. Many diseases that affect plants in the country feel at ease in it. After removing plant debris, we will renew the soil. To do this, you need to take out the top layer of the earth, then shed the soil with EM preparations with live microorganisms, and spread the mulch. We disinfect the greenhouse itself with a solution of copper sulfate for wooden structures, formalin for glass buildings or kerosene for metal structures.

Works in the flower garden for September

Flower gardens with the advent of autumn also require our close attention. Here is a rough plan upcoming work in the country:

• We stop watering the roses so that their growth of shoots is reduced. We pinch young shoots, cut off the buds and lower leaves. If September turned out to be rainy, we install a film canopy over the rose bushes. Toward the end of the month we spud them with compost;
• on the twentieth, we begin work on digging up begonias in the garden. Their stems must be cut off and dried for ten days in warmth. The tubers cleaned from the ground are sent for storage in boxes with peat;
• during flowering, asters with a clod of earth can be transplanted into large pots. Put them on the windowsill and water well;
• under fruit trees we plant early varieties of tulips. Please note that small and large bulbs are planted separately;
• now gardeners have the last chance to perform work on transplanting and dividing perennial flowers (peonies, phloxes, etc.). Many summer residents do this in August, but it is quite acceptable to postpone manipulations until the beginning of autumn;
• we plant lilies in the country and propagate them by any convenient method;
• at the first frost damage to begonias and cannes is possible. In such a situation, it is better to dig up the flowers together with an earthen clod, dry them, and then store them in a cellar at a temperature of about 5 degrees;
• we continue caring for clematis - loosen the soil around the flowers, weed, water the bushes in dry weather. Feeding is not needed now. Large bushes can be divided. For this job, dig them up, divide them, and plant them in prepared holes. The tillering node should be deepened by 5 centimeters. We treat the earth around the flowers with fungicides for preventive purposes;
• we introduce mineral top dressing without nitrogen for rhododendrons;
• around ornamental crops, you need to start digging up the soil - this will allow you to destroy harmful insects wintering in the ground;
• from favorite flowers we collect seeds that can be planted next year;
• cut off the stems of peonies, spray with a solution of Bordeaux liquid, loosen the ground, scatter ash around the bush. We dig up faded dahlias, clean the tubers and soak for half an hour in a solution of manganese;
• for winter distillation, we select the best tubers of daffodils, tulips and other tuberous ones. We land in flower pots and send it to the basement;
• it's time to comb the lawn in the garden and plant new grass in bald areas.

A lot of work awaits us in the garden and garden in September, but all of them are necessary if you want to rejoice. bountiful harvest and next year. And after a good job, we will have a well-deserved rest in the country, when you can enjoy the last fine days and feast on the gifts of autumn.
