Garden work, planting seedlings

The table of the lunar calendar given on this page is a thematic selection from the universal , for work with fruit trees and shrubs (work with garden strawberries- in the thematic calendar "Vegetable Garden")

May decorates the forests, summer awaits visitors.

May gives us an openwork lace of blooming plums and cherries. It's time to protect fruit and berry trees and shrubs from all kinds of pests and diseases. In May, return night frosts often occur, so during flowering fruit trees It is necessary to carefully monitor changes in air temperature. If necessary, light smoke fires to protect the flowers from frost.

In May, after the ground has thawed, the planting holes are prepared and seedlings of fruit trees and berry bushes.

On a note: May frosts. In addition to smoking, abundant watering of the soil also helps flowering trees survive the May night frosts - moistened soil brings heat to the surface from deeper, uncooled layers, and moisture-saturated air cools more slowly - excess water vapor condenses and releases heat. By watering, you can increase the temperature in the ground layer of air by 2-3 degrees.

ATTENTION! Our gardener's lunar calendar is kept by Moscow time. (The calendar can be used throughout Russia, taking into account the difference between Moscow and local time *)

* To determine the local time of a lunar calendar event in Kaliningrad, you need to subtract -1 hour, in Samara: add +1 hour, in Yekaterinburg and Perm: +2; Novosibirsk: +3, Krasnoyarsk: +4 hours... in Vladivostok: +7, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky: +9 hours.

Tomatoes come from Peru, where the climate is very hot and dry. How to provide native conditions for tomatoes in our climate? For example, they grow in my open ground, and the summer is cool, and they go very frequent rains.

To provide this southerner comfortable conditions and, accordingly, you get a big harvest, you need to be able to form the bush correctly.

Quite often, gardeners want to get the plants they like without special expenses. The first thing that comes to mind in such cases is cuttings. What if you are a beginner or a “lazy” gardener?

Why not give nature the opportunity to do almost all the work for us - propagate our favorite plants by layering?

My strawberry beds have been around for ten years. Naturally, I update the bushes. Previously, when May and June were dry, I removed two buckets from my “plantation” delicious berries and another half a bucket of berries covered with gray rot. If the beginning of summer was rainy, then I got two buckets of gray rot and only half a bucket of ripe strawberries. It's a shame to share the harvest with some rot! I started an attack on this bullshit. So, step by step - why my strawberries never get gray rot.

Sponge cakes with dates are incredibly tasty, slightly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the sweet date in these baked goods becomes like chocolate.

We are gradually learning: sudden changes in habits are not for everyone. I will share my experience of farming “without a shovel”.

Although slightly changing its character, alyssum nevertheless remains a non-capricious and quite hardy plant. But you still have to take care of it carefully.

Vermicelli casserole with sausages and green beans - great idea for breakfast or dinner. The dish turns out to be satisfying and will give you energy in the morning or replenish lost calories in the evening. The ingredients are simple, and so is the cooking process.

As a child, I was delighted with the fairy tale where main character deftly escaped pursuit.

Note: you should not take the gardener’s lunar calendar literally as a guide to action. If in October or January you see recommendations that “you can sow and plant some houseplants” or “water and feed with organic fertilizers,” then know that only experienced gardeners can follow them and this only applies to plants in certain conditions. For example, fruit bearing indoor trees It is permissible to feed monthly even in winter. Plants that are in warm conditions of long daylight hours in autumn and winter (with additional lighting by lamps) can also be fed and even replanted. Experienced gardeners can successfully take cuttings and re-root plants in winter, as well as sow seeds or carry out artificial pollination. In the general rules of plant growing, with the onset of autumn, cooling, reduction of daylight hours and lighting intensity, i.e. When plants enter a stage of dormancy or slowdown in development, fertilizing, replanting, grafting, pruning and other procedures are strongly not recommended.
