Gardener's calendar for July by phases. July in the garden: favorable days for planting. How does the Moon affect plants?

July is the peak of summer.

In July, during active growth, pinching (pinching) of shoots of the main fruit crops - apple trees, pears, plums, etc. is carried out. This ensures inhibition of shoot growth, and the process of their lignification begins. As a rule, they pinch competing shoots and those branches that the gardener wants to quickly transform from growth into fruit. Watch the trees carefully, and if there are a lot of fruits growing on apple, pear and plum trees, then you need to put supports under the branches, otherwise they may break under the load of the harvest.
In July, the berry fields are harvested: raspberries, strawberries, currants, blackberries, gooseberries and other crops.
In addition, it is necessary to constantly water and fertilize the plants. We must not forget about the fight against pests and diseases. For tomatoes at the end of July, the biggest danger is late blight; for prevention, it is advisable to treat them with a 1% solution of Bordeaux mixture - it will not spoil tomatoes that are starting to ripen, since its salts cannot pass through the protective shell of the fruit... But if you are afraid that children can pick a tomato and eat it unwashed, it is better to treat it with an aqueous solution of iodine (slightly yellow), perhaps it will not protect against fungal diseases so well (one way or another, iodine is a general-spectrum antiseptic), but there will be no toxic residues on ripening tomatoes salts (for these reasons, until the idea of treating with iodine came, I did not treat ripening tomatoes with anything at all).
July is the time of intense yield for cucumbers. The calendar specifically mentions the periods of the most favorable days for pickling cucumbers.

Folk signs about the weather in July:

If July is hot, then January will be frosty.
July is the peak of summer, December is the peak of winter.
July is a thunderstorm, a month of heavy rains.

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 work garden season 2017.

In mid-summer, a properly fertilized lawn grows up to 7-10 cm within 10-14 days after the next mowing. If the grass grows slower, apply any complete lawn fertilizer (nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and microelements).

Many gardeners water their lawns too often; this increases the grass's need for fertilizer as water washes away nutrients from the fertile soil layer. If the grass, despite feeding, grows very slowly and bushes poorly, try switching to abundant but infrequent watering - once every 1-2 weeks.

Wipe decorative leaf crops with smooth leaves with a damp soft cloth (ficus, oleander, aspidistra, hibiscus, aglaonema, stromanthus, dieffenbachia and others); flowers with fluffy leaves are best washed under a warm shower (gloxinia, pelargonium, saintpaulia), however, this will not harm any one plant. Take care only of the soil in the pot, cover it with a plastic bag in advance.

On hot days, move indoor plants outside if possible. Move plants from southern windows deeper into the room or shade them in any other way from the hot midday rays.

Feed the tomatoes with superphosphate. To repel butterflies cabbage whites Spray the cabbage regularly with wormwood infusion. Detect and destroy eggs and hatching pest larvae.

The planting season for gardeners requires pre-planned preparation for each vegetable crop, flowers and trees there is a certain temperature regime. In order for the harvest to be rich, it is necessary to sow in certain days, which are indicated in the lunar sowing calendar gardener and gardener for 2017.

Our lunar sowing calendar for gardeners and gardeners for 2017 is suitable for both Russia and Ukraine. It will help you use the influence of the Moon on the development of plants, which will increase the productivity and profitability of your gardens and vegetable gardens.

It is most favorable to start sowing seeds and planting seedlings during the waxing moon. It is at this time that the plant will rapidly begin to grow. It is better to plant root crops 7 days before the moon phase changes.

If plants are planted on a full or new moon, then the likelihood that they may develop poorly or not sprout is very high. Accordingly, the yield will be reduced to zero.

July is often called the top of summer. And long-term observations by weather forecasters justify this name - this month is the hottest, so farmers and summer residents spend the most energy on watering and feeding plants.

Hot summer days require special care not only garden plants, but also ornamental shrubs, fruit trees, lawns. In the first week of the month, you can start cutting rose bushes for propagation, garden strawberries. And in last decade After a month, you can already plant new strawberry bushes.

The planting calendar for July advises planting chives and onions to coincide with the middle of the month. If you live a little further south, you might want to plant root vegetables again for winter storage: carrots, turnips, beets, radishes. If the first batch is already ripe, then, according to the sowing calendar, you can begin harvesting turnips and radishes, and on the vacated ridges you will still have time to sow and harvest salads, radishes and other herbs.

The gardener's calendar recommends paying attention to cauliflower, the ovaries of which in the bright sun may turn pink, green or acquire a purple tint. The delicate snow-white heads must be covered with covering materials and the leaves tied over the inflorescences.

If July turns out to be damp and rainy, then the peppers need care - rot may appear at the places where the stalks are attached and the fruits fall off before they are ripe. And if you notice a whitish coating on the stems, then this is a sign dangerous disease- stem rot. As a result of the development of fungi, the stems can be completely damaged and the plants die. Therefore, as soon as you notice the first white marks, immediately carefully wipe the stems with a soft, dry cloth, and then coat them with a paste made from chalk and manganese. Then sprinkle with ash.

Don't forget about fruit trees. Just in July, the fruits begin to fill them and become heavier. This means that as part of your work, plan a weekly inspection in order to identify branches that are beginning to sag under the weight of fruit. If you do not have time to place supports under them, the entire tree will suffer - branches may break off, forming cracks in the bark of the trunk.

Even the work plans of the gardener’s and summer resident’s calendar this month may include a “war” with uninvited guests - birds, ready to profit from the first ripe berries and fruits. To protect the crop from their raids, hang foil or polyethylene tapes on the branches. Swaying and rustling in the wind, they will scare away thieves. Once again we remind you about watering. In July, new buds appear on fruit trees and shrubs, and if there is a lack of moisture, they can dry out, which will have a detrimental effect on the next season’s harvest.

The time has come to collect berries: gooseberries, currants, raspberries, yoshta, and some late varieties of garden strawberries.
