What crops can be planted in August

To select crops for re-sowing, you need to take into account for which potatoes and carrots are considered good predecessors, and among them choose those that will have time to form a harvest before the end of the season, i.e. in 2-2.5 months.

So, potatoes are considered a good predecessor peas, cabbage, onions, root vegetables, cucumbers, pumpkin, dill, beans, garlic. Pumpkin in this area can be sown in next year, plant garlic in mid-October, onions, root vegetables - in November or early spring.

But early ripe cucumbers can be sown, if it is possible to cover them already in September non-woven material or film to protect against low night temperatures and frosts that can occur at the end of September. But you shouldn’t rely on a big harvest: cucumbers sown in late summer are quickly affected by powdery mildew.

It is quite possible to get a cabbage harvest- Beijing, kohlrabi, pak choi, especially since these crops continue to grow after the first frost: a drop in temperature to minus 4 is not scary for them.

Beijing and Chinese cabbage are early ripening crops. Being sown directly into the ground in mid-August, early varieties are able to form a harvest in one and a half to two months, that is, at the end of September to mid-October you will have juicy pak choy petioles, loose heads of cabbage or leaves of Chinese cabbage on the table.

Of course, provided that the plants are provided with good care.

Late summer sowing for cabbage is even preferable to early spring sowing: Plants will develop in cooler conditions that are more favorable to them. And a short day is only beneficial - it inhibits premature flowering.

• The soil under the cabbage is dug up using the spade of a shovel, having first added up to a bucket of organic matter - compost or humus.
• Seed furrows are made in the garden bed every 30-35 cm and watered thoroughly (preferably in several steps, allowing the water to be well absorbed after each watering).
• The seeds are placed in grooves every 8-10 cm.
• After sowing, it is advisable to cover the bed with thin non-woven material.

If you lay it on arches, you won’t have to remove it after germination. Such a simple shelter - good protection and from the sun, which is still aggressive in August, and from the cruciferous flea beetle, which adores the young leaves of all cruciferous crops. If covering the bed is not possible, immediately powder the seedlings wood ash(all from the same cruciferous flea beetle).

But if slugs have multiplied and fattened up on your site by autumn, it is better to refuse sowing both Chinese and Chinese cabbage. Slugs do not leave the loose heads of Chinese cabbage even for a day: between the leaves they are both moist and nourishing. Kohlrabi shellfish are less harmful. You just need to sow early varieties. The middle and late ones will not have time to form stem fruits.

The beds vacated after potatoes should be enough to plant other crops.

You can, for example, sow early varieties of sugar peas. He will still have time to produce a harvest of pods. In addition, peas are an excellent predecessor for most garden crops. Before sowing, the peas are soaked for 12 hours, changing the water several times during this time. Sow in well-moistened grooves to a depth of 4 cm. Rows from rows are spaced every 20 cm, peas are laid out in grooves every 5 cm.

Peas do not require much care. After the emergence of seedlings, it is watered once a week, loosened after each watering. In autumn, rain and cool weather will correct this minimum. At the end of the season, the pea stems are cut and placed in compost, and the roots are dug up.

Beans can also be sown in mid-August, but as a green manure, since it will not have time to form a harvest.

If you love leafy vegetables, it’s worth sowing lettuce, rukula and (required!) dill. Sowing spinach can be delayed for a month. You won’t get a harvest in the fall, but in the spring the spinach, after overwintering, will produce a very early harvest.

A former carrot bed can be given over to radishes or early varieties daikon. In fact, the daikon should have been sown a little earlier, but if the autumn is long, the root crops will have time to grow to the average size characteristic of the variety before November. But the cruciferous flea beetle is less of a nuisance to the daikon of late-summer crops. And you have to water the daikon much less often than when sowing in mid-July or early August.

Before sowing daikon, add up to a bucket of organic matter per square meter to the garden bed. m (compost, humus) and dig it onto the bayonet of a shovel. Make furrows 60 cm apart from each other, water them well and sow the seeds. The seedlings are thinned out, leaving 5 plants per linear meter. In dense crops, root crops differ sharply in size, and more flowering plants are formed.

The lunar sowing calendar for gardeners and gardeners for August 2018 will be able to assist you in planning work in the garden and vegetable garden and will be able to help you determine favorable and unfavorable days of the month for planting and caring for plants.
