What you need to do on the site in the first month of spring
Despite the fact that at the beginning of the spring period it is usually still cold and unstable weather is observed, for summer residents and gardeners it is precisely at this time that troubles begin on the plots. Moreover, there is already a lot of trouble, so it is advisable to draw up a rough plan for the month for what and when to do.
Important! It is not recommended to completely remove snow from the site, since frosts for the first month of spring are a frequent occurrence. Snow can warm plants if necessary .
Here are the main work to be done:
- Inspection and cleaning of snow, ice. In March, property inspections and assessment of plants for their condition after wintering will start. To do this, clear them of snow. All tracks, aisles are also subject to cleaning. This is necessary in order to make it easier to get to the trees and divert melt water from the site.
- Discharge of water from the site. From trees, greenhouses, cellars, dig grooves that allow water to escape. To achieve melting ice on the site, it can be sprinkled with peat, ash, humus.
- Collection of melt water. It is necessary to fill all available empty tanks with snow in order to get water for further watering the plants.
- Whitewash. The main task of summer residents and gardeners is to protect plants not only from frost, but also from the first sunlight. If you are worried about whitewashing in the fall, now you should not worry. If this procedure has not been carried out, it must be carried out urgently.
- Stripping of bark and treatment for diseases. Next, you need to proceed to the inspection of plants for damage, illness, frostbite, frost pits. After the frosts go away, the damaged areas will need to be cleaned and greased with garden varieties, the trees should be treated with solutions of iron or copper sulfate.
- Pruning. Upon reaching a stable temperature of + 5 ° C, it is necessary to proceed to pruning. All damaged, frostbite, diseased, improperly growing branches are cut off, the crown is thinned out.
- Preventive measures against pests. Since overwintering insects begin to appear from the ground with heat, it is necessary to impose fishing belts on the trunks in order to prevent parasites from reaching the crown.
- Attraction of useful birds. To control pests, you need to attract birds to your site. March is the best time to install nesting houses.
- Preparation of greenhouses, hotbeds. In the same month, the condition of greenhouse shelters is assessed, if necessary, their repair, disinfection and soil preparation.
- Extracting seed potatoes. Gardeners at this time need to make sure that the potato seeds are taken out into a warm and well-lit room for germination.
- Growing seedlings. It is necessary to tackle the sowing of those crops that are planned to be planted in seedlings - peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, cabbage, celery.
Lunar sowing calendar on:
April
May
There will be work in March for the florist. It is as follows:
- Daily removal of shelters from flowers that have been sheltered since the fall, for a while. The duration of the removal of shelters must be increased gradually every day.
- Inspection of the state of biennials and perennials. In the case of their baking, transplantation and mulching with peat is required.
- Fertilizing for bulbs and perennial crops. Complex mixtures with a predominance of nitrogen are required. Fertilizer is allowed to spread even on snow.
- Planting seedlings of petunia, crystal chamomile, snapdragon, nemesia and other plants that require growing by the seedling method.
- Planting on open beds of asters, marigolds. This is carried out in the last days of the month, covering the landings with a film.
Important! Sowing pepper, leek, celery, and strawberries should be planted in early March. If this failed, then doing this is not worth it, because these plants do not have enough time for development.
