Spring gardening
Already at the beginning of the month, you need to harrow the soil dug up in the fall as soon as possible, sow early vegetables, to establish temporary film shelters, to sow fast-growing cold-resistant (mustard, phacelia) green manure in the beds, which will be occupied by thermophilic vegetables.
Now they sell collapsible greenhouses of various sizes. They are installed over the prepared bed in a few minutes. You can simply cover the bed with a frame covered with foil, or insulate the area with foil on arcs.
The simplest shelter will allow you to get shoots of radish, lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions, sown with nigella, kohlrabi in more early datesthan in open beds. The seeds of cold-resistant crops begin to germinate at low positive temperatures, but if the microclimate is made warmer by several degrees, the seedlings will appear faster, the plants will develop more actively.
In addition to the clues from Lunar sowing calendar, summer residents use tips from nature:
In April, they begin to sow on open beds when crocuses bloom in the garden.
A small greenhouse can be equipped for sowing seeds, picking tomato seedlings. You can sow dry tomato seeds directly into the garden and cover with foil on arcs. The result will be low film tunnels, which will provide favorable conditions for friendly seedlings and at first will protect the seedlings from the changes in April weather. On warm days, such shelters can be opened or removed, accustoming tomatoes to direct sunlight, wind, and completely removed in May.
Birch trees turned green - we plant potatoes.
At the beginning of the month, we continue to prepare potatoes for planting: examining the tubers, we remove the diseased, not sprouted, with threadlike sprouts.
Some summer residents germinate cleanly washed tubers in plastic bags, having previously made holes in them. In more humid conditions, not only eyes, but also roots begin to develop on the tubers. It is only important not to break off those and others during transportation, landing.
When the weather is warm (the birches turn green), we plant the potatoes, even if the tuber eyes have not reached the required centimeter length: in the soil, the tubers become more active.
The first daffodils for early cabbage
In the second half of April, we plant hardened cabbage seedlings in the beds - Brussels sprouts, Beijing, cauliflower, white cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi. You can navigate by the flowering of early daffodils growing in the sun. In cold weather, cabbage takes root well, begins to intensively grow leaves. In case of a severe cold snap, it is necessary to provide for a temporary shelter for the plants with non-woven material, film.
When the soil in greenhouses at a depth of 10 cm warms up to 14 degrees, we plant tomato seedlings in unheated greenhouses. For planting seedlings or sowing cucumber seeds, wait for more heat. Cold soil is fraught with root rot for these thermophilic plants.
If the soil in the greenhouse has not changed for a long time, it is abundantly moistened with an extrasol solution: 10 g (st.spoon) per 10 liters of water, consumption - 7-8 liters of working solution per sq. m. This helps to populate the soil with beneficial microflora and suppress pathogenic ones.
At about the middle of the month, at home or in a greenhouse, we sow seeds of cucumbers, zucchini in separate cups, so that in May we plant not overgrown seedlings in open ground.
We dive the nightshade seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants) for open ground, feed them (1 g of complex fertilizer per liter of water), start hardening in the open air. In April, it is not too late to sow tomatoes for seedlings - in small cassettes or cups, in order to plant them in open ground in May (without picking).
We try not to spoil the seedlings that have begun to outgrow: we lower the temperature (open the vents or take the plants out to the loggia), water less, do not feed them with nitrogen, improve the illumination.
At the end of the month, we dig up green manures (both overwintered and sown in spring) in the plots allocated for planting seedlings of thermophilic crops.
Lunar calendars for the following months:
Leek is a culture in which there is a large amount of nutrients, and in terms of the amount of vitamin C it contains, it is far ahead of other greens grown on summer cottage... In order to grow it yourself, you just need to figure out the secrets of care and sow seedlings in time, since planting in open ground is only suitable for southern regions.
And in order to get a harvest in the middle lane, you need to know when to plant leeks for seedlings in 2017 in the Moscow region, or else think about allocating a place for this crop in a greenhouse. best suited to our climatic conditions.
Seedlings are planted, focusing on the fact that between the shoots and placing them in open ground, an interval of 55-60 days should pass from the moment of shoots, i.e. on average, it should take about 2.5 months from the moment of planting the seeds to the final transplanting. Therefore, you can start preparing seeds as early as February.
Advice! In order for the seeds to germinate quickly, and the seedlings themselves to be strong, it is advisable to harden the seed material itself. For this, contrasting baths are arranged for him, when first the seeds are placed in hot, but not boiling water for 15-20 minutes, and then in cold water for the same period of time. Then they are soaked in gauze dipped in warm water with the addition of substances that stimulate growth. When the first shoots appear on the seeds, which should happen after three days, they are dried and transferred directly to the room in the ground.
Leek and the lunar calendar
The effect of the latter on plants has been noticed by people for a long time and leeks are no exception. It is believed that crops planted in accordance with specific phases of the moon take root better and grow more successfully, giving best harvest... Therefore, many gardeners are eager to know when to plant leeks for seedlings in 2017 according to the lunar calendar. In each of the months most optimal for planting, there are only a few such days:
- in February from 10 to 11 and from 18 to 20;
- in March from 11 to 13, 17, 18;
- in April from 9th to 10th, 13th, 20th.
In May, it is no longer advisable to grow seedlings, you can try to sow onions in open ground, but whether it will have time to grow before the beginning of autumn largely depends not only on care, but also on climatic conditions. requires special conditions.
Landing in open ground
Seedlings of onions perfectly tolerate low temperatures, but do not tolerate frost. And this is the main danger of early planting: having figured out when to plant leeks for seedlings in 2017, gardeners are often faced with information that two degrees of heat is enough for a plant to grow successfully. But such a not too high indicator can drop even lower at any time, which will entail the death of seedlings, therefore it is advisable to plant onions in the ground no earlier than in May. In April, you can transplant the leek into a greenhouse, where it will be guaranteed to be protected from possible frost.
Interesting! An easy way to check the readiness of seedlings for transplanting into the ground is to check them for full leaves. If there are less than three of them, then the seedlings are not yet ready, since its growth rates can be individual.
Leek care
It is important not only to know when to plant leeks for seedlings in 2017, but also what climatic conditions to create for it. It should not be too hot on the windowsill, for optimal germination, a temperature of 20 degrees is enough, and after germination at night it should drop to 15, otherwise the seedlings will stretch out too quickly, but at the same time they will be weak.
Having figured out when to plant leeks for seedlings in 2017, you can make sure that special efforts are not required to grow this rather expensive culture on the shelves of culture stores.
In our latitudes, your own high-quality leek can only be obtained through seedlings. Leek is a very healthy and tasty vegetable, but it is not cheap in stores. In addition, there is no guarantee that store copies will be environmentally friendly. Getting your own leek is not difficult at all for the owner of your land. The main thing is to carry out all agrotechnical measures on time.
The age of leek seedlings when planted in the ground should be at least 60 - 70 days. Only in this case "legs" of the marketable mass will be obtained, with the necessary accumulation of nutrients and a typical taste. This cold-resistant crop should be planted in a permanent place rather early, roughly in mid-late May. Taking into account that any varieties of onions do not sprout too quickly (and leeks are no exception), it is necessary to sow for seedlings in February. When choosing a specific date, you should follow the tips sowing calendar for Februaryь 2017.
The best days are 7-9. These days are patronized by the growing Moon in Cancer - one of the most fertile signs. February 3-4 (Moon in Taurus) will also be suitable. Seedling soil is selected as loose as possible, with the addition of sand. The landing capacity must be high enough. For seedlings, leeks can be sown very densely, at first its greenery does not require a large area, the depth of the soil layer is more important. All seedlings can fit in one half-liter nursery. Good drainage holes for water drainage are required.
It is allowed to sow leeks in early March. In this case, the seeds must be pre-soaked in a reliable stimulant (like Epin) for early germination and friendly shoots. Good days are picked by gardener's lunar calendar for March 2017. All ten days of the first decade of March (waxing moon) are coming. The most favorable - March 1 (the Moon in Aries triggers the mechanism of the future growth of powerful greenery), March 7-8 (when the growing Moon in Cancer is especially fond of garden crops).
Seedlings are placed in the brightest place. Bright sunlight is a must for leeks. It is also desirable that it is not too hot, the coolness is even more useful. And this culture is very fond of plentiful feeding. They start already in the seedling period. The timing of the first fertilizing watering should also be coordinated with the lunar gardener's calendar for marchso they will be most beneficial. The following dates are suggested: March 13-17, March 21-22.
In April, feeding is repeated. At the beginning of the month, on the increasing moon, they can also be foliar (spraying): April 3-4, April 7-9. After the full moon, fertilizing watering is arranged - April 12-14, April 17-19, April 22-23. Under the open sky, leeks are transferred in May, when the severe cold ends, but the heat has not yet come. Avoid landing on a full moon (expected on May 11), a new moon (its date is May 25).
