Seasonal work in the country

JANUARY
Do not leave the garden alone
Winter. Our garden is sleeping, and we have to rest with you: the snowfall does not strive to break the fragile branches, the rodents do not sleep, frosts are cracking, and in front of something else barking February!

Reliable protection
In frosts are the most vulnerable to the roots of trees, and therefore to protect them from the freezing, they emphasize the snow around the rustic circles. It is especially important to do in low-snow winters. It is also useful to move the snow from the garden sections, where it is not needed, in those where it is just necessary. Also richly cooled berry bushes. Make it all needs before the February frost collapses.

Dangerous snowfall
Do not forget that abundant snowfalls carry not only the good for the garden. For example, branches may not withstand the very strong accumulation of snow and simply break. To do this, it is necessary to shake it from the crown from time to time, especially during heavy snowfalls.

Rodents near!
Do not forget that the hares, mice and other rodents hurt in our gardens in winter. Periodically check and correct protection on the trees: husknik, rubberoid, etc. Remember that such chips can be scaled, for example, by the smell, taking disinsection or place traps.
FEBRUARY
Delay snow

The main work in the garden this month is the accumulation of snow. Do not let me freeze landings! Well, in your free time you can think about the upcoming season.
This is perhaps the most severe month per year, and therefore at this time the garden most needs our protection. Remember how in the song it turns on: "I walked around the frost with snow, see do not frozen ..." Here we will do the same. Shelting the earth with snow, nature itself cares about the fact that the plants are warm, but we can strengthen this defense, delaying it as much as possible in your garden. And it will help us in this prepared since the autumn spruce or pine yard. Just lay it out in places where very little snow, and when the snowfall passes, take out the huskien and re-lay on top of the snowdrifts. And so, from the snowfall to the snowfall we will save our garden from harsh frosts. It is especially important to do this during low-snow winters.
In the free time, not so much work on the plot, you can build plans for the future, prepare inventory, capacitance for seedlings. Spring is completely close!
MARCH

Month of dangerous sun
FINALLY SPRING! Here he is already stronger than the sun, pierced and the snow comes down, the garden wakes up - the trees gradually come out of the rest of the rest. So, it's time for us to arm a garde tool.
From rays and pests
No matter how happy the Spring Sun, but our garden is now contraindicated. The fact is that from his rays begins on the one hand very much to heat the dark bark of trees, whereas on the other - the shadow, it remains cool. The temperature difference reaches 15-20 °! Of course, such a difference does not affect the plant: the bark begins to crack, die, solar burns appear. The yield is obvious: it's time to whiten the trunks of fruit trees with a lime solution. By the way, this measure will protect them not only from the Sun, but also from pests.
Snow comes out
If your site is located high, take care of the delay of melt waters, and if in lowland - on the contrary, clearing the drainage channels. During the tanya of snow, do not forget from time to time to feed plants and shake the branches, because its settlement can break them. The weak shoots of shrubs and young trees are especially exposed to the dangers.
Time forming
Fruit trees are still in a state of rest, which means it is time to do forming and sanitary trimming.
APRIL
Loose pests!

Now the main concern in the garden ~ protect it from diseases and pests, many of whom safely overwhelmed on our plants. It is also time to go landing and cutting trees and shrubs.
So that the garden was healthy
With the arrival of heat, not only our trees and shrubs wake up, but also the clouds of pests overwhelmed on them: a zeltaguka, hawkerman, fruit, weevil, neckline and many others. Carefully inspect crowns and trunks: we break the old fruits, braided web leaves and other "winter apartments" of pests. The weather was barely installed, proceed to spraying the garden insecting
Cides, burgundy liquid (you need to do this before the renal disclosure). We collect and burn dry and sick leaves in strawberries.
Necessary work
Do not forget that during this time frosts often happen: it is necessary to cover strawberries and early-flowing plants. If you need to transplant shrubs and trees, plant seedlings, do it before the renal dissipation.
MAY
Trees in smoke
The warmer days, the more the work of the gardener. This month we need to finish and get rid of the landings, and to get rid of pests, and get down, and we wonder, and even frosts do not penetrate. But where did our disappear?
Cunning nights
Although summer on the threshold, but the May nights are still threatened with harsh frosts. Especially they are dangerous if your garden is located in the lowland. Even a small frost is now capable of destroying all your works, because even - g is enough to destroy long-awaited flowers blossomed on fruit trees. But with you there is nothing to protect your gardens - piles for smoking are prepared in advance. In them we collected peat, fallen leaves, chips, etc. If the next night threatens freezes, after sunset we set up a heap, put the grass, sawdust and gasim the flames of the earth and the turf to form as much smoke as possible. And smoke until dawn until a safe temperature is established. To protect the garden of six acres, we will need about 6-10 such a coup.
Grafting and transplant
At the beginning of the month, we still have time to finish the work on landing and transplanting trees and shrubs. In parallel we are engaged in the vaccination of the cuttings. Please note that you need to start the vaccination when the swollen kidneys began to be revealed at future flows - this means that it began. The cuttings, on the contrary, should still be in a state of rest and the kidneys should not be revealed on them.
Away, fucking!
Although we worked in the past month, eliminating the garden from pests and diseases, still not possible to get rid of everyone. Moreover, at the end of April - the beginning of May, the years begins with butterflies of apple-lean fruit and crawled after wintering of the caterpillars of a rosary leaflet and winter spinning. Therefore, we continue from time to process the garden insecticides and burglar liquid (it is desirable to do to flowering). Do not lazy to collect pests by hand, and it will not prevent special traps on the trees and periodically check them. This month, hordes of pests begin to besiege and berry shrubs (sawers, rills, fires, weevils, etc.). It is necessary and here to take timely measures.
Loosening from weeds
The closer summer, the more active the weeds are starting to climb into the garden. From their Zasili loyal land in the aisle, under the crowns of trees and shrubs, ruthlessly overlapping the uninvited guests.
JUNE
Strawberry time

The beginning of the summer will finally delight us the first harvest - strawberries. But not the time to relax, because real yield victories are still ahead. So, as before, we water, frill with the soil, fight pests, feed, in general, do everything so that our garden is perfect.
Mustral haircut
The strawberries are still stronger than the mustache, which deplete plants, selecting many nutrients. Our task to cohere them in a timely manner, not allowing them to grow more than 10 cm. In order not to damage the parent plant, carefully cut them off by the secateur (in no case we break!). Before the start of flowering, it is desirable to decompose into aisle and under the bunches of chopped straw, sawdust or chips. Evaluate this when the berry goes - it will not touch the ground, and therefore it will be clean and less susceptible to disease. To harm your strawberries that have begun to appear this month of the slug. For their catch, we scatter the leopa leaves or pieces of plywood in the aisle: checking the traps and destroy the pests from time to time. Of course, do not forget about watering and feeding. If everything goes successfully, by the end of the month, get the first harvest of scratchy juicy berries.
Crimson problems
This month, raspberries are drawn up - young shoots are very actively growing. It is best to leave some of them the most powerful (at the rate of 12-15 shoots per 1 m of a row), and the remaining cut from the earth itself, so that even the hemp remains.
Not those berries
Take a look, have not done on shrubs of currant and gooseberry red berries? If so, immediately dismiss them and destroy them, because it is nothing more than the nests of the larvae of very dangerous pests - fires that emit seeds and the flesh of berries. Check your berries from time to time.
Checking vaccinations
Near the trees, we remove the strambed and root piglets, from time to time the soil and we are weeding there, where it is not inspired. Pay attention to the grunges made in the spring: loosen the strapping on them, because the trunk is gradually thickened and the impunity can crash into it. If several shoots have grown on the cuttings, leave one stronger, the rest are removed. Also on young trees, pinch the growing shoots. Periodically check the crawling belts on the trees and destroy pests.
JULY
Joy of harvest
Raspberries and strawberries are already happy with juicy berries. Other cultures are not lagging behind: see how many fruits on the shrubs of trees - to collect the harvest to hand. Now it is important to support Ash Garden: to water the soil always slightly stealing, giving the weeds, do not forget about feeding.
Raspberries
This month gives abundant crop raspberry. And in order to collect with it as many juicy berries as possible, from time to time we remove the nutrients from the mother's bush. July is the hottest month: make sure that the soil under the Malinik was constantly wet. At the very beginning of the ripening of berries, we introduce the fertilizer's bushes: just do it takes carefully, so as not to damage the roots.
Strawberry Polyany
We continue in a timely manner as ripening, collect strawberries. But when collecting, watches, so that with healthy berries, they do not get sick with gray rot, otherwise they can infect the entire harvest. Patients who started rotting berries need to turn and immediately destroy: burn or bury.
Backups for branches
To better ripe berries on currant and gooseberry bushes, adopt the plants of the bird litter or a cow, you can add wood ash. Water regularly. Make sure that the branches live from gravity are not sinking to the ground - the berries will begin to deteriorate. Where necessary, put backups.
We collect Padalitsa
Apples are already so large that the branches of trees do not stand and be defeated. It's time to come to the trees to help and strengthen the branches of the backups, because such an abundance of the harvest can simply break. We will certainly collect and destroy the Padalitsa - we will not give to spread to voracious fruzens.
Unnecessary pigs
This month, plums and cherries are very strongly formed by horse piglers, which significantly depletes the plant, which, accordingly, adversely affects yields. Porosle must be carefully removed directly from the root. So that the harvest does not break the branches, do not forget and put the backups under their branches.
Needed feeders
During this period, fosforn-potash fertilizers are most useful to our garden plants. With nitrogen, on the contrary, you need to be careful: the excess of this substance does not affect the growth of young shoots.
AUGUST
First apples

If in the previous month we hurt exclusively by berries, this month already generously giving us harvest fruit trees-first apples, pears, plums, cherries. Finally we and currants were waited. And in the first half of the month we have another concern - landing strawberries.
Vintage is still ahead
So we waited with you first apples - ripen summer varieties. We collect a crop and immediately let me for processing. But we remember that the main apple harvest is still ahead. We check the backups under heavy branches from the crop, we water, remove the strambed and root piglets, we fight pests - check the curiy belt.
Fruit and berries
As ripening we collect the fruits of plum and cherry. When collecting, carefully inspect the harvest: it is impossible to allow, together with healthy for storage, fruits infected with illness come to - they must be immediately removed. By the way, plums will be stored longer in a fresh form, if they tear them a little unreliable. Do them in the box in a cool dark place, pre-shifting the paper.
Landing strawberries
On the beds, after harvesting, strawberries, from time to time, smear weeds and remove the mustache, well also make fertilizers. This month you need to pay the time for planting strawberries: the beds scheduled for landing feather and leaving. The best time for landing is evening or cloudy or rainy day.
Berry abundance
In August, raspberries rapidly fruit, so it's necessary to collect it every day. Collecting, try not to lay berries with a thick layer, otherwise you risk the bottom. Water Malinnik in a timely manner so that the soil under the bushes is constantly wet - the raspberry is a very moisture plant.
I am glad this month and currant. It is necessary to collect it regularly, but it is best to do it in dry weather - wet berries are worse stored.
What you can not forget
In the garden, we continue to loosen the soil and fight weeds. Already now you can prepare the soil for future planting of fruit trees and berry shrubs, as well as to prepare the planting material for autumn fit. The season is gradually nearing completion, so it's time to think about how we will store the future harvest: to disinfect the cellar, prepare a container for autumn and winter varieties of pears and apples.
SEPTEMBER
Fruit season
This month, plenty of apple trees is abundantly fruiting, and it is the sweat of a crop that will go on storage and will delight us yet for one month. But do not forget about other concerns, because it is right now it's time to feed many plants and prepare the ground for future landing.
We collect carefully
Sucked autumn and winter grade apples. Start cleaning! We tear the fruits carefully, trying to leave the fruit - with her they will continue much longer. In advance prepared storage facilities we send only healthy fruits: we look at the damage to the pulp and the skin, rot, because one such an apple can destroy the entire harvest in the repository. The remaining apples immediately let me in the processing.
Replant, fertilize
Having finished collecting berries, we remove the frame fences. Some gardeners in the spring of shopping currant grain:
Now they need to separate them from the main bush, pour and transplant. If you plan to multiply this culture with cuttings - now is the time for autumn shilling.
We introduce a fertilizer raspberry bushes, pumping the soil. Do not allow Malinnik's thickening: remove the root processes twisted.
Pumping soil
This month, be sure to turn into the soil perk in the rolling circles and aisle. At the same time we introduce and well mix with soil organic and phosphorus-potash fertilizers.
OCTOBER
Between in summer and winter
The harvest is assembled and now it's time to bring the garden in order: to feed, to get rid of pests.
Preparing berries
We remove under the currant foliage, leaving the soil. Old, stopped fruit branches gently cut off.
Epiphany shallow under raspberry soil, bending its branches as far as possible to the ground - we are preparing for the upcoming frosts.
For strawberries, we remove the mustache with sockets, we remove the foliage under the bushes, put weeds. Well during this period, deposit mineral fertilizer under the strawberries and step by the soil.
After leaf fall
The leavefall passed and now became noticeable on crowns numerous nests going to wintering pests and sources of diseases: dried leaves, fruits. Of course, all this must be removed from the trees and destroy. For the same reason, Padalitsa should not remain on Earth.
NOVEMBER
Ascertain the cold

Winter is already so close that her cold breathing is felt, and therefore it's time to prepare the garden to the cold. Do not forget also to take the garden to the master's eye and check whether there is no lucky foliage, weeds, branches: there must be a clean garden.
Who threatens the trees
Our trees in winter are threatened by frosts, but also numerous rodents whose teeth can easily destroy our garden. They represent a special danger to young trees. To protect the nepper (pine, spruce), rubberoid or other tight material: We are reliably taking the strains of young trees, those who have not yet coated the bark. Already now you can engage in a whitewash with a lime solution, without leaving this work on the spring.
Bushes in a bundle
So that our berries are better overwhelming and retained fruit kidneys, we associate shrubs with twine.
DECEMBER
Garden in wintering

So winter came, enveloping our gardens with snow. Now you can relax, build plans for the upcoming season, but only after you are convinced: is there enough snow? Do not frozen our favorites? Nothing left the teeth of rodents?
Check the protective equipment
I hope not forgotten that a considerable danger to the garden represent rodents: hares, mice, water rats, etc. Check if the trunks of the trees rubberoid or the pawberry, and if not, be sure to take care of it. You can also protect the garden from the uninvited guests, for example, scattering the potato tuber trees with a poisonous filling or screking them in other ways.
Shrubs - under Sugro
The stronger the snow is bitten by our berries, the warmer it will be in frosts, because we try to accumulate as much snow in shrubs of currant, gooseberry, raspberries, trying to hide them completely under
snowdrifts.
Do not miss snowfall
Fruit trees have a rest period. After snowfalls, they plunge their trunks with snow. By the way, if you carefully tummet the snow in the rollerous circles, it will protect the tree from rodents and will warm the root system. In severe snowfalls, do not forget to shake the snow with the crown, because under his weight can be broken down weak
