What you need to do in October

Regardless of the climate, there is still a lot of work in the garden and in the garden in the middle of autumn, it's just that the specifics are excellent. In warmer ones, young trees and shrubs are planted, vegetables and fruit crops are harvested, they dig up the soil, covering up organic matter and mineral fat. In areas with cool weather, the garden is intensively prepared for winter. At this time, the fallen leaves are removed, pruning and protective measures are carried out.

Planting and transplanting flowers, vegetables

In the first half of the month, as long as the heat is stable outside, you can plant tulip and daffodil bulbs that were dug out after flowering and the dying off of the aerial part (in summer). But thermophilic crops (dahlias, gladioli), on the contrary, are removed from the ground to be transplanted into containers and taken indoors or sent to storage in a cool, dark basement.

Garlic is planted in a previously prepared area until mid-October. If unstable weather is noted in the region, they are very careful in determining the optimal timing. If you plant too early, there is a chance of seedlings that will die when frost sets in. And if you are too late, the culture may not take root. A good time is when the average daily temperature is 10 ° C. Planting depth - 3 diameters of garlic seed cloves. After light freezing, the plantings are mulched with peat or covered with a thin layer of fallen garden foliage.

The second half of the month is the time of sowing winter crops (carrots, parsley, dill, lettuce, spinach, radishes, turnips, rutabagas, celery, onion seeds for a turnip). The optimal timing falls on the pre-winter season, when the temperature values of the soil drop to 2 ° C. Experienced vegetable growers advise sowing in a thaw, when the ground freezes up to 5 cm in depth and thaws slightly. Seeds are sown dry, increasing the seeding rate, which will serve as an insurance fund.

Garden activities

If work on the beds in the middle of autumn is almost completed, then in the garden and front garden they are only gaining momentum. On the eve of frost, it is necessary to have time to plant seedlings, carry out sanitary pruning of the crowns of shrubs and trees, prepare the lawn for winter, remove garbage from the garden, which includes fallen leaves, uprooted weeds.

Planting trees

The planting material planted in the second half of October falls into the risk zone - it is necessary to have time to complete the work in the first ten days of the month. Winter-hardy varieties and crops are recommended to be planted in a permanent place. If the gardener is not sure of such characteristics of the seedling, it is better to dig it in by waiting until April. However, autumn is a great time to buy planting material. Don't miss it. With the arrival of spring in shopping centers and nurseries, as a rule, they try to sell seedlings that they could not or did not have time to sell in the fall.

If the gardener wants to save the seedling until spring planting, first choose a hill, protected from drafts, but well warmed up by the sun's rays. The site should not be heated during thaws. A ditch is dug on it with an orientation from east to west and half a meter deep, the seedling is lowered at an angle and sprinkled with soil, compaction well. If the fall is dry, it needs to be watered.

For your information! Planting of seedlings in a permanent place is carried out according to the agrotechnical requirements of a particular crop.

Pruning and processing from pests, diseases

There are plants that do not tolerate spring shearing well, including berries. They are pruned at the beginning or end of October, focusing on the suspension of vital processes. But the plants should have enough time to heal the wounds. First of all, thin and broken shoots are cut, and then weak and thickening the crown. In order to prevent infection with infections, the cut sites are treated with garden pitch. After the leaf fall is over, and all the leaves (a source of fungal diseases) are removed, trees and shrubs are sprayed with a tank mixture. It contains insecticide and fungicide. The former will destroy the wintering stock of harmful insects, and the latter will destroy the pathogenic organisms.

Preparing your lawn for winter

Winter is a difficult period for the garden recreation area, where a green lawn is laid out. If, after the last haircut, the grass has managed to grow strongly, it is shortened, but the height is maintained at 5-8 cm. Seeds are poured in the areas where bald spots have formed. October is a good time, as the ants will no longer be able to take away the seed, and with the arrival of spring for the first haircut, it will sprout.

At this time, potash fertilizers are introduced. The macronutrient provides plants with resistance to cold weather and allows the lawn to successfully overwinter. All debris, including fallen leaves, is thoroughly cleaned with a rake. In a rainy autumn, in order to remove excess moisture from the sensitive root system of the lawn grass, the sod is pierced with a pitchfork. In addition, it helps to protect the plants from freezing: as soon as frost hits, the wet lawn will be covered with an ice crust, and "bald spots" will form by spring.

Work with pot crops

Since the beginning of October is very warm even in the middle lane, not to mention the south, houseplants should be entered not according to the calendar, but taking into account the temperature regime. As soon as night temperatures reach 13-14 ° C, the containers are moved indoors. Begin to prepare potted crops for the dormant stage.Watering is reduced, feeding is not carried out.

Harvest

Gardeners and gardeners are trying to complete all seasonal work by mid-October. This is not always due to lack of time in September. Many late-ripening varieties bear fruit in warm regions until the end of October. In the middle of autumn, both fruit and vegetable crops continue to yield. After collecting the latter, the site is dug up, thereby completing the field work.

Vegetables

At the beginning of the month, cauliflower is harvested, and a little later, the same is done with white cabbage. Cleaning is carried out in dry weather, giving the heads of cabbage a little shake. After the harvest is laid for storage. If, on the harvested specimens, foci of development of gray rot are noted, the heads of cabbage in the storage are covered with a mixture of sand, slaked lime and chalk.

Immediately after cutting the white cabbage, you can start harvesting the late Brussels sprouts. In order for it to retain its presentation longer, the following rules are followed:

Dig up specimens with roots.
Heads of cabbage are poured into wet sand in a large deep box in the basement, or they are hung up by the roots on the crossbar.
The temperature regime in the cellar is maintained at 1-2 ° C.

For your information! After cutting the heads of cabbage, the roots of the cabbage are completely removed, since they are the breeding source of the cabbage fly, as well as food for mouse rodents.

In mid-October, such root crops as radish, parsnips, celery are dug. In order to get fresh greens from the garden early, small parsley roots are recommended to be left for the winter. Towards the end of the month, Jerusalem artichoke tubers are harvested. In order to also get a crop harvest next year, part of the rhizomes is left in the garden. If Jerusalem artichoke has been growing in one place for 5 years, it must be transplanted. This is the right time.

After the arrival of the first frosts, they dig out horseradish. At this time, the largest number of nutrients is concentrated in the roots of the culture. When preparing dishes from it, it will be fragrant, sweetish and not so "vigorous". The roots are chosen without a trace, otherwise horseradish will grow throughout the entire territory of the garden. The crop is dried and placed in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.

Fruits and berries

In October, the fruits of pears and apples of late varieties and hybrids are removed. For longer storage, the fruit is harvested dry after the dew has subsided. All specimens planned for laying in the basement must be with stalks. The fruits are carefully examined for mechanical damage. A healthy crop is laid out on boxes lined with paper, sprinkled with files. If the latter are not there, you can wrap each copy in napkins. This "barrier" will prevent the rest of the crop from contaminating the crop if one fruit starts to rot.

To reduce the risk of spoilage of healthy fruits, which increases with temperature differences, when apples and pears removed from the tree are immediately sent to storage, the boxes with the harvest are first placed in the barn. And only then (when the temperatures in the basement and outside are equal), with the onset of cold weather, the containers are transferred to the cellar, where the fruit will be further stored at low positive values.

At the same time, the collection of black chops, remontant varieties of raspberries, is being completed. Quince is the last of the fruit crops to be harvested. She has a long ripening period - mass fruiting occurs in the second half of October. Because of this, a crop with tart, highly aromatic fruits is more suitable for cultivation in warm regions.

Tuesday Wednesday

The growing moon in Scorpio

Scorpio - fertile zodiac sign

(Days of the Leaf)

In the garden - planting winter crops. Sowing sorrel, rhubarb in open ground. It is possible to plant onions in a greenhouse on greens. Sowing of winter siderates. Watering, loosening, slug control.
Flower garden - favorable days for planting roses, clematis, perennials, as well as daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, crocuses.
In the garden - planting seedlings of fruit trees, berry bushes, grapes, raspberries, blackberries. Watering, feeding with organic and mineral fertilizers.
Not recommended - dividing tubers, pruning and digging out potatoes.
Blanks - wine, liqueurs, drying of herbal leaves.

Influence of the phases of the moon

As a natural satellite of the Earth, the Moon affects many natural phenomena - gravity, ebb and flow. The effect on liquid substances was also reflected in the study of the dependence of the phases of a celestial body and representatives of vegetation. During the growing moon, the juices rise to the top - a suitable time for sowing crops in which the aerial part is valuable (the shoots themselves, fruits).

When the satellite decreases, the days are favorable for plant roots (in October - from 3 to 14). At this time, root crops are sown before winter, the soil is cultivated. There are four phases in a celestial body. For each, the appropriate types of work are suitable.

Table. Impact of the position of the moon

Name	Description of activities
New moon	In a period lasting three days, it is not worth sowing or planting any crops. The phase is suitable for weeding, spraying against pests, removing overgrowths, diseased and dead tree shoots, preparing medicinal preparations. Carefully carry out moderate irrigation, shallow loosening of the earth
Waxing Crescent	Since the phase has a beneficial effect on the development of the aboveground part, it is recommended to sow seeds, plant trees, transplant indoor flowers - all crops that develop above the ground. Soil processing, top dressing, irrigation will be successful
Full moon	On the days before and after the peak of the phase, root crops are harvested and seed is harvested. Reproduction, pruning and all manipulations associated with the formation of the crown cannot be carried out
Decreasing	The right time to plant root crops and bulbous crops, fight weeds and harmful organisms in the garden, feed the plantings, enrich the soil with organic fertilizers, and harvest. When the moon is waning, rhizomes of flowers are dug up for winter storage.

For your information! When determining favorable terms in the dacha calendar, the dependence of the position of the celestial body in the constellation is taken into account. For example, if the zodiac sign is favorable for sowing or landing, but the phase of the moon is not suitable, the planned work should be carried out on the last day of the satellite in this constellation.

Digging the soil is considered the most difficult work in autumn.

But now all the louder objections are heard against the annual shoveling of land in the plots. True, many summer residents find it difficult to imagine how heavy clay soils, fairly compacted as a result of abundant vegetative irrigation, can be left untreated.
Even those gardeners who have been purposefully improving the soil on their plots for a long time still dig up the beds every few years: despite the constant mulching, loosening the top layer with a flat cutter, the soil is compacted. A flat cutter is quite possible to do on light soils.
And in winter, mulch the beds with mown and dried grass, straw. In the spring, the mulch is not harvested, but only pushed apart to make the seed furrows. In such beds, the natural structure of the soil is not destroyed; rain and snow moisture is better preserved - the most favorable for the development of plants; useful microflora is more active, the number and activity of earthworms is higher.
The advantages of "not digging" are enough to start the experiment from at least one garden bed.
