Spring work in the fields. What spring work in the garden await summer residents? General cleaning in the garden

There is work in the garden at any time of the year. But in the spring there is especially a lot of it, besides, it is so joyful that even fatigue at the end of the working day is pleasant. After all, nature awakens and gives hope for good harvest, acquisition of new plants. There, a tree should give a harvest for the first year, here a flower of unprecedented beauty, for which it has been hunting for several years, will bloom. But that will be later. In the meantime, you need to help dreams come true.

The formation of the crown of trees and bushes begins in winter, in the snow, as soon as the threat of severe frosts has passed. The time required for pruning trees depends not only on the area of the garden and the number of trees in it, but also on how the tree crowns are properly formed at a young age.

If the gardener followed all the pruning rules, then in the spring you only need to adjust the process.

The tops that remained after the summer are removed. Of course, it is better to break them off at the beginning of summer, while they are still soft and not lignified. Remove broken, frost-damaged or diseased branches. Cut into the ring those that grow inside the crown or rub against neighboring branches. Most often these are tops that have not been noticed before.

Pruning Tips:

it is best to prune in the fall. But if you didn’t have time to do this, you need to hurry before the start of sap flow. Of course, he will "cry" a little, but it's still better than leaving the bush uncircumcised. All last year's lashes are cut into three buds.
and it is best to prune in the spring. But there is no fundamental difference for her. Cut according to type. Varieties that bear fruit once are cut to a height of 1.2 m, and with a tree-like crown, to 1.5 m. Lateral branches are left 20-25 cm long. The repair can be cut in two ways. If they want to collect two small crops, they leave the shoots of the last year. To get the maximum yield in the fall - cut the bush completely. Young shoots will be stronger and give a high yield. Dry blackberry stems are removed, last year's ones are tied up, cut to 1.2-1.5 m. Perhaps some of them will turn out to be frozen and will be cut out later.
Branches, gooseberries are cut to a third of the length of last year's growth. Cut out completely old branches. Branches of three years should remain in the bush (you can calculate by the number of annual growths).

Even in winter, seedlings of annual flowers are sown. As soon as the soil dries, viols dive, other biennials. At the end of April, young bushes are transplanted from the greenhouse where they were grown last year. Planting new trees and shrubs. Pits for this are best prepared in the fall. But this is rarely done. Often seedlings are planted in hastily prepared pits. The soil settles after a while, cutting off the roots. Therefore, it is better not to rush to buy seedlings before the prepared soil in the pit settles. Or buy and store in the cellar for a couple of weeks.

Landing Features:

The size of the hole matters a lot. It can be easily identified by looking at the root of the plant. The dimensions of the pit will be 2 times larger. They dig under tall trees with a diameter and depth of at least 1 m. For grapes and bushes, 60 cm will be enough.
The top layer of soil is laid separately. The earth is mixed with rotted manure, ash, a handful. You need to pay attention to the acidity of the soil. If it is acidic for the tree that will grow there, add slaked lime. A mound is formed at the bottom of the pit. A plant is placed on top of it, the roots are spread along the slopes of the mound. Install one or two pegs. They will serve as support for the tree. Carefully fall asleep with prepared soil. Tie up a tree.
when landing, lay at an angle of 45 degrees. And installed vertically.
Planted trees and bushes are plentifully watered and mulched with rotted manure. Bushes planted in autumn are pruned, leaving up to 4 large buds, from which branches will form in the future.
Bushes are planted shallow, because it is superficial. Watered, mulched with humus or peat. Then they are cut at a height of 40 cm. This will enable the root system to develop, and next year to please the harvest.
, can be grown as soon as the soil warms up and stops sticking together in the hands. You need to plant cannes, dahlias at the same time as potatoes. Annuals are planted depending on their frost resistance.

If the garden is threatened by return frosts, then you can save the trees with the help of smoke piles. To do this, last year's leaves are piled in heaps, which are set on fire when the temperature drops. Strawberries can be saved by covering the plants with old newspapers.

Competent work in the spring in the garden and vegetable garden are very important agrotechnical measures that allow you to perform the correct planting and get the highest possible yield.

Spring work in the garden and garden: when and where to start

Be sure to check and prepare for the upcoming season.

A number of activities are also required, including cleaning, pruning, removal of shelters, prevention, preparation for grafting and planting. As a rule, in the southern regions, such work can begin as early as March. IN middle lane our country and the northern regions, the deadlines are shifted by a couple of weeks.

gardening in spring

Start implementing the first spring work in the garden it is necessary with the onset of the first warm days and after the majority of the snow cover has disappeared.

Garden cleaning after winter

Cleaning consists in removing all plant debris, as well as revision of the soil and garden plantings in the country. It is early spring - the period of the appearance of the first weeds. Roots that are not yet strong enough are easily removed from moist spring soil. The first warm spring days provoke active growth of shoots not only on the soil, but also on the surface of garden paths, which should be thoroughly washed with a strong jet of water from an ordinary garden hose.

Should be remembered that any spring activities related to water should be carried out only at positive temperatures, which will prevent the formation of ice. All planting containers, as well as flowerpots, planters and flower pots, intended for growing plants in the coming season, also need revision, high-quality cleaning, and, if necessary, restoration of integrity.

Pruning fruit trees and shrubs

In the spring, in most cases, sanitary cleaning is carried out, as well as removal of all old and redundant shoots and branches:

annual raspberry shoots need to be crowned by cutting off the top five buds, which allows you to stimulate the formation of new root shoots. All frozen weakened shoots are subject to removal;
currant bushes thin out in spring. On chokeberry, branches older than seven years are removed. On bushes of red and white-fruited currants, branches older than ten years should be cut. You also need to cut out excess root shoots and weakened shoots. All frozen tops are cut;
starting from the age of three, it is required to thin out gooseberry bushes, as well as remove old branches and excess shoots, which improves the illumination of fruits and increases productivity;

it is necessary to do spring pruning of bushy varieties of cherries very carefully, removing thickening and old branches, taking into account fruiting on last year's peripheral branches. It is best to shorten in the summer, after fruiting;
the annual spring formation of fruit plantations allows maintaining the habitus and improves insolation of the aerial part. Any molding must be done with the determination of the direction of growth processes of skeletal branches;
plums are best grown in stems, as bushy forms thicken faster and become less fruitful. Formation begins almost immediately after planting seedlings on permanent place, which will allow you to create a productive crown by four to five years.

It is possible to form a crown of fruit trees in a tiered-sparse, horizontal or saucer-shaped, as well as a vertical or palmette version.

Rules and terms for removing winter shelters

or special designs must be inspected, thoroughly cleaned and rinsed.

After winter shelters dry, they can be put away for storage until the autumn cold. From the garden area, necessarily old and cut branches in the process of spring formation, fallen leaves and withered grass, as well as any other debris of plant and non-plant origin.

March in the country: protecting plants from sunburn in early spring

In the first decade of March, the illumination increases, therefore, in the daytime, the stem part and branches of garden plantations are able to warm up significantly, therefore, during night frosts, the heated wood dies off. Darkening, peeling and cracking are observed on areas with sunburn.

Whitewashing the trunk and branching of skeletal branches effectively reduces the heating of the bark. It is best to whitewash garden plantings in the fall or in the last decade of February, choosing a dry and sunny day for this purpose. Before proceeding with processing, it is necessary to revise the plants and, if necessary, take preventive or therapeutic measures. Whitewashing can be done with acrylic water-dispersion paint "VD-AK 0508" or "Dekoprof" means. It is also allowed to tie the stem part with white parchment.

How and how to treat trees in the spring from pests

The processing time varies depending on the type of plants and the composition of the solutions used for spraying:

prevention of fungal diseases, damage by mosses and lichens before bud break, copper sulphate, diluted at the rate of 100-150 g per bucket of water;
spraying the vine and soil around before bud break from bacterial cancer, spotted necrosis and anthracnose with iron sulphate at the rate of 200 g per bucket of water;
mandatory processing of garden plantings before flowering from California scale insects, suckers, mites, weevils and flower beetles "Iskra-M", "Fufanon", "Iskra-double effect", "Karbofos", "Aliot" or "Biotlin";
processing currants with "Commander", "Bison", "Tanrek", "Iskra Zolotoy" or "Inta-Vir" on blossoming buds and first leaves;
processing gooseberries with "Topaz" or "Soon" before flowering.

It is also necessary to spray peach, apricot and cherry in order to protect against maniliosis, curliness and clasterosporiasis with "Horus", "Cuprolux", "Abiga-Peak" or "Ordan" after flowering.

Grafting and planting trees

As a rule, by the first decade of May, the planting of fruit and berry trees and shrubs is already over, and the time for grafting has come. It is best to perform such an event when the buds swell and slightly begin to open on the selected rootstocks. Spring grafting can be done in several ways:

Copulation;
butt;
split;
saddle;
In a side cut.

Regardless of the method used, a prerequisite for obtaining a good result is the use of quality tool and special grafting tape.

Things to do in the garden in spring

In the spring, it is time for the main preparatory activities in the garden and in greenhouses. During this period, you need to pay attention to winter crops, perennial crops, as well as prepare open ground ridges and in greenhouses for planting and sowing.

Main activities

The garden is cleared of debris and plant residues. It is also required to remove all the shelters that were covered on winter period winter crops and the least cold-resistant garden crops.

As soon as the greenhouse soil warms up, it is necessary to dig it into one bayonet of a shovel. At the same time, the main fertilizers are required:

on cucumber ridges is applied to each square meter about 5–6 kg of high-quality humus, with the addition of 50 g of any complex fertilizer and a couple of glasses of wood ash;
on ridges prepared for growing tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, the dose of humus will need to be halved;
when preparing “warm ridges”, the top 15 cm of soil should be removed, after which the biomass should be laid and sprinkled with a layer of fertile soil.

In the same period, film garden structures should be prepared. The time of stretching the film cover on the greenhouses must be calculated in such a way that in the last ten days of April it would be possible to sow the most cold-resistant and early ripening garden crops.

Important check the condition of the aerial part of the garden berries and replace the old mulch layer. It is best to use organic matter as mulch, presented:

sawdust;
compost;
tree bark and chips;
straw;
rotted leaves.

A good result is the use of a mulching covering fabric. In March or April, garden soil is fertilized with complex universal fertilizers "Nitroammofoska" or "Azofoska".

When to start planting in the country

Sowing and planting cold-resistant garden crops should be done while the soil is still in a soft and plastic state. During such a period, the soil is already warm enough and contains the amount of moisture that is optimal for the growth and development of crops.

It is recommended to dig the earth immediately before sowing or planting, which will not allow moisture to evaporate. If necessary, all dug-up ridges, in order to preserve moisture, must be covered with plastic wrap before sowing, which is fixed with stones.

The harvest will depend on how correctly and in a timely manner the entire volume of spring work in gardens and orchards will be carried out. That is why the spring period is the most responsible time for everyone who is engaged in private gardening and vegetable growing.

Hello dear friends!

So the winter is over. A new summer season begins, with its pleasant chores and diverse efforts to obtain excellent harvests of vegetables, berries and fruits. Let's talk about what gardening in early spring it is advisable to carry out in order to reduce your load later when the hottest time comes for digging the earth and creating new beds, planting seedlings and sowing various crops, weeding and watering.

Until the snow melts experienced gardeners store it in water containers (barrels, cisterns, bathtubs, etc.). When landing vegetable crops in greenhouses or in April on the beds, melt water will come in handy.

Pruning and fertilizing trees and shrubs

Before the start of sap flow, pruning of trees and fruit bushes (deciduous) should be carried out. This can be done on the first warm days, even if there is still snow. It is better to carry out this work in the morning, while the ground is frozen and the snow is dense, so that it is convenient to walk around the site.

First of all, large branches are removed. Then it is necessary to carefully examine the bark of trees, and, if infected areas are found, it must be cleaned. Extra branches, as well as damaged, broken during the winter, dry, brittle or diseased, are also subject to pruning and subsequent burning.

Coniferous trees and shrubs, if any, are pruned much later - in April-May. While there is snow, trees and shrubs should be fed. After the snow melts, loosen the ground in the trunk circles and carefully water each tree.

General cleaning in the garden

This stage of work is the most time-consuming, it is carried out after the snow has completely melted. Even if in late autumn you freed the site from fallen leaves and put things in full order, all the same, various garden debris accumulates during the winter: large mulch (spruce branches, tree branches), which is sometimes used to cover beds and hold snow on them, windbreak, the remains of various shelters and supports, etc.

Trunk whitewashing

This advice is for those summer residents who did not carry out autumn whitewashing of tree trunks, and also did not do this type of work in February. To fruit trees did not suffer from the bright spring sun, you need to wrap their trunks with light paper or newspapers just above the ground surface.

It will be possible to remove this protective cover just before whitewashing, which is carried out after the snow melts and the temperature rises above + 5 ° C. But you should not delay with whitewashing, it needs to be done before the awakening of the kidneys and the appearance of the first greenery, because after the earth warms up, pests that have overwintered in it will wake up from hibernation. Do not forget to repair wounds and other deep damage on trees. Whitewashing is especially important for young plants.

Treatment of trees with insecticides

When the average daily temperature reaches + 5 ° C, spraying is carried out garden trees and shrubs against infectious diseases and dangerous insects. This work must be done before the first leaves appear.

Insecticide treatment is necessary against pests and clutches of their eggs wintering on the bark of trees: apple sucker, all varieties of aphids, fruit mites, apple moth (caterpillars), leafworms, etc.

Planting and transplanting plants

Early spring- a great time to plant new shrubs (raspberries, currants, gooseberries, sakura), fruit trees and flowers. The most active growth and development of the root system of plants occurs at soil temperatures from +5°C to +12°C, and this happens either in autumn or early spring. It is believed that it is preferable to plant shrubs and trees in the spring, since in the fall the new inhabitants of your garden do not have enough time to adapt before the onset of stable cold weather.

Other works

Lilies and daffodils are quite hardy, so when the snow layer becomes very thin or it melts completely, these plants can be freed from winter shelters.

At the end of February, vegetable crops are sown for seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, etc.), which will be planted in open ground at the end of frost or in greenhouses (much earlier).

With the advent of spring, not only nature comes to life, but our favorite garden plots, as well as ourselves. This period is the revival of new forces and a surge of joy from communion with the earth. I wish you good luck gardening in early spring and good harvest to you next season! See you!

Long before the arrival of spring, summer residents are thinking about how to plan their classes for this difficult time. After all, even before the end of frost and before the onset of persistent heat, you need to do a lot of things in the garden and in the garden, prepare the soil for growing crops and plants for a new life cycle. And in order for this process to be successful, you need to schedule all the upcoming classes for yourself in advance, adjusted for the time of year and the type of feasible tasks. So, the topic of our conversation today will be spring work in the garden and garden, consider the calendar of spring work in the garden and garden.

Spring work in the garden and garden

Spring work in the garden

Spring is characterized by a constant alternation of frosts and thaws. And such temperature fluctuations are very dangerous for plants. After all, the melted snow is again covered with a crust of ice, which is why the root system and lawn grasses enough air is no longer supplied. This is fraught with growth disorders and even death of many plants. That is why the resulting ice crust must be broken as it forms.

Also, it will not be superfluous to dump snow from the crowns of trees. After all, March snow gains moisture in the thaw, which increases its weight by an order of magnitude and can lead to branch fractures.

In the spring, rodents become especially active, hungry for a long and cold winter. That is why it is worth periodically trampling the snow near tree trunks, this will prevent damage to the bark.

With the beginning of spring, coniferous trees that are in open areas garden plot may be burned by the sun's rays. If you pulled the bark of conifers with twine before severe frosts, wrap them with burlap or some other covering material that protects from ultraviolet radiation. It is also possible to apply protective screens- they will create a shadow. Such shelters must be removed after the snow breaks up.

Too sharp an increase in air temperature in spring before the ground thaws can also harm conifers. After all, the needles at this stage begin to actively release oxygen, while the roots cannot provide the plants with a sufficient amount of moisture. Conifers at the same time suffer as if from dehydration. To preserve the plants, it is advisable to water them with lukewarm water immediately after the snow melts.

The bright spring sun can also harm fruit trees. If in the fall you did not whitewash the trees and did not renew the whitewash in February, it is worth rewinding the trunks higher with light paper or newspapers. Such dressings must be removed from the beginning of April. And after the snow melts and the temperature rises (up to + 5C or more), renew the whitewash. It is advisable to carry out such a manipulation before the leaves bloom.

After the warm days come, but the snow has not yet had time to completely melt, you can start pruning the trees in the garden. Of course, you need to cope with such an activity before the start of sap flow. Prune in the morning, while remembering that you cannot thin out a heavily thickened crown at a time. This occupation should take you two or three years. Otherwise, the trees will be greatly weakened due to numerous wounds. Start with large branches.

While there is still a lot of snow on the site, store it in different containers. This will come in handy when planting in greenhouses or in beds.

After the snow melts, mulch tree trunks, as well as shrubs and perennial crops. Create beauty all around! As it is worth using fresh compost, sawdust, bark, wood chips, straw, rotted leaves or covering cloth.

In addition, immediately after the snow melts, young seedlings should be planted. Planting should be done while such plants are at rest, they should not have buds.

With the beginning of sap flow, graft the trees with pre-prepared cuttings for grafting.

Be sure to clean containers, flowerpots, and flower pots. Restore their integrity and treat with herbicides.

Toward the end of March (based on the weather), you should start airing roses covered for the winter and other heat-loving plants (rhododendrons, hydrangeas, etc.). It is best to ventilate them in sunny weather, when the temperature rises above zero. Such activities will provide plants with access to oxygen, prevent the accumulation of condensate, and accustom the plants to heat.

Be sure to take care of the removal of melt water from the lowlands of the garden, if necessary. Indeed, in such water there is practically no oxygen, and because of its stagnation, the roots of various trees can suffocate.

If the snow in the areas is especially active, the beds with plants planted before winter may be exposed (perennial plants may also suffer). To prevent their freezing, it is quite possible to sprinkle the beds with peat chips or cover with a film.

After the layer of snow thins or completely melts, free the daffodils, as well as lilies, from shelter. They do well in light frosts.

After the average daily temperature reaches five degrees above zero, it is worthwhile to carry out the first spraying of trees in the garden from pests and various ailments. Before the buds open, treat the trees with insecticides. Such activities will help to cope with the eggs of the apple sucker, scale insects, various aphids, fruit mites, leafworms and caterpillars of the apple moth wintering on the bark.

In April, it is imperative to process the bushes, as well as. Bushes need to be equipped with props as needed, and raspberries need to be tied up.

In March or April, it is necessary to start feeding the soil. The most commonly used are potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. They can be purchased in the form of granules (Nitroammophoska or Azofoska), combined with water, or simply scattered over the soil along with melting snow.

Spring work in the garden

It is necessary to prepare for work in the garden from February. It is in this month that you should start preparing the seeds. Sort them out, keep them warm. Soon you will need to start planting seedlings.

In the southern territories, already in February, it is necessary to free up space on the site for planting various cold-resistant crops, represented by parsley, dill, onions, radishes and peas. You can clear the snow yourself small plot a garden designed for such crops, so the soil will thaw and warm much faster.

In the last month of winter, it is worth building a greenhouse. Of course, it is too early to sow the seeds of tomatoes and peppers, you can only sow early cabbage. In any case, the greenhouse should be prepared in advance, so the soil under it will have time to warm up.

It is worth doing more and planting seedlings, before it is planted in the soil, another two months should pass.

With the advent of spring comes the hottest time for work in the garden. As the snow melts, it is necessary to thoroughly clean up - remove winter debris from the beds. It is extremely important to get rid of insects and larvae on the ground. The banal removal of all living things in the beds will help you reduce the number of pests by an order of magnitude. If you find that weeds have sprouted in your area, remove them from damp soil.

In the spring, it is also necessary to start applying organic fertilizers. Even before the start spring plantings it is necessary to saturate the soil with a sufficient amount of nutrients. For this purpose, it is necessary to use ready-made compost, you can also stock up on purchased peat or rotted manure (humus).

In the event that the soil in your garden is heavy, it is necessary to add coarse sand and / or fine gravel to it. Such a measure will help moisture linger in the soil for a long time, and nutrients- on the surface of the beds.

An important event is also considered to be loosening the soil in the beds. According to experts, the constant digging of the soil in the garden does not bring any benefit, such a measure significantly disrupts the structure of the earth and leads to the fact that the nutrients go deep into the soil. At the same time, loosening to a shallow depth (about ten centimeters) will be a wonderful way to prepare the soil for the upcoming planting work. After all, loose soil is porous and granular, thanks to which the roots of plants feel great, actively gain strength and grow.

In the spring, it is also necessary to take care of the inspection of the lawns after the winter. All last year's grass should be removed with a rake, and potholes should be covered with earth, mixing it with sand (in equal proportions). The entire surface of the lawns must be sprinkled with fine sand, it is also important to level the surface. On the bald spots that have arisen, fresh seeds of the lawn mixture should be planted.

After the snow melts and warm days are established, you should start sowing cold-resistant plants, including onions, parsley, and dill. Towards the end of March, beets can also be sown. In the south, radishes are already planted at this time. But such areas must be covered with a dark film, so weak sprouts will not freeze, and the soil will be able to warm up under the sun.

Closer to April, it is worth getting potato tubers from the basement, they should have time to sprout.

Form an approximate scheme of beds for planting. If your site is uneven, you need to arrange the rows so that they run across the slope. In order to get perfectly even beds, pull the twine on pegs or draw grooves with a special marker. It should be noted that in the swampy area it is necessary to make the beds higher, and in the dry - low.

Toward the end of April, it is necessary to start planting mid-ripening varieties of cabbage, as well as tarragon and onions for sets and turnips. Just at this time, crops are planted, represented by anise, peas, common beans, mustard, parsnips, radishes, table turnips, coriander, root chicory, asparagus, spinach, etc.

In April, it is necessary to take care of the growing seedlings. And in greenhouses, as well as in greenhouses, you can plant tomatoes and cucumbers. Closer to May, it is worth planting prepared tubers of early potatoes in the ground.

In the last month of spring, mass planting of the remaining seeds, as well as seedlings, should be done. Seedlings must first be hardened, the boxes must be removed from warm window sills and taken out for a while to a glazed balcony. The period of stay in cool air should be gradually increased.

Gardeners who planted cold-resistant plants in March can start harvesting the first crops of radishes and herbs (dill, parsley and onions).
In May, it is necessary to start planting cabbage seedlings in open ground, you should also sow radishes for a second crop and plant medium-late varieties of potatoes.
In the south, grown tomato seedlings are advised to be planted in open ground from the beginning of May, as for central Russia, it is better not to rush with this process. Cover the seedlings with foil until the middle of the month. Remember to provide support tall varieties tomatoes, plant them near the fence or prepare special pegs and stretch the wire.

By the month of May, you should also start thinning out carrots and beets that have already risen in unison. And closer to the middle or towards the end of the month, it is advisable to plant seedlings of sweet pepper, as well as eggplant.

It is worth noting that by the end of May, a drought may begin in many areas. Under such conditions, planted plants will need regular watering. Install an irrigation system in your area, such as drip irrigation.

You should not get carried away with mineral feeding of plants, where it is better to underfeed them or overfeed them. So, if you added fertilizer when digging the garden, you do not need to feed the crops additionally when planting seedlings.

Here is such a calendar of spring work in the garden and garden, such work on the ground. Spring time requires a lot of effort from gardeners and gardeners. But if you plan this period correctly, the results will surely please you.

Spring work in the garden

Work in the country after the winter begins with the care of the garden. It is important not to miss precious time, since many activities need to be carried out before active sap flow and swelling of the kidneys. The health of trees and shrubs depends on how well the spring work in the garden is done.

Spring work in the garden

With the advent of spring, the first thing to do is to clear the garden of last year's foliage, windbreak and other debris that has accumulated over the winter. In plant residues, spores of fungal diseases and pest larvae can overwinter, so they are taken out of the site and burned. As the air temperature rises, winter shelters are gradually removed from trees and shrubs.

Before the start of sap flow, it is necessary to prune fruit and ornamental plants in the garden. Young seedlings, as well as ornamental early-flowering shrubs, are not pruned in spring; only damaged branches can be removed from them. For fruit trees, shaping and rejuvenating pruning is carried out.

Early spring is the time for the prevention of garden diseases and pests. Before the buds swell, the trees are sprayed with iron sulfate, Bordeaux liquid or urea to destroy the fungal pores. If an invasion of pests was noticed in the previous year, the garden is treated with Agrovertin, Iskra-Bio, or Fitoverm.

Tree trunks need protection in spring. After the winter, wind breaks and frost cracks may appear on them, which must be covered with clay mash or garden pitch. To protect against pests, trees are whitewashed with special paints, or "in the old fashioned way" they use lime mortar with the addition of blue vitriol.

Fruit trees are grafted in April. First stone fruits, and a little later pome fruits. As a scion, pre-harvested cuttings or material after early spring pruning are used.

In the spring, plants in the garden need top dressing. Dry nitrogen-containing fertilizers (urea, ammophoska, ammonium nitrate) are scattered around the perimeter of the crown. After that, surface loosening of the soil is carried out, closing up fertilizers. From organics, you can make an infused solution of chicken manure or rotted manure. After fertilization, the soil under the trees and bushes is mulched with humus.

Work in the garden in the spring does not stop even after the beginning of flowering trees. Recurrent frosts often occur, and fumigation of gardens with smoke bombs or bonfires is used to protect against them. Reduce exposure low temperatures a humid environment also helps, so they put water containers under the trees, spill the soil and wet the branches.

Work in the garden in spring

In the garden in spring, there is no less trouble than in the garden. During this period, it is necessary to carefully prepare the soil for planting vegetables in order to get a good harvest. As soon as the snow melts, the beds are cleared of debris accumulated over the winter. It is advisable to burn the waste outside the site to prevent the spread of diseases and pests wintering in them. Cleans not only the soil, but also garden paths, on which garden debris accumulates and moss can grow.

After completing the cleaning, bring mineral fertilizers. In the spring, urea, nitrophoska, ammophoska and other fertilizers containing potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen are used. When the soil dries out a little, compost or humus is added. After that, the beds are dug up or deeply loosened. During loosening, young shoots of weeds must be immediately removed, as well as pests encountered.

Spring work in the garden and vegetable garden includes activities to improve the structure of the soil. River sand, ripened humus, and small sawdust are added to areas with heavy soil. Clay is added to sandy soil to make it more moisture-intensive. If necessary, regulate the acidity of the soil. Lime, ash, or dolomite flour are added for deoxidation, and sulfur (70 g per sq.m), malic or acetic acid is used to increase the pH level (acidification).

When the soil is prepared and fertilized, beds can be laid out on the site. For landing early vegetables create artificial heating of the soil. To do this, the beds are covered with dark material (black agrofiber or polyethylene) about two weeks before sowing.

When working in the garden in spring, special attention should be paid to beds with strawberries and raspberries. Shelter is removed from strawberries, dead bushes are removed, the soil is loosened and mulched. Raspberries are tied to trellises and sanitary pruning is carried out.

In the spring, cold-resistant vegetables and greens are sown in the garden: radishes, peas, lettuce, sorrel, onions, early carrots, beets. These crops develop well and yield even when sown in cold ground.

In flower beds in the spring, division of the rhizomes of perennials is carried out. Plants with overwintering foliage are renewed by removing frozen and damaged shoots, and plantings of early-flowering bulbs are loosened. Complexes of mineral fertilizers are introduced into flower beds as top dressings. To prevent diseases, flower beds are treated with copper-containing preparations.

Lawn care after winter

With the advent of spring, the lawn comes to life. Already at a temperature of plus 5 degrees Celsius, the grass begins to grow and requires attention. As soon as the snowmelt begins, mineral fertilizers are scattered over the lawn, which are dominated by nitrogen: ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, urea.

Cleaning the lawn begins after the soil dries. Leaves and debris are raked with a fan rake, after which scarification is performed. This procedure is also called "combing", is performed with a garden rake, a special manual fixture, or a scarifier device. It is necessary in order to break the integrity of the dense grass turf, renew it, and enable young shoots to develop.

After stratification, it is necessary to carry out aeration - piercing the turf and the top layer of soil to saturate the soil with oxygen. Do this using a pitchfork, an aerator or special shoe covers.

After cleaning, potholes are clearly visible, which may remain from accidental movement on a damp lawn, or when the soil settles. If the turf layer is not broken, it is dug up and sand is poured under it. Damaged areas of the lawn are cut out with a shovel and removed, the resulting pits are also covered with sand. After that, they are sown to restore a uniform lawn.

Outcome

With the advent of spring, it is necessary to pay attention to the garden and prepare fruit trees and bushes for the new growing season. In the garden, you need to improve the quality of the soil so that the vegetables give a good harvest, and in flower beds, take care of perennials. Gardening in the spring is hard work, but the end result will be a well-groomed yard with strong, healthy plants.

Spring is a period of rebirth of nature from hibernation. Everyone is looking forward to her arrival, the appearance of the first emerald greenery on the sun-warmed earth, trees and bushes, the fresh scents of foliage and first flowers. For summer residents, this is also the need to prepare their land plots to plantings, so it’s wrong to say that there is less work in the garden in spring than in autumn. Now you will see for yourself.

Stages of spring gardening

This article is a small exemplary instruction for the phased implementation of spring events that guarantee favorable conditions for the plant life of the garden. Adapt it to the specific situation in your region, and you will be able to exploit your land in the most efficient way.

Attention!
The timing of the start of spring work depends on the climatic zone in which the summer cottage is located, with an eye to the weather conditions of the current season.

March

Work in the garden in early spring, this is the time when the snow begins to melt.

At this stage, the main tasks of the gardener:

Try to slow down the melt water from the slope as much as possible. To do this, it is necessary to arrange rolls and furrows located along the slopes along the entire height.
In low-lying areas, on the contrary, we clean existing and organize new drainage grooves.
It is better to free young trees from snow that has covered the crown, since when melting, the resulting crust can harm them.
Snow crusts are loosened with a pitchfork or sprinkled with peat which speeds up melting.

For your information!
Many mistakenly believe that slowing down the melting of snow under the trees improves the situation.
Not at all, this can only do harm, since the crowns of trees, warmed up by the sun, wake up and require moisture and nutrition from the root system.
But this is difficult, since the ground is still frozen.

In March, you need to make sure how well the trees overwintered. This can be checked in places that appear visually damaged by making a shallow longitudinal incision. If no blackness is found at the cut site, its shade is close to light green, then everything is in order, the wintering was successful.

At the very beginning of spring, there is a danger for trees to get sunburn on boles and at the base of branches. Such a phenomenon is possible due to a sharp difference in day and night temperatures at this time; whitewashing trunks and fork branches will help to avoid such damage.

March ends with pest control by spraying with a solution of copper sulfate.

April

Main garden work in the spring of this month, yes bud swelling should be performed:

Dry, inanimate branches are cut off at all. The bark around the kidneys is removed.

Cleaning of the soil surface in the garden continues. Everything superfluous is raked from the dried-up earth and burned.

Further cleaning and treatment work is carried out:
If trees or bushes in the garden have previously been affected by aphids, mites, psyllids or suckers, they are sprayed with nitrofen just before the buds swell.

If there are gnawed areas, hollows and wounds on the trunks and branches of plants, they must first be cleared, then disinfected and covered with petrolatum (garden pitch).

The discovered ovipositions of the ringed silkworm are removed along with the branches.

At the end of the preventive pest control measures, it is time to feed the plants:

To stimulate the active growth and development of shoots on pome trees, 1/2 of the annual norm of nitrogen-containing fertilizers is applied in April.

After fertilizing the soil under the trees at the end of April with organic, phosphorus - and potassium-containing fertilizers, it is dug up.
Estimated consumption of fertilizers per 1 m2 of soil:
1/2 cup superphosphate.

1/2 cup potassium sulfate or 1/5 cup potassium chloride (can be replaced with 2-3 cups of wood ash).

One bucket of organic fertilizers (when using peat or humus, you can not dig the soil and leave them on the surface as mulch).

Young and fruit-bearing bushes in the last days of April are also fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers, loosening the soil under them to retain moisture and apply top dressing.

Attention!
Remember that the fertilization of mature trees is carried out locally in the area of the vertical projection of the plant crown on the ground with a spade of no more than 50-100 cm.

At the end of April, you can start planting gooseberry and blackcurrant seedlings. Plants are planted on the plots prepared in autumn for shrubs, followed by watering and mulching the soil under them. Shrubs planted in autumn are heavily pruned, leaving 2 to 4 well-developed buds on the shoots.

In the same period, they take care of fruit-bearing and plant young raspberry bushes:

Pure-bred, healthy seedlings are placed in beaten, even grooves with a stem base immersed by 2-3 cm. Raspberry seedling sites must be properly prepared in the fall and generously fertilized.

The soil near the plants is watered and mulched with peat.

Then the bushes are cut, leaving a height of 40 cm.

Overwintered raspberry shoots are lifted, untied and cut to the first living bud untouched by frost.

Damaged, diseased, poorly developed, as well as unnecessary shoots should be removed, viable ones should be tied to a trellis.

May

Perhaps the most responsible period for every gardener who cultivates and cares for plants with his own hands is considered to be May.

The price of the correct holding of May events is the success of the entire summer season as a whole.

Before flowering, all trees must be watered at the rate of two buckets multiplied by the age of the plant.

If the foliage on the trees is paler than usual, additional fertilizing with nitrogen should be performed.

The end of May is suitable for propagation of berry crops by layering. To do this, the strongest one-year-old branch is bent over and pinned into a groove, sprinkled with soil.

We continue to take care of the garden, not forgetting about garden care, taking into account the principles of crop rotation. The health of all plants, their proper development and a good harvest depend on the correctness and timeliness of the work done in the spring in the garden and vegetable garden.

Conclusion

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in preparing the land for summer season no, all the actions that need to be taken do not require any monetary or physical costs. But no matter how simple it all seems, it is imperative to perform the above actions, unless, of course, you want to reap a good harvest and enjoy the fruits of your work in winter.

In the presented video in this article you will find Additional information on this topic.

Teacher (U):

Spring has come. The hot time has come, the time of great worries.

How do you understand the saying: "Spring feeds the year"? slide number 1

- What do you think, what will be discussed in today's lesson, what is the topic of the lesson?

About spring work.

ll . Learning new material.

Please open the textbook on p. 72, look at the illustrations. Try to tell me what kind of work will be discussed in the lesson?

(Remember that when working in a group, you must work together)

D: children's stories

People understand that spring feeds the year. They try not to miss more than one day: they germinate the seeds, prepare the soil for sowing, sow the seeds in the ground. In the fields where rye and wheat have been sown since autumn, winter crops rise and turn green like green velvet. slide number 2

Why do you think they are called winter crops?

- Winter plants are sown in the fall, they germinate before the onset of winter, and continue their growth in the spring. life cycle and ripen somewhat earlier, Chemyaraceae are annual crops sown in spring.

Tractor drivers leave the field and plow the land, what do you think for what? slide number 3

So that the soil is soft, loose for better seed germination.

W: But after the field has been plowed, it needs to be made even softer, for this it is harrowed slide No. 4

Guys, how do you think, how is the sowing of rye or wheat seeds?

Since the fields are very large, a person cannot cope without the help of a seeder machine, it goes into the fields and scatters grains. slide number 5

After conducting the experiment, we can say what is needed for the seeds to germinate?

Light, air and water

There is always light and air, but what if it rains infrequently and the plants lack moisture?

Watering

People come to the aid of plants. They install watering machines on the fields, irrigate the land. slide number 6

Irrigate means water, let's repeat this word to remember IRRIGATE.

With proper care from small seeds in the fall, people get a rich harvest.

Guys, what do you think, in addition to fields and gardens, what other spring work is there?

Remove last year's foliage, whiten trees Slide number 7

And who knows why people whitewash tree trunks?

Rid them of pests, for beauty.

Well done, guys, today we will also do spring work, who guessed what?

lll . Practical work.

Group work.

For practical work, a box, soil and seeds have been prepared for each group.

Tractors and machines will work in the fields all spring. But not only in the fields, work is in full swing. All rural residents are waiting for work in the gardens. IN warm earth ask for vegetable seeds: carrots, beets, cucumbers, radishes, peas, beans. It is very important to properly prepare the seeds for sowing.

While the seed is at rest, the processes of vital activity proceed in it sluggishly and it is very difficult to notice them, but as soon as the seed gets into favorable conditions, they are activated, and the seed germinates and gives life to a new plant.

Let's think about how we will act, what to do.

What needs to be done first?

1. Pour earth into the box;

2. Align it;

4. Make a groove;

5. We put the seeds at a distance of 3 cm from each other;

6. We cover the seeds with a layer of earth.

There are signs on the table, what do you think they are for?

On the plates we will write down the name of the plant, the date of sowing, as well as on reverse side we will write down the names of the members of the group.

And why do you need to write down the names of children?

To know who should take care of the plants.

That's right, guys, as soon as the plants gain strength and it gets warmer outside, we will transfer our seedlings to the club, something will remain on the windowsills.

lV Summary of the lesson.

What kind of work do people do in the spring?

How is the soil prepared for sowing?

What conditions are necessary for seed germination?

V. Reflection.

Options are written on the board:

Here comes the spring. First warm Sun rays give us joy and awaken from hibernation the first spring flowers, buds begin to swell on the trees. It's time to get out of our apartments and go to the country, put everything in order so that she pleases us with her colors and fruits.

What to do at the dacha in March?

March - the beginning of spring, it can still be cold, and periodically accompanied by frosts. It is not yet so warm to start planting work in the country, but you can already safely go and start cleaning and preparing the cottage for the summer season.

When we arrive at the dacha, the first thing we do is clean up the area, since old leaves could remain in the fall, and dust and debris accumulated over the winter.

Inspect your buildings, maybe they need some kind of repair. It's time for a general cleaning country house. Decide what needs to be painted and whitewashed. Buy the necessary products and put your cottage in order.

Also take care of inventory. See if something is broken for you, you need to fix it or buy new tools for the garden. When checking, please note that each dacha must have the following tools: a shovel, a rake, buckets, choppers, a pruner, an ax.

Also, when you arrive at the cottage, keep in mind that you will need things for work. It is up to you to decide what clothes will be, but in the spring it should be warm, as the heat on the street is deceptive. Make sure that things cover your back, because when you bend over, your back may be open, and this will lead to illness.

Also get yourself gloves for working on the site, preferably several pairs. Please note that shoes should be warm and comfortable. Bring to the cottage rubber boots, you will need them for work in the country in the spring, as well as in the summer after heavy rain.

Also, be sure to bring personal hygiene products: soap to wash your hands and be sure to take hand cream, as the skin of the hands, when working in the summer cottage, quickly becomes weathered and requires enhanced care.

Decide where and what you will plant. Prepare the site for planting. Maybe somewhere you need to dig up the earth or break up large pieces of earth.

Before planting seedlings, the seeds must be processed. To do this, sort out the seeds, that is, select the largest and healthiest. Warm them up on the heater for several hours. In a glass of water, add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of salt and dip the seeds there, bad seeds will float to the top, remove them. Next, put the seeds in cheesecloth on a germination dish. Also, the seeds must be hardened by putting them in the refrigerator for several hours. Your seeds are now ready to be planted. You plant them in a greenhouse or greenhouse, or in wooden boxes you collect land in advance, dry it, and sow seeds there. Then put the boxes in a warm room on the window so that they get sunlight.

Also in March, according to the same principle, it is already possible to prepare annual flowers, such as asters, petunias, marigolds, for their future planting in open ground. The soil must first be fertilized. It is better to fertilize it in March, when the ground is still frozen.

If you grow dahlias, begonias, gladioli on your site, then in March it’s time to take them out to a warm, bright place, check all the roots, sort out the damaged ones, and plant them in prepared soil in boxes for germination and future transplanting into open ground.

In March, you should have time to sow seeds, repair and remove outbuildings, fix inventory, prepare and fertilize the land.

April classes

In April, spring is felt on the street, and there are no big frosts anymore, the plants are awakening from hibernation. At this time, you can already begin to remove the coatings that you did in the vineyard, roses, so that they do not freeze in winter.

The earth has already warmed up a little by the rays of the sun, but not yet enough to start planting work. But by mid-April, you can already begin to break greenhouses or hotbeds for sowing seeds and planting seedlings from boxes.

If you grow vegetables, then make a greenhouse. It must stand for several days under a closed film so that the earth warms up in it. Next, you can plant seeds for seedlings.

In April, trees and shrubs need to be put in order, since they have not yet awakened from winter, and you will not harm them. View all your trees in the country and shrubs. Cut dry branches, cut the crown with pruners, remove the branches growing inside the crown. Also, in order to neutralize your trees from insects, you need to treat the trunks with special preparations.

April is a good month for planting trees. If you decide to update your garden, April is the month when they can be planted, shrubs are also planted.

Along with this, strawberries and raspberries are prepared for the summer season in April. You need to check all the strawberries, remove the extra antennae, thin out. In raspberries, remove dry stems and thin out if raspberries grow densely.

Summer cottage action plan for May

May is the most active month for working at the dacha. Also during this period, insects and garden pests wake up.

Check currants for mites. Kidneys that are with ticks are different from other kidneys - they are larger in size. Collect them and burn them, in no case should you throw such kidneys on the land or in the compost. When the currant begins to bloom, make sure that there are no dirty pink flowers. If you find such inflorescences, be sure to dig up and burn the bush, as this disease quickly spreads through the plants and all bushes will die completely.

Seedlings in greenhouses and greenhouses also require inspection, if during the inspection you see that the leaves are twisted down, or there are strongly convex gaps on the leaves, this means that there is a spider mite on the seedlings. Please note that aphids may appear on the pepper. If the seedlings are damaged, treat them with biological preparations against ticks and aphids.

In May, you also need to feed the seedlings, if the seedlings look sluggish and their leaves turn yellow, feed them with special means.

In mid-May, you can start planting seedlings on the ground. Before planting, prepare a place and holes for seedlings, pour water into it. Since in summer the moisture quickly disappears and leaves the soil, in order to water the plants less often and the moisture remains longer, you need to mulch the soil. To do this, use high-moor peat, or you can lay it with dry grass, or even a newspaper. Keep in mind that tomatoes will like this coating, as they grow better (if the moisture goes deep, their root system improves). Eggplants and peppers do not like this technology, they need daily watering, but moderate, as they grow better when the soil surface is moist.

It is also time to plant annual plants in the ground: parsley and dill. Be sure to water the seedlings before planting so as not to disturb the root system.

Potatoes are best planted at the moment when the bird cherry blossoms. Before planting, potatoes need to be prepared two weeks in advance: sorted out and put in a warm place for germination. When disembarking, keep in mind that the ground should already be 12-15 degrees. Do not plant potatoes deep, about half a shovel bayonet. When planting, you can immediately fertilize the potatoes, put wood ash or straw in the hole, which will give warmth and fertilizer to the potatoes throughout the spring.

So you need to process trees and shrubs from pests. Spraying against pests should be done at the beginning of flowering and repeated after two weeks.

May is also a good month for grafting trees. If you planned to plant trees, do it in May. When grafting, pay attention that the moon is not growing, as the trees fall under the influence of the moon. With the growth of the moon, the juice in the trees is more in the branches, when the moon decreases, the juice comes to the root system.

Another main pest of the garden and vegetable garden are ants. If you find ants on the bushes, put a rag soaked in kerosene next to the bush, this smell will drive the ants away from the bush. How to remove an anthill? You can treat it with special means against ants, preferably those that are added to food bait for ants. Since the ant shares his food with all the ants, he will not only die himself, but his fellows too.

Let's talk about gardening

Throughout the spring, you need to maintain the garden and help the plants to ripen better. For spring work, do the following:

Feed your plants. Even if the soil is good and fertile, be sure to feed the trees and shrubs. The fertilizer consists of a mixture of nutrient elements for growth: potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. Phosphorus promotes the growth of the root system and shoots, nitrogen is responsible for the saturation of greenery, potassium is important for the formation of flowers and fruits. When fertilizing plants, it is better to use the complex content of phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. They are sold in stores for summer residents and, as a rule, are distributed in granules. Scatter this fertilizer around the plants during the period when there is still snow or when it will melt, thanks to which nutrients will smoothly flow into the ground.

Weed cleaning. Keep in mind that many weeds grow faster than cultivated plants. Be sure to water the area, but be careful if you have perennials that haven't sprouted yet. It is better to do weeding with your hands so that weeds are uprooted and they do not grow again. If you have a place where there are no perennials, then you can treat it with weed control agents.

Mulch the soil. Mulch the soil when planting. For mulching, you can use different types mulching: from old leaves or straw. The main thing is that the layer should be thick, about ten centimeters, so that it is not blown away by rain and wind. Mulching will help the soil retain moisture better, creating cool conditions for plant roots in summer.

Check the soil for empty spots. In the spring, you can immediately see in which places the plants died after the winter. It is possible to decide what can be planted in empty places. Or make arrangements of annual flowers in combination with perennial flowers.

It is also necessary to clean the paths and paths from the leaves and moss left over from last year. It is advisable to wash the paths with water from a hose or a metal brush.

Check the flowerpots, they could be a little damaged during the winter. Seal cracks with putty for external use. Next, you need to change the earth in flowerpots to a new one. If it wintered there perennial, it needs to be pulled out and the roots dried a little, since after winter a lot of water forms in the flowerpot.

If there is a pond or pool on the territory of your dacha, be sure to clean it and check the serviceability of the equipment for supplying water and draining, and especially filters.

After you have worked in the spring in the country, prepared it for the summer, all that remains is to monitor your plants, fertilize them in time, water them and enjoy the delicious fruits growing on your site.
