1. We weed, feed and thin out the shoots of late sowing of greens (dill, cilantro, lettuce, radish, daikon, radish, etc.).
2. We regularly harvest vegetable crops: cucumbers, zucchini, squash, peas, asparagus beans, corn cobs, beans.
The earlier we collect the fruits, the faster new ones are formed.
3. We collect cabbage: early, kohlrabi, cauliflower, broccoli.
We water and feed the late cabbage, protect it from caterpillars and slugs.
4. Harvesting tomatoes, eggplants, peppers. By the end of the month, we remove all the tomatoes in order to avoid the disease of the fruits with late blight, and put them for ripening.
4. Remove the early potatoes. Weed the late one.
5. Highly spud the leeks. We feed the root crops with ash – a glass per square meter. We must thin out the carrots (the less often the planting between root crops, the larger the carrots). Spill the beets and carrots with a saline solution (1 tbsp. L. Per 10 l of water) – improves the taste of root crops.
6. Remove and dry winter garlic and onions.
In order to preserve onions and garlic in a rainy summer (if there is no rain, then we stop watering and feeding onions), you need to take care in advance – two weeks before collecting the bulbs. We cover the bed with plantings from the rain with a transparent plastic film (you can use the old one), but do not put the film on the bow, but provide a low frame, that is, build a rain canopy over the bed from any available material.
Further, two-thirds of the soil is removed from the bulbs, so the bulb begins to ripen. Due to the dryness of the soil, all the nutrition from the stem goes into the bulb – this contributes to a quick harvest and good storage. After harvesting, the onions must be dried in any well-ventilated area.
In order to prepare the bed for the future onion harvest, mustard is sown in August and embedded in the soil in October. Such soil preparation does not require fertilization in the spring when planting.
