For seedlings

Throughout April, you can sow vegetable seeds for seedlings in warm greenhouses in order to later plant them in open ground. These can be tomatoes, early varieties of white and cauliflower, kohlrabi, black onions of sweet varieties.

This is the requirement

If you decide to grow radishes, you will have to take into account its “weaknesses”.

The main one is that it has an underdeveloped root system. In this regard, it is necessary to strictly monitor the soil moisture, especially during the formation of root crops. It is necessary to water the radishes in two or three days, and in dry hot weather - every day, at the rate of 5-8 liters of water per square meter.

Let's add lime

If the soil in the area is acidic, and it is necessary to plant crops on it that do not like such acidity, you can make slaked lime- no more than a quarter of the required amount. This should be done two weeks before sowing or planting.

The rest of the lime will need to be applied in the fall.

We feed

At the very beginning of the growing season, it is advisable to feed urea (5-6 g per square meter) on sorrel and onion. Rhubarb, along with this fertilizer, is embedded in the soil and humus. They also mulch the bed around the plants.

Hurry without haste

In the first half of April, as soon as the soil warms up, you can sow carrots, parsley, scorzonera, parsnips, turnips, early beets in bunches, as well as summer radishes, peas, beans, sunflowers. It's time for greens: dill, cilantro, various salads, leafy mustard.

If the beds are ready, you can plant seeds of Beijing cabbage, radish in them.

We protect the gooseberry

Spring processing will not damage gooseberry bushes, especially those affected powdery mildew. Immediately after flowering, they should be sprayed with a solution baking soda(50 g soda and 50 g laundry soap on a bucket of water) or infusion of mullein (part of manure, three parts of water, stand for three days, then dilute with three parts of water and strain).

And then this treatment must be repeated two or three more times with an interval of a week and a half.

Will be early

Sowing cucumbers in a film greenhouse, find a place there for a couple of long bushes Chinese cucumbers. They are picky and bear fruit from spring until autumn - just have time to pluck greens in time.

Will become bitter

You should not plant carrots near an apple tree, and melons next to cucumbers - all fruits will become bitter. It is better for melon to grow next to radishes, and carrots interspersed with onions or garlic. You can mix with it when sowing and oat root.

cruciferous fleas

These insects damage young leaves of radishes, lettuce, spinach, beets, cabbage. To protect plants from cruciferous fleas, you should, firstly, weed the beds from weeds in time - the pest multiplies and feeds on it. And secondly, it is necessary to sprinkle the young leaves with ash or a mixture of ash and chopped tobacco (1: 1). This processing is carried out twice.

Water on time

Vegetables growing outdoors should be watered in the afternoon to avoid excessive loss of moisture through evaporation.

In film and glass greenhouses, watering should be carried out in the morning and watering should be avoided in evening time, so as not to create excess moisture and the formation of water droplets on plants at night, which is especially dangerous for crops at low night temperatures.

Potatoes are grown in most of the territory of our country, not only because you can’t live without this vegetable, but because of the habit that you inherited from your ancestors! The peculiarities of growing this crop are directly related to the climate characteristics prevailing in a particular zone, from the variety that grows most successfully in these places, and, of course, from caring for the plant!

Along with this, gardeners firmly believe in the traditions of their ancestors and try to plant and process potato seedlings strictly on days that are favorable for such things! If we turn to superstitions, we can find out that such a root crop as a potato is best planted at a time when the Earth's satellite, the Moon, enters the sign of Capricorn! Well, how do you know, you ask?

Experienced summer residents, and those who have someone to tell you, are well versed in folk omens and Orthodox church holidays, remembering this or that feature on a particular day, further comparing it with the planting of fertile crops, including potatoes. However, the simpler people are guided by the "dacha resident's calendars", "lunar calendars of the gardener", which are kindly compiled especially for us by specialists who understand this matter!

Auspicious days in April 2016 for planting potatoes

For 2016, a lot of work and research has already been carried out on which days will be the most favorable for planting potatoes in the month of April. Professionals have studied in detail the features of a leap year, each April day, and they tell us the following about this: planting potatoes should be done only on the 1st, 27th and 28th. The remaining days of April in 2016 are less favorable for such undertakings.

If the weather conditions are favorable to you these days, and the potatoes can be planted in open ground on these dates, then you can be absolutely sure that your planting will be less susceptible to diseases and pest attacks. As for the tubers themselves, they will form in a timely manner, correctly, giving a full-fledged rich harvest that will last until next summer without any problems!

If for some reason you did not have time to plant potatoes in April, then try to plant on the auspicious days of May, which this year fall on the 6th, 24th and 25th! The harvest will also be excellent, despite the fact that you are a little late with planting! However, you should not worry about this, a week back and forth will not give anything, the main thing is that the date is suitable!

What happens if you plant potatoes on an unfavorable day?

It just so happens that 2016 is a leap year. This is a year that does not promise to be fertile and lucky for the growth of most crops and potatoes are no exception! Therefore, if, nevertheless, there are no barriers to this, then it is best to engage in landing only on favorable days.

If it was not possible to take advantage of a favorable date, you need to organize proper care for seedlings, fertilize in a timely manner and possibly even water potato bushes. The harvest, perhaps, will not please you as much as you would like, but the year will certainly not be “hungry” for potatoes!
