Seasonal work in the garden and garden - the third week of July

So we passed the "equator". The second half of summer has begun. It is a little sad that there are less and less warm days, but there are also many good ones: it is at this time that we are already reaping the fruits of our labors. Berries, fruits, vegetables - the earth thanks us for caring. Flowers smell and delight with colors... However, there are still a lot of cases and new tasks.

The main concern is the harvest. Peas ripen, beans and beans begin to ripen. Cleaning these crops depends on what we want. "On the shoulder blade." remove young pods (beans - about 15-20 days after flowering; in beans - selectively, starting from the middle of the month and until the leaflets of the beans begin to dry). Grain. Beans, peas and beans are removed after full ripening: the pods by this time dry, lose their green color.
It's time to put the onions on the turnip.

We remove early ripe white, cauliflower and kohlrabi. Dig early potatoes. The vacated garden areas are used for repeated sowing of greenery, radish, turnips. If you did not have time last week to sow radishes of winter varieties - hurry to do it.

But along with the joys sometimes come problems: our garden pets get sick, and the diagnosis can be difficult. Then we gather a “dacha council” and jointly look for a solution : Here are the questions we discussed this week:

Perhaps you have something to ask, too? If you want to consult with other gardeners, discuss some suburban problem - write, ask your questions and take part in discussions.
In the garden, there are others who want to harvest. Birds bite berries, and pests cause damage to the trees themselves, shrubs, lianas. To use chemical drugs at such a time, you can decide only with despair - because we also enjoy ripe fruits, and poisons to our body well, nothing at all. Therefore, again we recall the next proven folk recipes for harmful insects.

Florist tasks
In flower gardens now our main concern is the care of plants. Do not forget to water them in dry weather, weed, loosen the soil. Pruning withering flowers will not only preserve the neat appearance of the flowerbed, but also prolong flowering.

It is very important to cut the flowering roses in a timely manner in the summer, because tying the fruit gives the plant a signal: “The season is over!” And we want to enjoy the re-flowering, right?

Summer pruning of roses also includes the removal of sick, damaged, weak and thickening branches, shortening of “blind” (that is, not forming buds) shoots.



It is in the height of summer that many summer residents come to mind the most interesting and vivid ideas for the arrangement of their site. And how else – because nature itself is now a source of inspiration!

Those who relax in the country with children may like the ideas from our review Game in a fairy tale: ideas for the magical design of the garden. And really, why not move into a fairy tale at least for a while? Moreover, in the country it is not difficult at all...
