In April, at the dacha of business, from seven in the morning I am already asleep in the garden, I do not need the help of my relatives.

The garden in April requires special attention from summer residents: the earlier you start the season, the richer the harvest will be. In order to do everything and not miss anything, we have collected for you a list of the 10 most important garden works of the second month of spring.



Garden in April

1. As in the garden, work in the garden begins with a survey of the land under the beds and cleaning last year’s garbage.
   
   
   
   If the soil is not yet dry and sticks to the shovel and legs, prepare windmills and scarecrows that will help protect the crop from uninvited guests.
   
   
2. To install a greenhouse in a new place, you will have to break the beds from scratch. To do this, you need to remove part of the soil, apply markings, dig the intended site, introduce fertilizers into the soil and form ridges.
3. With the final arrival of heat (air temperature above 15 degrees), you can start treating the soil from diseases and pests. For this, the most popular drug for summer residents is phytospirin.

   Dilute the contents of the package (usually 100 grams) in a glass of water and mix thoroughly. It's concentrate. For use, dilute one tablespoon of it in 10 liters of water. Field the area with the resulting solution, sprinkle with dry soil and cover with film. After 3-4 days you can plant plants.
   
   
4. If you haven't worked the greenhouse before, it's time to fix the omission.
   
   
   
   Carefully wash the walls and frame of the greenhouse with a solution of green soap. As you can see in the photo, this affordable tool helps to fight many pests and diseases.
   
   
   
   
   
   Clean all the transparent surfaces of the greenhouse from dust, plow the soil and fill it with fertilizers.
   
   
5. Before planting the seedlings, add fertilizer to the soil. Interrupted manure (10 liters per square meter) is usually sealed into the ground 20 days before planting vegetables. Mineral fertilizers can be added before planting seedlings.
6. 30-40 days before planting, you need to prepare potatoes for it. To do this, the tubers will need to be decomposed in a room with a temperature of 12-15 degrees and diffuse lighting for 15-20 days.
   
   
   
   From time to time, move the tubers - the kidneys will be evenly illuminated and together touched in growth. Spraying with Epin, Ecosil, Oxidate or other growth stimulants will accelerate the germination of the eyes.
   
   

What to plant in April? In the first days of April, it is time to sow cabbage, cucumbers, precocious tomatoes, patissons and squash, melon crops, spicy herbs.


Planted in March seedlings in April can already dive. This applies to tomatoes, pepper, eggplant, originally sown in crates. On quiet sunny days, immature seedlings can be gradually accustomed to the open air. For tempering, it is carried out on the veranda or other place fenced from drafts.

In the open ground after April 20, you can sow carrots, radishes, radish, beets, peas, corn, sunflower, parsley, dill, salad. At the same time, in case of sharp cold snaps, it does not hurt to have a nonwoven covering material or film on hand. In early April (a month before planting), you can already prepare for planting onions. To do this, the bulb must first be moved to a warmer room, and 3 days before landing, warm up in the sun.




That’s how much work you have to do! Happy season and a bountiful harvest, friends!
