March is coming to an end. The final week of the first spring month is an important period for summer residents.
After all, at this time you need to do a lot: prepare the soil, sow some seeds, and carry out sanitary pruning of garden plants.
How to choose the most suitable days for this or that summer cottage activity?
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises gardeners and vegetable growers to be guided by the lunar calendar.
There is a full moon during this period, so it is better not to visit the country house at all.
It is desirable that the first day of the new week be devoted to rest from summer cottage activities.
On Tuesday, you can start sowing many crops.
If weather conditions permit, it makes sense to sow carrots.
On the third day of this week, it is worth growing seedlings of several garden crops at once: cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage.
You can plant carrot and radish seeds directly into the soil. But, again, if the weather and climate conditions of the region do not allow this yet, then the procedure should be postponed to a later date.
According to the lunar calendar, this Thursday is the day to water the plants generously. It is on this day that the procedure can have a very positive effect on crops (primarily on their roots).
In addition, during this period you can loosen the soil and replenish the nitrogen deficiency.
It is not a good idea to plant onion flowers today.
Before the weekend, summer residents should continue working with seed material. First of all, we are talking about planting vegetable seeds.
But on Saturday this activity should be stopped for a while.
The only exception can be made for spinach and other plants that grow quite quickly.
On the last day of the week and month, the same rule should be followed as on March 30.
In addition, this period can be devoted to treating garden crops from dangerous insects and diseases. The use of "chemistry" is acceptable.
Earlier, summer residents were told what to do if rust appeared on a pear tree.
