There are literally a few weeks left until the end of the calendar autumn.
The end of the summer cottage season is a difficult period for gardeners. After all, before the onset of winter, you need to have time to complete several procedures.
Unfortunately, many owners of country houses forget to do several important “November” tasks.
So, what needs to be done at the dacha before the third autumn month comes to an end? This question was answered by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Plant some plants
It is in November that it makes sense for a summer resident to plant plants “before winter” in order to get an early harvest.
We can talk about root vegetables (carrots, radishes) and greens (dill, parsley).
Treat plants
At the end of autumn, some fruit trees need protection from pests and diseases.
Spray apple and pear trees with drops of special products to prevent the plants from becoming infected with dangerous diseases.
Remove leaves
Don't forget to completely clear your suburban area of leaf blades that have fallen from trees and shrubs.
Before winter, the gardener must make sure that there are no leaves on the beds. The exception is the use of leaves as a covering material.
Dig up the soil
Before the frosty season arrives, the gardener should dig up the soil cover.
It is worth adding fertilizer to the treated soil.
Protect plants from frost
Some crops need to be protected from low temperatures and strong winds. Covering materials help.
