The final third of winter is about to begin.

For summer residents, this is a very important period, because before spring comes, they need to complete several important actions on their country plot.

If you miss the moment, the start of the upcoming summer cottage season is unlikely to be successful.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminded gardeners and vegetable growers about important February procedures.

As a result, mummified apples and pears continue to hang on the branches.

In February, all of this needs to be picked, otherwise the woody plants will certainly encounter dangerous diseases.

Sowing seeds

During the third winter month, the summer resident must have time to figure out some types of seed materials.

So, you need to sow pepper and eggplant seeds in February, otherwise there will be problems with getting young plants on time.

Preparing cuttings for spring grafting

This procedure must be completed before March.

Otherwise, the cuttings simply won’t be able to take root in time.

Earlier, summer residents were told whether it is possible to use dolomite flour in the spring.
