Calendar of sowing and planting works for August

In August, repeated crops of vegetables continue on the vacated beds. This is a favorable time for sowing green manure - green fertilizers, and early ripening varieties of popular vegetables, vitamin salads and herbs, aromatic spices.

Garden strawberries and grapes are planted in the garden.

• Seedlings with a closed root system can be planted without fear - they take root well in any season.
• Seedlings with an open root system require more careful care and supervision after planting. Experienced gardeners can handle this.

What to sow in the garden in August

In the first half of August, many leafy, lettuce, green crops can be sown.

• In August, you can sow greens and spices. For example, useful fennel.
• Salad (leaf) mustard at the end of summer grows especially well.

• If you plant a slime onion not with seeds, but with shoots, then August for planting is the best time.
• In early August, shallots are planted in open ground. Before planting, the bulbs are selected by size, planted to a depth of 3-4 cm at a distance of 10-16 cm.

• From August 5 to 10, in Primorye, in the Far East, radishes (loba, daikon), radishes are sown.
• Vegetables sown in early August will avoid the attack of the cabbage fly.

1. Immediately after harvesting on the vacant plots in August, it is recommended to sow green manure. Sown green fertilizers - mustard, oats, rye, phacelia, vetch - will help restore and prepare the soil for planting for the next season.
2. In early August, to combat soil fatigue after harvesting early harvest you can sow narrow-leaved and yellow lupine, and plow it for the winter.

In August, on a calm day, lawn grasses are sown. Seeds are sown in two directions, planting to a depth of 1-2 cm.

What to plant in the garden in August

• In August, the right time for planting large-fruited cranberries in compliance with the 30 to 30 scheme.
• Late August is the best time to plant red currants in Siberia. Two-year-old seedlings are planted in holes with a diameter of about half a meter and a depth of up to 40 cm. When planting, fertilizer must be applied, the root neck should be deepened by 5-10 cm.
• At the same time, it is recommended to plant raspberries, especially in Siberia, leaving approx. half a meter.

In many regions, from the middle to August 20, a favorable time begins for planting garden strawberry seedlings.

1. It is better to plant the berry on a dug up, leveled and well-moistened area, mulched with a non-woven covering material.
2. In Siberia, planting seedlings of strawberries in August is rather an exception and an emergency. The optimal time for planting berries is April-May. When planting in August, there may be problems with rooting, delayed fruiting. Therefore, the berry needs special care, and the terms can stretch for the whole month. Experienced gardeners can also plant strawberries in the fall.
3. If you plant garden strawberries in early August, provide the bushes with proper care and feeding. It is believed that the best seedlings are obtained from two-year-old berry bushes.

seedlings

1. From mid-August, it's time to buy seedlings of many fruit and berry and ornamental crops. For example, seedlings of chokeberry - chokeberry.
2. To be sure of the quality of planting material and future harvest, you should adhere to simple recommendations when buying and choosing seedlings. If you are already thinking about buying seedlings, experts advise you to wait.
3. Purchasing seedlings with green foliage is a waste of time and money. Wait for the plants to prepare for winter: the foliage has fallen, the bark has coarsened, there has been an outflow of nutrients.

August gardener calendar

In August, heavy chores in the garden are increasingly replaced by pleasant worries about the harvest.

In this matter, it is also necessary to observe the deadlines and accuracy - do not throw ripened fruits in the garden and, conversely, do not rush to harvest, waiting for the first frost - some fruits are better stored after a cold.

Watering and fertilizing are already being stopped, but additional shelter for vegetables will not hurt and will help prolong fruiting.

Top dressing in the garden in August

In the first decade of August, fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers is stopped. According to the rules of feeding, plants need more potassium from the beginning of fruit formation until they ripen.

• In summer, it is imperative to feed even such seemingly unpretentious plants as celery. In August, he will benefit from mineral supplements with phosphorus, potassium and trace elements.
• In early August, the third final dressing of curly beans is carried out. With a lack of nutrition, beans can be fed with mineral potash and phosphorus fertilizers. Suitable for top dressing and organic fertilizers.
• Potassium sulfate can be added under kohlrabi without any hilling.
• After the first fruiting of zucchini, their leaves can be sprayed with a solution of urea and trace elements - such mineral dressing will help rejuvenate the plants.

Roots

1. In August, you can feed carrots, although in general the root crop is unpretentious and gives a good harvest even without any top dressing.
2. Potassium monophosphate will also be useful for root parsley, this will be the third feeding of the root crop in a season.
3. Until mid-August, they still feed scorzonera - a rare, but valuable and useful root crop. Twice a month, as a top dressing, you can use a complex mineral fertilizer diamosofka - 1 tbsp is enough. l. per 1 m².

1. In August, additional care will be required in caring for the melon. Heavy rains can harm the melon in open field. From excessive moisture during the ripening period, the melon literally explodes. Therefore, watering definitely needs to be limited and try to protect the fruits from precipitation.
2. Zucchini, on the contrary, needs daily watering in August, especially if the weather is dry and hot.
3. Until August 20, watering is still needed for onions, then they are completely stopped.

In August, planting vegetable beans can be attacked by aphids. The vital activity of the black melon aphid is especially unpleasant for beans. It is impossible to use chemical protection agents on fruit-bearing plants, therefore, in order to control pests, biological products are used, for example, Fitoverm, which has an insecticidal effect

Potato

1. In August, when the temperature drops and the air humidity, on the contrary, is high, signs of late blight on potatoes may appear.
2. For prevention purposes, it is recommended to mow the tops two weeks before harvesting, and after digging up the potatoes, ripen them in a dry, ventilated area in order to notice the affected fruits and not lower them into storage. So we will save the crop from damage in the winter.
3. In the third decade of August, there is a high probability of a secondary outbreak of late blight on potatoes and tomatoes. Infection can be transferred from plant residues after harvesting. Therefore, plant residues must be urgently destroyed and the spatial isolation of plantings should be monitored.
4. In the first ten days of August, the potato ladybird intensively populates late varieties of nightshade (potato, tomato, pepper, eggplant) and pumpkin (cucumber, pumpkin) crops.
5. To combat the potato ladybug, from August 5 to August 15, chemical or biological treatment of plantings with Fitoverm, Bankol, Bitoxibacillin and other insecticidal preparations is carried out.

Cabbage

• Whites, scoops and slugs are operating on cabbage in August. To deal with cabbage pests, it is best to follow the rules of agricultural technology and use non-poisonous folk remedies.
• The harvest will be saved by mulching the beds with non-woven material, timely weed control, joint planting with fragrant plants, setting baits, manual harvesting, spraying with pepper infusion and processing with biological products.
• To combat onion and cabbage flies, you can make a saline solution (1 glass of salt per 10 liters of water) or an infusion of wood ash: dilute 1 liter of ash in 10 liters hot water and leave for a day. Water the soil around plants at the first sign of a pest.

Pinching in August

Tomatoes and peppers

1. In order for the fruits of tomatoes to have time to ripen, in August, in the first or second decade, it is recommended to pinch all growth points on the plants. This will speed up the pouring and ripening of the tomatoes.
2. Pinching is especially relevant for regions where in August the tomatoes lack neither light nor heat for full growth and development. This procedure will help both seedless-grown tomatoes and tall varieties.
3. In early August, in unprotected ground, it is necessary to pinch the pepper bushes and remove the flowers so that the plant does not waste energy on ovaries and fruits that still do not have time to ripen.

Zucchini

• Zucchini is usually not pinched, because the fruits are formed on the main shoot.
• However, pinching the top in August will help speed up fruit ripening.
• In addition, with strong growth, you need to remove 2-3 medium leaves to improve ventilation and access to bee plants.

1. In mid-August, perennial onions, such as chives, can be propagated. When dividing the mother bush, 2-3 shoots are left on each part, and the roots and leaves are cut in half.
2. Until about the 20th of August, spicy herbs, such as medicinal lovage, are propagated in the North-West. Rhizomes are divided when the bush grows in one place for about 10 years.
3. When determining the timing of division, it is necessary to focus on the fact that the plant has time to take root before frost, otherwise the division will not take root.

Harvesting and seeds in August in the vegetable garden

cucumbers

1. In early August, in order to prolong the fruiting of cucumbers in the open field, they can be covered at night and during rains with a non-woven fabric. So the plants will be protected from cold moisture, the leaves will not turn yellow ahead of time, the stems will not dry out.
2. At the same time, kivano, an exotic cucumber, begins to bear fruit. It is better to collect small young fruits, they are especially good in home-made preparations, pickling. Kiwano fruits are preserved like traditional cucumbers.

Celery

• In August, the lower leaves are removed from the root celery so that the vegetable ripens faster and better. In a month or two it will be possible to harvest.

Pumpkin

• From about mid-August, beds with heat-loving crops can be covered with foil or special covering materials to protect plantings from the first frosts and cold snaps.
• So, the shelter will help the nutmeg pumpkin to ripen, so that in early September it was already possible to harvest a juicy crop.

Melon

1. In early August, juicy fragrant melon begins to ripen in the Middle lane.
2. It is impossible to leave ripe fruits for a long time, so pick the crop as soon as you notice a ripe fruit.
3. At the same time, unripe melons cannot be touched - they will not ripen under any conditions and will be stored for no more than 2-3 weeks.

Beans

• In the first decade of August, the collection of beans for a shoulder blade continues.
• Mature green pods must be harvested before they are old and calloused, otherwise the sashes will dry out and the beans will fall out.
• In Primorye, in the Delny East, asparagus beans are pulled out and stripped from the bushes of beans.
• Overgrown beans and the plants themselves can be used for compost as long as they don't have any diseases on them.

1. Usually, when determining the timing of harvesting, they are guided by the lodging of leaves or by the bulb - if it has formed, it can be harvested earlier or, conversely, later, in mid-August.
2. After harvesting, the bulbs should be allowed to dry in a ventilated area, after which they are peeled and stored.
3. Until August 25, you can cut perennial onions for greens. After each cut, do not forget to provide the plants with sufficient nutrition and moisture - this will speed up the growth of leaves. The resulting arrows must be cut and discarded.

Roots

1. On August 25, in Siberia, you can harvest potatoes and sow green manure, for example, phacelia, on the site - by the end of October it will already grow and can be planted in the soil as green fertilizer.
2. From the end of the month, the time comes to dig out the root crop of scorzonera. It is necessary to have time before frost and focus on the timing of harvesting carrots. It is better to use a pitchfork for digging, so as not to damage the long brittle roots.
3. At the end of August, on the mother liquors of root crops - beets, carrots, radishes - seeds ripen in umbrellas. The umbrellas themselves are mowed and dried to obtain seeds, after which they are threshed.

August gardening calendar

• At the end of August, the period of making autumn dressings of fruit and berry crops begins to help the plants prepare for winter.
• In autumn, mineral phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied, it is they that contribute to the ripening of shoots and increase the vitality of trees and shrubs.
• But watering in August is already not only unnecessary for many crops in the garden, but also contraindicated.

Top dressing in August garden

1. From August 1 to 25, for the successful ripening of cherries in the Urals and preparation for winter, foliar spraying with potassium monophosphate is carried out.
2. Before the ripening of berries on late-ripening grape varieties, they are fed with a complex mineral fertilizer containing phosphorus, potassium and trace elements. Bushes are watered with a solution of fertilizers in the evening or in cloudy weather.
3. To fertilize plantings of strawberries after pruning, the bushes can be overlaid with semi-decomposed compost and watered.
4. To prevent the fight against diseases and pests, potash fertilizers are applied under the trees in August. They will help better education and fruit ripening.
5. In August, plums are required. Pour in 1 tbsp. l. potassium chloride and superphosphate and dissolve in water - the application of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers will help the plants prepare for winter.
6. In the second half of August, when it is not so hot anymore, top dressing will be useful for the lawn. As with other plants, lawn grasses need phosphorus and potassium closer to autumn to increase resistance to the vagaries of autumn and winter weather. After fertilization, the lawn needs to be watered abundantly.

Watering in August garden

• In August, after the currant berries ripen, it needs good watering - the third time in a season. This procedure helps with the formation of buds and contributes to the ripening of shoots.
• Raspberries in August, on the contrary, are not watered so that the bushes complete their growth and have time to prepare for winter. Just like cherries - unlike hot July, in cool rainy August, watering will only hurt. From the beginning of August, apricot watering should also be stopped. After picking the fruit, do not water the plum.
• At the end of August, garden strawberry care continues. After fruiting, the plants need to be watered abundantly and do not forget to remove dried leaves and mustaches.
• In early August, it is worth stopping loosening under the apple tree - this will help the tree ripen better.
• In mid-August, when caring for a lawn, it is useful to carry out a soil aeration procedure in order to improve the access of oxygen, moisture, and fertilizers to the roots. To do this, you need to collect plant residues with a rake and pierce the lawn with a pitchfork to a depth of approx. 5 cm in different places.

1. In August, signs of cherry coccomycosis appear: due to a decrease in chlorophyll in the leaves, they turn yellow and fall off prematurely.

   To combat the disease, spraying with copper-containing preparations is used. After harvesting, the cherries are treated with Bordeaux liquid or copper oxychloride. As always, the biological product Fitosporin, which has fungicidal properties, is also suitable.

   In the Far East, for the treatment and prevention of coccomycosis on cherries, trees are sprayed with Bordeaux liquid first in early spring, then after flowering and in the first autumn days.

2. In the last month of summer, it's time to start the fight against rodents in order to prepare the site for wintering. For guard fruit trees from mice and voles in the garden, you need to regularly lay out poisoned baits
3. In August, traces of the vital activity of pests appear coniferous plants. To protect against annoying insects, spraying with insecticidal chemical, biological or herbal preparations will help.
4. While the berries are ripening, do not leave the raspberries unattended. To combat the raspberry beetle, the soil in the raspberry must be constantly loosened with the addition of ash or tobacco dust.
5. In August, many pests of the apple tree manifest themselves. Caterpillars of the codling moth, hawthorn can be stopped with trapping belts, shaken off and treated with biological preparations so as not to harm the fruits. They will help in the fight against voracious insects and birds on the site.
6. In early August, you can notice signs of powdery mildew on gooseberries. You should not hesitate and immediately treat the bushes with Topaz using special garden sprayers or alternative "folk" remedies: infusion of ash, soda with soap, milk.
7. Then the oidium appears on the grapes. For the treatment of a fungal disease, sulfur-containing preparations are suitable. Treatments are carried out weekly, but stop 3 weeks before harvest.

Trimming trees and shrubs

Grape

• In August, chasing begins in the vineyard: some of the upper roots are removed to stimulate the growth of the lower part of the grape root and help the grapes and vines ripen better.
• In Siberia, the minting of grapes is carried out around August 20, shortening the top by approx. 30 cm
• In August, you will need to tie up the vines and thin out the crown, and remove the leaves covering and shading the bunches.
• At the end of August, it is already necessary to have time to finish work with the vine and not pruning the grapes.

If by August 1, on a sweet cherry in the Urals, the tops of the shoots are light, tender, non-lignified, you need to tweeze - pinch the tops to speed up the maturation of the wood and help prepare the plant for winter.

At the end of August, the tops of the unripened shoots are cut off on the mulberry tree to the point where the wood is hard. This will increase the winter hardiness of the plant.

In early August, the reproduction of garden strawberries continues by dividing the bush. To do this, choose the most valuable bushes that bear fruit well all season.

Until the middle of the month, budding can be carried out - summer grafting of trees. When determining the timing of budding, you need to focus on which cut. If the cut is wet, moisture oozes out of it - feel free to graft, if the cut is dry - you can not graft. So, for example, you can propagate an apple tree using the summer budding technique.

Harvesting in the garden

1. In early August, the mass ripening of blackcurrant berries begins. Depending on the variety, the ripening time can be extended by plus or minus 2 weeks.
2. Starting from mid-August, hazelnuts ripen - the moment of fruit ripening is noticeable on the drying leaves around the nut. In order not to break the shoots, hazelnuts are not plucked, but carefully cut.
3. At the end of August, actinidia ripens in the Far East. The berries fall off instantly, so you should not delay harvesting. Let the berries be a little underripe - in a couple of days they will become noticeably sweeter.
4. At the end of August, in order to prolong the fruiting of remontant raspberries and increase the yield, the bushes can be covered with polyethylene or non-woven fabric.
5. In order for blackberries in Siberia to bear fruit well, shelter will not hurt her either. Additional shelter is placed on the arcs, which contributes to the rapid ripening of berries

August florist calendar

At the beginning of August, the re-blooming of graceful lupine usually begins - of course, if they were not "greedy" and cut the faded flower stalks in time. Astilba is still blooming, the inflorescences of which look great in a bouquet.

• In August, the watering of the already unpretentious liverwort, a beautiful primrose, is completely stopped and a new pale blue flowering is expected in early spring.
• To prepare roses for winter, you need to add phosphorus and potassium. Fertilizers will stop growth, increase resistance to frost and improve the maturation of wood.

peonies

1. In August, rooted healthy layers of tree peony are planted. They are separated from the mother plant and placed in pre-prepared soil. If peony cuttings were rooted, in August they can be transplanted into open ground to a permanent place.
2. In August, a good time to buy planting material for ito-hybrid peonies immediately after digging and dividing the bush. Starting from mid-August, they are planted in a sunny place at a distance of about 1 m from other perennials. A division is placed in a half-meter hole with fertilizers, deepening the kidneys by 3-5 cm.

ornamental shrubs

• In early August, you can still plant rhododendrons in containers with a closed root system. In a planting hole measuring 40 by 60 cm, drainage is done, acid peat, compost, coniferous litter, rotted manure and river sand are added. The root neck is not deepened, the landing site is compacted, shed, mulched.
• Until mid-August, you can continue planting hydrangeas. This elegant shrub calmly tolerates a transplant.

Bulbous

1. At the end of the month, you can already plan the autumn planting of bulbous flowers. The bulbs are planted at three bulb depths with the addition of a complete complex mineral fertilizer. Before planting, the bulbs are pickled.
2. For example, you can start planting tulip bulbs, especially if there is little gardening to do. If the time is hot and there is no time for tulips, it is easy to postpone planting the bulbs for the following months.
3. In the Moscow region, the main time for planting tulips before winter is October.

Transplants in the flower garden in August

decorative cabbage
In the third decade of August, you can transplant ornamental cabbage from a garden bed into a flower bed. Cabbage transfers transplants easily, the main thing is to transplant with a clod of earth and water thoroughly.

Mallow
With dense plantings, mallow is also transplanted to a new place, leaving a distance of about half a meter between plants.

Clematis
August is good for planting clematis, the optimal time is usually at the end of the month. When planting clematis, you need to choose a bright place, protected from the wind, lime the soil, it should be warm and well moistened. After planting, clematis needs to be watered abundantly weekly and do not forget about top dressing.

Reproduction in the flower garden

1. At the end of August, you can start breeding phloxes. Flowers are propagated by dividing the rhizome, starting from the age of 3, cuttings, axillary shoots or root cuttings (this is if you want to get a large amount of planting material).
2. In August, every 4-5 years, doubtful Jeffersonia is propagated. seed propagation rarely used, vegetative propagation is more common. For this, Jeffersonia is dug up, divided into parts with 2-3 kidneys. Delenki quickly take root and bloom the very next spring.
3. Every two years, the perennial delphinium needs to be divided, and this is best done in mid-August. Then the petunia begins a period of rest after lush flowering, and you can start cutting petunias. During the winter, the cuttings will take root and bloom for the next season faster and more magnificently.
4. In August, you can divide the lyatris tubers. To do this, they are dug up and sorted into large and small. Smaller rhizomes are planted for growing, and flowering specimens will grow from large tubers for the next season.
5. In August, when the ivy-leaved pelargonium has already grown long lashes, they can be cut off and cuttings can be used for propagation. They are immediately planted in the soil, they are not soaked in water and do not root.

Top dressing in the flower garden

1. In August, the feeding of many flowering plants is gradually fading away. So on chrysanthemums that prefer fertile soil and additional nutrition, top dressing is stopped in August. On dahlias, top dressing in August is also not used, so as not to delay the ripening of root tubers.
2. At the very beginning, it is not too late to add superphosphate under the lilies, if you have not done this before. This will be the fourth and final dressing. Two liters of solution is enough for 1 m² of flower garden.
3. In the second half of August, flowerbeds with perennial delphiniums are watered with ash infusion. Before any top dressing, the soil must be shed clean water so that the fertilizer does not burn the roots.
4. At the end of August, it is useful to spud dahlias so that the tubers do not freeze before digging in the fall. At the same time, mineral top dressing (superphosphate solution) of rhododendron is carried out so that the shoots have time to mature and prepare for winter.

Houseplants

• Pets should not be left unattended even in the hot summer season. The whole of August still needs to be fertilized for zonal pelargonium.
• If throughout the spring and summer the fertilizing of passionflower was carried out every two weeks with organic or mineral fertilizers, then in August the amount of fertilizer applied can be reduced and completely stopped by the end of the month. Let the plant go to rest and prepare for the winter.
• Indoor chrysanthemum in August, on the contrary, begins to bloom profusely. To make the flowers larger and more magnificent, do not forget to pinch off extra buds and leave only a few pieces.
• In August, on orchids, the watering norms begin to decrease, but the whole month you can still feed the flowers with phosphorus fertilizers.
• In August, stone plants - lithops - begin to bloom. Abundant watering will help to stimulate the appearance of a flower, but only so that the soil has time to dry completely between waterings.

According to the gardener's lunar calendar for August 2017, this month is filled with the smells and tastes of summer. Gardening and garden chores are bearing fruit. The main concern of this month is to process the crop and prepare planting material.

In the garden, they make sure that carrion does not lie under the trees. Fruits affected by diseases and pests are destroyed. Particular attention is paid to young plantings. August is the hottest month of the year and you need to carry out regular watering, as well as protect the trees from pests and diseases.

August is the best time to propagate red and black currants with woody cuttings. For cuttings, it is better to use mature strong shoots of the current year with well-formed buds, as well as growth from branches of 2-4 years of age. Shrubs such as clematis, honeysuckle, forsythia are also propagated throughout the month with green and semi-lignified cuttings or layering.

August is a very favorable time for laying a lawn.

In August, it is good to divide and plant perennial flowers, while all divided plants should be immediately planted in a permanent place and watered abundantly. We divide and propagate the following perennials (primroses, lilies, peonies, delphinium, phloxes, astilba ...).

In August, they continue regular harvesting of vegetables, preventing them from overripening. Timely harvesting promotes flowering, setting and ripening of new fruits. Only those fruits that are left for seeds are allowed to overripe. They pay great attention to watering, because this month there is an active ripening of the crop. Water abundantly every 6 to 8 days, followed by loosening and mulching. When watering, make sure that water does not fall on the leaves. This month, onions and garlic are harvested and then dried for at least 20 days. If these crops are not removed and dried in time, the bulbs will sprout and the teeth will crumble. For autumn consumption, we sow radishes, dill, lettuce, kohlrabi, radish, Chinese cabbage, daikon, spinach, coriander. Prepare a place for the autumn planting of onions and garlic.

August (especially its second half) is the ideal time for planting strawberry mustaches. It is also one of the main months in which mass harvesting of vegetables and berries for the winter period is carried out.

Recommendations	sowing, weeding, spraying in II and IV phases planting, watering, fertilizing in phases I and III

Fertilizing plants in August to maintain their growth is carried out mainly foliar. At the beginning of the month, as soon as you harvest the currants and gooseberries, immediately feed and process the berry bushes. When harvesting, remove spider nests, dried berries, twisted leaves and burn them.

Berries, when working in the garden in August, begin to lay the next year's crop, they begin to grow the root system, so they need mineral top dressing with superphosphate and potassium. For red currants and gooseberries, it is enough to take 1 tbsp. l. double superphosphate and 2 tbsp. l. potassium per bush, and for blackcurrant - 2 tbsp. l. double superphosphate and 1 tbsp. l. potassium. Fertilizers for plants in August should be applied during irrigation in dry weather and dry in the top layer of soil in rainy weather. It is undesirable to use potassium chloride, especially for gooseberries, since it will immediately shed its leaves, and the plant needs leaves for the successful development of roots. Gooseberries can shed their leaves prematurely and during prolonged drought if you do not water them in time.

If the summer turned out to be rainy and powdery mildew killed the entire crop on the gooseberries (gray felt coating on leaves and berries), treat with Vectra or Topaz preparations at the beginning and then at the end of August, if by that time there are still leaves on the gooseberries. Weeds must be weeded out and the soil under the bushes should also be treated with one of these preparations.

Important! Next spring, be sure to treat the gooseberries three times: on young leaves, then after 2 weeks on young ovaries and after harvesting to eradicate the fungus pathogen for 4-5 years.

If powdery mildew damaged only part of the bush, and the rest of the berries are clean, then a couple of times before harvesting, treat the entire bush with Fitosporin and only after that with Vectra or Topaz.

In the gardener's calendar for August 2017, the processing of apple trees affected by scab is necessarily planned (first black spots on the leaves, then black spots on the fruits). To protect plants in August, Vectra or Skor is used.

In early August, weakened plants can be attacked by shoot aphids. Spray the ends of the branches with Healthy Garden (6 grains per 1 liter of water).

In cherries, plums, sea buckthorn and lilacs, when working in the garden and in the garden, all root shoots are removed in August. If you want to take root offspring from them, then this should be done in the first half of August, and you should not take them close to the trunk - preferably 1.5-2 m from it, otherwise you will severely damage the roots of the mother plant.

Particular attention in the calendar of the gardener and gardener for August is given to berry bushes. At this time, do not give them nitrogen supplements, especially weed infusions or manure, since nitrogen causes the ends of the branches to grow. This new growth will not have time to lignify by the cold and will dry out in winter. On the contrary, you should stop the growth of branches, for which pinch (cut off) the tops of the branches of blackcurrants and gooseberries. But not at the red currant, because it is at the ends of the branches that it lays the largest number fruit buds.

In blackcurrant, according to the recommendations of the calendar horticulturist - gardener as of August 2017, you can shorten the ends of the branches. If the branches are weak and there are few fruit buds on them (the brushes are rarely located), then they shorten even a third of their length. (But pruning is recommended in late autumn, as this always causes the awakening of the lower buds. Lateral branches will begin to develop from them, which will not have time to lignify before winter and frost will dry them up.)

When planning things according to the gardener's calendar for August 2017, do not forget to cut the weeds under the bushes with a flat cutter or weeder, deepening it into the soil by about 2 cm, and leave them directly under the bushes.

Important! It is necessary to choose a day so that there is no rain for at least 3 hours after spraying.

Garden work in August and plant protection products

Now the main enemy of tomatoes is late blight and fruit rot. At this time, it is no longer possible to use chemicals, so use an iodine solution for treatment (10 mm per 10 liters of water). Repeat spraying after 3 days. You can also treat plants with Fitosporin every 10 days. Spray the fruits with a solution of calcium chloride (200 ml of a 10% solution diluted in 2 liters of water and spray once only the fruits with the stalk).

When drawing up a work plan for the gardener's calendar for August 2017, pay attention to peppers to protect them from stem rot, just like cucumbers. Remove gray or white mold with a dry cloth or soaked in a strong solution of potassium permanganate, then pollinate this place with ash. You can cover the affected areas with slurry of chalk, potassium permanganate and water.

Cucumbers should be protected from bacteriosis and anthracnose with Fitosporin. It is impossible to use chemical agents, including copper preparations, at this time.

Rake the soil from the bulbs so that they stand on the soil on the roots. Pour in the common salt solution (1 cup of salt per bucket of water) and leave the bulbs uncovered. The same should be done with cabbage: first rake the soil and pour the salt solution on top of the head, and then, unlike onions, spud again. Do not forget to regularly, about once every 10 days, water the cabbage against the keel with a solution of calcium nitrate (3 tablespoons per 10 liters of water, pour 0.5 liters under each bush) or lime milk (1 glass of lime, dolomite or chalk per 10 liters of water, pour 0.5 liters under a bush).

During this period, only biological products Agravertin and Fitoferm or the new biological product Iskra-bio can be used against pests on vegetables during this period (do not confuse it with chemical agent Spark).

If you have not yet planted garlic before winter, at the end of August, on the 25th-26th, do it. Make holes in the soil with a depth of 12-15 cm, pour 1 tbsp. l. sand, lower the AVA fertilizer granule and garlic clove, pour 1 tbsp. l. sand and loosen with soil. With such a deep planting, garlic will not sprout in the fall, but it will develop a powerful root system, with which it will leave before winter. The fertilizer will last all summer and no additional feeding is required, and the sand will create microdrainage around the garlic and it will not rot.

Important! The drug "Maxim" is specially designed against the rot of bulbous crops. We recommend soaking all bulbs in it before planting.

Particular attention in the gardener's calendar for August 2017 is given to work on a strawberry plantation. The beginning of August is the deadline for processing plantings of strawberries. It is necessary that the bushes have a large green mass by the end of the month, since we very often have early and rather strong frosts at the very end of August or the beginning of September, and strawberries have the most weakness- it's a rhizome. Therefore, it is necessary that strawberries cover it with their leaves.

But if you did not have time to process the bushes before mid-August, leave them to winter as they are. For strawberries, this is better than bare rhizomes not covered with leaves. Usually they stick out of the ground, so the bushes should be piled up with soil or a new one should be poured under them, but in such a way as not to fill the heart. If you applied AVA fertilizer when planting, then you do not need to feed strawberries for 3 years. If you didn’t do this, then plant 0.5 tbsp in the soil under each bush. l. azofoski.

Sometimes the question is asked: should strawberry leaves be mowed? No, because it will begin to grow leaves to the detriment of the laying of fruit buds and the yield is reduced. You can mow no later than the 20th of July and only in two cases: if you grow strawberries on large plantations or you have old plantings - 3 or more years old. When mowing, do not touch the heart, otherwise you will make your strawberries disabled.

In flower beds, lily hoverfly - red bugs can cause great damage to lilies. In the fight against them, the remedy against the Colorado potato beetle - Sonnet will perfectly help. When you work in the garden in August to process potatoes, process lilies at the same time. In addition, the appearance of rust - botrytis is possible on oriental hybrids. It, fortunately, does not go to the bulbs, but damages the leaves, buds and flowers. Therefore, planting lilies should be regularly sprayed every 2 weeks with Bordeaux liquid or any other copper solution.

August will come - it will lead its own rules.

The main task of the gardener in August is to stop the growth of the current year's shoots in length. The formation of the apical bud and the ripening of the shoots will better prepare the plant for winter. To stop the growth processes in the shoots, the following measures are taken: remove the mulch from trunk circle, simple potash and phosphate fertilizers are applied to the zone of the active root system, pinch the tops of young growing shoots and reduce watering. Do not apply nitrogen fertilizers, as this can cause a second wave of shoot growth.
Upon completion of the collection of raspberries, fruiting and damaged branches are cut out. Young shoots that have grown over the summer should be shortened, cut off the growth tops - this will make it possible for their wood to mature and prepare for the upcoming cold weather.
Vegetables in August also need our care - loosening and top dressing. Potato tops should be mowed 2 weeks before you plan to start "digging potatoes" - the tubers will ripen better.
August is the time for abundant fruiting of tomatoes and peppers. The tops of the tomatoes at this time must be removed, leaving a couple of sheets above the top brush. This will speed up the ripening of the set fruits.
When caring for flowers in August, rejuvenating division and transplantation of perennials come first. Getting ready to plant bulbous flowers. For them, beds and rabatki are made in advance. On the clay soils make sand and compost for digging. If necessary, the soil is lime.

Folk signs about the weather in August:
The August night is long, the water is cold..
August towards autumn runs skipping.
In August, winter begins to fight with summer.

Based on one interesting folk sign, we will try to compile together with you, one of the main tasks of which is to help plan the work of the upcoming 2017 garden season.

August work in the garden

• Continue the installation of props under the branches, which began in July, on which a plentiful crop of apples, pears, and plums ripens.
• As the summer varieties of these crops ripen, it is necessary to quickly harvest the fruit. They don't keep for a long time. We must not forget to water and feed fruit plants with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers.
• In early August, continue, if you did not have time in July, grafting by budding apple trees, pears and other fruit crops.
• On berry bushes of late varieties of currants and gooseberries, harvest, loosen the soil, feed with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers and water all plants. Nitrogen fertilizers can no longer be used - they will cause the growth of shoots that will not have time to lignify by winter and freeze.
• On strawberry beds, after picking the last berries, remove all flower stalks, unnecessary mustaches and dried leaves. Loosen the soil and add compost or humus to the plants. Feed the strawberries with nitrogen fertilizers - it needs to form thick foliage before the cold weather, which will cover root system frost in winter.
• In mid-August, start planting grown and strengthened young strawberry plants from the mother liquor to a permanent place.
• On raspberry plantings, cut off fruiting shoots and unnecessary shoots near the ground. Feed the plants with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers.
