Most dacha owners are looking forward to spring so that they can return to their dacha and start landscaping and caring for it. Of course, the cottage after the winter does not look as attractive as we would like. You have to complete a considerable amount of work before you can begin to admire your own and the surrounding area. It will be necessary to bring tools, seedlings and much more from the city so that the cottage looks residential and comfortable again. What kind of work will have to be carried out, and in what sequence?
This can not only damage the foundation and supporting structures, but also cause the appearance of fungus and mold in the premises. If you find that the basement is flooded, you need to drain it as soon as possible. Some people prefer to wait until the water drains on its own, however this can cause serious damage to the foundation.
Does your farm have a sump pump? Then you can quickly and easily solve this problem. If there is no pump, you will have to contact a specialist. In any case, you will pay less for their services than for overhaul foundation. To prevent this from happening again, it is worth providing the basement with waterproofing, as well as installing drainage system for removal of melt water.
When the inspection of the basement is completed, you can climb to the very top - to the attic. Here, be sure to inspect the condition of the roof and rafters.
Wooden rafters can be covered in mold or even rot - this should be fixed immediately by cleaning and varnishing or painting. Otherwise, the infection can spread, and all supporting structures will simply collapse under the weight of the roof. You also need to pay maximum attention to yourself.
Make sure there are no holes or cracks in it. If there are any, try to restore the integrity of the roof as soon as possible. Otherwise, after the first rain, and you will have to run around the house, placing basins and pots under streams of water pouring from the ceiling. Of course, you will have to spend a lot of time on cosmetic repairs, without which the living quarters will not look very attractive.
After completing the inspection of the attic, you can examine the residential part country house. Temperature fluctuations often lead to deformation of wooden jambs, frames, doors and windows.

Most likely, such an inspection will take at least an hour or two. If it is dry and warm outside, then after an hour of ventilation it will be cozy in the house. If the year turned out to be cold, and the spring turned out to be dank, you will have to use a heater.
Turn it on for several hours, moving it from room to room if necessary, until the air in the entire cottage is dry enough.
After that, you can proceed to such a difficult task as moving and arranging furniture, cleaning the cottage and hanging curtains and tulle. By the end of the work, the cottage will acquire a completely residential and cozy look.
We go out into the street
When the cottage is ventilated and dried, and things are put in their places, you can go outside and inspect land plot. There is a large amount of work to be done here, which, most likely, will take at least a week.
spring work on suburban area
It will be necessary to look after perennials, dig up the ground, form beds and sow them with annual plants. Of course, it would be better to decide in advance where and what you will grow this year. You can even draw up a rough plan - plant tomatoes and eggplants here, arrange beds with cucumbers here, and sow radishes and greens here so that they are always at hand.
By the way, it is better to place a garden bed with greenery as close as possible to the porch: it is often forgotten about, and remembered only before dinner. No one wants to run to the other end of the garden. However, if you love flowers and the beauty that they bring to the site, you can place flower beds closest to the porch to admire them when you leave the cottage. But first things first.
Taking care of trees and bushes
Where does spring care begin? First of all, inspect the bushes and trees growing on your site.
You will almost certainly see dry twigs on them, on which there are neither young leaves, nor even buds, while other branches are already covered with greenery. These branches should be removed immediately: there will be no benefit from them, but they will interfere with other branches, as well as you when harvesting. But don't try to break them off by hand. In this case, you not only risk scratching or getting a splinter, but also damage the bark on young and healthy branches.
It is better to use a regular garden pruner to cut dry branches neatly, quickly and easily. If the branches are too thick (thicker thumb), it is better to use a garden saw. Cut branches can be burned immediately, as they are not suitable for compost. Too weak branches located in the center of the crown can also be eliminated to ensure the flow of sun and fresh wind to healthy branches, thereby ensuring a rich harvest. must be carried out.
If you didn't remove the leaves from the ground in the fall (this is not recommended to provide the best protection for the roots from frost), then now is the time to do it. Throwing away or even burning the leaves is not worth it, it is better to send them to the compost heap. There they will rot, and in a year you will have an excellent fertilizer for your garden.
Make sure tree bark has not been damaged by mice or other pests. If there are damages, they should be repaired. Places with damaged bark can simply be sealed with electrical tape, plasticine, or even dirt to reduce the risk of infection, as well as protect the plant from drying out.
In the summer, raids of various insect pests are possible? Then now is the time to spray the trees. It is very important to seize the moment for this work. Experts consider the best time to be the moment when the buds are already swollen, but there are no young leaves on the tree or shrub yet.
This way you can protect your garden from pests. Of course, it is worth knowing in advance (from your own experience or from the advice of your neighbors) which pests threaten your garden. It can be ants, aphids, codling moth and many other insects. Accordingly, the poison must be chosen appropriate so that it has the maximum effect.
With the onset of spring, nature wakes up and the time of work begins in summer cottages and in the garden.
Nature comes alive with the arrival of spring
March is the first month of spring and in some regions it can still be frosty for planting to begin. But it is already quite possible to start cleaning the garden area and garden.
Preparing for the season in March
Spring work in the garden begins with cleaning. It is necessary to remove the entire territory from autumn debris and accumulated over winter period sora - branches, leaves, grass residues, etc. It is worth taking this event responsibly, as uncleaned windbreak and other winter rubbish spoils the impression of appearance site, in heaps of such garbage, a favorable environment is created for various pests. In the process of clearing the land, remove any weeds left over from the fall. Now they are easily pulled out along with the root system.
We clean the foliage and grass, if we didn’t do it in the fall
Then it is worth carefully inspecting the garden buildings and determining the need for repairs. Does not interfere with general cleaning garden house– something needs to be painted, something needs to be whitewashed. In other words, both the territory of the garden and the house itself must be put in order.
Make an audit of tools: clean, lubricate, sharpen
Conduct an audit garden tools. Some of them probably need to be sharpened or repaired, and some inventory items can already be completely replaced. Pay attention to clothes designed for working in the garden. There is no specific set, it all depends on the local climatic conditions of the region. Make sure that there is clothing available that can work in hot weather, and in rain, and in windy cool. Don't forget shoes and gloves.
Work directly on the ground
Spring gardening should begin with planning what will be planted where. Please note that the landing sites of some garden crops must be periodically alternated with each other. Decide on the sunny sides of the garden and those that are in the shade most of the day. Trim trees and shrubs around the site.
We carry out pruning of trees and shrubs, if we did not do it in the fall
Plants need to be fertilized. This must be done even in the presence of fertile soil. Fertilize the soil with a mixture of potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. They affect the growth of roots and shoots, are responsible for the formation of good inflorescences and fruits. Such fertilizers can be applied even at a time when there is snow on the ground. When it finally thaws, nutrients will enter the soil along with moisture.
It is important to properly prepare the intended areas of the field for planting seeds. If necessary, dig the earth, crush large pieces into small earthen clods, etc.
Dig up the ground, if you didn’t do it in the fall and outline the beds, don’t forget about crop rotation
Assess the quality of the land. In the case when it is heavy, it is necessary to add fine gravel, coarse sand to the soil to increase airiness. In such soil, water will not accumulate at the root system and will not cause its rotting process. Conversely, if the soil is too crumbly, it is necessary to add some clay-containing soil to it to retain nutrients and moisture.
It is better to fertilize the land with fertilizers in the fall before plowing. In the spring, apply 1/3 of the recommended dose
When loosening the soil, remember that you do not need to dig it often, because. useful substances at the same time go deep into the soil. When digging, the soil structure itself suffers. If loosening is required, then it must be done to a depth of no more than 10 cm.
Working with seeds
Before planting seeds, they must be prepared for this. The seeds of each plant are prepared differently, but there are general rules. It is necessary to sort them out and choose large ones, without signs of damage and disease, physical damage. In order to separate bad seeds from good ones, you need to warm them up on the stove for 2-3 hours. Then in a glass with a solution of the 1st tbsp. dip the heated seeds with a spoonful of salt and water. Poor quality ones will float, they can be thrown away.
Seed rejection before planting
The rest must be placed in gauze before they germinate. Don't forget to harden the seeds. To do this, they need to be placed in the refrigerator for several hours. After the seeds germinate, they can be planted in pre-prepared boxes, a greenhouse or a greenhouse. The main condition that must be observed in this case is that future shoots get as much sunlight as possible.
According to the same principle, seeds of annual flowers are prepared for their future planting in open ground. By the way, the area of the field intended for planting flowers also needs to be prepared - fertilize, best of all in the first month of spring, until the ground has completely thawed. The same rule is true for other areas of the garden intended for growing garden and horticultural crops.
Things to do in April
This month, spring work in the garden becomes more intense. If roses or grapes were covered in autumn, now the covers can be removed. If the field area has not yet warmed up and planting work is done early, it's time to start laying out greenhouses or greenhouse structures. Before planting seeds, make sure that the greenhouse in the garden stands on the ground with a closed film for a while. This is necessary to warm the soil in the greenhouse.
In April, we install greenhouses and greenhouses, plant seedlings
It is also worth paying attention to fruit and berry plantings. It is necessary to prune dry branches, thin out young shoots, and eliminate those branches that grow inside the crown. In order to prevent damage to trees by pests, it is necessary to treat the stem parts with special preparations. Second month of spring optimal time for planting new trees and shrubs.
April is the time for planting trees and shrubs.
At the same time, strawberries and raspberries are being prepared. Dried stems are cut out from raspberries, if necessary, thinned out. In a garden with strawberries, an extra mustache is cut off and thinning is also performed.
Gardening in May
May days are the most troublesome and time-consuming days in the garden. And in the same month, numerous pests appear and come to life. That is why it is worth checking fruit and berry plantings. Inspect the currant for the absence of ticks. Carefully examine the kidneys - their large size indicates that there may be a tick in them. They need to be collected and burned, you can't just throw them away. At the time of flowering of the currant, make sure that there are no inflorescences of a dirty pink hue. When they are found, you need to dig such a bush and burn it.
In May, active planting of beds begins
Inspect seedlings in greenhouses and greenhouses. A sign of her defeat spider mite are the twisting of the leaves down or the presence of convex gaps on them. If an infection with a tick or aphids is detected, it is necessary to treat them with biological products against these pests.
We remove the old strawberry leaves and cut through the rest of the berry, if we didn’t do it in the fall, or we just dig up the ground
If the seedlings are sluggish, with leaves beginning to turn yellow, then it should be fed. In May, depending on weather conditions and the degree of warming of the soil, seedlings need to be planted. Why first prepare the place - make a hole, pour water into it. It is best to pre-mulch the soil using peat or dry grass. Pay attention to the thickness of the mulching layer, it must be at least 10 cm so that it is not blown away by the wind or washed away by rain. Soil mulching is performed to retain moisture, create a comfortable cool atmosphere in hot weather. This technology is not applied to eggplant and pepper seedlings.
Removing the first weeds
Remove any emerging weeds. Be careful when weeding an area with perennials. In order to remove weeds along with the root, it is best to weed with your hands. Those areas that do not perennials, can be processed by special means against weeds.
We plant potatoes
The most favorable time for planting potatoes is the flowering period of bird cherry. The soil temperature should be around +12 0 C +15 0 C. Potatoes need to be prepared for planting. Remove tubers that have not sprouted, rotted or have any other shortcomings. Put the selected potatoes in a warm place to increase the intensity of germination. The depth of planting potatoes should be half the bayonet of a standard shovel. During the planting of potatoes, fertilizers can be immediately applied to the soil - ashes or straw.
Cooking trees and shrubs: we protect from pests
Fruit and berry trees and shrubs should also be processed. Spraying against pests should be carried out at the beginning of the flowering period, then spray again after 14 days.
Grafting trees
If tree grafting has been planned, now is the time to do so. There is only one limitation - you cannot vaccinate during the growing phase of the moon. This is due to the fact that during this period most of the juice is in the branches of trees, and during the waning moon - in the root system.
Work in the garden and garden, of course, does not end there, but if you do all the basic types of work, you can be sure that in the fall you will be able to harvest a good harvest.
Work in the field and in the garden requires serious knowledge. The future harvest depends on the quality and timeliness of their implementation. Therefore, farmers carry out a series of actions at a certain time. It is spring that is the period of intensive preparation for the cultivation of most crops. During this period, a number of actions are planned, which, in without fail carried out by farmers, agricultural enterprises.
What are spring work in the field and garden, should be considered in detail. This will make it possible to perform the required manipulations in the summer cottage, vast agricultural areas.
Features of work in the field and garden
Spring work in the field (photo below) is the most important period in the growing process different cultures. Winter crops require special attention from farmers.
Works in the field and in the garden differ significantly in the scale and features of the planning of events. This is due to the methods that farmers apply to these areas. Agriculture. Work in the field never stops all year round. However, in winter, the main activity in such conditions freezes.
The garden is a place for growing various vegetables, special varieties of crops. In accordance with what will grow in these conditions, the preparation of sown areas is also carried out. This is a special process that requires the farmer to have special theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
School program
The school curriculum focuses on spring work in the field. The world(Grade 4) studies this process in an overview. Students are invited to write a story about how the soil is prepared in the spring. Schoolchildren supplement their stories with photographs and drawings on this topic.
In the essay, students can describe how the preparation of sown areas is carried out. Stones are removed from them, which are pushed out of the ground by soil under pressure during severe frosts. Next, the earth is loosened to provide the root system of plants with air flow. This is necessary for their full development.
If water has stagnated on the field, it must be diverted with the help of drainage channels. Otherwise, the plants will rot. This will negatively affect the yield. Weeds, shrubs, moss, sand are removed from the soil surface. Fertilize the soil before sowing. Knowing in general terms how the field is prepared in the spring, students can write an interesting essay.
Essay example
Students write an essay about spring work in the field (Grade 4) with great pleasure. Many of them could watch how parents, grandparents are preparing for sowing vegetables, fruits, planting trees and flowers in the country house, in the garden or garden. They describe their experiences in writing. An example of a short essay is presented below.
“My parents and I are going to the country in the spring. I help them prepare the garden and vegetable garden for the summer. This is an interesting activity. I saw on TV how the fields are prepared in the spring. In the garden, our family does similar work. We are digging up the soil. Dad says it helps the seeds germinate. They get air.
Then we make a greenhouse, which is covered with a film. So the plants will not freeze if the temperature drops sharply at night. When the greenhouse warms up, my parents and I plant carrots, herbs, onions, zucchini, and beans. Dad digs holes and I put seeds in them. Mom digs seedlings and waters them with water. I really like to be with my parents in the country.
Why do we need knowledge about land preparation in spring?
The description of spring work in the field (Grade 4) allows students to realize what kind of work employees of agricultural enterprises put into the process of preparing for the sowing campaign. The schoolchildren's own experience in the country, in the garden or garden also has a positive effect on the formation of their understanding of the importance of such events.
Stories about the spring preparation of fields, vegetable gardens and orchards, personal experience comrades - all this arouses interest in farming, respect for nature. Students begin to appreciate the gifts of nature, understand how hard they are given to people.
Parents should pay attention to attracting their children to the process of preparing a garden in the spring. This will be a real adventure for students. In the process of carrying out the work, children need to explain why this or that action is being carried out.
List of field work
A story about spring work in the field will be easier to write, knowing more about this process. For each type of climate, the actions presented begin to be carried out in different time. Most often in Russia, soil preparation is carried out in the second decade of April. If the spring is warm, work is carried out earlier.
After all the stones, sand are removed, the soil is dug up, it is necessary to apply fertilizer. They must include nitrogen. Both mineral and organic compositions are important. Next, the seeds are sorted and cleaned. They sow the prepared soil.
A survey is carried out on areas that were not sown last year (they were fallow). The brought manure is plowed into the ground. After that, comprehensive measures are taken to prevent or eliminate pests. They depend on the climatic zone, natural conditions on the field.
Features of field work in spring
Simultaneously with the above activities, a number of other spring field works are carried out. In the field, trapping heaps are arranged for the larvae of the May beetles. Agricultural enterprises are working on the development fertile soils. They are dug up and fertilized.
Seedlings are planted in greenhouses. In warm climates, this procedure is performed on open field. At the same time, seeds and tubers are planted. Enterprises before starting the process of tillage and before the sowing campaign check the readiness of the equipment. Maintenance and repairs are being carried out. The speed of each subsequent operation depends on this. Equipment repair in field conditions problematic and highly undesirable.
Also in the spring, fields can be sown with special crops called green manure. They enrich the soil beneficial substances, improve its structure, have a sanitary effect on the soil. Such plants include representatives of the legume family, cereals, cruciferous crops. The scope of work in the spring period in the fields is extensive. During this period, agrarians make a lot of efforts to ensure a high level of harvest in the future.
Spring work in the garden
Spring work in the field, garden, orchard requires a lot of time and effort from farmers, agricultural workers and ordinary summer residents. In order to use the available resources rationally, you need to understand what issues need to be addressed in the first place.
Some inexperienced summer residents spend a huge amount of time on their site to get high yields. If you understand the technology of spring work, you can significantly reduce the time and amount of effort spent in the garden or vegetable garden.
The garden needs to be explored first. Shrubs, trees should be protected from the spring sun. If there is no shelter, damage to the bark may appear over time. This will negatively affect the well-being of the plant. For mature, strong trees, most often shelter is not required. It is necessary for young seedlings. Day and night temperatures are very different. Therefore, the trunks of young trees are covered with non-woven materials. In the middle of spring they can be removed.
They argue that on the south side of the trees, a peg should be installed at the trunk. It will somewhat shade the trunk during the warm season. It should be noted that bleaching seedlings is highly undesirable. This reduces their rate of development. The bark may thicken. The tree will spend energy on strengthening its defenses. At the same time, growth will be slowed down. Whitewash clogs the pores of the plant.
In the garden, you will need to trim the bushes, pruning fruit trees. This must be done before the sap flow period. If the buds are already starting to swell, do not cut. It is also required to hide evergreen shrubs from the sun. Their color will be richer. When the frosts end, the temperature drops will not be so strong. During this period, shelters can be removed.
Sequence of work in the garden
Spring work in the field, in the garden or garden must be carried out in the correct sequence. You need to choose the right plants and seeds for planting. They must be healthy, not damaged or defective.
Digging holes for planting. A plant is installed in them and the roots are sprinkled with earth. On adult fruit plants, excess shoots are cut off. When the flowering period has passed, dry inflorescences must be removed. To reduce the time for tillage, ground cover plants can be sown between the beds. Mulching is also carried out using special equipment. The amount of tedious manual labor can be significantly reduced.
It is necessary to take into account the requirements for growing each type of crop. Some plants like shade, while others like light. Watering also needs to be carried out in a timely manner. Stagnation of water in the area can lead to a decrease in yield. It is necessary to think over and equip the correct drainage system if water stagnates in the soil.
Works in the garden
Spring work in the field, in the garden requires certain knowledge and skills. It will take a lot of time to bring the soil into the desired state. In the garden, you need to remove various garbage from the beds, stones. It is important to remove insects, their larvae, weeds and other pests.
Introduce into the soil organic fertilizers. For this, compost, rotted manure or peat is suitable. This will fill the soil with the substances necessary for the growth of crops. The soil should not be too dense. If necessary, it can be made easier by adding sand to the soil. If water stagnates on the site, you need to add fine gravel to the soil. If the soil, on the contrary, is too crumbly, you need to add clay to it. It will retain moisture.
The soil needs to be loosened. At the same time, you need to dig it up. It breaks the structure. Nutrients sink deeper. This negatively affects the growth of garden crops. Therefore, loosening is used for beds. The depth of processing should not exceed 10 cm.
Completion of the preparation of the garden
Spring work in the field and garden is carried out taking into account climatic conditions. If there are frosts, large temperature drops, crops need to be covered or grown in a greenhouse.
Lawns need to be raked. If there are potholes in the soil, they need to be filled with soil. The surface of the lawn is sprinkled with fine sand and leveled. In places where the grass does not grow, it is sown again.
You need to remove shelters from plants gradually. This is done at a time when the temperature at night will be quite high. First, the plants are allowed to get used to the temperature outside. Then they are opened.
Having considered the features of spring work in the field, garden and vegetable garden, you can understand the features of this process.
Inveterate summer residents are looking forward to spring thaws to take care of their plots. At first glance, it might seem that in early spring there is nothing to do, since the earth has not yet warmed up, and in some places there is still snow. spring dacha work include a whole range of activities to improve the territory and prepare it for the next season.
Essential gardening work in March
First of all, in March or April, you need to remove all covering materials that served as good protection for plants in very coldy. All structures will have to be thoroughly washed and dried so that when the next winter season comes, you can use them at the right time.
With the first rays of the sun, not only the juicy green of the flowers appears, but weeds also begin to actively break through. Pull them up by their roots from the wet ground. Young moss is well removed with a brush and water pressure from a hose. If you use water to restore order in March, remember that you need to work at positive temperatures, otherwise you yourself will freeze, and the site will turn into an ice rink.
An important stage of work in early spring is soil mulching. On prepared soil, many plants are less susceptible to decay, so you can harvest a good crop of strawberries, cucumbers or pumpkins.
Mulch performs a decorative function, and also protects plants from the scorching rays of the sun and the March cold. For the manufacture of the mulching mixture, sawdust, straw, compost or rotten leaves are most often used.
With the first rays of the sun, summer residents start planting tree seedlings. As long as the tree is dormant, it will do best in the new ground. Spring is also considered the most good time for grafting shrubs and trees.
In early spring, there is a lot of work at the dacha, so the owners of even small plots are looking forward to when the snow melts and at least a little warmer. From spring garden work the amount of harvest in the future, as well as the beauty of your favorite site, directly depends.
Many people associate the arrival of spring with warmth, lengthening daylight hours and the desire to relax in the bosom of nature, breathing fresh air. However, if you own a garden or summer cottage, you associate spring with the start of land work. Successful spring work in the country is the key to a rich harvest and a beautiful garden. Therefore, during the period when the earth is getting rid of the annoying ice shackles, you should not waste your time, because right now you need to start preparing the site for the next harvest season. And the "Dream House" will tell you what works are the most important in the spring.
Spring work in the country
Spring starts with cleaning
Even the most well-groomed garden at the beginning of spring looks depressing: the covering material that protects the soil squinted under the weight of snow and moisture, last year's foliage turned into a pile of garbage and began to rot, and fallen branches and fallen branches accumulated under the trees. Not only does the garbage collected during the winter look extremely unaesthetic, it also negatively affects the condition of the soil. Therefore, the very first work in the country in the spring should begin with a general cleaning.
As soon as the first snow melts and the temperature stabilizes a little, collect the covering material, clean it and hide it until the next frost. Please note that if spring has not yet fully come into its own and the tree branches are covered with a snow or ice crust, it should be removed, otherwise the branches may break due to excess weight.

Spring cleaning of the garden
Spring work at the dacha
Spring cleaning of the garden, garden and cottages consists in the complete cleaning of the territory from debris, last year's leaves and grass. The easiest way to do this is with a rake and garden brush. However, you should not burn last year's foliage, because this can harm your health and the health of others. Experienced gardeners use winter debris to create compost by pouring leftover foliage into a special container or pit.
With the advent of spring, the first weeds wake up. If seedlings of horticultural enemies have already appeared through the soil, remove them right now, otherwise the grass will grow significantly in a week. In addition, in warm and humid places, such as under stones, containers, etc., moss often forms, which also has a detrimental effect on plants. It is convenient to remove the growth with a brush or a strong jet of water.

Spring at their summer cottage: preparing the soil
One of the most important stages of spring work on personal plot is tillage. As soon as the snow has completely melted and the earth stops sticking to the shovel, the soil must be dug up to remove weed roots and pest larvae from the soil.
Also, it is in the spring that the soil should be fertilized to ensure a good harvest. As a top dressing, it is recommended to use universal fertilizers, which contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
Since there are sharp fluctuations in springtime temperature regime, the soil around, trees and perennials should be mulched. It will protect root systems plants from the cold and hide them from the scorching sun. To create mulch, it is better to use fresh humus or compost.
Also, pay attention to the strength of the soil. In too heavy soil, water will stagnate at the roots of plants. To improve the quality of the land, in this case it is recommended to add coarse gravel or fine sand to it. If the soil is too loose, add clay or clay soil to it along with fertilizers, otherwise nutrients and moisture will seep deep into the soil.
Having prepared the soil, pay attention to spring work on the lawn. With the first thaw, remove the remnants of snow and ice from, providing air access to. Due to seemingly harmless remnants of ice crusts, after a while, ugly bald spots form on the lawn.

Taking care of trees and shrubs in spring
If the air temperature stays at 3-4 degrees above zero for several days in a row, it's time to start pruning fruit trees and shrubs. Pruning should begin with the largest branches, gradually going down, so that as a result the crown of the tree takes on a cup-shaped shape. However, any pruning work should be carried out before the start of the growing season.
If you plan to plant young seedlings, you need to do this immediately after the snow melts. But keep in mind that planting must be done before the buds form on the seedlings.
In addition, when caring for trees and shrubs, pay attention to fastened dry leaves. Often these leaves are nests. dangerous pests. To protect plant health, collect dry leaves and burn them.
Work in the country in early spring
We prepare seedlings
As a rule, before planting, seedlings are grown indoors or in greenhouses, but if the weather is calm outside, already in March, young plants can be taken out for several hours to acclimatize. It is possible to leave seedlings overnight in the garden only if frosts are not expected, however, insulate containers with young plants until the temperature is completely stabilized. If you grow seedlings in spring, increase ventilation to harden plants. Depending on the variety of plants, hardening is carried out for 7-10 days before planting in the ground.
