August - great time for receiving greens, garden radish, vegetables. And still the end of summer - optimum time for disembarkation of strawberry, perennials and bulbous.
Many consider that at the end of summer already late to be engaged in crops, and miss very much opportunity for receiving additional harvest of vegetables. And August - time of optimal weather patterns for many plants preferring the shortened daylight hours. Still rather warmly day and night, quite often there are rains and any more there are no those insects wreckers who so annoyed us in the spring and at the beginning of summer. So, we will take box with seeds and we will select vegetables which will surely manage to yield harvest to frosts.
Garden radish
Having seeded garden radish seeds at the beginning (and it is better even in the middle) August, in 3-4 weeks we will receive remarkable root crops, large, tasty, without signs of tsvetushnost. The garden radish perfectly grows at short daylight hours, quickly gaining weight. If to seed garden radish seeds after peas or cucumber, then the harvest much more will exceed spring landing.
For August sowing it is possible to use grades of garden radish of Heat, the Red Giant, Autumn Giant, the Firstborn, Duro.
Green cultures
Very quickly different types of salads - arugula (inda), sheet, semi-headed grow in the end of summer. Of course, it is necessary to pick up the early ripening varieties yielding full-fledged harvest in 30-50 days. For sheet salads it is the Firebird, Lolo Ross, the Gourmand, the Season of Miracles, for semi-headed - Eurydice, the Odessa Kucheryavets.
To accelerate growth of green material, it is desirable to introduce under landing complex fertilizer, for example, azophoska (30 g/sq.m).
Perfectly spinach grows at this time, he does not love heat, and August - time when to this culture it is especially comfortable.
It is necessary to seed also fennel with coriander, to feed up, it is abundant to water, and in month it is possible to cut off bunches of fragrant greens.
Cabbage
It is impossible to miss opportunity opportunity to receive young elastic kochanchik of early and ultraearly ripening varieties of white cabbage in early autumn. At this time it perfectly grows without preliminary cultivation of seedling. Seeds sow directly in bed, water and cover with spunbond.
The crop reaped in the fall is used for fermentation and cooking, it is not subject to storage. Grades for August sowing - Dumas, Parel, June.
Radish
At the beginning of August it is possible to seed all types of radish - black, Japanese, daikon, and they will yield good harvest. Radish after cucumber and squash will perfectly grow.
Beet
It is possible to count upon good fall and to seed beet. If September pleases with heat, then fresh medium-sized root crops will appear in your granaries. Of course, it is necessary to pick up early ripening varieties: Egyptian flat, Cold-resistant, Red Sphere.
Lawn grass
It is necessary to consider that besides vegetable cultures, in August it is possible to sow also lawn grass. This season, perhaps, the most optimum for laying of lawn. Seeds quickly sprout, the root system develops very intensively and soon after crops the young lawn will please with emerald shoots.
Siderata
It is necessary to take care at the end of season of future harvests, fight against weeds and to sow the empty beds seeds of sideratny cultures. At the same time it is important to have the plan of crops of vegetables for next year before eyes. So, if crops of garden radish or cabbage are planned, then on this ridge it is undesirable to sow cruciferae family (for example, mustard or colza).
At care for siderata in droughty time it is desirable to water more often them to stimulate increase of green material.
Very well enrich with organic chemistry the soil such siderata as the tributary one-year, fatseliya, oats, peas.
One-year cultures can even be not closed up to the soil before wintering, and to leave on bed, they will serve as the shelter for the soil, having protected it in the spring from washout or drying.
