Boarding days for April 2016

For seedlings

Throughout April, you can sow vegetable seeds for seedlings in warm greenhouses in order to later plant them in open ground. It could be tomatoes early varieties white and cauliflower, kohlrabi, sweet onion.

This is the requirement

If you decide to grow radishes, you will have to take into account its “weaknesses”.

The main one is that he has an underdeveloped root system. In this regard, it is necessary to strictly monitor soil moisture, especially during the formation of root crops. Radishes should be watered every two to three days, and in dry hot weather - every day, at the rate of 5-8 liters of water per square meter.

Let's add lime

If the soil on the site is acidic, and you need to plant crops on it that do not like such acidity, you can add slaked lime- no more than a quarter of the required amount. This should be done two weeks before sowing or planting.

The rest of the lime will need to be added in the fall.

We feed

At the very beginning of the growing season, it is advisable to feed sorrel and onion with urea (5-6 g per square meter). Rhubarb, along with this fertilizer, is incorporated into the soil and humus. They also mulch the bed around the plants.

Let's hurry without haste

In the first half of April, as soon as the soil warms up, you can sow carrots, parsley, scorzonera, parsnips, turnips, early beets in bunches, as well as summer radishes, peas, beans, and sunflowers. It's time for greens: dill, cilantro, various salads, mustard greens.

If the beds are ready, you can plant seeds in them Chinese cabbage, radish.

Protecting gooseberries

Spring treatment will not harm gooseberry bushes, especially damaged ones. powdery mildew. Immediately after flowering they should be sprayed with a solution baking soda(50 g soda and 50 g laundry soap per bucket of water) or mullein infusion (part manure, three parts water, leave for three days, then dilute with three parts water and strain).

And then this treatment must be repeated two or three more times with an interval of a week and a half.

They'll be there early

When sowing cucumbers in a film greenhouse, find a place there for a couple of bushes of long Chinese cucumbers. They are not picky and bear fruit from spring until autumn - just have time to pick the greens in time.

They will become bitter

You should not plant carrots near an apple tree, and melons next to cucumbers - all the fruits will become bitter. It is better for melon to grow next to radishes, and for carrots mixed with onions or garlic. You can also add oat root to it when sowing.

Cruciferous flea beetles

These insects damage young leaves of radishes, lettuce, spinach, beets, and cabbage. To protect plants from cruciferous flea beetles, you should, firstly, weed the beds in time to remove weeds - the pest reproduces and feeds on it. And secondly, you need to sprinkle the young leaves with ash or a mixture of ash and crushed tobacco (1:1). This processing is carried out twice.

Water on time

It is better to water vegetables growing in open ground in the afternoon to avoid excessive loss of moisture through evaporation.

In film and glazed greenhouses, watering should be carried out in morning hours and avoid watering in the evening, so as not to create excess humidity and the formation of water droplets on plants at night, which is especially dangerous for crops at low night temperatures.

Work in the garden according to Lunnoy sowing calendar gardener in April 2016

In April, before the buds begin to bloom, you need to finish pruning the garden, treat frost holes, cracks and other winter damage on trees, remove dry branches. As soon as the snow melts, clean up the garden: remove old compacted leaves and branches broken in winter, traces of animals on the lawn and flower beds, rake away the mulch.

To prevent fungal diseases, treat with copper-containing preparations (“Chorus”, 3% solution Bordeaux mixture). During the extension of peduncles, you need to treat black currants from kidney mite acaricides: “Fufanon”, “Neoron”, “Kinmiks”.

After warm, sunny weather has established, it is necessary to tie the raspberry shoots to the trellis, remove all coverings from heat-loving crops: grapes, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, clematis, tree peonies, carry out sanitary pruning. Apply nitrogen-containing fertilizers to lawns, feed fruit and ornamental plants, and perennials.

If vine broke or you had to cut it, cover the cut with red lead paint on natural drying oil, adding chalk and boric acid to stop the “crying” of the vine. Varieties in the north release juice from cuts less intensely than in the southern regions, but this measure in any case will save your harvest and the grapes' strength.

In late April, bare-root trees and shrubs from local nurseries can be planted. This best time for planting hydrangeas, deutsia, rhododendrons.

At this time, many indoor plants begin to put on buds, so it is advisable to replant and prune them in advance, somewhere in February-March. But it’s not too late to prune elongated shoots (oleander, pelargonium, dracaena).

Favorable days in April2016for caring for indoor plants according to the Lunar sowing calendar:

• transfer indoor plants: 1, 8-11, 17-21, 27-28;

• April is a month of contrasts. If at the beginning the weather is usually more reminiscent of winter than spring, then at the end it often seems that the cold is behind us. But that's not true. In most cases, cold snaps and even frosts are observed in mid-May, which can destroy heat-loving crops. It is for this reason that there is a list of plants that are recommended to be grown by seedlings, sowing seeds in boxes in mid-spring. What to plant in April?

  What is planted and sown in April

  Watermelons and melons. It is too early to plant them in March, since by mid-May they will grow to such an extent that they will clutter all the window sills. And in the first half of April - ideal! Just remember that they are extremely heat-loving, so you can’t plant them in garden beds. before the middle May and provided that the long-term weather forecast does not promise cold spells.

  Cucumber. Another representative of the pumpkin family. Sometimes cucumbers are even planted directly in open ground, but still, this is fraught with a shortage of harvest due to late maturing fruits Therefore, the optimal month for sowing cucumber seeds for seedlings is April, preferably the first half.

  Pumpkin. Pumpkin is even more often than cucumber sown directly into the beds. But there are two unfavorable factors that can destroy the harvest. Firstly, May is a rather contrasting month in terms of precipitation. Pumpkin seeds can either dry out in the ground or rot. Secondly, returning cold weather in mid-May can increase the likelihood of barely germinating seedlings rotting. As a result, the summer resident is left without a pumpkin. To reduce these risks, it is advisable to plant seedlings in mid-April and move them to the site when the weather stabilizes (usually the second half of May).

  Tomatoes. Indeed, it is not too late to plant them in early April, especially early ripening varieties. So, don’t be upset if you thought about doing this back in March, but for some reason you couldn’t or didn’t dare. In the same way you can sow early ripening varieties hot or sweet pepper. These restrictions are lifted if there is a greenhouse that can extend the growing season of plants by 3-5 weeks. In this case, you can put late seedlings any varieties, preferably greenhouse determinate (for tomatoes).

  Corn. This crop grows well in the middle zone and when grown in a seedless way. However, seedlings produce more early harvest long-awaited cobs. Optimal time- mid-April. Corn is a little more cold-resistant than the above types, so it can withstand uncritical May cold snaps.

  Cabbage. It is customary to plant any types of cabbage in April, and this reasonable approach. Cabbage is heat-loving, and the summer is short middle zone ends too quickly for her. In order for the heads of cabbage to ripen, cabbage seeds should be sown for seedlings in the first half of the month.

  Some flowers: dahlias, carnations, sunflowers, asters.

  The peculiarities of April plantings include the fact that the plants do not need to be illuminated, since the duration of daylight hours already exceeds 12 hours, as well as the possibility of earlier planting of some cold-resistant species (corn, sunflowers, flowers). The latter is convenient for unloading window sills, when by the beginning of May the seedlings have already become large. If long-term forecasts don't promise extreme cold, why not make it easier on yourself?

  Thus, seedling method protects the summer resident from weather risks, accelerates the fruiting of plants, increases their productivity and prolongs favorable timing for fruit ripening, since the ovaries form earlier. We wish you success in the coming season!

  To choose the most favorable days for sowing vegetable and flower crops, as well as for carrying out other work in the garden and vegetable garden, you need to check the table of works of a gardener, gardener and florist.

  Yield of the majority fruit crops largely depends on what phase of the moon the seeds or seedlings were planted in the ground. Moreover, root crops and terrestrial plants react to changes in the phases of the moon in diametrically opposite ways.

  It is generally accepted that plants that “grow upward” should be planted on the waxing Moon, and plants that “grow downward” should be planted on the waning Moon. The first group includes eggplants, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers and other plants, the main formation of fruits of which occurs above the surface of the ground. The second group includes beets, onions, carrots and other root vegetables. The fruits of these plants are formed mainly underground.

  The calculation algorithm presented in the book is used: Klimishin I.A. Calendar and chronology. - M., "Science", 1985, p. 314. The error in calculating the phases is 0.1±0.5 days. If there are 2 full moons or new moons in a month, then the program will show only the first date of the astronomical event. To calculate the second, add 29.5 to the first.
