1. Mark the diagram showing the position of the sun in autumn. Explain (verbally) your choice.

Let's take a look at the second diagram. It has signs of autumn (rain, leaf fall, the sun is low above the ground).

For understanding: the Earth revolves around the Sun, while the Earth's axis is always tilted the same way. When the axis is tilted in the direction of the sun, it seems high relative to the earth, is "directly overhead", its rays fall "vertically", this time of year is called summer. When the Earth rotates around the Sun, the axis shifts relative to it and the Sun seems to descend relative to the Earth. Its rays fall on the Earth obliquely. Autumn is coming.

2. Make a list of autumn phenomena in inanimate nature using the text of the textbook.

Answer: frost, frost, rain, fog, autumn equinox, freezing.

A fairy tale story: Somehow a bear cub wanted to feast on a honey and climbed a tree - to destroy the hive. And the forest bees are angry, they attacked the bear cub, began to sting. The little bear began to climb higher and higher up the tree. The mother bear saw this, rushed to save the bear cub, also climbed a tree, and followed him to the very top of the tree. She covers her son with herself, and the bees sting more and more. I had to climb even higher, to the very sky, so that the bees would not get it. They are still there: Ursa Major and Ursa Minor.

Or make up a story about how bears hid in a tree from a hunter, and then climbed into the sky and left the chase.

We draw bears climbing into the sky from the top of a tree.

Stars: Venus, Sirius, Polaris.

4. Write a story about one of the constellations in the autumn sky. Use for this information from the atlas-determinant, other books, the Internet (at your discretion).

Story: Bootes or the Shepherd is a constellation in the sky of the northern hemisphere. It is observed both in summer and autumn. It looks like a man guarding a herd. The imagination of ancient people drew him with a staff and two dogs. There are several myths about this constellation, but the most interesting one says that the first plowman on earth was turned into this constellation, who taught people to work the land. The constellation Bootes includes the very bright star Arcturus next to Ursa Major, and it itself resembles a fan.

If you want, invent a fairy tale about the constellations of the autumn sky. Write it down on a separate sheet and arrange it beautifully.

First you need to find out which constellations are visible in the sky of the northern hemisphere in autumn. They are depicted and signed in the figure:

About any of them or about all at once we come up with a fairy tale.

Fairy tale: People lived in the same city. They were kind and honest, they achieved everything with their work. Among them was a shepherd who grazed cattle, a charioteer, twin children, an Aquarius who carried water from a well, beautiful maidens and Cassiopeia and many others. They also had domestic animals: a calf, a ram, a horse, hounds. And when the boy Perseus began to play the flute, all the animals from the nearby forest came to listen to him: a cunning fox, and a lynx, and a lion, and a she-bear with a cub. Fish swam to the shore, a whale and a dolphin. Even the fabulous unicorn and dragon listened to the gentle melody. But one autumn, a volcanic eruption began near the town. He burned forests and fields, dropped houses and was ready to burn the city and all its inhabitants. But the huge dragon said to the people: you have never harmed anyone, you are all very good and I will save you. He gathered on his back everyone who could fit in and carried him to heaven. So they shine from the sky to this day and the constellation Perseus, and the dragon, there was a place for everyone in the night autumn sky.

The time of the end of the warm season and the beginning of the cold season is considered one of the hottest periods in the life of summer residents, since work is especially actively carried out in the garden and vegetable garden in autumn. Particular attention is paid to harvesting, summing up the summer season, as well as preparing for the winter season.

The entire extensive list of work in the garden and garden is conditionally divided into periods, and for each of the months - September, October and November, one or another list of tasks is determined. These activities in autumn have much in common with spring activities, but the focus is now on preparing plants for winter, as well as harvesting the garden. For each autumn month, as well as, the implementation of certain events is intended, and it is important not to miss the terms favorable for their implementation. What kind of work in the garden and garden is done in September, October and November?

Compared to the summer months, the days become much shorter and the air temperature drops noticeably. The main types of work during this period are:

Sanitary cleaning

The first step is to start removing the weeds that grow on the site, as well as get rid of dry vegetation and foliage. Do not neglect the harvesting of fallen fruits, since they are the home for many pests, which, with the onset of the first warm weather, will begin to increase their population. All collected dry leaves, as well as diseased branches, must be destroyed or taken out of the suburban area.

September is considered a favorable period for circumcision and transplantation. perennials, since the earth is well saturated with moisture and heat, and there is plenty of time for good rooting until the first frost appears. In addition, bulbous plants such as daffodils, lilies and crocuses are also planted. It is during this period that coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs, as well as raspberries, gooseberries and blackberries.

In some regions, the beginning of autumn is a favorable period for sowing lawns, but this must be done with caution. After all, autumn weather is quite deceptive and frosts can replace warm and humid days, in which case all work will have to start from scratch.

Garden preparation

In September, an active harvest is carried out in the garden. The beginning of the month is a favorable period for digging up potatoes and root crops such as carrots and beets, and at the end of the month it is recommended to start picking pumpkins, zucchini and cabbage.

Do not forget about fertilizing the soil. Many summer residents prefer compost, which is a natural fertilizer, while others choose organic in the form of manure, humus or peat. Since nitrogen fertilizers have a stimulating effect on plant growth, they should be discarded.

Making time for trees and shrubs

The end of the month is a favorable time for planting young seedlings, however, the ideal period for heat-loving plants is still spring. It is worth paying attention to the harvesting and planting of currant cuttings. Preparing shrubs for winter consists of three stages: cutting off old branches, and hilling procedure.

It is possible to improve the movement of air, as well as the access of oxygen to the root system, by loosening the soil around the tree. The cultivation of the land around shrubs is recommended to be carried out taking into account the individual characteristics of a particular plant. For example, currants have a positive attitude towards deep loosening of the soil, and raspberries like loosening only the surface layer of the soil.

Of no small importance is the whitewashing of the garden, which is considered the final stage in the preparation of trees and shrubs for the winter season. Many summer residents consider whitewashing only a way to protect plants from garden pests, and therefore it should be produced only in the spring. However, this opinion is erroneous, since whitewashed trees become less susceptible to severe frosts that occur at the top of winter.

What else is worth paying attention to this month?

• The lawn is cut and combed with a fan rake. To improve soil drainage, the procedure for piercing the lawn with an ordinary pitchfork is carried out.
• Small-sized artificial reservoirs located on the territory of the summer cottage need to be drained. All equipment and vegetation is stored in a special room. Do not forget about cleaning the reservoirs, as well as removing various debris.
• September is a period of active harvesting, therefore, a room intended for storing vegetables and fruits must undergo a disinfection procedure using soda or formalin rasters. This will help prevent infection of the fruit with mold, as well as increase their shelf life.
• Active work is underway to catch and destroy garden pests, since some of them begin to lay eggs on tree trunks during this period.
• In the greenhouse, it is necessary to remove the top layer of soil, since it is he who is good place for wintering pests of the garden and vegetable garden. The collected earth is mixed with compost and poured into a compost pit.
• In order to prevent the growth of the root system of raspberries and sea buckthorn to the sides, slate or roofing material, folded in several layers, is dug into the ground.
• At the beginning of the month, in order to increase the yield next year, the leaves of strawberries and strawberries are cut, and they are also fed with organic fertilizers.

Autumn work in October

Summer cottages, located in close proximity to the metropolis, still feel the breath of warmth, which is explained by the influence of the "greenhouse" effect. More remote territories sink deeper and deeper into power natural conditions. October is the average autumn month, which is characterized by the process of abundant leaf fall and the complete end of the summer season for colder regions.

Necessary attention to trees and shrubs

The second month of autumn is a suitable period for planting young seedlings and renewing the orchard. If it becomes necessary to transplant mature trees, you have to wait for their foliage to completely fall off and only then start work.

In October, they transplant fruit shrubs to a permanent habitat, and also begin preparing trees for the winter season. To do this, the near-stem circles are carefully loosened, and then, after careful watering, the soil is warmed with dry leaves, grass or manure.

Until the end of October, it is recommended to plant trees and shrubs with an open root system, since a later time is only suitable for planting plants with closed roots. Pruning of diseased, dry branches and branches that do not differ in abundance of the crop must be completed before the onset of the first frost. In October, work continues on the formation of the crowns of trees and shrubs, and they stop with the onset of sub-zero temperatures.

Preparing flowers and bulbs

At the end of October, all plantings of bulbous plants need to be mulched with peat or humus, which will allow them to survive the cold season favorably. Until the middle of the month, it is necessary to dig up gladioli, dahlias and begonias in order to move them to a special room for wintering. It is recommended to carry out such work at positive air temperatures in sunny and clear weather.

Do not forget about the preparation of perennials that remain to winter in the ground. It is important to pay attention to the condition of the leaves: dead and diseased foliage must be cut and burned. To improve the condition of the soil, the earth around the flowers should be loosened and the necessary portion of fertilizer should be applied.

You can start planting annuals such as aster, calendula, poppy and cornflowers, taking into account the state of the weather. It is necessary to sow seeds for the winter in cold weather at the first sign of freezing of the soil, so that they, once in an earthen clod, hibernate. Warm and sunny weather can provoke the growth of the plant in this season, which will lead to its death.

In October, they begin to prepare flower beds for spring planting, which includes loosening the soil, destroying weeds and leveling the surface layer of the soil. It is already too late to seed the lawn this month, as unexpected frosts can cause the death of young shoots.

garden chores

Of all the variety of crops growing in the garden, the most cold-resistant is lettuce, which is able to sit quietly in the garden before the onset of winter and the appearance of snow. After the onset of the first frosts, its green shoots are cut and wrapped with any nonwoven fabric. For the winter in open ground there is also a leek, which feels comfortable all winter in a layer of compost or sawdust.

The tops of potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers remaining from the harvest must be collected and destroyed. The remains of such vegetable crops are poisonous, so you should not use them for compost, and also bury them in the ground to rot.

At the end of October, it is recommended to start planting dill, lettuce, spinach and radish. The ideal weather conditions for this process will be cold autumn weather, but without severe freezing of the soil. If a light crust of ice has appeared on the ground, then this is absolutely not scary, such soil is quite suitable for sowing seeds.

After the plots are completely harvested from the crop, the garden is dug up, which differs from doing this type of work in the spring. In autumn, you should not break up large clods of earth during digging, as is done before preparing the soil for planting vegetables. This is due to the fact that a large number of garden pest larvae accumulate in the ground, which are located there for hibernation. Large clods freeze much better than small ones, which leads to the death of harmful insects.

Final cleaning of the pond

When preparing the pond for winter, it is worth trimming underwater oxygenator plants that enrich the water with oxygen, as well as dark coastal plants. Work should be done in such a way that the stems protrude several centimeters above the water, which will allow oxygen to enter the water during the freezing of the pond, as well as bring harmful and toxic substances to the surface from the depths of the pond. To complete the cleaning of the pond, it is necessary to remove the flowers and leaves of water lilies, as well as transferring non-frost-resistant aquatic plants into the house.

What else are we doing at this time on the site

• Work continues on restoring order in the garden and vegetable garden;
• trees and shrubs are transplanted, which have already completely shed their foliage;
• in the garden, soil is being prepared for the upcoming spring plantings. It includes the application of potash and phosphate fertilizers, as well as manure and ash. To increase the degree of protection of the soil and better warm it up in early spring, cover the finished ridges with a black film;
• if there is soil with high acidity on the site, liming with chalk or lime is carried out.

Final work for the winter in the garden and vegetable garden in November

November is the last month of autumn, finally closing the summer season. This month is distinguished by its grayness, gloomy, large quantity precipitation and the appearance of the first permanent snow at the end of the month. The short duration of the day, the cold weather is increasingly reminiscent of the fact that the summer season is coming to an end. However, even now for a real gardener there are many activities in the garden and garden.

Tree and shrub care

For fruit trees and berry bushes a state of deep dormancy is characteristic, and cold weather contributes to the natural hardening of plants. Young seedlings threw off their yellowed foliage and got rid of the fruits, and right now the cuttings are a real pantry of the vital energy of the plant, which will actively manifest itself when nature awakens in the spring.

A suitable temperature for storing cuttings is considered to be from minus 2 to + 4 degrees, which is quite problematic to provide at home (but it is quite possible in the basement of the garage). There are several ways to store cuttings, the most common of which are:

• The cuttings are placed under the snow cover and stored there throughout the winter. However, this method is not entirely reliable, since winters have recently been distinguished by a small amount of snow and their unpredictability;
• for storage, you can use a cold room, such as a basement. This method is not suitable for all plants, and early thaws that warm a house with a basement can provoke the awakening of the cuttings ahead of time;
• with a small number of cuttings, you can use the refrigerator as a storage room.

In recent years, there has been a protracted autumn with an abundance of rain, which reduces the resistance of plants to the effects of cold weather, so it is important to warm them up for the winter. On branches bare of leaves, one can see the nests of ringed and gypsy moth, hawthorn and golden tail, which must certainly be removed and destroyed.

November is a favorable time for sanitary pruning of diseased trees, as well as those affected by a large number of pests, and stripping the trunks. Fallen leaves and diseased fruits must be removed from the site and tree trunks treated. In November, the whitewashing of tree trunks with lime mortar ends, as well as the binding of boles and skeletal branches using spruce legs, cherry and plum branches. If a frosty winter is expected, then you should take care of the raspberries: the shoots are tied to each other and bent to the ground. Under dense snow cover, the plant will be able to safely survive the winter.

It is worth taking care of protection winter garden from hares and rodents, choosing as their home places with a large accumulation of garbage, branches, straw and manure. Usually tree trunks are wrapped with old newspaper, on top of which a layer of roofing material, oilcloth or thick fabric and sprinkle the resulting structure with earth.

The planting of crops such as hawthorn, mountain ash and viburnum is being completed, the seedlings of which are placed in a pre-fertilized pit, covered with earth and watered with the right amount of water.

What do we do in the garden

In November at southern regions the final harvest of the grown crop is carried out, and the digging of the soil free from planting is also carried out. This work must be completed before the first snow, otherwise a copious amount of moisture will penetrate the soil, which will evaporate in the spring for a long time.

Despite the frozen soil, various vegetable crops are planted in the garden in November. Cold weather will not allow the seeds to germinate, and during the winter, under the cover of snow, they will have the opportunity to harden and germinate in full force with the advent of the first spring warmth. Vegetable crops that remain in the open field for the winter should be covered with peat, humus, or covered with fallen leaves. Planting crops such as onion, parsley, lettuce, dill, Chinese cabbage and other types of vegetable crops.

It is necessary to complete the preparation of seeds for the upcoming sowing summer season, which are obtained from pre-cut and dried seeds of beets, carrots and other vegetables. If necessary, they are carefully threshed, and the resulting seeds are sieved and packaged in bags. The preparation of mineral fertilizers for the spring season is being completed, and it is also necessary to shovel the compost and add water or slurry to it if necessary.

Preparing a flower garden for winter

In November, the final preparation of the flower garden and its inhabitants for the upcoming winter is carried out. Perennial plants are pruned to a height of 15-20 cm, which will keep snow on them during the winter. The flower garden is being cleaned from diseased plant residues, and dry and healthy ones are used to cover such flower plants like roses, clematis, honeysuckle honeysuckle and others. Old plantings of perennials must be watered with mineral fertilizers, and young ones should be covered with peat or humus, which will allow them to survive favorably. cold winter and not freeze.

The tubers of such plants as gladiolus, dahlias, as well as the rhizome of cannes are reviewed, the diseased ones are rejected, while the healthy ones are placed in storage. To preserve the begonia tubers, they are cleaned from the ground, then dried well and placed in a perforated plastic bag, which is placed in wet sand, peat or sawdust.

Warming work in progress climbing roses, which are a heat-loving plant and are little adapted to life in cold conditions. Before the onset of the first cold weather, their shoots must be pressed to the ground with the help of hairpins, spud them with peat or humus, and cover with the paws of coniferous trees.

Last this year cares about the reservoir

November no longer pleases with clear and sunny weather, but such luck falls out, it is worth thinning out the overgrown plants in the water flower garden. It is necessary to cut off floating plants at the base with special scissors and remove it from the reservoir. It is necessary to carry out this procedure on the condition that they occupy a large surface of the reservoir, which can lead to the formation of impassable thickets.

All algae, as well as fallen leaves, are removed from the water. AT artificial reservoirs no need to drain the water until it is completely empty, you can only make the mirror area a little smaller. Plastic bottles, filled with water and submerged to the bottom of the reservoir, will help maintain the shape of the reservoir bed and not deform. Reservoirs with fish are by no means drained, the fish in them are only immersed in water. hibernation. In the southern regions, with sufficiently warm water and soil, you can start planting new plants in the coastal zone.

Autumn is more than just harvesting. Favorite time is the time of work, care of the earth and plants. The next year's harvest depends on the autumn work. All owners of country estates know: how to prepare for the winter, you will harvest such a crop in the fall.

The autumn period is important for preparatory work before the onset of cold weather. Any owner, even a small one, wants to keep his garden and plants on the site during the winter months. land area. What works are most important, how to properly build preparations for winter, what must be done - this is only part of the necessary knowledge.

Harvesting and harvesting for the winter

The right approach to harvesting will ensure the successful completion of the season of labor and unrest. Collection rules are simple. The main requirement: to have time to collect all ripe fruits before frost. Lowering the temperature for most plants comes down to damage, rotting or complete destruction. Basic rules for collecting and harvesting:

1. Prepare storage space and containers. Each type of grown product has its own place of storage. What kind of room it will be, the owner decides. But in any place everything is arranged according to the established order. Chaotic piling up leads to the need to find the right workpiece.
2. Create a neighborhood. Banks, dried foods, fresh fruits cannot be just around. Some aromas interrupt neighboring ones and spoil their individuality and special taste. Therefore, for blanks, it is supposed to create cells, shelves, compartments. Why are plastic containers prepared, for other types of wicker baskets or wooden boxes.
3. To study the features of maturation. Many berries, vegetables and fruits ripen gradually. Therefore, they are not collected all at once, but in parts. Then it is easier to carry out processing, there will be no blockage in economic problems.
4. Thorough check before placing in storage containers. One damaged fruit can lead to the death of the entire batch.

How to store is a priority only for the owner of the site and his family members. The pleasure of the harvest will be provided by the type of harvesting that we most prefer.

The right approach to harvesting will ensure the successful completion of the season of labor and unrest.

Replanting shrubs and trees

Autumn transplantation requires accuracy and careful preparation. In order not to damage the plant when changing its location, the following actions are carried out:

• clean the root neck;
• pour plenty of water;
• find the contours of the location of the underground part of the bush;
• dig around outlines;
• prepare a trolley or other container for transporting the plant.

If the movement is long, then a fabric bag will be required, where the root system will be placed. In addition, it is necessary to tie the upper part, especially if it is sprawling and wide.

In the place where it is supposed to plant a new plant, also carry out preparatory work:

• a hole is being prepared;
• the land is fertilized;
• let the soil settle (calm down from mechanical actions).

Immediately after the delivery of the bush to a new site, you should not rush to transplant. First you need to evaluate the correspondence between the sizes of the hole and the root system. The hole should be slightly larger. So, so as not to push the roots, but calmly spread them out at the bottom of the prepared recess. The earth is not tamped, but simply falls asleep. If they dug up a tree with a clod of earth, they do not try to beat it off. Everything that was brought from the old place is placed in a new hole. After the first sprinkling with soil, the bush is watered. Then the earth is added, watered again and left until the morning. Water should not be spared: it is easier for the plant to gain a foothold in moist soil. The next day the tree is checked. Must See, whether the bush is formed correctly. If there are weak shoots, extra branches, they are removed. Experienced gardeners cover young fruit trees with a special cloth, which is removed only in early spring.

Autumn top dressing

By sharing the harvest, the plants of the garden become weaker. It can be compared with people after a working day. Leaving weakened crops for the winter means leaving them unprotected against the challenges of the upcoming snow season. What fertilizer to apply will tell the quality of the soil. It must be returned to the state of the beginning of the fruiting season. Feed should be purchased ready-made compositions of microelements and home-made mixtures:

• humus;
• superphosphate;
• potassium salt.

Strawberry varieties require mandatory feeding. Immediately after collecting the last sweet berries, old leaves are cut off, the soil is loosened, weeds are removed. Then mineral fertilizers are applied. What can be used:

• ammophos;
• humus;
• peat.

There are special ones that contain a whole range of necessary substances. Proper feeding will strengthen the plants, they will survive the winter more easily and give a new crop.

Cleaning the garden from leaves and grass

Autumn leaf fall is beautiful, but also adds a lot of trouble for gardeners. A huge amount of foliage covers the ground. The question arises whether it is necessary to remove the foliage and where to put it. There are several approaches to the problem. Everyone chooses their own solution:

1. Creation of compost pits. Scientists warn about the reproduction of pests of horticultural crops in fallen leaves. To save the site from diseases, choose a place to create humus. Experienced gardeners advise digging a hole at the end of the site, in its shaded part. A box is created on the surface, up to the level of the fence. Leaves, weeds, and other unnecessary plants are put there. Everything that gets into the pit rots and makes it possible to get excellent fertilizer for most plants.
2. Creation of a protective layer. The foliage is collected in small piles, distributed under garden trees. The root system receives additional protection and trace elements that fall into the ground during the long winter. Leaves protect flower crops well, so flower beds can be covered with foliage.
3. Covering material for strawberries. There is a described experience when strawberries are covered with foliage between beds.

Lawns must be cleared of leaves. It is dangerous to cover such areas. If you leave the leaves, then in the spring at its location yellow spots will be visible from the dampness of the lawn grass.

Mulching and sheltering garden plants in autumn

The mulching method will help overwinter the most whimsical crops. Advantages of autumn shelter:

• moisture retention;
• loosening the soil;
• overheat protection;
• preservation of trace elements useful for roots and stems;
• control of weed growth.

Mulching creates the right environment for crops. The earth remains moist and warm.

How can you mulch the soil:

1. Fallen autumn leaves : during the winter period, the foliage rots, the soil is naturally fertilized, its quality is improved. In autumn, when digging, the foliage gets inside, improving the condition of the root systems, increasing the access of air and moisture.
2. conifer needles: do not allow the earth to freeze and dry out. The needles are not used for land that will be used for growing tomatoes.
3. wood shavings and bark: better such material is not suitable for full mulching, but partial. Only one of the lowest layers is created from wood residues, the top one from others (needles, foliage).
4. Remains of plants bearing fruit in summer: Heaps are rolled from old plants and placed on top of the soil in a thin layer.
5. Sawdust: only old ones that have aged for more than one season will do. Sawdust is placed where frequent digging and loosening is not required.
6. Bark: maintains the desired temperature under itself, does not allow cold air, maintains the desired level of humidity.
7. Newspapers: inhibit the growth of weeds, retains heat. The newspaper is laid whole, you can tear it into small pieces. Choose only black and white or color is not worth it. The quality of printing does not affect the desired effect, any newspaper editions are suitable.
8. Hay: holds back the weight of snow, retains the air layer, does not allow the roots to freeze or dry out.

Any layer of mulch needs to be monitored when it loses its quality or is renewed or changed. Autumn mulching is designed to ensure that any material used will overwhelm during the winter and in the spring will not interfere with the soil, naturally warming up under the sun.

Preparing the garden for winter

Any site needs to be prepared for the winter cold. The frosty season can damage bare trees. Rules have been developed for preparation, there are many tips that can help experienced and novice gardeners.

Harvest in autumn

The collection of everything that the earth gave after the labors invested in it will please. But only the one who does all the work measuredly, slowly, without tension and fear that he did not do everything and not in the right way will receive true pleasure. The whole of September and August is scheduled by experienced gardeners for a particular crop. There are even fixed dates:

• onions - September 20;
• vegetables - September 28;
• cabbage - the end and middle of September;
• October 1 - the end of the collection.

In October and November, they no longer work with plants, but with buildings. They are also prepared for the winter. These are the days for the last blanks and laying them in storage.

The collection of everything that the earth gave after the labors invested in it will please

Fertilization and planting green manure in the fall

The practice of agricultural work in the autumn confirms that some of the actions can become laborious and useless. These include plowing the land with the introduction of fertilizers and manure into it. In the spring, everything will have to be repeated again. Manure and fertilizers are simply spread over the surface without covering them with a new layer of soil. Ash is considered one of the best helpers for the soil before winter. Therefore, it is advised to collect it in advance. Any remnants of paper, branches, boards are burned and stored in buckets. Ash - organic fertilizer capable of saturating the soil with important trace elements.

Green manures create a crop rotation in the field. Immediately after the snow melts, they will please their owners with the first greenery. For green manure, special compatibility tables have been created. They explain which crops can be planted one after the other. The roots of green manure crops will fulfill the task assigned to fertilizer, they will improve the condition of the soil, restore its quality and characteristics. Types and roles of green manure:

• loosening: rye, mustard, oats;
• disinfection: radish, calendula, oats;
• improvement of fertile characteristics: legumes, oats, alfalfa;
• pest protection: marigolds, lupins, calendula.

The soil will be fertilized and fertile if mustard, beans, rye and rapeseed are sown before the snow cover.

Ash is an organic fertilizer capable of saturating the soil with important microelements

Autumn planting in the garden

Part of green manure is planted before winter, such work will speed up the time until the harvest. There are several advantages of autumn plantings:

• landing early horticultural crops;
• soil loosening;
• additional saturation of the soil with the necessary microelements;
• protection from the spring sun and unexpectedly returning spring frosts;
• transition to mulch.

What is better to plant before winter:

• fruit trees;
• deciduous tree species;
• ornamental shrubs;
• fruit and berry bushes;
• bulbous flowers;
• perennial flower crops.

There are some plants that, when planted before winter, will give the desired harvest and early shoots.

• Garlic;
• Carrot;
• Parsley;
• Dill;
• Parsnip;
• Sorrel.

In autumn, they work with grafted rose bushes. They have time to take root and overwinter more easily.

The last warmth, the aroma of blooming chrysanthemums, the air permeated with pleasant coolness and the smell of falling leaves - the beginning of the hottest season in the life of everyone who has household plot. Already at the end of August, summer residents smoothly turn into active autumn work in the garden and vegetable garden, which will have to be completed before the onset of the first frost.

Whether it is necessary to dig and fertilize the soil in winter, how to prune and insulate trees and shrubs, what seeds can be sown, Dream House will tell about this and more today.

What work in the garden and on the site is done in the fall

Beginners in this difficult but fruitful business at first have enough questions regarding work on the site in the fall.

If you make a list of them, it will look something like this:

1. Collecting the remaining crop and seeds for sowing next year.
2. Systematic cleaning of fallen leaves and preparation of fertilizers from it.
3. Cleaning of tops and unfit for consumption vegetables and fruits.
4. Propagation of perennial shrubs by division or layering.
5. Pruning of garden trees, fruit and ornamental shrubs, haircut.
6. Flowerbed care.
7. Vegetation warming.
8. Autumn top dressing of the soil and mulching.
9. Planting winter crops.
10. Fertilizer and.
11. Cleaning in a greenhouse or greenhouse.
12. Cleaning of reservoirs.
13. Cleansing from dry foliage drains.

Let us consider in more detail what the autumn work is in the local area, in the garden, vegetable garden and flower garden.

Work in the garden in autumn

In addition to the fact that in the garden more often than in other areas you need to deal with autumn leaf fall, you have to perform many other actions.

Since fallen leaves are a valuable compost material, they should not be burned. Prepare recesses or special boxes and dump foliage there for further organic fertilizer.

Do not rush to remove the fruits of late varieties of apples and pears until they are fully ripe. Their ripeness is determined by the color of the grains, they should be brown. In order not to damage the fruits, they must be removed, not crushed. Harvest immediately after harvest is placed for storage in a cool place. Do the same with grapes.

What to do in the garden in the fall, when all the fruits have already been collected? In addition to harvesting and harvesting, attention must be paid to all trees and bushes. Without proper care, they can freeze or get sick and die, which will reduce future yields.

Autumn is the time for planting fruit seedlings, transplanting trees and shrubs, but only after they shed their foliage. Also in the autumn period, division and digging of layers of gooseberries, currants, yoshta, raspberries, blackberries is carried out.

It is processed from pests, cut off and insulated at the base for the winter.

On young trees that have not yet fruited, pinch long shoots to speed up lignification.

It is necessary to cut the branches of trees that have shrunken and are affected by diseases, as well as to clean the trunks of dead bark and moss.

Berry bushes and fruit trees are dug deep around. This process will provide access to the root system of moisture and oxygen, as well as help to locate and destroy the habitats of harmful insects.

Then, for a successful wintering of fruit trees and shrubs, the soil near the root zone is loosened, shed well and insulated with foliage, peat or mulch. The trunks of young trees, up to 4-5 years old, which are still weakly hardened and may not tolerate frost, must be insulated with burlap or fleece.

Additional protection against frost and garden pests, as well as the final stage of work in the garden in the fall and preparing trees and shrubs for wintering, is their whitewashing.

The most time-consuming autumn work in the country is gardening. In September, the "extraction" of potatoes, the collection of tomatoes, sweet peppers, eggplant, cabbage, rutabaga and carrots ends. The next step is to clean up weeds, tops and fallen, unsuitable fruits from the beds.

The remaining tops of potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes cannot be used for compost, as they are poisonous. It must be collected and destroyed.

On the harvested land from the remnants of the crop, you can sow plants for the winter. Planting vegetables in the fall means getting an early harvest in the spring.

The best time for this is the end of October and the beginning of November. Places should be chosen such that snow does not blow away in winter, and water does not stagnate in spring. The selected site must be fertilized and loosened, as well as set marks that will indicate that the site is occupied.

Winter garlic, onions are planted from vegetables in open ground, seeds of carrots, parsley, dill, sorrel, parsnips, cilantro, lettuce, spinach are sown. To protect against frost, all crops that will winter in the ground are mulched. Spicy plants, such as sage, thyme, also require warming. For their shelter, spruce branches are used.

Podzimny sowing, both garden crops and flowers, should not be carried out until the end of October - beginning of November, as a sudden warming will give seed growth, and the cold will immediately take life from young sprouts.

In autumn, for a good future harvest, cut the leaves of strawberries and strawberries. Further, for their favorable wintering, they fertilize and insulate.

Finally, the beds free from crops are dug up and fertilizers are scattered. When digging in the autumn, there is no need to loosen and level the ground. Huge clods freeze much better than small ones, which leads to the death of pests and their larvae accumulated in the soil.

Autumn work in the local area and flower beds

Front gardens and flower beds in autumn are a real decoration of the yard. Until the first frosts, they delight with their colors, which smoothly pass from one to another.

To maintain such beauty all autumn, you need proper care per summer cottage: timely remove flowering annuals, diseased and shrunken branches of perennials and ornamental bushes, falling leaves and weeds, and also fertilize the soil.

Before the onset of frost, you should cut and insulate rose bushes, dig up and store tubers of dahlias, gladiolus, freesia, begonias, cannes rhizomes. must be removed from the supports, pressed to the ground and covered with spruce branches.

Many perennial flowers, such as hydrangeas, clematis, heather, are resistant to winter frosts, but it does not hurt to cover them with spruce branches, sawdust or fallen leaves, with the exception of asters, bergenia and horned violets, which are under protective layer may rot.

In winter, annuals such as poppies, cornflowers, asters, calendula, and primrose are sown. Also, bulbs of tulips, lilies are planted in open ground, daffodils are planted by dividing the root system.

Autumn is the time to enrich landscape design ornamental vegetation, trees, shrubs, flowers and grass. Under the conditions of autumn planting, the plants are in the most favorable conditions.

It consists of such procedures as watering the grass, mowing it, fertilizing with mineral fertilizers and aerating the soil.

Early and competent autumn work in the garden is the key to a plentiful, high-quality and tasty harvest of the next season, as well as the unquenchable beauty of the entire courtyard.

Autumn is the period when we need to prepare the garden and the garden for winter period. It is at this time that we need to lay the foundation for a successful and fruitful harvest for the next season.

In this article we will talk about what work we will need to do in the garden and garden in the fall.

What work to do in the garden and garden in September?

Garden. In the first month of autumn, we need to harvest the remaining crop (with the exception of some sub-winter species) and start preparing the plants for the winter period. Very many inexperienced gardeners very often make the same mistake: the apples on the tree are overexposed, in connection with which they overripe and crumble.

Such fruits very quickly lose their taste qualities and they cannot be stored for a long time. In addition, with a belated harvest, the tree will spend additional strength, which of course will affect its health in the winter.

Also, do not forget that winter varieties of apples must be removed from trees before consumer maturity, they will ripen during storage.

September, one might say, is a kind of transitional period, that is, instead of the work that we did in the summer, we begin to switch to autumn work.

Already at the end of the month it will be possible to start digging the soil in the trunk circles, as well as start fertilizing.

In the first decade of September, we plant rooted currant cuttings (white, red, black).

After the gooseberries and currants are harvested, it will be possible to begin to thin out the bushes. We make raspberry pruning in this way, remove the fruited shoots and new underdeveloped ones.

We dig up the soil around the berry bushes, at the same time introducing organic and mineral fertilizers.

At the end of September, for planting, we begin to take tree seedlings from the nursery, rooted cuttings of berry cuttings.

In the first half of September, we begin to plant seedlings of head lettuce in a heated spring or winter greenhouse. For this plant great importance has an irrigation regime that will be carried out in the autumn - winter period, that is, in order to avoid the appearance of rot, watering should not be too frequent.

In September, we begin to stock up on soil, peat, compost and manure. We continue to actively look after the autumn plants of tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, etc.

We begin to disinfect the walls and racks of the greenhouse, frames, using for this purpose a 40% formalin solution or infusion of bleach (400 g per 10 liters of water).

In the first half of September in heated film winter greenhouses you can plant parsley. By January, you will already have 2 crops of parsley. We do the same with celery.

You can also take up harvesting the rhizomes of perennial vegetable plants.

Garden in the open field. In September, it will be possible to start harvesting carrots, tomatoes, onions, zucchini, parsley, celery. This work is the most important in the garden in this autumn month. We begin to clean the beds that are freed from vegetable crops from plant residues, weeds, and then proceed to digging.

By this time, all preparatory work on the storage of vegetable crops should be completed.

In the first half of September, we still continue to care for late varieties of cabbage.

What work to do in the garden and garden in October?

Garden. In October, it will already be possible to start pruning trees. We begin to clean the stems of fruit trees from the dying bark. With the help of lime mortar, we whitewash boles and skeletal branches.

We spray the crowns of trees with the same solution. After the leaves fall, we treat the trees with a 6-8% solution of ferrous sulfate.

We continue to cultivate the soil in the near-trunk circles, while introducing organic and mineral fertilizers, and, if necessary, lime.

October is also a more suitable period to fertilize fruit and berry plants. In cases where autumn turned out to be without rain, and fruit trees were not watered so often, we carry out water-charging winter irrigation along the near-stem circular ditches. The soil itself must be moistened to a depth of 50-60 cm.

Also, after the period of leaf fall, you can not leave fallen leaves under the trees (we collect them and burn them).

Heaps with grass and manure, branches and brushwood, if possible, take out of the site. Thus, you can eliminate the likelihood of attracting mice to the site for the winter.

So that under the weight of snow the branches of young trees do not break, we tie them together.

In order to protect the bark in early spring from rodents and from sunburn, we tie the boles with roofing felt, roofing felt or spruce forest.

We begin to cover the trunk circles with humus, peat, spud them with soil from the row-spacing. With the fall of the first snow, we throw it as much as possible on trunk circles.

Berries are also starting to prepare for the winter period. We carry out soil cultivation, while necessarily introducing organic and mineral fertilizers.

We tie young currant and gooseberry bushes so that they are not broken by snow. We untie raspberry shoots from the trellis. We bend and pin their tops to the ground or connect adjacent bushes to each other.

After finishing the processing of berry plantations, cover the plantings with peat or humus, but so that the middle of the bushes is not covered.

Vegetable garden in a greenhouse or greenhouse. In October, we sow new varieties of parsley for greens. To on new year holidays fresh greens appeared on our table, we plant root crops with petioles and keep them under temperature regime 4-8°C

We carry out preparatory work for the cultivation of vegetable crops in the new season. We begin to wipe the wire frame with kerosene, on which the film of the spring greenhouse has been holding all this time.

To disinfect the wooden parts of the greenhouse, we use a 10% solution of copper sulfate.

In October, you must definitely stock up on fresh soil, peat and humus, since in the future you may not have such an opportunity.

Garden in the open field. In October, we need to complete all harvesting work with crops grown in the open field.

We remove all plant debris from the vacated beds and begin to dig up the soil, but at the same time introducing fertilizers. During digging, we also remove the rhizomes of perennial weeds, and destroy the pest larvae (if any).

What work to do in the garden in November?

Garden. This month of autumn, all work is on garden plot must be completed. Every day the soil begins to freeze deeper and deeper. Before the onset of frost, we will need from outdoor water pipes and barrels, drain water, remove watering hoses from the garden, clean and dry all gardening equipment.

To not wash away fertile soil, across the existing slope on the site we make furrows. In ventilated areas, we place shields and other means of snow retention.

The snowless period for the roots of fruit and berry crops can be very dangerous, and therefore you need to take care of their safety. With the help of peat and spruce branches, we cover the trunk circles. For these purposes, you can also use a special covering material.

Garden in greenhouse and greenhouse. In November, the fruiting period of autumn-winter crops - cucumbers, tomatoes and head lettuce - ends.

After the disinfection, the greenhouse can be used for forcing green onions, sorrel, celery, parsley.

Garden in the open field. In November, we insulate perennial vegetable plants, check and calibrate vegetable seeds. We monitor how vegetables are stored in our cellar or basement.

Also, do not forget about the organization of food for the birds remaining for the winter. We hang feeders in the garden and garden, while not forgetting to periodically add food there. In the future, the birds will thank you by the fact that they will destroy the caterpillars and larvae of insect pests.
