Spring is coming into its own more and more every day. March gave way to April, which brought new worries and troubles to all land owners. It’s not for nothing that they say that one spring day feeds you all winter.
There is practically no snow left, and the land freed from it begins to require increased attention in order to reward its owners with an excellent harvest in the fall, which will be presented by fruit, vegetable and flower crops.
Gardener's spring secrets
Every day of April brings experienced gardeners a lot of worries and troubles, and beginning gardeners have a large number of pressing questions. The most pressing question, perhaps, is: “What should I plant in April to get a decent harvest?” It does not arise in vain.
After all, nature is just awakening, and the snow has not yet completely melted, so there is a danger of freezing some crops that are quite thermophilic. Or, conversely, you may not be able to wait for a decent harvest, being literally a few days late in planting plants that have a long growing season.
Spring. Summer resident's cheat sheet
Secrets related to land work have been passed down from generation to generation, dating back to ancient times. From time immemorial, wise ancestors noted all the nuances associated with agriculture, and based on them created rules tested by generations, making it possible to obtain a good harvest. And the answers to questions about how, at what time and what can be planted in open ground in April are based precisely on the experience of landowners.
First of all, in order to have a good harvest, all natural signs were observed. Among them - not only in ancient times, but even now, many summer residents adhere to the following:
- Before the Annunciation, which is celebrated, any planting of both fruit and open ground was prohibited.
- Noon - from 12 to 14 o'clock - is the most unfavorable time for any landings.
- The best crops that can be planted in the ground in April without fear are garden greens: dill, lettuce, parsley, cilantro.
- Up to 12 o'clock on a warm spring day is good for feathers, as well as sorrel.
Work according to the lunar calendar for April
The lunar calendar is also an indisputable hint for any amateur gardener in the question “What to plant in open ground in April?”
Here gardeners adhere to the following rules:
- New moon period. It is not recommended to carry out any work with plants. You can do work with the soil such as mulching or loosening it, as well as thinning out the emerged plants.
- What can be planted in April during the waxing moon period? This is the most favorable time for sowing seedlings of early ripening varieties of peppers and tomatoes.
- Full moon. No plantings are recommended. You should take care of your gardening equipment.
- Waning moon. What to plant in April at this time? The best thing would be to lay out potato tubers for germination, and also to free perennials, shrubs and trees from winter shelters.
The order of April plantings
The order of spring planting also plays an important role in the work of any summer resident. So, when deciding what can be planted in April, the priority crops are cilantro, spinach, garlic, carrots, dill and sorrel. These frost-resistant crops can be planted in freshly thawed soil without worrying that their seeds will be damaged by frost in the soil.
But after the possibility of significant April frosts has passed, it will be the turn of more heat-loving plants, such as beets, peas, radishes, corn and potatoes. But tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and eggplants are not suitable for early planting. The time for planting them in open ground will come only after the soil has completely warmed up. When planting early in April, film covers are required.
April: what gardening work is planned at the dacha?
The second month of spring becomes very “hot” for the gardener. There is absolutely no time to be lazy. The beginning of the season brings a lot of trouble. And besides worrying about what to plant in April, high-quality preparation of the site for upcoming plantings comes to the fore. And this is by no means a simple matter.
Here it is necessary to retain the moisture accumulated in the soil over the winter period, to loosen the soil, and to apply the necessary fertilizers. But who knows how many more worries a gardener has with the beginning of the season?! And everything needs to be done on time in order to have a good harvest in the fall. Still, the main task will be to prepare the seedlings.
Seedling method - we will ensure a rich harvest
This planting option for the northwestern region is considered the most reliable and capable of fully recouping all the summer resident’s investments. And not only financial, but also moral and physical. After all, it is with this cultivation of most plant species that you can get truly fabulous harvests.
This is where amateur gardeners are faced with the question of what can be planted as seedlings in April. The very first days of this busy spring month are suitable for planting seedlings of ultra-early ripening tomato varieties. In this case, they will have enough for ripening in open ground
From the middle of the month it is time to plant seedlings of zucchini, cucumbers, and squash. Many hobbyists grow heat-loving crops such as melons and watermelons on their plots, selecting for this purpose zoned varieties bred through many years of selection.
In April, cabbage seeds are planted for seedlings - one of the most popular vegetable crops not only for the middle zone. It can be grown with great success in any area, with the possible exception of the Far North or desert.
Vegetables in April. What conditions are needed for planting at this time of year?
In addition to the well-proven method of growing vegetables discussed above, many summer residents prefer to plant them in open ground. This method, if certain rules are followed, also turns out to be quite effective. In addition, thanks to it you can avoid problems with growing seedlings.
This method is most relevant for that category of summer residents who do not have extra space on their windowsills, but they still have a desire to get a decent harvest. Using this growing method, it will be enough for heat-loving crops to prepare warm ridges or film shelters in the fall, which is done quite simply.
So, how and what can you plant in the ground in April? In addition to herbs and all kinds of garden greens, at the end of April you can plant the seeds of all those plants that are usually planted at this time for seedlings in open ground. Only this should be done using a covering material that will protect the hatching plants from possible frosts and cold snaps.
Experienced gardeners, in response to the question of what to plant in open ground in April, have an answer related to the signs of plant growth and development. If you are observant, you can avoid mistakes when choosing the right days for April plantings. And you won’t have to calculate certain numbers or compare them with the lunar calendar. These signs are quite simple:
- The daffodils have bloomed - sow the hatched beet seeds and cabbage seedlings into the ground.
- The crocuses are blooming - it’s time for onions, carrots and parsley.
- Have the peonies put on buds and the viburnum bloomed? It is worth hurrying to plant late cucumbers and corn in the ground.
Knowing these signs, even an inexperienced summer resident will never be mistaken in the question of what to plant in April. Knowledge and observations, proven by centuries of experience, will help you always have a rich harvest.
In April the snow disappears completely. The soil in the gardens is warming up and drying out. The buds are awakening on the plants that overwintered in the garden, and the green holiday begins. And at the end of the month, to our delight, multi-colored carpets of blooming primroses and snowdrops appear. And we are starting the summer season. There is never a dull moment; there is, as always, a lot of work to do. Let us remind you what to plant as seedlings in April, and what can already be sown in open ground.
What flowers to sow in April for seedlings
Be sure to sow your favorite annual flowers for seedlings. This way they will bloom earlier, and your garden will look more well-groomed and beautiful.
Most often, in the first ten days of April, we plant heat-loving summer plants for seedlings. This:
- zinnias,
- Iberis,
- lobularia,
- amaranth,
- cellosium,
- ageratum,
- amaranth,
- carnations,
- annual dahlias,
- hyliotrope,
- Salvia splendor,
- fragrant tobacco,
- castor bean,
What to sow in April for seedlings in a greenhouse
Relatively cold-resistant crops - godetia, didicus, dorotheanthus, sweet peas, cladanthus, lobularia, rudbeckia - can be sown in a greenhouse, in a cold, glassed or film-covered greenhouse. But on cold days, and especially nights with sub-zero temperatures, seedlings must be additionally covered with non-woven material (agril, lutrasil, spandbond).
What to plant in open ground in April
Without wasting time on growing seedlings, in April you can plant cold-resistant ornamental flowers and cereals: tricolor bindweed, godetia, gypsophila, iberis, calendula, ornamental cabbage, clarkia, cosmos, large-flowered flax, lupine, poppies, matthiola, nigella, mignonette, scabiosa, phacelia, maned barley, decorative millet and others.
Flowers
I, as a not very experienced summer resident, grow the most unpretentious annuals that do not require special care. I already wrote about sowing asters; at the very beginning of April I sow another batch of annual asters in order to be able to prepare them by September 1st. Approximately according to the same principle: loose soil, moderate watering and reasonable sowing times; in early April I sow the rest of the flowers.
I really love marigolds and calendula. Of the marigolds, my favorite varieties are “Antigua” (lemon yellow) and “Kilimanjaro F1” (white), and of calendulas I like “Geisha” and “Pacific Orange Beauty”. These two flowers have a peculiarity in sowing: you need to plant them very densely, then for some reason they sprout more easily. If you sow one seed at a time, there will be no such effect. I always sow a lot of marigolds - both rejected (these are spreading bushes of small height), and upright (bushes up to 70-90 cm high), and thin-leaved (low bushes with single flowers and thin leaves).
Fig. 1 Erect marigolds
Fig.2 Rejected marigolds can also be sown in flowerpots
Fig.3 Antigua
Fig.4 Sow more marigolds: it is useful to plant them between garden crops - potatoes, cabbage, strawberries.
Amaranth and celosia can be sown directly into the ground, but then flowering will be later, so I also sow these in April. Amarate and celosia can be easily filled; it is better to water them through a tray. Of the more or less unpretentious varieties of celosia, I chose “Cirrus Mixture” and “Pampas Plume”.
Fig.5 Celosia, sown in early April, bloomed only in mid-July
Fig.6 Morning glory “Jolly Gardener” in August. If you forgot to plant in March, early April is not too late
Bluebells, annual dahlias, and bindweed are lenient when it comes to excess moisture, so they can also be called unpretentious. These annuals can be sown in mid-April. I have tried many varieties of dahlias, the easiest to care for were: “Bambino, terry mixture”, “Pompon mixture” and “Jolly guys”.
Fig.7 Lilac and white bells bloom from the beginning of July
Fig. 8 One-year-old dahlias should be planted at a distance of at least 30 cm between the bushes, so they will be more magnificent
Flowers such as lupine, godetia, and snapdragon do not like waterlogging. And this is my most “favorite” mistake. Therefore, it is better to water these flowers through a tray, like other flowers with small sprouts (amaranth, celosia). But if they survive, they will delight you with lush flowering. You can buy godetias of any large-flowered varieties, I sow 4-5 varieties, they all always germinate.
Fig.9 Godetia grandiflora “Whitney”
Fig. 10 If you manage to grow lupine from a seed, then it will turn into such beauties
In the second half of April I sow zinnias. Feature: sowing in bowls with high sides, and as soon as the roots of the zinnias are exposed, you need to add soil around the stems. Zinnias germinate well and do not tolerate drought and heat at the seedling stage.
Fig. 11 The color of zinnias is the most varied
All these flowers are heat-loving, so they are planted in open ground after the threat of return frosts has passed, from about June 5-10. You can also sow seedlings at home in early or mid-April: castor beans, iberis, alyssum, gypsophila, matthiola, but it is better to do this directly at the dacha, in a greenhouse, additionally covered with agrotex if the greenhouse is not very reliable. It is better to sow the last two flowers in containers; if you sow thicker, you will get a good “cap”; in Fig. 4, matthiola sown in this way is visible in the blue basin.
But there is no need to try to sow nasturtium, lavatera and annual chrysanthemum using seedlings. They don't like transplants and get sick. Therefore, it is better to sow them in open ground. These are also unpretentious plants.
Vegetables
In the second half of April, I sow early ripening varieties of corn: “Children’s Sugar”, “Kubanskaya” or “Kubanskaya Sugar”, “Rannyaya Lakomka 121”, “Supersladkaya”, “Krasnodarskaya Sugar”. First, I soak the grains for a day or two in damp gauze. Then I put the hatched seeds immediately into separate cups. By this time, the air on the loggia is already warming up, some of the seedlings move there for hardening, so there is more space on the window sills. But it’s better not to spoil the corn and also move it to the loggia, it’s colder there and it will stretch less than on the windowsills in the apartment.
Fig. 12 Corn before planting (late May)
Towards the end of April (not earlier) I sow pumpkin, melon, watermelons, and a couple of cucumbers for early use. I pre-soak the seeds. I put the ones that have sprouted immediately into separate 0.4-0.5 liter pots, since these crops do not like handling. According to my observations, the height of the pots should be no more than 6cm. The soil for pumpkin plants should be the best: loose and nutritious. If cups with pumpkin seedlings are placed in a warm place, they will definitely stretch, so such vegetables should be sent to the loggia immediately after germination.
Calendar of work in the garden and vegetable garden in April.
Work at the dacha in April. What needs to be done in the garden in April. Everything you need to do at the dacha in April.
List of works in the garden and vegetable garden for April
1. April is a responsible month. First of all, you need to drain excess water from the area. To do this, dig ditches along the slope of the site so that the water flows into the ditch. If there is no slope on the site, then simply dig a shallow ditch, gradually deepening it so that the water flows in the direction you need. Stagnation of water is especially dangerous on raspberries, strawberries and clematis.
2. At the beginning of the month, it is necessary to remove spruce branches from young plantings of strawberries, roses, irises, clematis, lilies, especially from oriental hybrids, since under a warm shelter they will quickly grow and their flower may freeze during return frosts. However, do not rush to remove the boxes from roses and clematis.
3. Feed lovage, rhubarb, sorrel, and raspberries with nitrogen fertilizer (3 tablespoons of urea per 10 liters of water). Instead of urea, you can use an infusion of manure or bird droppings diluted with water 1:10 or 1:20, respectively. If you cover these plantings with lutrasil or place arcs over them and stretch the film, then by May 1 you will already have greenery.
4. If the compost heap is located in the sun, then you can sow early greens (chervil, watercress, cilantro, parsley, lettuce, spinach, dill) and early carrots, as well as radishes. To do this, spill last year’s heap of compost with hot water, pour a layer of soil about 7-8 cm high on top of the compost and sow the seeds. I usually do it this way: I mix 1 teaspoon of seeds with half a glass of sand and sow it into the furrows just like salting food.
You can use special seeders in which the hole is adjusted according to the size of the seeds. In this case, the seedlings will not be thickened.
The top of the crops can be covered with film until shoots emerge. Warmth and moisture are retained under the film, and crops appear faster. After the shoots appear, the film must be removed, otherwise the seedlings may burn under the film. If you cover the crops with lutrasil or spunbond, then the covering material can not be removed until the plants grow, but before the shoots emerge, the crops should be watered directly over the material if the weather is dry or windy, so that the hatched seeds do not dry out in the upper drying layer of soil.
5. At the beginning of the month, pre-grow weeds in the vegetable beds by covering the beds with old film and securing it so that the wind does not blow it away. Weeds will quickly emerge under the film, so as soon as they appear, remove the film and loosen the beds, leaving them open for a day. Then cover again with film and repeat the operation. Now there are no weeds in the top layer of soil in the garden bed. It is important not to dig up the soil, but only before sowing, loosen it with a Fokin flat cutter, then use the sharp end of the flat cutter to make furrows for sowing. All of the above crops can be sown in open ground at the time of coltsfoot flowering, that is, at the end of April–beginning of May.
6. Leaf parsley for greens and bush dill can be sown in early April. In mid-April, you can sow marigolds, marigolds, and zinnias for seedlings.
7. At home, water tomato and pepper seedlings moderately so as not to over-moisten the soil. Don't forget that seedlings need good lighting. As a top dressing, I use a weak Uniflora-Rost solution (1 teaspoon per 5 liters of water), which I water the seedlings with instead of water. Do not forget to spray the leaves of tomatoes and eggplants with a very weak solution of a copper preparation (the easiest way is to use chlorine copper oxide - HOM, dissolving one fifth of a teaspoon of powder in 5 liters of water). The solution can stand, you will use it two more times approximately every two weeks. This is a good preventive measure against late blight. But the often recommended spraying with a manganese solution can not be done, since it does not protect against late blight, and other diseases rarely appear on tomato seedlings. You can spray peppers with a solution of potassium permanganate, especially if they are bothered by aphids.
It is difficult to protect peppers from aphid attacks if there are indoor plants in the same room where the seedlings are growing. Spraying any plants and at any time with a solution of the “Healthy Garden” preparation (4-5 grains per 1 liter of water) helps very well against aphids.
8. It’s time to remove the potatoes from storage and place them in hot (45 degrees) water.
When the water has cooled, add potassium permanganate until it turns bright pink and keep the tubers in the solution for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse the tubers, dry them and place them for vernalization in a bright and cool place.
At the end of April, put the potatoes in cardboard boxes, sandwiching each layer with newspaper, put the boxes in a warm place so that the potatoes produce good strong sprouts. You will plant the grown tubers, thereby speeding up the ripening of the crop by two weeks.
9. If you haven’t done the pruning, you can still do it at the very beginning of the month. Start with blackcurrant, gooseberry and honeysuckle bushes.
Trim the black ends of branches and rejuvenate bushes by cutting out old branches. In gooseberries, you need to cut out all the young shoots growing in the middle of the bush; you should leave only those that grow along the edges of the bush.
The tops of the branches of red and white currants are not cut off, but only old branches and those branches that branch into the crown are removed. In honeysuckle, pruning of branches that thicken the crown or broken branches is done.
10. Do not rush to prune cherries and plums, wait until freezing after wintering becomes clearly visible, or even better, leave their pruning for the fall. The same applies to apple trees. After a harsh winter, the ends of the branches could freeze, but some of the branches will be able to recover from buds on the bark, so do not rush to prune the branches, leave the pruning until the end of summer. Frozen wood has a light brown color when cut. Start pruning from the end of the branch and, gradually moving from the end to the skeletal branches, you will get to the place where the cut is light - from this place the tree tissue is alive and there is no need to cut further.
11. To get early strawberries, cover at least one bed with film on arches or double thin lutrasil directly on the bushes.
12. Towards the end of the month, you should spray those plants in which the bud scales have moved apart and a green cone of leaves has appeared, since the first pests lay an egg at this very moment in the green cone of the leaf. It is better to use an infusion or decoction of herbs with a strong odor (for example, tansy, garlic or citrus peels) to disorient the pests.
13. April is a good time for vaccinations. At the beginning of April, you can cut cuttings for grafting, wrap them in newspaper, put them in a plastic bag and bury them in the snow on the north side of the house, but so that they are not flooded with melt water. At the end of the month, you can use these cuttings for grafting.
14. At the end of the month, sow directly into the ground the seeds of annuals and perennials that are not afraid of frost (poppy, eschscholzia, cosmos, cornflowers, iberis, columbine, forget-me-nots, marigolds). Other flowers can also be sown directly into the ground, even such as tobacco or petunia, but their crops should be covered with a film stretched over small arcs. It is easy to make arcs yourself from willow twigs, from which you should immediately remove the bark. Willow grows along ditches.
15. At the end of the month, you can remove the cover from all ornamental plants, except clematis. It is better to cover their growing shoots with at least lutrasil.
At the dacha - April and that means the season has begun! And there is no time to be lazy, we pick up the tool and get to work. We have business in April at the dacha great multitude.
April is the most life-loving spring month: “April dresses the whole earth in flowers, calls all people to joy, crowns all trees with leaves.”
Spring deftly deals with snow and ice. The beds, which have rested over the winter, awaken to life again, and we feel how they breathe the smells of ripening soil...
You don’t have to be an experienced gardener to understand that the most labor-intensive season has arrived.
There is, perhaps, no work other than harvesting that would not need to be done at this time.
And moisture should be retained, and the soil should be loosened, and fertilizer should be applied, and plants should be planted or replanted, pruned and protected from pests and diseases... And yet the main, essentially continuous work now is working with seedlings.
The seedling method of growing plants is more reliable and for many places the only one.
The summer season is gaining momentum, and how to cope with all this, how to manage everything, what to grab first? After all, it seems that all matters cannot be delayed.
This is where the plan we drew up in the winter comes in handy. If it is not there, then I would like to advise you, my friends, to take a “dacha notebook” and carefully think through the work plan for each day so as not to forget to do anything.
What do we need to do in the garden?
So I wrote these lines and wondered what to write about next, because our beautiful Spring is in no hurry to come to us. Huge snowdrifts are in no hurry to melt, and the frosts are not ending.
Apparently, where she is now, she is much better and she completely forgot that we are waiting for her, we can’t wait.
And in many regions of our country, including here, the March work on the dacha plot has not yet been completed, let alone the April work.
But since our country is huge, I hope that there are still places where spring has come on time and this article will be useful to them.
And we will have to do all the work that we could do slowly over two months at an accelerated pace, rolling up our sleeves.
So, let’s finish everything we didn’t do in March and move on:
- We remove the winter tying of the trees, remove dry branches, leaves, last year's mulch, plant debris, and spruce branches. It is best to burn all collected garbage;
- We cut off broken, dry, dead branches, and in those places where you find oviposition of pests on the branches, it is necessary to cut off the branch completely and burn it immediately;
- We apply fertilizers on the melted snow on the tree trunks of fruit trees and shrubs, and then mulch with manure, humus or peat. Raspberry, currant and gooseberry bushes are most fond of such measures;
- We try not to walk around the area if the soil is still wet, so as not to trample it - wait until the soil dries;
- We prune gooseberries, black and red currants;
- We loosen the dried soil and at the same time apply complex mineral fertilizer and humus to the tree trunks for perennial plants;
- We clean tree trunks from mosses and lichens, wash them with a solution of iron sulfate (500 g per 10 liters of water), and also seal hollows and large cracks;
- In the second half of April, we plant seedlings of fruit trees and shrubs in pre-prepared planting holes, watering them abundantly and, of course, tying them to supports;
- We carefully examine the currant bushes and if you see overgrown buds that resemble cabbage heads, then immediately tear them off and burn them, as bud mites have settled there (several thousand of these voracious pests are hiding in one bud). In April, they have not yet had time to emerge from the buds and, therefore, there is a chance to get rid of them;
- When the snow melts, we deal with the strawberries: we rake the mulch from the bushes, cut off the dried leaves, feed them with complex mineral fertilizer (2 tablespoons per m2 of beds) and, if you want to get an early harvest, cover the strawberries with film, stretching it over the arcs.
What about in the garden?
We begin work in the garden as soon as the snow has completely melted and the soil has dried enough so that it does not stick to the shovel and feet:
- First of all, we will prepare the soil for planting vegetable seedlings in the ground, namely, to preserve moisture, it is necessary to loosen the area and you can immediately plant the seedlings;
- Already at the beginning of the month, you can sow radishes, parsley, carrots, onions, lettuce, dill, spinach, peas in open ground, but provided that the plantings are covered with film at night;
- In a lighted place, 35-40 days before planting, we place potatoes for vernalization, but only so that there is no direct sunlight and, if April is warm enough in your region, then sprouted varieties of early potatoes can be planted by covering the seedlings with film;
- We prepare new beds and cover them with film to retain moisture and heat;
- We treat the greenhouses with 3% Bordeaux mixture to destroy pathogens, and it is also advisable to wash all transparent surfaces of the greenhouse and then loosen the soil and fill it with fertilizers;
- We sow salads, broccoli, kohlrabi and Beijing cabbage, and herbs in a greenhouse or under a film in a garden bed;
- In open ground we sow peas, carrots, parsnips, spinach, radishes, turnips, dill and parsley, plant spring garlic, onion sets, onions and shallots;
- Also, do not forget to hill up the sprouts of asparagus, scorzonera, and chicory in order to obtain bleached shoots;
- We rake the mulch from the winter plantings of winter garlic and onion sets, loosen the soil and feed it;
- We sow cucumbers, zucchini, squash, pumpkin, and early low-growing tomatoes for seedlings;
- Due to the new troubles that have arisen, we will try not to forget about the previously planted pepper, eggplant and tomato seedlings, which also require care;
- We take the seedlings outside for hardening on warm days, but protect them from direct sunlight;
Let's do flowers too
Our favorite flowers are also waiting for our attention:
- We begin to gradually remove the covers from roses, rhododendrons and other heat-loving crops that were covered, and if there are still frosts at night, then we only slightly raise the covers during the day, thereby allowing the plants to “breathe”;
- We remove the covers completely when the snow finally melts;
- We prune roses while the buds have not yet begun to grow, at a temperature not lower than 5 O WITH;
- We cut out thin, weak and too old branches of roses, as well as frozen, blackened, broken and shriveled parts of the shoots until the first overwintered bud on the lower part of the shoot with a clean green crown;
- We treat the soil under the bushes with antifungal fungicides, then apply fertilizing and mulch;
- As soon as the first sprouts of bulbous plants appear, it is necessary to feed them, loosen the soil around them and spray them against pests;
- We rake peat or other mulch from the lilies and, when the stems begin to grow, we feed them, and also, so that the lilies do not get sick, water (after a while) with the following solution: dilute 1 tablespoon of soda, copper sulfate, ammonia in 1 liter of warm water and this solution, while stirring, pour in a thin stream into a watering can filled with cold water;
- We sow annual dahlias, amaranth, balsam, calendula, cosmos, lavatera, alyssum, marigolds for seedlings in a greenhouse or under film;
- We remove winter covers from clematis, feed them and mulch them;
- In the end of the month There begins a short spring period of dividing perennials such as: peonies - they are divided until the buds begin to grow, irises should also be tried to be divided in a very short time, until the period of their active growth begins;
- Feed all perennial flowers, after removing the winter shelter;
- Don’t forget about the lawn, which also requires your attention; go over it with a rake to remove debris, and be sure to feed it with nitrogen fertilizer.
And perennials such as phlox, astilbe, delphiniums, and chrysanthemums can be divided in the spring with less haste. But still, they graft better if they are divided before the leaves begin to grow and unfold.
That's how much work we have ahead of us, dear summer residents! But no matter how busy we are, let’s not forget about rest and our health.
Happy season to you, dear friends!
