What crops can be planted in August

To choose crops for re-sowing, you need to consider for which potatoes, carrots are considered good predecessors, and already among them choose those that will have time to form a crop before the end of the season, i.e. 2-2.5 months.

So, the potato is considered a good predecessor of peas, cabbage, onion, root vegetables, cucumbers, pumpkin, dill, beans, garlic. The pumpkin on this plot can be sown next year, garlic should be planted in mid-October, onions, and root vegetables - in November or early spring.

But early-ripened cucumbers can be sown, if it is possible to cover them with non-woven fabric or film as early as September, in order to protect them from nighttime temperatures and frosts that may occur in late September. But you shouldn’t hope for a big harvest: late-summer sowing cucumbers are quickly affected by powdery mildew.

It is quite possible to get a harvest of cabbage - Peking, kohlrabi, pak choi, especially since these crops continue to grow after the first frost: the temperature drops to minus 4 they are not afraid.

Beijing and Chinese cabbages are early ripening. After being sown in mid-August right into the ground, early varieties can produce a crop in a month or two, i.e. at the end of September or mid-October you will have juicy pak-choi peaches, loose cabbages or Peking cabbage on the table.

Of course, provided that the plants will be provided with good care. Late summer planting for cabbage is even preferable to early spring: the plants will grow in more favorable cool conditions. And a short day is only for the benefit - holds back premature flowering.

  • They dig up the soil for cabbage on a spade bayonet, having previously brought in a bucket of organic matter — compost or humus.
  • Sowing furrows are made in a bed in 30-35 cm, they are well spilled with water (preferably in several stages, giving water to be absorbed after each watering).
  • Seeds are laid in the grooves after 8-10 cm.
  • After sowing, the bed should preferably be covered with a thin non-woven fabric.

If you lay it on the arc, do not have to shoot after the emergence of shoots. Such a simple shelter is a good protection from the sun, which is still aggressive in August, and from a cruciferous flea adoring young leaves of all cruciferous cultures. If there is no possibility to cover the bed, seedlings immediately powder with wood ash (all from the same cruciferous flea).

But if slugs have multiplied and fattened on your plot by the fall, it is better to refuse sowing both Peking and Chinese cabbage. The loose cabbages of Peking cabbage do not leave slugs even for a day: between the leaves it is both moist and nourishing. Kohlrabi mollusks will harm less. Only sow need early varieties. Middle and late will not have time to form stebleplody.

Freed after the potato beds should be enough for crops and other crops. You can, for example, sow early varieties of sugar peas. He will still have time to harvest the pods. In addition, peas - a great predecessor for most garden crops. Before sowing for 12 hours, peas are soaked, changing water several times during this time. They are sown in well-moistened grooves to a depth of 4 cm. A row from the row is placed after 20 cm, peas are laid out in 5 grooves in the grooves.

Great care peas will not require. After the emergence of shoots it is watered once a week, loosened after each watering. In the autumn season and this minimum will correct the rains, cool weather. At the end of the season, the pea stalks are cut and laid in the compost, and the roots are dug up.

Beans in the middle of August can also be sown, but as a siderata, since it will not have time to create a crop.

If you like leafy vegetables, it is worth sowing lettuce, ruklu and (of course!) - dill. Sowing spinach can be postponed for a month. In the fall, you will not get a harvest, but in the spring spinach, after overwintering, will yield a very early harvest.

Former carrot beds can be given to radishes or early varieties of daikon. In general, the daikon should have been sown a little earlier, but if the fall is long, the roots will have time to grow to the average size of the variety before November. But the cruciferous flea daikon late-summer crops less annoying. Yes, and watering daikon accounts for much less than when sown in mid-July or early August.

Before sowing daikon, the beds are made up to a bucket of organics per square meter. m (compost, humus) and dig up shovels on a bayonet. Grooves are made 60 cm apart, they are well shed and seeds are sown. Shoots thinned out, leaving 5 plants per linear meter. In thick crops, roots are dramatically different in size, more flowering plants are formed.
