What is important for gardeners to know in August
August is the time when vegetables and fruits reach their peak ripeness, and it is time to harvest them.
During this period, it is important to pay attention to feeding and caring for the beds, since after cutting almost all plants need additional nutrition.
Also in August, sowing of winter vegetables begins, which allows you to prepare the beds for the next season.
Do not forget about preparing the beds for autumn, which includes the fight against insect pests and plant diseases.
Mulching also plays an important role in this process, helping to retain moisture in the soil and protecting plants from temperature changes.
August is the ideal time for pruning cherries and sweet cherries, since during this period they do not secrete gum.
At the same time, you can plant radishes and daikon for winter storage.
Currants and gooseberries need additional feeding in August to ensure a good harvest next season.
Strong rosettes of strawberries and wild strawberries can be used to plant new plantings, which will help to renew and increase the plantations of these berries.
