May work for gardeners and gardeners- the foundation of the future harvest. Almost all plantings, with the exception of a few crops, are carried out at the end of spring, when all nature comes to life. The lunar calendar will help you choose the best day for sowing, planting seedlings and other work.

Works in May in the garden, in the garden and flower garden

In the garden. The spring pruning of all fruit trees is being completed - dry, damaged and growing crowns and vertically upward branches are removed. Seedlings are planted, and this must be done before the first leaves appear, mature trees are grafted.

Before flowering, the garden is treated from pests, primarily from the codling moth, ants and aphids. At the end of May, hedges are also put in order - at the same time, about half of the new shoots are cut off.

In the garden. It is necessary to plan the placement of beds on the site. On the northern slopes and in the lowlands, beds are allocated for cabbage, root crops and onions. Elevated places and southern slopes are best left for tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the rule of crop rotation: do not plant the same crop in the same place, remember the useful neighborhood of different plants, suitable predecessors.

The soil warmed up under the sun's rays must be manured and plowed, beds should be formed, paths should be compacted, and sides and slopes should be strengthened. It is necessary to finish preparing the soil for planting in the first decade of May.

The land ready for planting is slightly moist, does not stick to the shovel, and the lump easily crumbles into small fractions. If the soil oozes water, sticks and smears, the lump is too dense - it is not ready yet, it is too early to plant.

When planting seedlings and sowing seeds, only furrows and holes are watered if necessary. It is impossible to water the beds from above - a dense heavy crust can form, which quickly dries up and makes it difficult for seedlings to emerge.

In accordance with the lunar calendar of the work of gardeners, gardeners and flower growers, seedlings of tomatoes, cabbage, zucchini and cucumbers are planted. At the same time, one should not forget about the possibility of late frosts, so it is necessary to provide for the possibility of protection from the cold, especially at night. When planting, it is necessary to take into account the seeding rates, the recommended distance between plants, sowing density, illumination of the beds, layering (this is especially true for the organization of a flower bed).
