In this Christmas Eve, spring shakes his hand with summer. In addition to harvesting and care for growing, flowering and fruit vegetables, it is worthwhile to sow another batch. No flower bed after harvested crop will not be empty. And if there is no free? Maybe you will find a place for a new one, because delicious homemade vegetables are never enough!
The fertile soil can be entrusted with marrow and sugar peas, broccoli, kohlrabi, water, beets, Chinese and Beijing cabbage and annual herbs such as dill, roller or coriander. The beginning of the month is the last suitable time for sowing vegetables for winter harvest, such as leeks, winter cabbage or curls. You can network directly on the flower beds, or, if they are not free, in a seedlner or small pots. Bush beans can be net in July, but for climbing varieties, which takes longer to reach flowering, it is more suitable for the first half of June. After the solstice, they would no longer have to bring a satisfactory harvest.
Fragrance
The scent of basil is irreplaceable. He germinates quickly and if you sow it at the beginning of the month, her fragrant leaves will be happy to be soon. Seed cultivation is cheap and the range of varieties is much more varied than the seedlings. Herbs are the most beautiful in the dense west, but each plant around it needs a space around 5 cm, and if you get it properly and it will bother, so more. The more the sun gives the herb, the more fragrant they will be. The abundance of moisture also requires growth.
Salad’s arms
Even in summer you can grow fragile and delicious salads, tasty and healthy leafy vegetables are not just a spring matter. However, in order not to be bitter, stiff and not flowing into flowering, it is necessary to proceed differently than in the spring. It pays to select Summer or year -round varieties of salad More resistant to flowering. And while in the spring they needed as much sun as possible, in the hot summer they benefit them partially shaded – under trees, bushes, fences, a screen from cucumbers, corn or high annuals. In the shadow, however, heads are not very willing. They are more thankful salads designed to cut the leaves. You can cut them out very soon. The most effective is to harvest outer leaves, as the heart heart grows faster. Of course, you can also harvest the whole rosette, but you will get more salad by gradual. To be juicy and brittle, leafy vegetables need enough water.
Just bitter
Bitters are extremely beneficial for our body. AND salad chicory They can enrich the diet, yet taste great. Proceed as with salad, chicory will be more fragile and tastier in a light shade and above all with plenty of moisture. Under the hot summer sun, the plant is too bitter, they survive the drought, but it also becomes aware of the taste. Mulch the soil around the growing seedlings – mulch relieves water vapor and promotes the formation of humus, which again helps to retain water. You do not have to water chicory as often, which is advantageous not only for water saving – if you sprinkle the flower bed too often, they can spoil from below.
Tingle carrot
Early carrot varieties called carrots, sown in early June, will provide harvest in September, and if you harvest young baby carrots, even earlier. The carrots sown during and at the end of the month, which you have to grow fully, are suitable for storage. If you want straight and long roots, it is necessary to prepare a plump soil without stones up to a depth of 15 to 25 cm. It should be rather lighter, mix heavy with fine sand. When the root encounters an obstacle, it curls and branches.
Small seeds Try the net in spacing around 1 cm in grooves approximately 15 cm apart. Then include a 0.5 cm thick layer of fine substrate, press it gently, pour over and arm with patience. The seeds often germinate in three weeks, and must not dry. After reaching the seedlings approximately 5 cm in height, unite them – for the harvest of young carrots, the spacing of around 3 cm is sufficient, for growing roots, the plants require a distance of 10 cm.
Very lusk
You can also grow varieties for collecting ripe beans, but young beans will bring more joy in the summer kitchen. Very handsome are varieties with yellow or purple pods, which you will also see better when harvesting. The pods need to be harvested in time and like to hide behind large leaves.
Bush beans It produces earlier, but after a shorter time – it must be sown again after approximately two weeks. They do not require support, but take more space.
Climbing varieties, the so -called beansthey enter the fertility later, so be just a solstice. However, they offer continuous harvesting of fresh pods until autumn. They require support, but they save space and can look very nice. They themselves wrap around a simple rod, serve them supports of the shape or long tent A. Most varieties are bred from bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), but edible are also varieties of very decorative scarlet bean (P. Coccineus), which will decorate the garden truly scarlet flowers.
The bean testifies to the sun and lighter, permeable soil. The addition of compost will definitely benefit them, but they do not require much fertilization, nitrogen can get themselves because of cooperation with bacteria. Symbiotic bacteria can be vaccinated to them and accelerate the cooperation, although they will find them in healthy soil over time. Later as vaccination, a little soil from already grown and thrived beans will serve.
- Place the beans for each rod of 4 to 6 and then leave only 2 to 3 of the strongest plants. The spacing between the sticks should be around 20 cm.
- Place the bush beans in a clamp of 30 to 40 cm, always insert 3 to 4 seeds into the baby. Always sit 3 to 5 cm deep.
- You can mulch the soil around the seedlings to be like in cotton.
