The most favorable days of March according to the Lunar sowing calendar of the gardener and gardener for March: 1-3, 11, 12, 20, 22, 29-31

In March, the gardener has a lot to do. Winter is leaving, and we are recapturing the space step by step: we are heating the beds, arranging a nursery on the windowsill, laying potatoes and dahlias for germination. This is the period of sowing seeds for growing seedlings in the house and the beginning of a new season in the garden.

Garden work according to the lunar calendar of the gardener in March 2017

In March, you can trim berry bushes and fruit trees, if you did not have time to do this in the fall. Work must be completed before the onset of sap flow and swelling of the kidneys. After cutting the wound, be sure to lubricate with "Runet" or garden var, you can use oil paint. This procedure can be combined with the harvesting of cuttings for spring grafting of fruit crops.

Strip tree trunks and large branches from dead bark. Disinfect and treat winter damage with garden varieties: frost holes, cracks, rot, damage by rodents. To protect against sunburn, apply garden whitewash if you do not have time to whitewash the trees in the fall or whitewash during the winter. You can wrap the lower part of the trunk with white non-woven material.

When the sun is very hot, and the earth is still frozen, there is a risk of burning conifers, boxwoods, rhododendrons. Rake off the mulch and litter from tree trunks, spill the plants with warm water in several stages until the water melts the soil and is easily absorbed. Coniferous plants to protect against sunburn, wrap burlap, leaving a breeze.

When warm sunny weather begins, ventilate heat-loving plants under shelters: roses, grapes, hydrangeas, clematis, tree-like peonies.

Fill the greenhouse with snow at the end of winter or early spring. This will help to create a supply of useful snow moisture before planting, activates the beneficial soil microflora, and restore the balance of temperature and humidity. Before planting the plants, the greenhouse needs to be well washed outside and inside.

On the beds do not wait until the snow melts to stretch the film over the greenhouses, tunnel shelters and warm ridges. Regardless of the weather, it is better to catch up to the end of March. Under the film, the snow will melt and the earth will warm up faster - this will give you the opportunity to sow cabbage, lettuce, radish, arugula in April and get an early crop of green crops: radish, dill, lettuce, Chinese cabbage.

  National signs of November
   In Russia they used to say: "The cold October is the priest, and November froze him too." Jokes: "November - September is a grandson, October is a son, winters are my father". The people called him “Twilight of the Year” for a reason: this month, observing short days and the rapid onset of darkness in the evening, they said: “Dawn meets twilight.”

   It would seem that in November gardeners and summer residents can rightfully rest from the busy season, however there are some works that are caused by the arrival of cold weather. In the garden in the first decade during the onset of cold weather, it is necessary to insulate the shoulders, cellars, storage. Remove rotten root crops and discard. Those root crops that were next to the diseased need to be used urgently, and the place is filled up with sand.

Often, even in November, leaves do not fall from the trees. This is bad, because the first snow will break the branches, which means that you will constantly have to shake the snow from the trees, especially since the first snow usually falls wet, and therefore heavy. Broken branches should be immediately cut off, and the place of cut should be covered with brilliant green.

   Many owners of greenhouses (especially polycarbonate) may encounter problems in forcing polycarbonate and in general structural failure, even strong greenhouses could not withstand such a quantity of snow. How to avoid damage to the greenhouse in winter?

   In the pre-winter and early cold weather you should hurry up with shelter of young garden plants and bushes, vines for the winter. Heat-loving plants bend to the ground, pin them, bind the branches of fragile plants to avoid breakage from strong winds, cover them. You must save all the trees and flowering shrubs. To act confidently and organized, you must have a work plan to prepare all the elements of the landscape around the house.

2. Check the bark of seedlings and young trees under 4-5 years old. If the bark is badly damaged by mice, immediately coat the wound with garden varnish without stripping its edges and tie it with a film. Make sure that later it does not crash into the bark.
3. March is the time for sanitary pruning, treatment of boles, skeletal branches. Try to treat the trees on auspicious days, which are indicated in the Lunar sowing calendar. Cut out all diseased and shrunken branches so that they do not contribute to the spread of disease. Cut, capturing 2-3 cm of the healthy part of the branch. And clean wounds with the obligatory capture of a healthy bark.
