What to do at the beginning of the month
September is rich in a whole list of works that need to be done in the garden at this time of the year. To correctly draw up a work plan for the month, it is recommended to focus on the gardener's lunar calendar for September 2021. So, according to the calendar, the days of the new moon (September 9) and the full moon (September 25) are considered an unfavorable period for carrying out any manipulations to harvest and improve the garden plot.
Adhering to the recommendations of the lunar calendar for 2021, at the beginning of the first autumn month, you need to do the improvement and cleaning of the garden plot: weeding and removing weeds, whitewashing trunks, digging the soil in the near-trunk circle and watering fruit trees and berry bushes. Also, in the first ten days of the month, organic fertilizers are introduced into the soil: humus, compost, etc. The main purpose of feeding plants with organic matter is to prepare the garden for the coming lingering cold weather.
HThe beginning of September is the optimal period for planting seedlings of ornamental and fruit crops in open ground, as well as planting tulips and daffodils. The harvested fruits and berries are laid for long-term storage or processed. Some fruit crops of a late ripening period should not be touched yet; under favorable weather conditions, you can leave the fruits to ripen on tree branches.
Work in mid-September
According to the lunar sowing calendar for September, in the middle of the month, preventive spraying of fruit and berry crops grown in the garden should be carried out. This event is held in order to destroy harmful insects and their larvae that live under the bark of plants. With the arrival of spring, the larvae will turn into adult insects, actively destroying the orchard.
Don't forget to treat ornamental plants, which are often the favorite targets of insects. Flowers from verandas and open areas of the garden are transferred to the house or winter greenhouse. In mid-September, it is recommended to dig from the ground and send for storage the root part of dahlias, gladioli and anemone.
Focusing on the lunar calendar compiled by experts for September 2021, it is recommended to prune fruit trees, berry bushes and grapes from the 10th to the 20th of the month. During this period, both sanitary and anti-aging pruning can be done to form the crown and improve fruiting for the next year. All branches cut from trees and shrubs must be burned, since they are often a haven for harmful insects and pathogenic microflora.
