August will come - he will start his own rules.

The main task of the gardener in August is to achieve an end to the growth of the shoots of the current year in length. The formation of the apical bud and the ripening of the shoots will better prepare the plant for winter. To stop the growth processes in the shoots, the following measures are taken: mulch is removed from the near-stem circle, simple potash and phosphorus fertilizers are introduced into the zone of the active root system, the tops of young growing shoots are pinched and watering is reduced. Do not apply nitrogen fertilizers, as this can cause a second wave of shoot growth.
Upon completion of the collection of raspberries, the fruiting and damaged branches are cut out. Young shoots that have grown over the summer should be shortened, the growth tops should be cut off - this will make it possible for their wood to ripen and prepare for the upcoming cold weather.
Vegetables in August also need our care - loosening and feeding. The potato tops should be cut 2 weeks before you plan to start "digging the potatoes" - the tubers will ripen better.
August is the time of abundant fruiting of tomatoes and peppers. The tops of the tomatoes at this time must be removed, leaving a couple of sheets above the upper brush. This will accelerate the ripening of the set fruit.
When caring for flowers in August, rejuvenating division and transplantation of perennials comes first. Preparing for planting bulbous flowers. For them, beds and ridges are made in advance. On clay soils, sand and compost are added for digging. If necessary, the soil is limed.

Folk signs about the weather in August:
The August night is long, the water is cold ..
August skips towards autumn.
In August, winter begins to struggle with summer.

On the basis of one interesting folk omen, we together with you will try to draw up, one of the main tasks of which is to help plan the work of the upcoming garden season in 2019.

Calendar of auspicious days for August 2019

In terms of the number of favorable days in August 2019, the second half of the month will be especially successful. Plan on favorable days re-sowing early-maturing vegetable crops, planting and transplanting, dividing flowers and shrubs. Traditionally, the New Moon day is considered unfavorable, when any work is prohibited.

The table shows favorable and unsuccessful days for sowing, planting and caring for plants in accordance with the lunar calendar.

Favorable days for planting in August 2019

Unfavorable days for planting in August 2019

Sowing and planting calendar for August

In August, re-sowing of vegetables on the vacated beds continues. This is a favorable time for sowing siderates - green fertilizers, and early ripening varieties of popular vegetables, vitamin salads and herbs, aromatic spices.

Garden strawberries and grapes are planted in the garden.

• Seedlings with a closed root system can be planted without fear - they take root well in any season.
• Seedlings with an open root system require more careful care and supervision after planting. Experienced gardeners can do it too.

What to sow in the garden in August

In the first half of August, you can sow many leafy, salad, green crops.

• In August, you can sow herbs and spices. For example, healthy fennel.
• Lettuce (leaf) mustard grows especially well at the end of summer.

• If you plant the slime onions not with seeds, but with shoots, then August for planting is the best time.
• In early August, shallots are planted in open ground. Before planting, the bulbs are selected by size, planted to a depth of 3-4 cm at a distance of 10-16 cm.

• From 5 to 10 August in Primorye, in the Far East, radish (forehead, daikon) and radish are sown.
• Vegetables sown in early August will avoid the attack of the cabbage fly.

1. It is recommended to sow green manures immediately after harvesting in the vacated plots in August. Sown green fertilizers - mustard, oats, rye, phacelia, vetch - will help restore and prepare the soil for planting next season.
2. In early August, to combat soil fatigue after harvesting an early harvest, you can sow narrow-leaved and yellow lupine, and plow it for the winter.

In August, on a windless day, lawn grasses are sown. Seeds are sown in two directions, seeding to a depth of 1-2 cm.

What to plant in the garden in August

• In August, the right time for planting large-fruited cranberries in compliance with the 30 to 30 scheme.
• Late August is the best time to plant red currants in Siberia. Two-year-old seedlings are planted in holes about half a meter in diameter and up to 40 cm deep.When planting, you need to apply fertilizer, deepen the root collar by 5-10 cm.
• At the same time, it is recommended to plant raspberries, especially in Siberia, leaving approx. half a meter.

In many regions, from the middle to August 20, a favorable time begins for planting seedlings of garden strawberries.

1. It is better to plant the berry on a dug, leveled and well-moistened area, mulched with a non-woven covering material.
2. In Siberia, planting strawberry seedlings in August is rather an exception and an extreme necessity. The optimal time for planting berries is April-May. In the case of planting in August, there may be problems with rooting, delayed fruiting. Therefore, the berry needs special care, and the terms can stretch for the whole month. Experienced gardeners can plant strawberries in the fall.
3. If you plant garden strawberries in early August, provide the bushes with care and feeding. It is believed that the best seedlings are obtained from two-year-old berry bushes.

Saplings

1. From the middle of August it is time to buy seedlings of many fruit and berry and ornamental crops. For example, chokeberry seedlings - black chokeberry.
2. To be sure of the quality of the planting material and the future harvest, you should adhere to simple recommendations when buying and choosing seedlings. If you are already thinking about buying seedlings, experts advise you to postpone.
3. Buying seedlings with green foliage is a waste of time and money. Wait until the plants are ready for winter: the foliage has fallen out, the bark has hardened, and nutrients have drained out.

Gardener's calendar for August

In August in the garden, heavy chores are more and more replaced by pleasant worries about the harvest.

In this matter, it is also necessary to observe the timing and accuracy - do not throw ripe fruits in the garden and, on the contrary, do not rush to harvest, after waiting for the first frost - some fruits are better stored after cooling.

Watering and feeding have already stopped, but additional shelter for vegetables will not interfere and will help prolong fruiting.

Top dressing in the garden in August

In the first decade of August, fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers stops. According to the rules of feeding the plants, from the beginning of the formation of fruits and until they ripen, they need more potassium.

• In the summer, it is imperative to feed even such seemingly unpretentious plants as celery. In August, mineral supplements with phosphorus, potassium and trace elements will be useful to him.
• At the beginning of August, the third final feeding of curly beans is carried out. With a lack of nutrition, beans can be fed with mineral potash and phosphorus fertilizers. Organic fertilizers are also suitable for feeding.
• Potassium sulfate can be added under kohlrabi without any hilling.
• After the first fruiting of zucchini, their leaves can be sprayed with a solution of urea and trace elements - such a mineral dressing will help rejuvenate the plants.

Roots

1. In August, you can feed carrots, although in general the root crop is unpretentious and gives a good harvest without any additional feeding.
2. Potassium monophosphate will also be useful for root parsley, this will be the third root feeding of the season.
3. Until mid-August, scorzonera is still fed - an uncommon, but valuable and useful root crop. Twice a month, as a top dressing, you can use the complex mineral fertilizer Diamosofka - 1 tbsp is enough. l. for 1 m².

1. In August, extra care will be needed in the care of the melon. Heavy rainfall can harm the melon outdoors. From excessive moisture during the ripening period, the melon literally explodes. Therefore, watering definitely needs to be limited and try to protect the fruits from precipitation.
2. Zucchini, on the contrary, needs daily watering in August, especially if the weather is dry, hot.
3. Until August 20, watering onions is still needed, then they are completely stopped.

In August, planting vegetable beans can be attacked by aphids. The vital activity of the black melon aphid is especially unpleasant for the beans. It is impossible to use chemical means of protection on fruiting plants, therefore, in order to control pests, biological products are used, for example Fitoverm, which has an insecticidal effect

Potato

1. In August, when the temperature drops, and the air humidity, on the contrary, is high, signs of late blight may appear on potatoes.
2. For prevention purposes, it is recommended to mow the tops two weeks before harvesting, and after digging the potatoes, ripen in a dry, ventilated room in order to notice the affected fruits and not lower them into storage. So we will save the crop from damage in winter.
3. In the third decade of August, there is a high probability of a secondary outbreak of late blight on potatoes and tomatoes. Infection can spread from plant debris after harvesting. Therefore, plant residues must be urgently destroyed and the spatial isolation of plantings must be monitored.
4. In the first decade of August, the potato ladybird intensively populates late varieties of nightshade (potato, tomato, pepper, eggplant) and pumpkin (cucumber, pumpkin) crops.
5. To combat the potato ladybird, chemical or biological treatment of plantings with Fitoverm, Bankol, Bitoxibacillin and other insecticidal preparations is carried out from 5 to 15 August.

Cabbage

• On cabbage in August, whiteworms, scoops and slugs are wielding. To fight cabbage pests, it is best to follow the rules of agricultural technology and use non-toxic folk remedies.
• The harvest will save the mulching of the beds with non-woven material, timely weed control, joint planting with aromatic plants, the installation of baits, manual collection, spraying with pepper infusion and processing with biological products.
• To combat onion and cabbage flies, you can make a saline solution (1 glass of salt per 10 liters of water) or an infusion of wood ash: dilute 1 liter of ash in 10 liters of hot water and leave for a day. Water the soil around the plants at the first sign of a pest.

Pinching in August

Tomatoes and peppers

1. In order for the fruits of tomatoes to ripen, in August, in the first or second decade, it is recommended to pinch all points of growth on the plants. This will speed up the filling and ripening of the tomatoes.
2. The pinching is especially relevant for regions where in August tomatoes lack neither light nor heat for full growth and development. This procedure will help both seedless tomatoes and tall varieties.
3. In early August, in unprotected soil, it is necessary to pinch the pepper bushes and remove the flowers so that the plant does not waste energy on the ovaries and fruits, which still do not have time to ripen.

Zucchini

• Zucchini is usually not pinched because the fruit is forming on the main shoot.
• However, pinching the top in August will help speed up the ripening of the fruit.
• In addition, in case of strong growth, 2-3 middle leaves must be removed to improve ventilation and access to the plants of the bees.

1. In mid-August, you can breed perennial onions, such as chives. When dividing the uterine bush, 2-3 shoots are left on each part, and the roots and leaves are cut in half.
2. Until about 20 August in the Northwest, spicy herbs, such as lovage, are propagated. Rhizomes are divided when the bush has been growing in one place for about 10 years.
3. When determining the timing of division, you need to be guided by the fact that the plant has time to take root before frost, otherwise the division will not take root.

Harvesting and seeds in August in the vegetable garden

Cucumbers

1. In early August, in order to prolong the fruiting of cucumbers in the open field, they can be covered overnight and during rains with a non-woven fabric. So the plants will be protected from cold moisture, the leaves will not turn yellow ahead of time, the stems will not dry out.
2. At the same time, Kiwano, an exotic cucumber, begins to bear fruit. It is better to collect small young fruits, they are especially good in homemade preparations, pickling. Kiwano fruits are canned like traditional cucumbers.

Celery

• In August, the lower leaves are removed from root celery so that the vegetable ripens faster and better. In a month or two it will be possible to harvest.

Pumpkin

• From about mid-August, beds with heat-loving crops can be covered with foil or special covering materials to protect plantings from the first frosts and cold snaps.
• So, the shelter will help the butternut pumpkin to ripen, so that in early September it is already possible to harvest a juicy crop.

Melon

1. At the beginning of August, juicy aromatic melon begins to ripen in the Middle Lane.
2. You cannot leave ripe fruits for a long time, so pluck the crop as soon as you notice a ripe fruit.
3. At the same time, you cannot touch unripe melons - they will not mature under any conditions and will be stored for no more than 2-3 weeks.

Beans

• In the first ten days of August, beans are harvested on a shoulder.
• Ripe green pods must be harvested before they are old and callous, otherwise the leaves will dry out and the beans will spill out.
• In the seaside, in the Delny East, asparagus beans are pulled and plucked from the bushes.
• Overgrown beans and the plants themselves can be used for compost as long as they are free of disease.

1. Usually, when determining the timing of harvesting, they are guided by the lodging of the leaves or by the bulb - if it has formed, it can be harvested earlier or, conversely, later, in mid-August.
2. After harvesting, the bulbs should dry out in a ventilated area, after which they are peeled and stored.
3. Until August 25, you can cut perennial onions for greens. After each cut, do not forget to provide the plants with adequate nutrition and moisture - this will speed up the regrowth of the leaves. The resulting arrows must be cut off and discarded.

Roots

1. On August 25, in Siberia, you can harvest potatoes, and sow green manure on the plot, for example, phacelia - by the end of October it will already grow and it can be embedded in the soil as green fertilizer.
2. From the end of the month, the time comes to dig up the root crop of the scorzonera. It is necessary to be in time before the frost and be guided by the timing of harvesting carrots. It is better to use a pitchfork for digging so as not to damage the long brittle roots.
3. At the end of August, on the mother plants of root crops - beets, carrots, radishes - seeds ripen in umbrellas. The umbrellas themselves are mowed and dried to obtain seeds, and then threshed.

Gardener's calendar for August

• At the end of August, the period for the introduction of autumn dressings of fruit and berry crops begins to help the plants prepare for winter.
• In the fall, mineral phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied, it is they that contribute to the ripening of shoots and increase the vitality of trees and shrubs.
• But watering in August is not only unnecessary for many crops in the garden, but also contraindicated.

Top dressing in the August garden

1. From 1 to 25 August, for the successful ripening of cherries in the Urals and preparation for winter, foliar spraying with potassium monophosphate is carried out.
2. Before the beginning of the ripening of berries on late-ripening grape varieties, they are fed with a complex mineral fertilizer containing phosphorus, potassium and trace elements. The bushes are watered with a solution of fertilizers in the evening or in cloudy weather.
3. To fertilize the plantings of strawberries, after pruning, the bushes can be overlaid with semi-decomposed compost and watered.
4. To prevent diseases and pests of apple trees in August, potash fertilizers are applied under the trees. They will help better education and fruit ripening.
5. Plum feeding is mandatory in August. Pour in 1 tbsp. l. potassium chloride and superphosphate and dissolve in water - the introduction of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers will help the plants prepare for winter.
6. In the second half of August, when it is no longer so hot, fertilizing will be useful for the lawn. Just as for other plants, lawn grasses closer to autumn need phosphorus and potassium to increase their resistance to the vagaries of autumn and winter weather. After fertilization, the lawn needs to be watered abundantly.

Watering in August garden

• In August, after the ripening of the currant berries, it needs good watering - for the third time in a season. This procedure helps with bud formation and promotes the maturation of the shoots.
• Raspberries in August, on the contrary, are not watered so that the bushes complete their growth and have time to prepare for winter. Just like cherries - unlike hot July, in a cool rainy August, watering will only harm. From the beginning of August, you should also stop watering the apricot. After harvesting the fruits, do not water the plum either.
• At the end of August, the care of garden strawberries continues. After fruiting, the plants need to be watered abundantly and do not forget to remove dried leaves and whiskers.
• At the beginning of August, it is worth stopping loosening under the apple tree - this will help the tree ripen better.
• In mid-August, when caring for a lawn, it is useful to carry out a soil aeration procedure in order to improve the access of oxygen, moisture, fertilizers to the roots. To do this, use a rake to collect plant residues and pierce the lawn with a pitchfork to a depth of approx. 5 cm in different places.

1. In August, there are signs of cherry coccomycosis damage: due to a decrease in chlorophyll in the leaves, they turn yellow and fall off prematurely.

   To combat the disease, spraying with copper-containing preparations is used. After harvesting, cherries are treated with Bordeaux liquid or copper oxychloride. As always, the biological product Fitosporin, which has fungicidal properties, is also suitable.

   In the Far East, for the treatment and prevention of coccomycosis on cherries, trees are sprayed with Bordeaux liquid, first in early spring, then after flowering and in the first autumn days.

2. In the last summer month, it is time to start fighting rodents in order to prepare the site for wintering. To protect fruit trees from mice and voles in the garden, you need to regularly lay out poisoned baits.
3. In August, traces of the vital activity of pests of conifers appear. Spraying with insecticidal chemical, biological or herbal preparations will help to protect against annoying insects.
4. While the berries are ripening, do not ignore the raspberries. To combat the raspberry beetle, the soil in the raspberry tree must be constantly loosened with the addition of ash or tobacco dust.
5. In August, many pests of the apple tree manifest themselves. Caterpillars of the codling moth and hawthorn can be stopped with trapping belts, shaken off and treated with biological products so as not to harm the fruit. They will help in the fight against gluttonous insects and birds on the site.
6. In early August, you can see signs of powdery mildew on gooseberries. You should not hesitate and immediately treat the bushes with Topaz using special garden sprays or alternative "folk" means: infusion of ash, soda with soap, milk.
7. At the same time, oidium appears on grapes. Sulfur preparations are suitable for treating fungal diseases. Treatments are carried out weekly, but stop 3 weeks before harvest.

Pruning trees and shrubs

Grape

• In August, minting begins in the vineyard: some of the upper roots are removed in order to stimulate the growth of the lower part of the root of the grapes and help better ripening of bunches and vines.
• In Siberia, grapes are minted around August 20, shortening the top by approx. 30 cm.
• In August, it will be necessary to tie up the grape vines and thin out the crown, and remove the leaves that cover and shade the bunches.
• At the end of August, it is already necessary to have time to finish work with the vine and not to carry out pruning on the grapes.

If by August 1, on a cherry in the Urals, the tops of the shoots are light, tender, not lignified, you need to pinch - pinch the tops to accelerate the ripening of the wood and help prepare the plant for winter.

At the end of August, the tops of unripe shoots are cut off on mulberry to the place where the wood is hard. This will increase the winter hardiness of the plant.

In early August, the reproduction of garden strawberries continues by dividing the bush. For this, the most valuable bushes are chosen, which bear fruit well throughout the season.

Until the middle of the month, budding can be carried out - summer grafting of trees. When determining the timing of budding, you need to focus on which cut. If the cut is wet, moisture is oozing out of it - feel free to vaccinate, if the cut is dry, you cannot do the grafting. So, for example, you can propagate an apple tree using the summer budding technique.

Harvesting in the garden

1. Mass ripening of black currant berries begins in early August. Depending on the variety, the ripening period can be extended by plus or minus 2 weeks.
2. Starting from mid-August, hazelnuts ripen - the moment of fruit ripening is noticeable on the drying leaves around the nut. In order not to break the shoots, hazelnuts are not plucked, but carefully cut off.
3. Actinidia ripens in the Far East at the end of August. The berries fall off instantly, so you shouldn't delay harvesting. Better to let the berries be a little underripe - in a couple of days they will become noticeably sweeter.
4. At the end of August, in order to prolong the fruiting of remontant raspberries and increase the yield, the bushes can be covered with polyethylene or non-woven fabric.
5. In order for blackberries in Siberia to bear fruit well, shelter will not hurt her either. Additional shelter is laid on arches, which contributes to the rapid ripening of berries

Florist's calendar for August

In early August, the re-flowering of graceful lupine usually begins - of course, if you did not "greedy" and cut off the faded peduncles in time. Astilba still blooms, the inflorescences of which look great in a bouquet.

• In August, watering an already unpretentious liverwort - a beautiful primrose - is completely stopped and awaits a new gentle blue flowering in early spring.
• To prepare roses for winter, you need to add phosphorus and potassium. Fertilizers will stunt growth, increase frost resistance and improve wood maturation.

Peonies

1. In August, rooted healthy layers of tree peony are planted. They are separated from the mother plant and placed in pre-prepared soil. If peony cuttings have been rooted, in August they can be transplanted into open ground to a permanent place.
2. In August, it is a good time to buy planting material for ito-hybrids of peonies immediately after digging and dividing the bush. Starting from mid-August, they are planted in a sunny place at a distance of about 1 m from other perennials. A cut is placed in a half-meter hole with fertilizers, deepening the buds by 3-5 cm.

Ornamental shrubs

• In early August, you can still plant rhododendrons in containers with a closed root system. Drainage is done in a 40 by 60 cm planting hole, sour peat, compost, coniferous litter, rotted manure and river sand are added. The root collar is not buried, the planting site is compacted, spilled, mulched.
• Until mid-August, you can continue planting hydrangeas. This elegant shrub can easily endure a transplant.

Bulbous

1. At the end of the month, you can already plan the autumn planting of bulbous flowers. The bulbs are planted at three depths of the bulb with the addition of a complete complex mineral fertilizer. The bulbs are pickled before planting.
2. For example, you can start planting tulip bulbs, especially if you have few gardening activities. If the season is hot and there is no time for tulips, it is easy to postpone planting the bulbs for the next months.
3. In the Moscow region, the main term for planting tulips before winter is October.

Transplants in a flower garden in August

Ornamental cabbage
In the third decade of August, you can transplant ornamental cabbage from a garden bed to a flower bed. Cabbage transfers transplants easily, the main thing is to transplant together with a lump of earth and water thoroughly.

Mallow
With thickened plantings, mallow is also transplanted to a new place, leaving a distance of about half a meter between the plants.

Clematis
August is good for planting clematis, the optimal timing is usually at the end of the month. When planting clematis, you need to choose a bright place, protected from the wind, lime the soil, it should be warm and well moisturized. After planting clematis, you need to water abundantly weekly and do not forget about feeding.

Reproduction in a flower garden

1. At the end of August, you can start breeding phlox. Flowers are propagated by dividing the rhizomes, starting at 3 years of age, by cuttings, axillary shoots or root cuttings (this is, if you need to get a large amount of planting material).
2. In August, every 4-5 years, the dubious Jeffersonia is propagated. Seed propagation is rarely used, vegetative propagation is more common. For this, Jeffersonia is dug up, divided into parts with 2-3 kidneys. Delenki quickly take root and bloom the next spring.
3. Every two years, the perennial delphinium needs to be divided, and this is best done in mid-August. At the same time, the petunia begins a dormant period after lush flowering, and you can start grafting the petunia. During the winter, the cuttings will take root and bloom for the next season faster and more luxuriantly.
4. In August, you can divide the tuberous roots of the liatris. To do this, they are dug up and sorted into large and small. Smaller rhizomes are planted for growing, and flowering specimens will grow from large tubers for the next season.
5. In August, when Pelargonium ivy has already grown long lashes, they can be cut off and cuttings used for propagation. They are immediately planted in the soil; they are not soaked or rooted in water.

Top dressing in the flower garden

1. In August, the feeding of many flowering plants gradually dwindles. So on chrysanthemums, which prefer fertile soil and additional nutrition, feeding stops in August. On dahlias, dressing in August is also not applied, so as not to delay the ripening of root tubers.
2. At the very beginning, it is not too late to add superphosphate under the lilies, if they have not done this earlier. This will be the fourth and final feeding. Two liters of solution is enough for 1 m² of a flower garden.
3. In the second half of August, flower beds with perennial delphinium are watered with ash infusion. Before any top dressing, the soil must be shed with clean water so that the fertilizers do not burn the roots.
4. At the end of August, it is useful to huddle dahlias so that the tubers do not freeze before digging in the fall. At the same time, mineral feeding (with a superphosphate solution) of rhododendron is carried out so that the shoots have time to mature and prepare for winter.

Houseplants

• Pets cannot be ignored even in the hot summer season. Throughout August, it is still required to apply fertilizers for zonal pelargonium.
• If throughout the spring and summer, feeding of passionflower was carried out every two weeks with organic or mineral fertilizers, then in August the amount of applied fertilizers can be reduced and by the end of the month completely stop. Let the plant retire and prepare for wintering.
• Indoor chrysanthemum in August, on the contrary, begins to bloom profusely. To make the flowers larger and more luxuriant, do not forget to pinch off the extra buds and leave only a few pieces.
• In August, watering rates on orchids begin to decrease, but throughout the month you can still feed the flowers with phosphorus fertilizers.
• In August, stone plants - lithops begin to bloom. Abundant watering will help to stimulate the appearance of a flower, but only so that between waterings the soil has time to completely dry out.
