IN sowing lunar calendar for May 2016 You will find tips for the month and for every day. With this knowledge, any gardener will be able to harvest a great harvest!

Landing days for May 2016

Let's feed the cabbage

In early May, it is recommended to feed the cabbage planted in April. Early ripe varieties of cabbage should not be overfed with nitrogen, because. this leads to a delay in tying heads. It is good to carry out top dressing with potassium, it makes the cabbage more resistant to diseases.

Protect tomatoes

Tomatoes - reliable protection from asparagus rattle, aphids, sawfly and moths. In this regard, they are recommended to be grown near asparagus, gourds, cabbage.

It is useful to plant several tomato bushes near the gooseberry, which often suffers from moth.

And the pepper will be healthy

Having landed in open ground sweet pepper seedlings, do not forget to pay attention to the leaves of newcomers, especially during cold snaps. If the temperature in the yard stays below 12 degrees for a long time, the root system of heat-loving crops (and peppers, zucchini, tomatoes are exactly like that) stops working, the plants begin to starve. To maintain a growing point, they take nutrients from the leaves, they turn yellow and then fall off.

If the cold weather lasts more than 5-6 days, you can not do without top dressing on the leaves with calcium nitrate (half a tablespoon per bucket of water). In addition, in such weather, it is appropriate to spray the plants with ecoberin, novosil (silkom) or epin-extra: these drugs will help them survive stress.

Radishes without bitterness

Radishes will be less pungent in taste and more juicy and crispy if the furrow is lightly salted with food salt before sowing, and then the bed is generously watered in the morning and evening. But in the heat you should not do this: the water will immediately evaporate through the leaves, without making the “weather” inside the root crop.

How to feed onions

To be guaranteed to be with the harvest, onions need to be fed a couple of times during the growing season. At the end of May, 10-15 g of ammonium nitrate per day are added to the soil. square meter beds or on the same area in a bucket of an aqueous solution of slurry (concentration 1:6).

Three weeks after the first feeding, the second one is also carried out: 10-15 g of ammonium nitrate and potassium salt per square meter of plantings.

At the same time, do not forget to water the onions.

Thank you mustard

Mustard as green manure enriches the soil with phosphorus and sulfur, partly clears the beds from the bear and wireworm. If this crop is sown next to peas, the harvest will be twice as large. Yes, and onions grow better after mustard.

While young

Rhubarb stalks should preferably be harvested young. In the old ones, there are much fewer vitamins and much more oxalic acid, which, after heat treatment, becomes a prerequisite for the formation of oxalates (kidney stones).

For bow

Onions will resist powdery mildew more actively if watered. warm water(not lower than 18 degrees). And when the bird cherry blossoms and the onion fly wakes up, the row-spacing should be sprinkled with tobacco dust or lime to protect it from the pest.

We fertilize currants

Currant is responsive to fertilizers. Therefore, to ensure good productivity, it is necessary to apply annually 2-4 kg of compost or manure, 20-30 g of urea, 30-50 g of superphosphate, 15-20 g of potassium chloride per square meter.

Foliar fertilizing with microelements is also effective. We remind you that zinc increases resistance to fungal diseases, boron contributes to better flowering and fertilization, manganese - to increase yield. Foliar top dressing is carried out in the phases of flowering and the formation of ovaries, in the evening or in the morning after the dew dries.
