5 Plants You Must Have Time to Plant in November
At the end of autumn, do not rely on warm weather and sunny days. The earth is preparing for winter rest, like nature itself. Already in the middle of the month you will not see gorgeous foliage on the trees.
Everything becomes boring and gray, but not for summer residents. Their season in November does not end, but on the contrary, requires additional efforts from them.
We are talking about pre-winter soil preparation and planting of certain plant species.
Soil preparation
After summer, the soil is depleted, so it will have to be fed.
For this, the following are entered:
· Humus. It will be required for one square meter 4 kilos;
· Fertilizers with phosphorus and potassium;
Ash;
· Sawdust, it is desirable that they were rotted;
· peat.
Need to know! An alternative to the listed components will be nutritious soil for the garden. It can be purchased at specialist gardening stores.
After planting, the beds are mulched. This helps the seedlings to survive the winter and temperature extremes. Watering the seedlings is not required.
Plants for winter planting
Planting some crops in late autumn is good because the volume of work is reduced in the spring. And overwintered plants, according to experienced gardeners, are more resistant to various diseases, grow intensively and give a juicy and early harvest.
We will find out which plants you should pay attention to and plant them in November.
Onion
We are talking about onion sets. It must be planted before frost. Small-sized bulbs (no more than 1 cm in diameter) are selected and placed in the soil 3 cm deep. You can do the same with winter garlic.
Then the beds are mulched with compost to insulate the tubers and allow them to take root well.
Carrot
Do not be afraid to plant carrots in the fall. From my own experience, I can say that the roots planted in November will painlessly endure the winter and give a juicy harvest.
The only rule is to choose the appropriate varieties intended for sub-winter planting. It is advisable to choose granular seeds.
You can plant beets and radishes in the same way.
Dill and sorrel
Greens planted in autumn will surely delight you with early shoots in spring. It is desirable to sow them at the end of the month. For their sowing, the first snow will not hurt either. You don't need to cover them. I use a lot of seeds at once, as not everyone will be able to withstand the frost.
And when the snow melts, it is advisable to cover the bed in order to get early shoots faster. Thus, you can plant other greens, such as salad, cilantro, parsley, spinach.
The landing site should be slightly elevated. It is important that a lot of sun gets into the garden.
Phlox
Of the flowers, phlox, tulips and other perennials will be the most hardy. The site is chosen elevated so that in the spring the seeds remain intact and do not wash off when the snow melts.
Planting material should be large. Be sure to mulch the soil after planting seeds and bulbs.
Pharmaceutical chamomile
Chamomile tolerates cold winters and produces excellent early shoots. It can be used not only as a medicine, but also as a tea.
Medicinal plants that should be planted in November include St. John's wort, valerian, sage, succession.
Do not be afraid of the first frost and do not worry about the plants planted in November.
In the spring they will definitely make themselves felt, and you will be convinced that their harvest will be not only the first, but also the most delicious. Good luck!
