Mid-August - the perfect time to plant radishes. Detailed instructions for "lazy"

Good day, readers of our channel! Here come the last month of summer. We are actively reaping the fruits of our labors. Moreover, both literally and figuratively! But there are vegetables that can be planted in August, and they well they have time to keep up to the end of the season. If you follow certain rules. For example, radishes. Our today's publication - just about the intricacies of planting radishes in August.

Fresh crunchy radish, vitamin-rich, always "to the table." So why not take the opportunity?

By the way, in late August radish grows even better than at the beginning of the summer. The whole secret - in reducing the duration of daylight. Prolonged illumination radish blooms that deplete root and ruining crops. Closer to the fall is no such problem!

When buying seeds look at the ripening time. He is always indicated on the bag. At his dacha I use for planting my favorite "French Breakfast". According to the manufacturer, from the time of germination to harvest it takes only 3 weeks. And my experience shows that this is true! And you can choose other varieties from around the same ripening.

I read a lot of "tricks" how to plant radishes in the late summer. And on top even I tried some of them. Needless to say, that they only took away my time and effort.

What I do not, planting radishes:

• Do not soak the seeds in a potassium permanganateTo kill fungi and bacteria. Do not know if I was lucky, then it really is not necessary to measure - but never no problems. Write in the comments if it is you do?
• Do not soak the seeds of radish in waterSo they quickly sprouted. Radishes - a surprisingly fast-growing culture. In my opinion, it is second only to the salad and some other types of greens) seeds, if they are healthy and high-quality, germinate in a few days. What could be faster?
• Not sprinkled with ashes. I have met more often for some reason this recommendation. What for? During the time while growing radishes in the ground "will leave" a tiny part of the useful elements. It is better to use the infusion of ash, if you really want.
• I do not fertilize anything. Radishes grow perfectly even in the garden, which until recently were growing other crops. But each season, spring or fall, I raise the fertility of the land by special measures (for example, I bring compost or green manure are buried). And that is enough!

What am I doing:

✔ Preparing the ground. Nothing extraordinary: just dig over the top layer, pick weeds, slightly loose and harrowed rakes. The procedure takes 20-40 minutes depending on the size of the future "redisochnoy plantation."

✔ Do grooves. The distance between them - 25 cm. A few hours before planting slightly watered, so that the soil was moist. But not turned into mud.

✔ places seed into the soil at intervals of about 6-8 cm. That's enough to roots do not interfere with each other, and the leaves did not shade neighbors. The depth - from 1 to 2 cm. Just sprinkled on top of the ground, with

✔ Caring. This reduces to the glaze, if it is hot and dried out the top layer of the earth. The first watering - not earlier than 4 days after planting. More nuance - I'm a little krivorukost, so sometimes a notch seeds fall very close to each other. Then I just decimates shoots!
