Garlic in the country went up in the fall: what to do? I myself learned and calmed
Welcome growers!
Abnormally warm weather in October and November turned the garden all on its head. Who roses still in bloom, a neighbor japonica blossomed. But the main problem - the shoots of winter garlic.
I have not been in the country for 10 days. Yesterday called on a neighbor site and asked to check my beds and fell into horror and garlic sprouted from me. But, do not panic! It turns out that there are ways to keep the winter harvest. Nothing complicated and critical there. Let's look at all turns.
And it is terrible features as the November heat, which will change the frost?
Under ideal conditions, garlic root before winter and sleeps under the snow. A spring, with the advent of heat builds up and begins to grow teeth. Pleased summer cottager will bring notable harvest.
What is the threat of late autumn heat on?
Garlic, confusing warm autumn with early spring, embarks on a growth. What happened to my garden. If suddenly hit the cold, and the snow - the main shelter of garlic - will not freeze sprouted teeth.But do not be upset to see in your garden sprouting garlic. Because garlic - very hardy. Some varieties less, some more, but the fact remains that a little frost will not cause Sprouted garlic substantial harm (even if part of the landings will die, some still successfully perezimuet). A snow and cold to severe falls already...
Moreover, there are 2 ways to stay with a good harvest for the coming year
First, insure. It can still be killed because of abnormal weather of the garlic. Do not want to lose the harvest? Just nasuyte in a bed replacement teeth. Spring will see that the rose - it was gone.
What will it give? If the whole garlic in the spring will be refreshed, you will thin out the landing. If the first landing of the garlic will be gone, dosazhennye teeth compensate for the loss. As you can see, the harvest will be in any case.
Second, to protect what is there. Apply on top of dry fallen leaves or straw. Even ordinary earth approach. Making the layer thickness of 10-30 cm, you can completely save the harvest, even if the cold come without snow. In the spring, of course, shovel shelter - when the danger has passed.
Tomorrow I leave on giving! Put a "Thumbs Up" if you are planting garlic and the article was interesting for you! Thank you for vacationers.
