What are they putting under the winter? Pros and cons of podzimnih crops

Even in the fall, truck farmers do not stop planting on their sites. What do the indefatigable toilers plant under the winter and is there any sense in this?

Podzimnego sowing has many advantages:

• Winter reserve of moisture is effectively used.
• Seedlings appear two weeks earlier than when sown in the spring. This allows you to harvest early crops in areas where the soil warms up slowly.
• After collecting the ripened vegetables in the middle of summer, you can use the beds to get a new crop.
• Time is released, which is so lacking in the spring.

In addition, many seeds before germination must undergo stratification, and the cold period will only benefit them.

Cons: the root crops that are planted under the winter, often begins to grow a flower arrow. This is especially characteristic of carrots and beets. There is also a danger that during a sudden thaw the shoots can go to growth, and when frost comes, they die.

What vegetables are planted for the winter ?

After harvesting the main crops, it is necessary to prepare beds for sub-winter crops, stock up on mulch and dry nutrient soil for the sprinkling of seeds. Sam crop is produced much later: when the air will cool to 0 degrees, and the soil - up to -4 ⁰ C. According to popular signs this time comes when the foliage of the cherry falls.

An important rule: what is planted under the winter, it is necessary to sow dry seeds in a dry land. Basic crops for sub-winter crops:

• Parsley. This cold-resistant spice rises very long. Such a crop allows you to get fresh greens earlier for several weeks.
• Dill, spinach, celery, cabbage and lettuce . Easy to bear frosts, spring rise smoothly and amicably. Maturation can be greatly accelerated by using a shelter.
• Radish, turnips, beets . For sowing, cold resistant varieties resistant to rifling are taken.
• Carrots with podzimnem sowing is a huge advantage. Its tugovskoschie seeds sprout for a long time and in the spring they are compelled to compete with growing weeds. Planted in late autumn carrots with the onset of plus temperatures quickly develops and its tender sprouts do not throttle weeds.
• Onions and winter garlic are perfectly preserved in the ground and yield a good harvest. They can also be sown under the winter for seeds.

What colors are not terrible frost

The benefits of early vegetables that provide the first spring vitamins is obvious. And what can be planted under the winter for the soul, and not for eating? The creation of a beautiful garden begins in autumn. Seeds of flowers will pass a natural stratification and will rise under favorable weather conditions. When sowing fliers, two things must be considered:

1. Sowing seeds can only be in a lightly cultivated soil. On heavy lands, flowers do not grow together and grow poorly.
2. The germination capacity of such crops is relatively low, so planting is thick.

Also it must be remembered that only cold-resistant flowers are planted under the winter, tender heat-loving summer crops are sown in the spring.

A number of plants develop better when sowing at the end of autumn. These are cornflowers, portolac, Iberis, godets, gypsophila, pyrethrum, clarkia, eschholziya, delphiniums.

A good result is the sowing of scabiosa, lion's pharynx, petunia, Chinese carnation, helichrysum and calendula.

The benefits of this method are obvious: no need to grow seedlings, plants are stronger, stronger and blossom earlier than their hothouse counterparts. They are more resistant to weather conditions and diseases and have a well developed root system.
