October is golden autumn, leafy and wedding.

In October, the last plants that could still remain in the garden or on the balcony (such as aucuba, laurel, ligustrum, boxwood) are brought indoors. At this time, many indoor plants enter a state of winter dormancy. Therefore, they need to be watered much less frequently and not fed with anything until spring. In the middle or end of October, due to weather conditions, when the temperature remains stable at -5-8 C, they begin to cover the roses for the winter with spruce branches. If there are prerequisites for the onset of early severe frosts with a small amount of snow, then you can fill the central part of the rose bush with dry humus and compost, and you need to protect them from moisture, covering them so that air circulation is ensured under the cover, otherwise the roses may dry out.
Helpful advice. How to clean a clay pot from white limescale or stains? - Rub the pot with raw potatoes, and then rinse everything off in water with a stiff brush.

Garden work in October

It is necessary to collect the remaining crops. Only after this can you begin preparing for wintering.

Harvest and storage

You need to collect pears and apples and send them for storage. In order for them to last longer, it is necessary to cool the fruits immediately after removing them from the branches and send them to a temperature of 0 ... + 5 °. If the fruits are picked too early, then they should be kept at +2...+5°, otherwise they will not have time to ripen completely.

Before you send the crop for storage, you need to sort it out. Discard diseased, damaged and rotten fruits.

It is recommended to store fruits in cardboard boxes or boxes with bars. If they are not available, then strong translucent bags of 1-1.5 kg will do.

Helpful information! Large fruits ripen earlier, so fruits of each variety should be sorted by size and taken from the cellar at different times. This way you can be sure that they will all have time to ripen by the time of consumption.

Planting and preparation for wintering

Fruit crops can be planted 2 weeks before the first frost. When the foliage begins to change color, spray the crown with urea. This is necessary to destroy fungal spores, incl. scab.

In October you can sow seeds of apple, pear, stone fruit, quince, and viburnum trees. They will undergo cold stratification and sprout in the spring.

Before frost comes, finely dig up the soil under the plantings. Do not break the lumps so that moisture is better absorbed and the snow is retained. Thanks to digging, some of the pests overwintering in the ground will also die.

New plantings should be mulched. In this case, there is no need for digging; light loosening is sufficient. If sawdust, hay or straw are used as mulch, they must be pre-treated with urea or ammonium nitrate.

Trimming

It is necessary to trim currants and gooseberries. Remove old and thickening shoots to allow crops to grow freely. Thanks to this, you will be able to get a rich harvest in the next growing season. When pruning, stumps should not be left behind, because this is an excellent place for overwintering various insects and infectious agents.

Red currants will bear fruit for 15-20 years, black currants - 5-6, and gooseberries - 5-8. After this, the plantings need to be updated.

Strawberries produce a bountiful harvest for 2 years, but in the 3rd season it becomes worse. Therefore, after the 3rd fruiting, the plantation needs to be dug up and new bushes planted.

Other jobs

The trunk circles of young specimens need to be dug up to a depth of 0.15-0.2 m. After the arrival of frost, they will need to be mulched.

Before the ground freezes, dig holes for spring planting.

To help trees survive wintering better, add phosphorus-potassium mixtures to the tree trunk and hoe them into the ground. If this has been done before, then there is no need for repeated manipulation.

Remove old bark from the trunks and whiten them. For young specimens it is better to use a chalk solution. For mature trees, it is advisable to use a mixture of lime and clay or a special garden paint.

Remove dried leaves and remnants of vegetation and debris. Collect and burn dried and diseased branches.

Proper care of indoor flowers in October 2021

Watering and fertilizing

Firstly, it is necessary to thoroughly study the characteristics of each specific indoor plant. The variability of care in October 2020 is directly influenced by such characteristics as:

• beginning of the rest period
• flowering time
• general condition of the plant
• other.

With the onset of autumn, most varieties and types of indoor flowers experience a slowdown in metabolic processes. The fading of a flower and the absence of young greenery is a signal to reduce the volume of watering and stop applying mineral or organic fertilizers. The plant is resting. This means that in October it is necessary to minimize soil moisture (so as not to cause waterlogging), and feed the roots less than once every 2 weeks / 1 month. This rule applies, for example, to gerbera and geranium, but crassula (crassula), fragrant callisia, mimosolia jacaranda and many other plants do not need to be fertilized at all in October.

However, it is worth remembering that the resting phase is not the same for all indoor flowers. For example, ginura, azalea, Decembrist or some varieties of clivia in the off-season, on the contrary, prepare for flowering and active growth. Therefore, reducing the amount of fertilizing in October can have a detrimental effect on the appearance and health of buds.

Some indoor plants are interesting because they do not have a pronounced dormant period. So, if comfortable conditions are created for abutilon (indoor maple) in September - October, it will continue flowering for many more months. The same applies to drip beloperone. During the flowering period (all year round), the plant needs full feeding with mineral or organic fertilizer.

vines, roses, rhododendrons
and others). It is also worth mulching the bushes with safe material or covering them with spruce branches. If the weather is warm, then you should not cover the plants yet, so that the coverings do not lead to rotting. Boards, burlap, craft paper, straw mats and other materials are suitable for shelters.

It is also worth taking care of shelter for coniferous shrubs

, which should be protected from the sun, as well as from branches breaking off under the weight of snow in winter. They can be tied with twine or tied with burlap. If you have any container plants, then by the end of the month it is time to bring them into the warmth.

What can you plant in October?

Often in the fall you can find spruce, pine, and fir seedlings in markets or in stores. Just in the fall they take root well. All you need to do is carefully remove the tree from the pot and plant it in the ground, then water it generously. A living decorative hedge is the dream of many gardeners, but not everyone can realize it due to the high cost of seedlings. If you plant fresh barberry or dera seeds in October, you can get seedlings in the spring, and a year later they can be planted in a permanent place. The main thing when sowing is to plant a little more seeds than necessary, since not all of them will germinate.

Before winter, it is customary to plant more exotic trees, for example Pseudotsuga. Seeds from fresh cones must be placed in beds, the soil of which consists of sand and humus to a depth of 1.5-2 cm. After 4-6 years, the seedlings are planted in permanent places.

In the garden, it is better to plant plants that grow slowly and are frost-resistant, such as rhubarb, parsley, mustard, and sorrel. The shell on the seeds of these crops is very thick; if they are planted in the spring, they need more time to germinate, and in winter the seeds undergo natural stratification. The growth of such plants in the spring will go much faster, and the first harvest can be harvested in early May. The main area where they plan to plant these crops should be on a hill so that melt water does not stagnate on it.

Onions and garlic are the most common representatives for planting before winter. These crops are very resilient and can survive even during the winter thaw. In order to get strong, hardened seedlings in the spring, you need to sow tomato, corn, and sunflower seeds in the soil. For such planting, of course, you will need 1.5 times more seed, because the strongest shoots will sprout. But such seedlings will have increased resistance to diseases and pests, resistant to possible unfavorable growth conditions.
