In colder regions winter garlic put in October, but at us it do usually in November, choosing dry days.

The place of beds for garlic needs to be changed annually. The best predecessors of this culture – cucumbers and others pumpkin, and also bean and cabbage. It is impossible to put garlic after potatoes and onions. Similar to garlic and in the same terms – under winter – land onions-sevok. A difference only that the smallest onions (a so-called ovsyuzhka), for this purpose select diameter less than 1 see.

For onions it is important to define correctly crops time, to choose such period that shoots weren’t lost that he managed to take roots, however didn’t manage to give a feather. Therefore it is necessary to keep account annually approaches of frosts, to watch reports of weather and to watch plants in the nature. All these supervision will help to choose successfully time for crops of vegetables under winter, especially when the autumn stands out the long.

Approximately in three weeks before frosts land grade lukovichka a shtuttgarter rizen. Put this grade on the prepared and stood bed, in grooves depth 2 see.

Sample of some other grades in diameter in two fingers land a week earlier in holes depth 4 see. Distance between bulbs same, as at spring landing. Onions mulch, and with approach of frosts pour on beds the earth, covering them also a layer (1,5 – 2 cm) sawdust or other ukryvny material. If the winter stands out also snow, the onions will winter quite successfully, at such shelter to it hard frosts will be not terrible even.

In the spring as soon as will melt snow, a mulch remove, loosen row-spacings and slightly otgrebayut the soil from onions that it didn’t squeeze a bulb, didn’t disturb formation of an onions nest and the feather grew easier. The roller which is formed thus in row-spacings, after several waterings gradually settles and is leveled. The onions grow quicker therefore it is less damaged by diseases and wreckers.

By the way, the crop of carrots, fennel, parsley and spinach too can be collected in the spring earlier if to sow these plants in November. So they develop strong root system and better absorb moisture. In the winter these cultures become tempered and ascend at lower temperature, than poseyanny in the spring. They transfer late, even April frosts easier. However, to put in November it is possible not any grades, and only that late blossom or don’t start up an arrow.

For these cultures at autumn landing too it is very important to define crops time correctly. If to sow too early, seeds will sprout – and in the winter of a plant will be lost. And to sow to very frozen earth too it is impossible. It is necessary to time so that in the autumn seeds bulked up, but didn’t sprout. Skilled vegetable growers say that it is best of all to sow these cultures after the first frosts.
