We plant winter garlic in the fall - terms, rules and recommendations. Which garlic is better to plant: winter in autumn or spring in spring

Many gardeners plant garlic for the winter. This procedure allows the soil to be in constant activity. In the spring, you can already feast on fresh herbs. This earlier appearance of the crop attracts many gardeners.

When to plant

The first issue when growing this crop is the time of planting. It is difficult to say the exact date, because it is influenced by many characteristics. You can only determine the approximate landing time:

  • In regions with short summers and early frosts, it is recommended to plant in September. Later planting for the winter will lead to the fact that the plant will not be able to acquire the desired root system.
  • In regions with a mild and hot climate, landing begins only from the beginning of October. With an early planting, the plant will begin to grow and die when the first snow falls.

Choose a variety

In regions with a moderately cold climate, it is best to leave your choice on winter varieties.

They are planted for the winter at the end of September. Before the first frosts appear, the plant has time to acquire an extensive root system and gain immunity. As a result, winter passes with ease for them.

Late planting of winter garlic before winter leads to poor root formation and, as a result, some of the plants die, while the other will slowly come out in the spring.

The increased yield is affected not only by the variety, but also by the following characteristics:

  • the state of the soil layer;
  • characteristic weather conditions;
  • the quality of the selected seed.

Choose a place

Garlic loves dry places that have good light. Only loamy soils with low acidity are suitable for cultivation. A bed for planting is required to be prepared in 1.5 months.

To get a bountiful harvest, crop rotation must be observed. On the same bed, a plant can only be planted twice.

Good predecessors are cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, pumpkin and zucchini. All of them are annual crops that have a short growing season. Such plants enrich the soil with nitrogen. It is this substance that garlic requires for the full development and obtaining a rich harvest.

It is better to prepare a bed for planting in advance

Not worth planting winter garlic for the winter after potatoes, radishes, turnips and carrots.

After these vegetable crops, the land is very depleted and it takes a long time to restore its useful material. Even if you use high-quality fertilizers after them, you still cannot achieve the desired result in a couple of months.

Preparing the bed for planting includes fertilizing. To prepare it you will need:

  • Horse manure humus - 1 bucket.
  • Nitrophoska - 1 tbsp. l.
  • Superphosphate - 1 tbsp.
  • Dolomite flour (you can take lime) - 1 cup.

This amount of fertilizer is consumed per 1 m2.

Scheme and depth of planting garlic

After top dressing, the bed is carefully dug up, deepening more than 20 cm. Then the earth is leveled with a garden rake. A solution of copper sulphate is sprayed onto a flat surface with a watering can. For this, 10 liters of water are taken, in which 40 grams of vitriol is dissolved. A liter of the mixture is enough for 1 m2.

As soon as the whole process of feeding the soil is over, it is covered with a film or a piece of roofing material. Such a shelter should be in the garden before disembarking.

Before planting garlic, it is necessary to designate future rows. Wood ash is poured between them. This will drive away insects and various pests from the beds.

Preparing garlic

Everyone knows that the propagation of garlic is selective. Therefore, the winter species is planted with cloves or bulbs-bulbs.

If planted with cloves, the result will be a good and quick harvest. If planting will be carried out with bulb bulbs, then the result is getting large bulbs.

Garlic cloves prepared for planting

True, you need to know that in the second option, in order to obtain seed, the plant must grow for two years. In the first year, the bulb produces only one clove, and in the second year it already has many cloves.

A healthy harvest can only be obtained with careful selection of planting material.

Choosing and preparing cloves:

  • The selection is based on size. For landing for the winter, only large cloves are required. They take root better and grow well.
  • Materials bitten and damaged by insects are excluded. Such cloves give a sick crop.

Disinfection and hardening must be carried out. To do this, garlic is aged in a solution that can be made from potassium permanganate or copper sulfate. Ash lye is also excellent. To prepare it, you need 400 g of wood ash and 2 liters of water. Everything is mixed and boiled for about 30 minutes. After cooling the solution, seed is placed in it for 2 hours.

Planting cloves in the garden

  • Preparation of winter garlic is as follows:
  • Only the largest are selected;
  • The seed must be well dried;
  • Immediately before planting, the bulbs are sprayed with a solution that is prepared either from potassium permanganate or from ash lye.

Landing

It is very good if the soil is slightly moist before planting. This will make it easier to mark rows. They are drawn at a distance of 25 cm. Which planting to choose will depend on the seed.

For teeth:

  • the depth of the groove is 16–17 cm;
  • river sand 3 cm is laid at the bottom of the groove;
  • the gap between the teeth is not more than 15 cm.

Bulbs will give a harvest only in the second year

For bulb:

  • the depth of the furrow is 3-4 cm;
  • the interval between the bulbs is not more than 10 cm.

There is various ways planting plants in the fall:

The bed for winter garlic needs to be slightly moistened. For this, ordinary warm water is suitable. You can dissolve some yeast in water. After that, furrows are drawn at a distance of 20–25 cm. The plant is planted every 10 cm. After that, they are covered with earth and watered. Soil mulching is required. by the most in a simple way is falling asleep leaves.

If the plot is small, but you want to plant more, then you should use this option. This method involves a double planting of the plant in the fall.

The first cloves deepen by 10 cm. 5-6 cm of earth is poured on top and the second layer is planted. It should also be covered with 5-6 cm of earth. This method also requires soil mulching.

Garlic sprouts break through mulch in spring

The following method is very often called "lazy". In this case, the plant is planted for the winter, at any depth and there is no need to adhere to a certain distance between the seed. Here, only the gap between the rows is observed, which, as elsewhere, is 20–25 cm. After that, the rows are sprinkled with earth and leaves.

Which planting to choose depends on the gardener. The main thing is to provide the plant with the necessary fertilizers, because in early spring it will actively want to grow. Therefore, in the fall, special attention is paid to mulching. All leaves must be folded over. Before frost, the leaf layer can be updated.

If the plant does not keep up with acquiring a wide root system before frost, then it is recommended to cover the beds plastic wrap or a piece of ruberoid.

This will insulate the soil and give the plant extra time to establish itself before the onset of cold weather.

Winter garlic is always well born in my garden. I have been cultivating this crop for two decades and I don’t remember a year when it has not grown. Larger or slightly smaller, but garlic always succeeds. I recommend that you start growing your favorite seasoning and medicine for all novice summer residents.

Winter garlic is extremely frost-resistant, and only very strong and prolonged sub-zero temperatures can harm plantings. What conditions are necessary in order to grow a healthy crop of large, fragrant garlic?

The timing of sowing winter garlic cloves is determined individually for each region. In the Moscow region and in the Volga region, it is customary to plant winter garlic from the last decade of September to the second decade of October. In areas with mild winters, the time shifts until the end of October - the beginning of November.

The best temperature for planting is around 5-7 degrees. If you're late, don't worry, sit back later.

Advice! Do not be afraid to plant garlic in chilly weather, rains and frosts. Until stable "cons" come, you can sow winter garlic cloves.

It is no coincidence that the terms are chosen in such a way, because a golden mean is needed. On the one hand, so that the plantings do not freeze out, on the other hand, so that they do not germinate in the fall at positive temperatures and do not lose the strength necessary for spring forcing.

How to prepare a garden

It is important to properly prepare the landing site. We choose a new ridge for garlic, and not the one on which it has grown for the last year (preferably, but not necessary, because someone has no other place).

  • We have a garden bed in an open area, where there is always natural light.
  • We make sure that the sun is not obstructed by tall trees, shrubs, a blank fence and walls of outbuildings.
  • The best predecessors are cucumbers, pumpkins, eggplants, zucchini.
  • The ridge is dug up with the addition of humus, a little less than a bucket is taken square meter. You can add superphosphate up to 10-20 grams, a little wood ash.
  • The width of the beds is 60-80 centimeters, its height is up to 20 centimeters.
  • Water will not stagnate on a high bed, it is easier to weed, loosen, that is, take care of it.

Preparing garlic for planting

For sowing, we select the best specimens of garlic, divide large ripened heads into cloves. It is advisable to do this right before landing. Try not to damage the dense peel, plant bottom down.

I do not soak the teeth before planting, some gardeners prefer to do the so-called disinfection, for example, with potassium permanganate.

Advice! Do not overexpose the garlic cloves in the solution, and even more so do not leave them in it overnight. You can easily damage the hatched roots on the bottom when pressed into the ground.

If the roots are swollen, change the method of planting, refuse to indent, make trenches of the required depth and put the garlic directly into them.

planting depth

Garlic will sprout from a depth of 15 centimeters, but you do not need to plant it so deep. Look at the prepared clove and mentally add 5-7 centimeters from above. It turns out that the landing depth should not exceed 10 centimeters.

We take a clove in a pinch of the hand and press it not too hard into the loose soil by eye. When we remove our hand from the ground, the garlic should not be visible.

The hole must also be filled natural way. From above, it does not hurt to mulch the surface of the beds with humus. This layer will serve as both shelter and top dressing for the plant.

In the southern regions with short, slightly frosty winters, winter garlic is grown at shallower depths than in more northern ones.

To make or not to hide

This question is not at all for the southern latitudes of our country, but the Urals and Siberians, and gardeners middle lane he worries.

We have quite severe frosts in the Urals, however, garlic under the snow withstands them well. In the spring, when it is very humid, and even freezes at night, fears overtake that the garlic will not sprout. But they are, more often, groundless - a properly planted clove will overcome all obstacles.

If in doubt or if the winter is expected to be harsh, prepare a shelter. The simplest option is thin boards, someone prefers polyethylene.

Such a measure will also save you from cats, wild and domestic birds, which, even before snow, can pull your crops out of the ground. In the spring, we remove the shelter as early as possible.

Secrets of a good harvest of winter garlic

  • Fertilizers help strengthen the immunity of winter crops, it is better to survive the cold.
  • The distance between the garlic cloves (provided that you do not have a shortage of space) do more. In a row, place the cloves every 15-18 centimeters. Leave 18-20 cm between the rows. Thanks to this, all specimens will have enough sunlight and nutrition, the plantings will be ventilated, and your garlic will definitely grow large.
  • In the spring, as soon as the first shoots appear, feed the garlic with a solution of urea (urea), add superphosphate. Shoots will start growing faster, acquire resistance to possible illnesses and yellowing of the leaves.

Following the simple rules for sowing garlic before winter, including observing the depth of planting, will allow you to get your own crop of your favorite vegetable.

Against the background of a huge number of varieties of garden strawberries, the ampelous variety stands out. This strawberry with uncharacteristic pink, very decorative flowers is easily recognizable by both fruit-bearing mother plants and rosettes extending from them. After reviewing the care of her, having studied the rules of cultivation and looking at the photo, you can safely proceed to planting this unusual berry crop.

Features of ampelous strawberries

If an ordinary strawberry bears fruit once a season, a remontant two, then it can be said about an ampelous strawberry that it is able to bear fruit throughout the year.

Thanks to the work of breeders, ampelous strawberries grow before flower stalks are formed, flower buds are laid on them and, accordingly, an additional crop ripens. Further, the mustache itself continues to form the following. As a result, one bush can be continuously harvested.

In addition, this variety has excellent decorative qualities and can serve as a wonderful decoration for a balcony, veranda, etc.

Advice. For growing in a room, it is better to select varieties of neutral daylight hours that have a very long fruiting period.

In some sources, you can find it under the name "curly", but this is not entirely correct. By nature, strawberries cannot wrap themselves around anything. Some gardeners, for decorative purposes, simply tie a mustache with rosettes to a support. At the same time, it seems that the strawberry itself “climbs” up.

Ampel strawberry continuously yields

If you plant several bushes in a flowerpot or hanging pot, the rosettes will fall very beautifully from the mother plant, creating cascades of leaves, flowers and berries.

When considering the fruiting of ampelous varieties, it can be unequivocally stated that this is a remontant variety. On the bush at the same time you can see buds, flowers and berries. Thanks to this, in appropriate conditions, it is possible to observe flowering and pick berries almost all year round. Popular varieties:

  • Homemade delicacy;
  • Temptation;
  • Tarpan;
  • Elan;
  • Novel;
  • balcony stream;
  • Balcony charm.

Almost all of them are hybrids that are adapted to growing in any conditions, resistant to some diseases and give a decent harvest. I would especially like to note the Tuscany variety. Despite its recent appearance, it has already gained worldwide recognition. It differs in rich pink flowers and rather large fragrant berries.

Growing Options

If you show imagination and make very little effort, then bushes of ampelous strawberries can become a wonderful decoration for the site.

Ampel strawberries can be grown even in an apartment

  • Growing in pots and vases. In this case, any containers can be used for landing. For the normal development of the plant, their depth must be at least 30 cm. A mandatory requirement is holes for water drainage and a drainage layer. Seedlings intended for planting should be sprinkled with earth and kept for two weeks in a dark, cool place. Planting plants in a pot should not be too dense and not very deep.

Advice. A lush strawberry bush grown by hand in a hanging planter can be a wonderful gift for a novice gardener.

  • Grid growing. As a lattice, you can use a metal mesh, wicker fence, etc. Bushes are planted in the soil 30 cm apart. Growing mustaches are tied up along the lattice.

Advice. The height of the lattice should be selected no more than 1 m. So the plants will be able to completely cover it with fruit-bearing and flowering bushes at the same time.

  • Landing in the form of a pyramid. For such a landing, you will need 3-4 boxes 30 cm high, without a bottom, different sizes. The largest is placed on the ground in the garden and covered with fertile soil. A second, smaller one is placed on top and is also filled with earth. The smallest of them is placed on top. Soil is also poured into it. It turns out a cascade of boxes in which seedlings are planted. After growing, this structure looks like a green pyramid, covered with flowers and berries.
  • Vertical beds. This method is used for growing ampelous strawberries in greenhouses. They are made from wide plastic pipes(diameter about 110 cm). Holes are cut into them after a certain interval, into which, after filling the pipe nutrient soil seedlings are planted.

How to plant seedlings

Planting ampelous varieties does not differ much from planting other types of strawberries.

  1. The bottom of the pot or groove in the bed is lined with drainage material.
  2. From above it is covered with nutrient soil, consisting of soddy soil, humus, manure and peat.
  3. Well watered. After the soil settles, the earth is filled up.
  4. Landing holes are being made.
  5. One plant is distributed in each well.
  6. The roots are pressed with wet earth so that the core remains at the top.

Advice. In order for the seedlings to take root faster, it is advisable to dip each rhizome in a clay mash.

How to care

Planted seedlings need frequent moisture. It should be watered 2 times a day a little. After 2 weeks, watering is reduced - it will be enough 1 time in 3 days. The first flower stalks are removed. So the plant will give all its strength to the development of the root system, which will make the plant strong.

Strawberries need regular hydration

Mustaches on each bush should remain no more than 5 pcs. All excess is plucked off. Top dressing is carried out regularly with mineral fertilizers.

Ampelous strawberry transplantation must be carried out every 3-4 years. In the spring, the antennae are plucked from the strongest bushes and transplanted to a new bed or into a new container. In the case of a flower bed, you can completely replace the soil and plants.

For the winter, you can not leave containers with strawberries on the street. All of them need to be brought into a warm room. If this is not possible, the container is dug into the ground and covered with a covering material.

For beds protruding above ground level, special frames are constructed, the surface of which is covered with roofing material, lutrasil, etc., and then sprinkled with something insulating, for example, sawdust, straw or hay.

Greetings friends. Autumn has come, and it would seem that it is time to finish all the work with gardens and dachas. The crop is harvested, the preparations are made, what else do you need? But it turns out that rest is not so close. After all, it is in the autumn season that many vegetables, flowers and other vegetation require special care. For example, in order to get next year good harvest garlic, you should now prepare and plant it in the ground. Otherwise, you will not see this useful fruit in the summer.

Garlic protects the brain from aging, maintains a good memory and vigor, and has a great effect on the functioning of the immune and nervous systems of the body.

Therefore, today I suggest that you understand in detail when and how to properly plant garlic for the winter in autumn. open ground. We will also analyze the landing dates according to the lunar calendar and the rules of care.

I think it's no secret to anyone that there are two ways to grow garlic:

  • winter (planted in autumn, before winter);
  • spring (planted in early spring).

We will focus on the first method. Since the cultivation of winter garlic is not at all difficult, the main thing is to observe the planting dates.

If you plant garlic early in the fall, then it will have time to germinate and, accordingly, will die in the winter. If, on the contrary, it is too late, then the plant will not have time to take root and safely overwinter.

Plus, do not confuse winter and spring garlic. Their main difference is the landing time. Well, the following memo will help you if you are just a beginner gardener).


Of course, the choice of landing dates will depend not only on the lunar calendar, but also on the region and weather conditions. Experienced gardeners believe that garlic should be planted in the fall three weeks before the first frost.

When and how to plant garlic before winter in autumn 2018

First, I propose to take a look at the Lunar calendar and look at favorable dates.

So, if you are a resident of the northern regions of our country, then planting winter garlic should begin in September. At the same time, it is better if you do this on the waning Moon on the Days of the Root, that is, the Moon must pass through the fertile signs of the Zodiac.

Please note that landing during the full moon and the new moon period is not recommended.


But for most residents of Russia, garlic is still planted before winter in October. The lunar calendar recommends the following favorable dates: October 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 25, 26, 29, 30 October.

You should not work with this culture on the new moon - October 8, 9, 10 (the new moons in September and October coincided) and on the full moon - October 24.


Also, do not forget to focus on the planned landing depth:


And since we have decided on the planting dates, we move on to the next moment - how to properly plant this vegetable.

After which crop to plant garlic before winter

I will immediately answer many questions of interest: “After what can I plant garlic?”

It is desirable that tomatoes, legumes or cucumbers grow in the garden before garlic. Zucchini, pumpkin or early cabbage are also good predecessors.

But where potatoes or onions grew, it is better not to plant garlic. Also, do not arrange a landing site on the site where you applied manure this year. Otherwise, the plant will give abundant tops and loose heads, well, it will be susceptible to fungal diseases.

Now let's talk about choosing a bed for growing this vegetable.

How to choose a place for a garden bed and prepare it for winter garlic

Firstly, find on site the most fertile soil with normal or low acidity. Make a bed on the sunny side, while placing it from north to south.

Secondly, in advance prepare the ground. Starting from the end of August-beginning of September, it needs to be fertilized. So, for each square meter of area, add 10 kg of humus, 1 cup of chalk or 2 cups of ash, then add 2 tbsp. spoons of potassium sulfate and 1 tbsp. a spoonful of superphosphate. All this is evenly distributed over the soil, and then dig up the ground. In this case, the digging depth should be at least 20 cm.


After fulfilling the above conditions, proceed to the formation of beds.

It is desirable that the bed be up to 1 m wide and up to 25 cm high.


Then allow time for soil shrinkage. That is, just leave the bed alone so that the soil settles after digging. By the way, if September is not very rainy, then for better shrinkage, you can spill the prepared soil with water several times.

The next stage is tillage. This work is needed in order to prevent diseases of garlic. Treat the earth with a 1% solution of copper sulfate at the rate of 1 tbsp. spoon for 10 liters of water. Spill the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe garden with a watering can, and then cover it with a film.

But on the eve of planting garlic on the surface of the beds, you can scatter urea (10-20 grams per 1 sq. M) and pour water on the soil.

Preparing garlic for planting

  • Cloves (heads of garlic are divided into parts);
  • Seeds (bulbs).

It is easiest to get a good harvest from cloves. So let's take a look stages of preparation this planting material.

1.Take the head apart.

First, inspect the garlic and disassemble the heads into individual cloves. Of these, select the largest and healthiest.


If you are planting non-shooting garlic varieties, use only the outer tier cloves.

2. Disinfect your teeth.

To do this, soak the cloves for a day in a 0.1% solution of potassium permanganate or a 1% solution of copper sulfate.

That's all, garlic is ready for winter planting in open ground.

Planting winter garlic

And now it's time to disassemble the technology of planting vegetables in the fall.

1. Make holes.

On the prepared bed, mark the place for planting the cloves. Take a stick and make holes in the soil at a distance of 10 cm from each other. The depth should be from 3 to 15 cm (here it all depends on the method and time of planting).

The distance between the rows is 20-25 cm.


2. Bury the garlic cloves.

Just put the cloves in the holes. At the same time, it is not necessary to press them into the ground, because this will delay root formation.


3. Work the land.

Spill the earth with a pink solution of potassium permanganate.

4. Fill in the holes.

Cover the holes with rotted compost.


5. Mulch the garden.

For this procedure, use peat, coniferous needles or fallen leaves. The optimal layer of mulch is approximately 10 cm.

Please note that in warm regions it is not necessary to mulch winter garlic.

In fact, that's all the secrets of planting and caring for winter garlic! And by the way, do not forget that every two years the place of residence of a vegetable needs to be changed.

If you want to use the second material for planting - seeds or bulbs, then watch the following video plot. I'm sure you will succeed. 😉
