In the spring of each summer visitor, in love with his work, will not sleep, as freezing can descend until the beginning of June. Especially because the changeable weather in May is not just left the gardens under the snow. To protect their crops need to be ready at any moment.
How to save bushes
Before frost small shrubs I harbored lutrasilom and fruit trees, I am saving irrigation and watering. Faster freeze dry land, so the fruit trees shed at the top and at the root. Warm air rises to the top, and the cold goes down. The steam heats the plant. This method is effective when frost to minus five degrees. Smoke bombs help to two degrees below zero, and if even colder, then this method is useless.
To avoid freezing Rastishka in the greenhouse
Before frost I heat on the coals boulders that flank the flowerbed. During the day they decorate the site and in the greenhouse at night give off heat. For reliability upset the delicate seedlings harboring five-liter plastic bottles of mineral water in which the cut bottom. Each seedling is in his little teplichke.
Landing in the open ground
Heat-loving plants (cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers) planting in open ground only at the beginning of June. And if it happened before, then I put on the bed of the arc and close tightly covering materials. If the weather forecast very depressing, something extra sprinkles old blankets, bags, harboring all that I find in the barn. Courgettes, if seedlings have appeared, too, I cover with plastic bottles - these vegetables die at temperatures below zero. Not to mention the squash and pumpkins.
At the mercy of nature do not look. Therefore, before the frost, to save the plant, for their shelter in the course is everything from roofing caps, cardboard boxes, empty flower pots. It is a pity, if the frost negate all the work and efforts. The lowest temperatures are not at night, and at sunrise.
Flower shrubs
Peonies, hydrangeas, roses that are beginning to gain the buds, I'm saving hilling. Stalks spiked peat around under bushes hydrangea rolling in dust - these flowers like acidic soil. When I started my holiday's activities, I fell into despair over the fact that the freezing done. Now I'm even on national signs can predict all the consequences in advance and take action.
true signs
Frost will be obligatory when the cherry blossoms. This is verified by experience. Recent frosts strike up when oak dissolve kidney and leaves appear. This tree produces leaves later than their counterparts. This is usually in late May.
The fertile soil in which all the natural trace elements are balanced, less freeze. Plants planted in such soil, are more resistant and withstand freezing without shelter.
