This is the requirement
If you decide to grow a radish, you have to consider its "weaknesses".
The main one is that he has an underdeveloped root system... In this regard, it is necessary to strictly monitor soil moisture, especially when forming root crops. It is necessary to water the radishes in two to three days, and in dry hot weather - every day, at the rate of 5-8 liters of water per square meter.
Let's add lime
If the soil on the site is acidic, and it is necessary to plant crops on it that do not like such acidity, you can add slaked lime - no more than a quarter of the required amount. This should be done two weeks before sowing or planting.
The rest of the lime will need to be applied in the fall.
Feed
At the very beginning of the growing season, it is advisable to feed sorrel and onion with urea (5-6 g per square meter). Rhubarb, along with this fertilizer, is embedded in soil and humus. They also mulch the garden around the plants.
We are in no hurry

Immediately after flowering, they should be sprayed with a solution. baking soda (50 g soda and 50 g laundry soap on a bucket of water) or mullein infusion (part of manure, three parts of water, stand for three days, then dilute with three parts of water and strain).
And then this treatment must be repeated two or three more times with an interval of a week and a half.
Will be early
Sowing cucumbers in a film greenhouse, find a place there for a couple of long bushes chinese cucumbers... They are picky and bear fruit from spring to autumn - only manage to pick the greens in time.
Will become bitter
Do not plant carrots near an apple tree, and melons next to cucumbers - all the fruits will taste bitter. It is better to grow melon next to radishes, and carrots interspersed with onions or garlic. You can mix oat root with it when sowing.
Cruciferous fleas
These insects damage young leaves of radish, lettuce, spinach, beets, cabbage. To protect plants from cruciferous flea, it is necessary, firstly, to weed the beds from the weed in time - the pest multiplies and feeds on it. And secondly, you need to sprinkle young leaves with ash or a mixture of ash and shredded tobacco (1: 1). This processing is carried out twice.
Water on time
Outdoor vegetables are best watered in the afternoon to avoid excess moisture loss through evaporation.
In foil and glazed greenhouses, watering should be carried out in the morning and avoid watering in evening time, so as not to create excess moisture and the formation of water droplets at night on plants, which is especially dangerous for crops at low night temperatures.

Potatoes are grown in most of the territory of our country, not only because one cannot live without this vegetable, as much as out of habit, which they have inherited from their ancestors! The peculiarities of the cultivation of this crop are directly related to the peculiarities of the climate prevailing in a particular zone, from the variety that grows most successfully in these places, and, of course, from caring for the plant!
Along with this, gardeners piously believe in the traditions of their ancestors and try to plant and process potato seedlings strictly on favorable days for such matters! If we turn to superstition, then we can find out that it is best to plant such a root crop as potatoes at a time when the satellite of the Earth - the Moon enters the sign of Capricorn! Well, how can you find out, you ask ?!
Experienced summer residents, and those who have someone to tell you, are well guided by folk signs and Orthodox church holidays, remembering this or that feature on a specific day, further comparing it with the planting of fertile crops, including potatoes. However, the simpler people are guided by the "calendars of the summer resident", the "lunar calendars of the gardener", which are kindly compiled especially for us by experts who understand this matter!
Auspicious days in April 2016 for planting potatoes
For 2016, a lot of work and research has already been carried out about which days will be the most favorable for planting potatoes in the month of April. Professionals have studied the features in detail leap year, every April day and tell us the following about this: planting potatoes should be done only on the 1st, 27th and 28th. The rest of the days of April in 2016 are less favorable for such undertakings.
If weather will be supportive to you these days, and it will be possible to plant potatoes in open ground on these dates, then you can be absolutely sure that your planting will be less susceptible to disease and pest attack. As for the tubers themselves, they will be formed in a timely manner, correctly, giving a full-fledged rich harvest, which will last until next summer without problems!
If for some reason you did not have time to plant potatoes in April, then try to plant them on auspicious May days, which fall on the 6th, 24th and 25th this year! The harvest will also be excellent, despite the fact that you will be slightly late with planting! However, do not worry about this, a week back and forth will not give anything, the main thing is that the date is suitable!
What happens if you plant potatoes on an unfavorable day?
It just so happened that 2016 is a leap year. This is the year that does not promise to be fertile and successful for the growth of most crops and potatoes are no exception! Therefore, if, nevertheless, there are no obstacles for this, then planting is best done only on favorable days.
If you did not manage to use auspicious date, you need to organize proper care for seedlings, fertilize in a timely manner and perhaps even water the potato bushes. The harvest, perhaps, will not please you as much as you would like, but the year will certainly not be "hungry" for potatoes!
