Here is August … I would be sad that summer is coming to an end, so there is no time – time to reap the benefits, in the most literal sense. Zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, plums, apricots, peaches, apples and the company ripen at the same time and require urgent processing of the crop. But the battle for him is not over – in the beds and in the garden there are a lot of plants that need to be watered, weeded, protected from diseases and pests. In addition, it is time to think about the harvest of the next season, because most of the fruit trees and shrubs at this time lay fruit buds of the next year. In general, work in the garden and vegetable garden in August is no less than in the sowing season. By the way, it is possible and even necessary to sow something in August. What kind of garden work is best to devote every day of the last summer month in the country, our lunar calendar of a gardener and gardener for August 2020 will tell.

Except for the time spent on harvesting and processing the crop, then, perhaps, most of the time in August for each summer resident is taken up by the fight against diseases and pests. Phytophthora alone is worth something!
At the same time, at the end of summer, it is important not only to solve existing problems, but also to take care of prevention so that history does not repeat itself next year. True, most likely, it will still happen again, but maybe, at least not on a catastrophic scale. There are not so many good days in August, according to the lunar calendar, for fighting diseases and pests. But in this matter, delay can have very negative consequences, so here’s how it goes.
But sowing and planting is better, of course, on favorable days according to the lunar calendar for August 2020. So, for example, garden strawberries will like it if you plant its mustache on 1, 13, 14, 22-25, 27-29 August. Salads will increase their chances of pleasing the harvest if they are sown on August 5-7, 20-27, as well as spinach and sorrel.
And in August, it would be good to pinch the tops of fruit bushes for a better harvest next year. The lunar calendar advises to do this on 7-9, 17-19 and 25 numbers.
