What to do in March at the dacha?
According to the calendar, in the first month of spring, not only do gardeners prepare seeds for sowing and grow seedlings, they also prepare greenhouses and greenhouses, and work begins in the garden. In many regions of Russia there is still snow, in some regions spring is coming into its own, so gardeners are starting to prune fruit trees, as sap flow will soon begin.
When using the calendar, you need to remember that it is recommended to start pruning work when outside temperature during the day it will be at least +5 °C, at night the temperature will not fall below -10 °C. Pruning is carried out not only for sanitary purposes, removing diseased, dry branches, but also to form the crown of trees, which is thinned out, removing shoots that grow inward and thicken. The trunks are inspected, any cracks in the bark are cleaned and treated with garden varnish.
Dacha plots located in lowlands require the preparation of drainage ditches through which excess melt water can drain freely. Excess snow should be raked between the rows of fruit trees and taken out of the garden so that water does not stagnate when the snow covers melt. It is a known fact that a large amount of moisture in the ground during long period over time can lead to rotting of the root collar, roots of fruit trees and shrubs.
In March, frosts at night are not excluded, sharp warming and above-zero temperatures during the day; many gardeners whitewash plants with lime with the addition of copper sulfate to avoid burns on the trunks.
If the month is damp, treat the growing fruit trees and bushes fungicidal preparations against the appearance and spread of putrefactive and fungal infections. For example, caring for gooseberries in the spring can be done without using chemicals, it is enough to properly treat the bushes with boiling water to kill the bud mite.

In March, a gardener has a lot to do. Winter is leaving, and step by step we are reclaiming space from it: we warm up the beds, set up a nursery on the windowsill, lay out potatoes and dahlias for germination. This is the period of sowing seeds for growing seedlings in the house and the beginning of a new season in the garden.
Work in the garden according to the gardener's lunar calendar in March 2017
In March, you can prune berry bushes and fruit trees if you did not have time to do this in the fall. The work must be completed before the sap flows and the buds begin to swell. After trimming the wound, be sure to lubricate it with “Rannet” or garden varnish, you can use oil paint. This procedure can be combined with the preparation of cuttings for spring grafting of fruit crops.
Strip tree trunks and large branches of dead bark. Disinfect and treat winter damage with garden varnish: frost holes, cracks, rot, rodent damage. To protect against sunburn Apply garden whitewash if you did not have time to whitewash the trees in the fall or the whitewash was washed away during the winter. You can wrap the lower part of the barrel with white non-woven material.
When the sun is very hot and the ground is still frozen, there is a risk of conifers, boxwoods, and rhododendrons burning. Rake mulch and litter from the tree trunks, water the plants warm water in several stages until the water melts the soil and is easily absorbed. To protect coniferous plants from sunburn, wrap them in burlap, leaving air vents.
When warm, sunny weather sets in, ventilate heat-loving plants under shelters: roses, grapes, hydrangeas, clematis, tree peonies.
In late winter or early spring, fill the greenhouse with snow. This will help create a supply of useful snow moisture before planting, activate beneficial soil microflora, and restore the balance of temperature and air humidity. Before planting the plants, the greenhouse must be thoroughly washed inside and out.
In garden beds, do not wait for the snow to melt before stretching the film over greenhouses, tunnel shelters and warm ridges. Regardless of the weather, it is better to arrive before the end of March. Under the film, the snow will melt and the earth will warm up faster - this will give you the opportunity to sow cabbage, lettuce, radish, arugula on prepared beds in April and get early harvest green crops: radishes, dill, lettuce, Chinese cabbage.
