In August, we continue to harvest fruit from fruit trees. The harvest of summer varieties of apples and pears is carried out several days before full maturity for consumption.

Pick the plums intended for direct consumption with the stalks for baskets or baskets after they are ripe for consumption.. We can collect fruit intended for processing without stalks.
At the end of August, we start harvesting early grapevines. In order to ensure even maturation of the whole bunches, it is advisable to remove the leaves shading the bunches in the first decade of this month. We do it gradually, tearing only part of the leaves first, and the rest after a while. This will prevent the skin from forming too thick.
In August, we inoculate rootstocks planted out in autumn or early spring in order to obtain new trees.
In the decorative part, we carefully care for perennial beds, by weeding them and top dressing them with multi-component mixtures, in dose 20-30 g/m². We remove faded inflorescences, preventing seed setting. Early pruning of perennials has a very positive effect on the further growth and development of plants.
