Useful tips for summer residents

marigolds belong to flowers that can be sown in autumn. To be more precise, during the winter. In this way, you can save spring time for flower work. Sowing from autumn has the advantage of early flowering. In spring, marigolds will begin to germinate at least 2-3 weeks earlier than spring ones.

Work with flowers should be done in November, when the weather is not so warm and sunny. Ideally, there should be the first frosts. This will contribute to the preservation of seeds until autumn. If you do this earlier, there is a risk of sprouting, which frost can damage.

Prepare the flower bed so that the soil is loosened. Apply 3 kg of compost per 1 sq.m. You can add ashes. Make furrows, sow flowers and sprinkle with soil. If there is snow, sprinkle it on the flower bed. If not, then mulching should be done.
