Drought, which often occurs in August and September, may have the greatest impact on yield reduction.Therefore, it is important to systematically water cruciferous and root vegetables every 7-10 days with a dose of 20 millimeters of water (equivalent to 20 liters of water per 1 m²).
Brassica and late leeks can be fertilized with nitrogen for the last time - this treatment is performed by mid-August at the latestToo late supply with nitrogen affects the taste qualities of cabbage intended for pickling and reduces the winter hardiness of species , e.g.Brussels sprouts, kale or leek.The peppers and tomatoes should be topped up by mid-August to accelerate the ripening of the fruit remaining on the plant.
Plants left without pruning continue to bloom and form leaves, but these flowers will not produce well-formed fruit, and further growth delays the maturation of the produced fruit.You should also gradually remove the emerging inflorescence shoots of chives, seven-year-olds, rhubarb and sorrel.
To obtain a delicate snow-white thickening of the fennel, slightly resembling an onion, it is good to mound the vegetable.Similarly, in the case of a seven-year-old onion, grown as an annual plant, sprinkling the pseudo-stem contributes to obtaining a longer onion.
