* Work calendar:
March.
Seeds are sown in greenhouses or boxes in the room.
April - May.
As the snow melts, dry leaves and stems are removed, trying not to damage the young spring leaves. If in early spring young plants with roots end up on the soil surface as a result of frost bulging, they are carefully buried, trying not to break off the roots. Plantings are fed with complete mineral fertilizer or organic matter. After the ground has warmed up sufficiently, the seeds are sown in the ground.
June - July.
After flowering stems have faded and lost their decorative properties, they are cut off, leaving only a rosette of leaves. Cutting parts of plants can be composted, but if they are diseased, they should be burned. Some of the most interesting plants can be left uncut and left for seeds. At the same time, to prevent unwanted shedding of seeds and self-sowing, the fruits must be isolated by placing gauze bags on them.
August.
Collect fruits with ripened seeds. They can be sown in boxes immediately after harvest or later.
September - October.
Divide the bushes while planting them. During transplantation, diseased plants are identified and should be burned. At the same time, the autumn planting of seedlings of the current year, pruned in the spring, is carried out. Mulch the bases of the bushes with humus or compost.
