What work does a gardener expect in his own nursery in October?
OCTOBER IN THE SEEDLING NURSERY
Dig up and plant the rootstocks.
Put those intended for winter grafting in boxes for temporary storage. Dig up layers of chokeberry, gooseberry, currant, honeysuckle, lemongrass offspring. Plant or sell standard ones, grow under-catch first.
Dig up and store root cuttings.
Prepare the ridges and sow seeds of apple, pear, sea buckthorn, hazel, chokeberry, felt cherry, chaenomeles, barberry, dove, bird cherry before winter. After sowing, mulch the soil with peat or humus, taking into account the size of the seeds and the depth of sowing.
You can not sow seeds before winter, but lay them for stratification. That is, keep in a refrigerator in wet sand for 3 months at a low above zero temperature. Seeds planted in spring do not germinate without stratification. Seeds of different breeds require different minimum stratification times: apple trees - 80-90 days, pears - 90-100, cherry plums and plums - 120-180, cherries - 150-180, apricots - 80-100, peaches - 100-120, walnuts - 60-80 days, cherries -100-120 days.
Fertilize and dig up the soil for the spring planting.
Plant and mulch woody blackcurrant cuttings.
At the end of the month, lay the seeds of cherry plum, cherry, plum, sweet cherry on the stratification, mixing them with a moistened substrate (sand, sawdust, vermiculite, moss).

The last phosphorus-potassium dressing for ornamental shrubs of perennials is given in September-early October, and in warm weather.
It is convenient at this time to apply any long-acting complex fertilizer: in the near-stem circle of each bush, 1 tbsp. l. - in two or three holes 5-7 cm deep, made, for example, with a single-tooth ripper.
