In Llaberia Hydraulic Shop when we think of October we think of pumpkins, chestnuts and being with the blanket on the couch. That’s why, as October approaches, we want to give you some tips on what to plant in October and how to do it. Ready?
In October we have several cycle ends. Tomatoes and zucchini will already be bearing their last fruits, so make the most of every last one.
October is characterized by the arrival of cold weather. That is why we must prepare our crops for winter cultivation.
The first thing we should do is to redistribute our terrace crops to protect them from frost.

Chard
This food can be grown all year round. We must have a fresh, deep and above all fertile soil. It will take about 2 months to be harvested. Of course, do not forget to water regularly at the beginning and space these irrigations over time.
Calçots
Perhaps, the most typical thing to plant at this time of the year, are the Calçots, which are characterized by gatherings with friends and family enjoying this product. If the next meeting you want to bring your own homegrown calçots and be able to brag about it, we recommend keeping a separation of 25cm between each other. With a spaced irrigation and practically scarce.
Do not forget that as they grow you will have to cover them with soil. You will be able to harvest your crop after 4-5 months.
Onions

Watering is similar to chard, regular at first and gradually spaced.
You will be able to harvest your onions in 3-4 months. The tip we give you here is to let them dry on the ground for a few days. You will let us know the difference. 😊
