On Tuesday, October 20, in the Suzdalsky recreation center of the Shuvalovo-Ozerki municipal union, a holiday summing up the results of the past summer season - "Gifts of Autumn - 2015" was once again held

Taking into account the difficult weather conditions of spring and summer, which led to a shortage of the harvest of some heat-loving crops, the organizers of the holiday - the management of the Suzdalsky Culture Center - decided to expand its program. In addition to the main competition for gifts of Nature, i.e. the exhibition of the best specimens of vegetables and fruits, as well as preparations from them, was also announced an exhibition of photographs reflecting summer cottage life in all its aspects.

The members of the clubs "Green Gift in Suzdal", "Smile" and "Louise", gathered for the holiday, came to the concert hall and laid out their competitive expositions on a long table. And it turned out that even unfavorable weather conditions, or rather, lack of heat and sun, did not prevent some gardeners from getting impressive harvests of vegetables - potatoes, various onions, garlic, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, Jerusalem artichoke, pumpkins, crooknek … And even corn! There were fruits and berries - apples, grapes, strawberries, sea buckthorn, jam and marshmallow.

In the middle of the table, there is a composition consisting of a beautiful bush of hot pepper, which was dotted with numerous red peppers, and dogwood branches, also dotted with scarlet fruits. The composition was supplemented with the last of this year's fresh cucumbers, picked three days before the holiday, soaked Chinese apples, a coffee tree and a bottle, in which the vitamin berries were originally laid. It was created by Galina Ivanovna Fomicheva.

The most impressive composition was that of the author of our magazine L. V. Rybkina. She even came up with a name for it: "Some samples of import substitution with their products and harvesting from it." These samples were represented by large potatoes, leeks, white, red and common onions, large peppers, tomatoes, garlic, eggplants, radishes; there was also a photograph of a ripe artichoke bud, which Lyudmila Vasilyevna grew and grew for the first time this season. Melons ripened in her beds, the cultivation of which she mastered several years ago. One melon complemented the composition, as well as preparations for the winter - eggplant and beetroot salad.

And, of course, Lyudmila Vasilievna presented there a bottle of semi-dry apple wine of her own production. Everyone who has ever tasted this wine or her other drinks gave them the highest marks. She is a true master winemaker. She disclosed her experience and technologies for obtaining dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet wine and tinctures from the juice of berries and apples on the pages of the magazine "Flora Price" №№ 6 (182), 7 (183) in the article "You can't get drunk with your own wine …". Anyone can get acquainted with it on our website. And it is no coincidence that the jury, which this time was headed by a student of the famous L. N. Klimtseva - Lyudmila Nikolaevna Golubkova - recognized L. V. Rybkin the winner of the "Gifts of Nature" competition. It should be added that all the gardeners on that day remembered Louisa Nilovna, who died in June, with the kindest words. “She is with us,” they said.

The chairman of the jury L. N. Golubkova, as well as a year ago, presented for the competition a magnificent collection of onions harvest - the Elephant F1 leek, the Exibishen F1 onion grown from seeds, and the onion grown under the winter sevka planting. The composition was complemented by arrow garlic and huge apples.

Then the jury summed up the results of the photo competition. And again L. V. Rybkin.
