For preparation and drying, we used, in addition to nasturtium, many other plants. Flowers, leaves, roots, for example, herbs and dill flowers and their seeds for cooking were used; flowers and leaves of curly and common parsley, as well as their root; horseradish flowers and its root; tarragon leaves ( tarragon ); parsnip flowers, leaves and root; walnut leaves; cherry leaves, mint, lemon balm; leaves and arrows ( young ) garlic and heads of garlic
I'll tell you about growing seedlings in "diapers". V.N. For many years Kovaleva has been using "diapers" to produce seedlings of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and cabbage. We take a rectangle made of polyethylene, 8-10 cm wide, 12-15 cm long
Spring has come. And the time has already approached when sowing and planting work in the vegetable garden and in the garden will begin. On the eve of these long-awaited events, I want to invite gardeners and summer residents to do arithmetic again and determine for themselves: how many beds you want to allocate for a particular crop, and based on the total area for a particular crop, decide whether you have enough seeds of those crops that you decided to grow this year
In the spring, every gardener counts the days until the first greens and the first vegetables appear. Every first leaf of onion or dill seems insanely tasty, aromatic, and there is no need to talk about the usefulness of greens and vegetables grown by our own hands
Peppers belong to the genus Capsicum, a family of nightshades with over 2000 species, including potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants. Of the species belonging to the genus of peppers, only one is used in a wide culture, represented by sweet and hot peppers
If you pick up several varieties, or better - parthenocarpic hybrids of cucumbers, and, by combining seedling and non-seedling methods, you can organize a continuous and long-term conveyor for the production of this valuable vegetable
The quality of the seedlings, and subsequently the yield obtained, largely depends on how freely the plants were located and how much soil was occupied by their root system. The need for living space for seedlings is different and directly depends on its age. Therefore, to save living space, it is reasonable to first sow the plants in small containers together with each other, and then plant them in a separate container
Eggplant is highly susceptible to all kinds of rot. Moreover, decaying areas can occur both on the trunk (as a result, a single shoot or even the whole plant dies), and on the leaves or on the root collar
The timing of sowing tomato seeds for seedlings and planting them in the ground, preparing tomato seeds for sowing and soil for seedlings, growing tomato seedlings in an apartment, feeding tomatoes. By Luiza Nilovna Klimtseva
White cabbage is a cold-resistant plant. She loves light, and her shading causes the stem to stretch. And the high demand for moisture is explained by the presence of large leaves with a large evaporating surface
A special place among wild-growing food and ornamental plants is occupied by the scythe (Allium obliguum L.), which is also called vinegar or mountain garlic. In natural flora, it grows in the mountains of Central Asia
For the second year I have been growing cucumbers in the open field. This method is good for gardeners who do not have tall greenhouses. The main condition for success is choosing the right variety for local conditions and adherence to technology
With this simple strategy for a short gardening season, you can grow fresh vegetables from early spring to late fall. Fortunately, there are some simple techniques for lengthening the growing season. They allow you to start using vegetables and seasonings in early spring and harvest until the colder days in the fall
Today, there are many colorful bags of eggplant seeds on the shelves. Someone needs earlier ones, someone more resistant to external influences, and someone will stop at the most productive
Until recently, no one would have thought of trying to grow eggplants on our unkind land. But now new varieties and hybrids, new technologies have appeared, and these exotic fruits in our gardens have become a reality
First steps, first mistakes In fact, everything turned out to be not as simple as we drew in our dreams. Now we have already formed our own idea about the land, about the cultivation of cultivated plants on it, about the work of a person not only on the ground, but in any sphere. Before taking any step, he must clearly understand what purpose he pursues when buying a plot, a dog, a cat. At the same time, a person should not only follow fashion trends. Buying land or pets is serious business
Everyone is interested to know what awaits us tomorrow: in summer - rain or hot dry weather, in winter - thaw or severe frost? Being on our personal plot, we do not always manage to find out the weather forecast in order to rationally plan tomorrow
Spring is getting closer and closer, a good half of Russians are already preparing for the sacred ritual of growing seedlings. Everyone remembered with renewed vigor about seeds, soil and seedling containers. Soon they will start sowing, followed by picking, replanting plants, and regularly watering them
This perennial onion is widespread, especially in northern and central Russia. It has several more names: fist, Tatar, winter, sand. Its leaves, like onions, are hollow, tubular
Gardeners and gardeners, evaluating this year's harvest, draw conclusions: some varieties will be useful in the future, others will have to be replaced. I think that the information below on the assortment of seeds for the next season will not be superfluous. Many gardeners have already “enriched themselves” by buying seeds in packages “without address”. We remind you: a company respecting you and yourself on a package with seeds ( even on a plain, white ) puts down all the mark
Red eggplants came to China from Africa many centuries ago. They had thorny leaves and almost inedible fruits. Through centuries of selection, this subspecies in the hands of Chinese peasants has become a real exclusive
Melon is thermophilic, as well as light- and moisture-loving. We chose, of course, the earliest ripening varieties, because our summer is short, cannot be compared with the Central Asian one. They stopped their choice on three varieties: Kolkhoznitsa, Altai and Jumbo
In connection with the noticeable warming of the climate, especially over the past 5-6 years, relatively "new" weeds, previously not characterized by high harmfulness to our region, have begun to conquer "living space".The summer heat of 2003 was particularly favorable for them, and the weather conditions of cool May and part of June 2004, when they were able to develop their root system and "clog" other weeds and crops with their growth, were probably op
All Saints' Eve is one of the oldest and most revered holidays in the world. It occurs every year on the same day - October 31
We, lovers of spicy food, willingly buy jars of horseradish in the store. At the same time, we don't even know that often these products are made from katran
The multi-tiered onion (Allium proliferum Moench Schrad. Ex Willd) is a perennial plant of the Liliaceae family. He came to Russia under the name Egyptian Horned Bow. Annual and perennial crops of this species are possible
They took ordinary soil for seedlings, for flowers, added coconut substrate to it and filled cups from sour cream. On April 29th we had 12 cups of seedlings
There are ones that are not propagated by seeds, but annually small bulbs (samples) are taken from the crop, and then a large bulb is obtained from them. These include ancient local bows of the northern part of the Non-Black Earth Zone
Usually it was previously recommended to plant onions from small sets before winter. I won't say that my results were very good - a lot of the bow went to the arrow. And the reason is that, in fact, there were no varieties that are completely resistant to this scourge
In October, the primary concern of gardeners and gardeners is the end of harvesting and laying it for long-term storage in processed or fresh form. This is the time of preparation of perennial crops for the upcoming wintering, so each of us has the task of carrying out all the work in a timely manner: to help the plants overcome the cold season so that they will please us with a good harvest next year
Some gardeners allocate a separate bed for dill, others use its self-seeding. The most common sowing with three bands: two adjacent rows in a band. Distance between rows 5-8 cm, between belts 25-27 cm
Seedling lengthens the growing season by 1-1.5 months and makes it possible to grow turnip onions of late varieties in one year in the north of Russia. For this, southern semi-sweet and sweet high-yielding varieties are used
I am convinced that the arrangement of "high beds" in low areas is a guarantee of obtaining high-quality yields of vegetables and berries, it allows you to collect more high-quality organic materials for the production of compost - the basis of fertility in organic farming. In addition, such beds improve the design of the site
Buy three or four potatoes, place two in the dark, and two in the light. After three weeks, the first pair will have long shoots with green dots. Cut the shoots between these green dots and plant them in the ground
Last summer I was visiting the Kuban. And I saw at the local villagers some kind of a small greenhouse, arranged right in the ground.I measured this little house, asked its owners and made sure of its effectiveness. Therefore, now I offer it to you
It is better to use first-class seeds for sowing, since their field germination is very low. They have a dense, poorly permeable shell, therefore, to accelerate germination, they are soaked before sowing for 14-24 hours
In nature, first of all, you want to nip something green … and the beds are not very encouraging: apart from traditional onions and radishes, there is little to eat. And all from our laziness and inertia: today the market offers a lot of options for seeds of green and other crops for the beginning of summer - and then until autumn
We cultivate various types of cabbage: white and red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, Savoy, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, collard, Chinese, Peking. Despite belonging to the same family and similar preferences, they have their own characteristics
The main concerns of gardeners and gardeners this month are devoted to the harvesting of the crop grown on the personal plot and laying it for long-term storage in processed or fresh form. In addition, in September, perennial plants begin to prepare for wintering and they need help in this so that they can then survive the cold season
The most important thing is the correct choice of the variety. Watermelon, by its nature, is an extremely heat-loving culture. Therefore, it remains for us to choose only early maturing varieties that are relatively resistant to low temperatures
