What varieties of fruit trees to plant on the site. DIY garden: what seedlings to buy, what trees to get rid of. Distance between plants
“For this hell, for this nonsense, send me a garden for my old age.” But in order to meet old age in a beautiful orchard, you need to plant it now. In this article, we will tell you which trees to plant on the site, how to place them correctly and how FORUMHOUSE participants do it.
- At what distance to plant fruit trees and shrubs.
- Where to plant non-self-pollinated plants.
- How fruit crops depend on the sun and wind.
- On what slopes to plant fruit trees.
Distance between plants
According to science, an orchard is set up in a place protected from the wind and well lit by the sun, ideally if the plants are spacious.
Large-sized apple trees are planted at a distance of 6-15 meters from each other, standard cherries and plums - 1.5-3 meters.
In this photo, the distance between the trees is 5 meters.
To properly position garden plantings, it is necessary to observe the distance not only between plants, but also between plants and the neighboring plot. For trees in an orchard, it is usually half the row spacing. If the row spacing is six meters, then the distance to the border with the neighboring plot is three meters. Fruit bushes are allowed to be planted at a distance of 70-80 cm. In order not to make a mistake with planting, it is better to first draw a garden plan.
But in reality, there are not so many huge plots with unlimited resources for planting large-sized apple trees, so no one can withstand a distance of 15 meters between each tree. In practice, it turns out that successful cultivation adhere to this condition when disembarking planting material and optional.

In practice, it is necessary to plant 5 m apart, if you estimate that each will have a crown measuring 2.5 meters in diameter. But whether your specific garden plots allow you to arrange the plants in this way is another question.
Landing fruit trees and shrubs in the garden on your site, you can refer to our table.

Tall pears and apple trees on a seed rootstock are planted according to the 5x5 scheme (at a distance of at least 5 meters in a row and 5-6 between rows), medium-sized apple trees according to the 4X4 scheme, semi-dwarfs according to the 3X3 scheme.
Raspberries can be divided into two parts, leaving between them a fence no more than a meter wide: in one, plant ordinary varieties, in the other - remontant. They're in different time bear fruit, and their agricultural techniques are different.
It will be optimal to plant trees and shrubs in the garden in a checkerboard pattern, especially if you are setting up a garden in the “roadside” part of the garden and want to hide the house or recreation area from the views of neighbors. By the way, green spaces reduce the noise level, this property must be used.
Andrey Vasiliev, consultant of the "Orchard" section of FORUMHOUSE, is planting plums and bush cherries on the site at a distance of three meters between the trees. Currant and gooseberry bushes - at a distance of 1-1.5 meters from one another, a meter is not enough.
Andrey Vasiliev Consultant of the "Orchard" section on FORUMHOUSE
You can also plant between the trees, while they grow, the berry bearer is already bearing fruit, and it will not be difficult to transfer (chopping off a part from the bush in the fall) if the variety is already very good.
The consultant of our portal recommends planting raspberries "separately, but not in the shade." And when planting honeysuckle, he advises not to forget that her bushes grow quite large - two meters in diameter and the same height, and place them on the site, taking into account these sizes.
Another important point that must be considered when planting fruit plants in the garden is whether they are self-pollinated or not. If not, it is necessary to add to the planting plan and be sure to plant a plant of a different variety nearby.

We plant a self-pollinated cherry with the name Y and next to it the same one with the name Z. If the Y cherry is alone next to the pears, there will be no berries.

It is better to plant fruit trees in the form of a “tree-garden”, when there are several mutually pollinated varieties on one stem.
And single-varietal breeds are best grouped by breed so that there is the possibility of cross-pollination.
Sun, wind and shadow
Shading for fruit trees is undesirable; on the site they should be maximally illuminated by the sun from morning to evening. If a gardener still has to plant a tree in partial shade, let it be a pear. A pear is the tallest fruit plant, there are practically no pears on a dwarf rootstock, therefore, no matter how much attention you pay to it, no matter how you cut it, it will grow 5-6 meters high. Therefore, it is not scary if a pear is planted next to a bathhouse, another outbuilding, and for half a day it turns out to be its shadow. In five or six years, this large tree will grow taller than the tallest building on the plot.
Fruit trees on the site are covered from the prevailing winter winds (building, fence, etc.). It’s easy to determine which direction of the wind will dominate in winter - see which side of the house has less snow (sometimes it sweeps literally to the ground). If there is little snow from the east side, then the wind in winter blows mainly from the west, and so on.
Andrey Vasiliev
All tall - to the north, all the most tender - in best places under cover from the prevailing winds in winter.
It is better to plant a plum exactly where all the snow is blown out by strong winds. The plum has a tendency to decay and does not tolerate places where snow accumulates; where even a small snowdrift sweeps, a little more than 40 cm, the plum will not grow.
ground water
Fruit trees do not grow well in areas with close groundwater. For apple and pear trees successful growth and development needs a plot with a level of occurrence ground water two meters, and better further. In summer cottages with close groundwater, these trees with large roots do not grow for more than 10 years and do not have time to form big crown. Therefore, if there is no other way out, they can be planted close to each other (2 meters) and renewed in turn every 10 years. There is no other way to grow normal trees and get good enough fruit yields from them.
In stone fruits, the root systems do not go as deep into the depths, so they can be planted on suburban areas where groundwater is at a depth of 1.5 m and further; in berry crops, the depth may be less.
Relief and landscape planning
The best for gardens are considered to be with a steepness of less than 8 °. In most regions, the southern, southwestern and southeastern slopes are considered the best for gardening, they always have more sun and higher air and soil temperatures. But this advantage can also turn into a disadvantage: it is warmer in such areas, so in spring the plants bloom on them earlier, often in the midst of spring frosts. For this reason, fruit crops should not be planted on the eastern slopes of the summer cottage: after a frost that catches flowering plants, on the eastern slope they thaw too quickly.
Experts advise planting gardens in the middle part of the slope, because the winds are always blowing upstairs and there is not enough moisture, while downstairs, on the contrary, it is too wet and cold. In pits and hollows, where fog flows in the morning, gardens do not need to be laid out. The cold air that stagnates in them is harmful to plants, these places are especially dangerous during frosts.
Try to perceive the "comfort" of the garden not as if the trees were planted in the garden 5-10 years ago, and the garden can already be called a garden.
Trees for landscaping Light green coniferous larches are the best suited for landscaping garden plot. They grow quite quickly, but are very photophilous and have an extensive root system. Therefore, they need to be no closer than 8 m to buildings. From larches, alleys, windbreaks are usually created, or they are planted singly. These trees are not demanding on the soil, but do not like flooding with groundwater. If there is a reservoir on the site, then Russian willow is suitable for decorating it. Usually it is a leaning tree with weeping branches and green leaves. In the first years, the willow grows very quickly, but it never grows tall. A beautiful ornamental tree is the holly maple. It is shade tolerant and resistant to winter cold. The seedling quickly grows and grows stronger. Rarely affected by pests. Prickly low hawthorns will decorate country cottage area caps of white flowers, and then bright fruits: red, yellowish brown or black. From hawthorn create impenetrable hedges. Fruit trees Apple trees are planted mainly in autumn. During the autumn-winter period, the roots have time to get stronger after planting and in the spring to supply the young seedling with nutrients. The landing site must be prepared in advance. For a half-meter tree, the pit should be at least 70 cm deep and about the same diameter. Fill it with a mixture of fertile topsoil, humus and compost. Add two handfuls of mineral fertilizers. Mix with a spade and compact. The pit should be filled to the top so that after two or three years, when the soil settles, the apple tree does not end up in the hole. Then it will be less frost-resistant and its productivity will decrease. When the hole is prepared, make a hole in it according to the size of the root system of the tree and plant it. Water, then compact the soil. Dig in three pegs and tie a young one to them. Among gardeners most widespread received varieties of domestic plum, Chinese plum and. The bulk of the root system of these trees is on the surface and is located under the crown. To ensure normal care, it is enough to regularly loosen the ground and cut the crown. Plum loves moisture, but does not tolerate stagnant water. Fruits on the tree appear 3-4 years after planting. And then for almost a decade the tree will delight you with large harvests. For planting a pear, you need to choose a well-lit place. She does not like drought, but the tree has powerful roots that can penetrate deep into the soil. Therefore, you need to water the pear only in a very dry period. The tree needs correct pruning branches. It is necessary that each branch receive a sufficient amount sunlight Otherwise, it will not bloom and bear fruit.
Trees are essential element landscape design. They give a special beauty and aesthetics to the landscape. ornamental trees with openwork crown. Among their many varieties, you will certainly find good options for landscaping your property.
Advantages of trees with an openwork crown
The openwork crown refers to trees with rare branching, loose foliage and needles. They have leaves of the original form, giving light air texture. Usually, such crowns do not have a clear outline and let in a lot of sunlight, thereby creating a play of light and shadow. Decorative trees with an openwork crown do not cover buildings and small architectural forms, but on the contrary - emphasize their beauty.
Ornamental trees with an openwork crown create truly magical landscape views. Thanks to the original shape of the crown, they create interesting accents in landscape design site.
During flowering, such trees become central figures in the garden. The openwork crown has dissected, simple, feathery or lobed foliage that creates a light, airy texture.
The crown of such trees is missing Sun rays, creates a beautiful lacy shadow pattern.
An overview of the most popular trees with an openwork crown
A very elegant crown of willow and European olive. Visually, it creates an airy smoky curtain, and the foliage of these trees has an oblong pointed shape.
They have decorative foliage: drooping birch, silver maple, gray alder, alder buckthorn, fluffy sumac, tree-like caragana.
The beauty of ash will not leave anyone indifferent. original shape foliage and an interesting plexus of branches have manna ash and white ash.
Lankaran acacia (silk albizia) is an amazingly beautiful and openwork plant from the legume family. It has foliage with a carved edge and it reaches about 30-45 cm in length. The height of an adult tree is about 6-10 meters, and the width is up to 6 meters. Acacia blooms very beautifully, in summer it blooms fluffy pink panicles that exude a sweetish aroma.
Felt paulownia will serve as an excellent garden decoration. This is a fairly large tree with a rounded crown. During the flowering period (April-May), cute purple flowers, which resemble bells, collected in long panicles.
You can also plant a familiar maple on the site, but it is better to choose palm-shaped or palm-leaved. The tree grows up to 2 meters in height. It has beautiful openwork foliage with dissected lobes. By pruning vigorous shoots, you can give the maple the desired shape. However, it is a thermophilic species and is not suitable for frosty climates.
It is worth paying attention to conifers with an openwork crown. Japanese cryptomeria, southern species of pines, fir and arborvitae will become a real decoration of the site.
For example, in Japan, cryptometry is considered a national tree. In Russia, it is also actively used in landscape design.
As for pines, breeders have developed special miniature forms with slow growth to decorate gardens. On adjoining territories low-growing varieties of pines will look very impressive. They can be planted in a rock garden, on a simple lawn or in a mixborder.
Regardless of which ornamental trees you choose, the main thing is proper care and their proper placement. And after a while they will delight you with their beauty and natural aesthetics.
Every experienced gardener knows which trees can be planted side by side on the site, and which plants and shrubs need to be planted away from each other. It is very important for beginner gardeners and gardeners to know the compatibility of fruit trees and shrubs so as not to disturb the root system of plants and get good harvest.
Competent bookmark personal plot- a guarantee of an excellent harvest of berry and fruit crops. Every summer resident should know that when planting shrubs and trees, the compatibility of fruit trees is very important so that each plant has enough nutrients for growth and fruiting.
Regardless of the size of the site, first of all you need to prepare the soil, since then it will be more difficult to fix something.
Soil Requirements
What should be the land when laying a garden? Perfect option- fertile black soil. It is undesirable to plant trees and shrubs in sprayed soil; wetlands, as well as dense clay and rocky ones, will not work either.
It is highly undesirable to try to set up a garden in wetlands, hollows and closed pits. You can try, you just need to fertilize the soil well and make a fertile mixture.
Fruit plants will not please you with a harvest in areas with high watering, when groundwater passes almost on the surface. Plants will not be able to exist and develop in such difficult conditions, the roots will be constantly in the water and will gradually rot from a lack of nutrients and oxygen. If you are new to this business and do not yet know what kind of soil you got, as an experiment, you can plant a few fruit shrubs and watch the plant. If you see that the branches of the plant began to dry out with well-moistened soil, this indicates that the plant lacks nutrients, and the groundwater is too high. Of course, you can do otherwise and immediately invite specialists to assess the fertility of the soil and do everything in advance so that after planting there is no additional hassle with fertilizer and the introduction of a fertile mixture.
Is the groundwater level so important when planting seedlings? Of course, each plant has its own rules and regulations, so if you want to plant a pear or an apple tree on the site, then it is very important to check the level of groundwater, it should not reach 2 m from the surface of the earth. Plum and cherry are more picky in this regard, since the optimal water level should be no closer than 15 m, but for such fruit bushes as raspberries, currants and gooseberries, it is possible that the groundwater level is almost on the surface, but not closer, than 1 m.
What you need to consider in order to properly place all fruit trees and shrubs on the site:
- The level of occurrence of groundwater.
- Shading.
- Plant compatibility.
- Compliance with crop rotation.
When the year turned out to be dry, this has an extremely negative effect on productivity, but when the soil always remains wet, this is also bad, the plants suffer from excess moisture. It is very important to determine the level of groundwater and take appropriate measures, if there is an excess of liquid, try to remove moisture. In the lowland, you can dig a ditch or plant those crops that need more moisture.
The basic rule when planting fruit trees is that all stone fruit crops should be planted higher, preferably on elevated terrain. This is the only way to expect a good harvest.
Compatibility of trees and shrubs in the garden
Even in the old textbooks for beginner gardeners there is very little information regarding the influence of plants on each other ( fruit bushes And fruit trees). The whole baggage of knowledge experienced gardeners gain by experience, and then willingly share with beginners. It turns out that it is not enough just to buy a plot of land and buy different seedlings, and then get down to work together with the whole family. No, it turns out that when planting some trees in the garden, it is important to consider their compatibility. Perhaps the neighborhood will inhibit plants growing nearby, or vice versa, promote active growth. For example, seemingly harmless apple trees cannot stand the close proximity of such stone fruits as plum and cherry. Therefore, if you want to plant these trees on your site, you must maintain a certain distance.
Tree and Shrub Compatibility Chart
It is very important to consider the compatibility of trees with other plants, since each fruit tree or shrub releases its own "secret", such secretions can negatively affect the development of neighboring plants. This applies not only to ground action, but also underground, because each plant has its own root system. Each crop develops differently and it may happen that one plant will remain in the shade and be deprived of nutrition and sunlight, while another will grow. It turns out that the so-called "powerful representatives" of fruit trees (these are some varieties of pears, apple trees and plums) will suppress the growth of fruit shrubs and stone fruits. If you choose the right plants and plant them in certain order, then you can get not only a good harvest, but also protection from pests (the plants will independently protect each other from pests).
Pay attention to the compatibility table of fruit trees and shrubs in the garden:
The undesirable neighborhood of plants is highlighted in red, the favorable neighborhood is highlighted in green. We draw conclusions: so, if you plant, for example Walnut next to any fruit shrubs and trees, it will inhibit the growth of these plants. It is known that this tree is not friendly with any fruit trees. Despite this, the walnut repels insects. You can plant this tree on your site, only away from shrubs and fruit trees.
There are gardeners who dream of growing hazel on their plot, so as not to look for this tree in the forest, but to harvest on their plot. Here, too, you need to be careful, since hazel also acts depressingly on neighboring plants.
Check out the list of plants that do not get along with apple and pear:
- lilac;
- jasmine;
- fir;
- viburnum;
- horse chestnut.
What can be planted near a pear and an apple tree:
- sweet cherry;
- cherry;
- raspberries.
And, of course, an apple tree. This tree feels good next door to its fellows, even if the apple tree variety is different. When planting young apple seedlings, the following should be taken into account: do not try to plant a seedling in the place where the old apple tree grew. It is better to retreat at least a few meters from this place and plant a seedling, then the young apple tree will delight you with lush flowering.
Planting tree compatibility:
- Cherry gets along well with apple trees, grapes, and cherries. You can plant several cherry seedlings side by side. Plants will not interfere with each other. By the way, next to the cherries there should not be a blackcurrant bush.
- We choose a place for planting plums - away from the pear and next to the blackcurrant.
- Cherry should also be planted away from pears, apples, plums and cherry plums, as this tree with a powerful root system clogs other plants. In the neighborhood of cherries, it is undesirable to have such shrubs as raspberries, gooseberries and currants (red and white).
- If you want to plant blackberries or raspberries right under a peach or apricot to save space on your yard, these shrubs will delight you with a rich harvest.
- Raspberries and red currants do not get along with each other.
- Mulberry also does not tolerate neighborhood with other trees and shrubs, it can only be “friends” with its fellows, so next to the mulberry, you can plant another mulberry seedling, only of a different variety, so as not to be repeated.
- Sea buckthorn is a prickly plant that does not get along with other trees and shrubs. The neighborhood with a walnut is also undesirable.
We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the option of planning a personal plot. Dimensions 24x40 m:
Along the perimeter of the site (borders on 3 sides), you can plant fruit bushes: rose hips, raspberries, currants, sea buckthorn or plant ornamental trees. In the upper right corner, allocate a place for growing garden crops, and to separate the border between the vegetable garden and the orchard, plant a row of apple trees. Adjacent to the recreation area right side fruit trees will feel great on the plot: cherry and plum, and in the shade of these trees you can put a bench to rest in the midday heat. Strawberries, strawberries, roses and other flowers can be planted with opposite side plot so that these plants do not interfere with others.
By the way, roses do not tolerate neighborhood with other plants, so try to allocate a separate place for the queen of the flower.
Fruit trees and shrubs do not really like the close proximity to birch, this tree should be planted away from buildings, orchard and garden crops. A powerful root system draws maximum nutrients from the ground and takes all the moisture. For the same reason, it is undesirable to plant nearby conifers trees and maples. If there is enough space on your site, then you can take a chance and plant a few firs and birches. By the way, under the wide crown of maples, you can plant a fern or periwinkle.
Another feature coniferous trees, which must be taken into account: spruces are able to acidify the soil, so you can plant ferns, callas or begonias next to conifers. These plants love acidic soils. And here stone fruit trees and pome fruits, on the contrary, do not tolerate acidic soils.
If you want each plant in your plant to receive maximum nutrients, you must take into account the rules for the compatibility of fruit trees in the garden, and also do not forget about the composition of the soil. If crops such as strawberries, apple trees, gooseberries and cherries feel good in moderately acidic soil, then other crops will need a different soil composition. To get closer to the ideal and “make” the soil moderately acidic, you can bring some soil from the coniferous forest or buy peat.
Neutral soils are ideal for growing horticultural crops and most garden plants as well as flowers. If you love roses, peonies, chrysanthemums and carnations, you can stock up on seeds. Slightly acidic soils are suitable for growing lilies, but slightly alkaline soils will be ideal for garden crops such as cabbage, carrots and onions.
It is necessary to free the site from fallen leaves in a timely manner, since the secretions of some plants negatively affect the development of neighboring crops. So, coniferous trees and chestnuts interfere with other trees with their secretions. The list can be supplemented: these are oak, elder, willow and poplar.
When choosing plants that can be planted on the site, it is necessary to take into account their compatibility with flowers and the adaptability of each plant to different types soils. So, roses and begonias will need stable watering, but irises, cornflowers and carnations can for a long time do without moisture.
Tree planting rules:
Landing without site preparation: right on the lawn, in virgin lands, in heavily trampled earth, etc.
Consequences. Young plants suffer, die or live, but hardly bear fruit.
How right. At least 1 square meter must extend around each landing point. m loose and fertile soil. Fruit and berry crops should not be planted in virgin lands at all: it is better to postpone planting for a year, and dig up the site (next season you can grow annual flowers, zucchini or other vegetables on it). At least 1 square meter must be removed from the lawn. m of turf, dig a lawn tape around the perimeter, add 1 bucket of humus to the ground, dig it up, and then make a landing hole.
Mistake 2
Plants planted too close together.
Consequences. The grown trees and shrubs quickly begin to interfere with each other.
Distances between fruit plants
*If they are in the same row different cultures, then the distance between them is calculated by approximate formulas:
Distance = (plant interval 1 + plant interval 2) : 2
Distance = (expected maximum height of mature plant 1 + expected maximum height of mature plant 2) : 3.
Mistake 3
No landing pit: instead, the plant is offered a hole the size of a root system or container.
Consequences. Very poor growth, poor harvest.
How right. landing hole ( the average size 40 x 40 x 40 cm for berries and 60 x 60 x 60 cm for fruit crops) is required in all areas where there is no close occurrence of groundwater.
Error 4
Unsuitable substrate for planting: the plant is placed directly on compost pit or completely fill the hole with humus, earth from the forest and other foreign substances.
Consequences. The plant is sick, falls deep into or leans to the ground.
How right. For all crops except blueberries, lingonberries and cranberries, landing pit under the roots should be filled with local soil with additives to improve its properties, and the root system itself is covered with earth without any additives.
Classic landing technology
When excavating the earth from a pit for planting, a mound is kept next to it from a dark fertile layer, and light soil from the lower horizons is discarded (in the aisle or to another place). When planting large (in the future) plants - apple trees, pears, cherries - a reliable stake 2 m high is driven into the bottom of the pit. Part of the dark soil is mixed at the bottom of the pit with humus, a complex mineral fertilizer according to the instructions, ash, other additives to improve the soil (sand for heavy soil, a little clay for sandy, low-lying peat, etc.). Sprinkle a mound of the resulting mixture with clean earth, set the seedling at the recommended depth and cover it with dark soil. The earth is trampled down during planting if the seedling was with open roots, or knead with hands if the plant is potted. Be sure to water abundantly, after absorbing moisture, sprinkle trunk circle dry soil. Currants, gooseberries, honeysuckle are cut at a height of 5-7 cm from the ground, fruit seedlings tied to a peg "eight".
How to dig seedlings
You will need a place that does not get wet in the area where the snow will not melt first. There they dig a hole (for one or two seedlings) or a groove (if there are more) for two spade bayonets. The excavated soil is poured with a roller on one side. Seedlings without packaging are wrapped in plastic mesh or cover with spruce branches (to protect against mice) and put in a recess with a stem on a roller. Plants in pots are placed on a substrate of sawdust, fallen leaves or other loose material and surround the container from all sides with it (otherwise it will be difficult to get it in the spring). Then they throw it with compacted soil taken nearby - you should get a mound as high as the first mound.
Mistake 5
"Temporary" landing: if it is impossible to find a suitable place or to comply with all the rules and terms of planting, if there are doubts about the quality of the seedlings, the owners often plant plants "for a while" in completely inappropriate places or several pieces in one hole. Seedlings in containers are sometimes transferred to a larger pot, which is left to stand on the site.
Consequences. As a rule, the owner, who has attached the seedlings, relaxes and is in no hurry to solve the problem that prevented him from planting them immediately and properly. As a result, trees or bushes suffer in a “temporary apartment” for years, until they die or wait for a very traumatic and difficult move to a normal place. A seedling in a pot left standing on the ground runs the risk of freezing in winter.
How right. Temporary planting until next autumn is permissible only for small one-year-old seedlings, and only on a good bed at intervals of at least 30-40 cm from each other. In other cases, it is better not to plant the plants, but to dig in until spring.
Astrakhan tomatoes ripen remarkably lying on the ground, but you should not repeat this experience in the Moscow region. Our tomatoes need support, support, a garter. My neighbors use all sorts of pegs, garters, loops, ready-made plant supports, and mesh fences. Each method of plant fixation in vertical position has its merits and side effects". I'll tell you how I place tomato bushes on trellises, and what comes of it.
Flies - a sign of unsanitary conditions and carriers infectious diseases hazardous to both humans and animals. People are constantly looking for ways to get rid of nasty insects. In this article, we will talk about the Zlobny TED brand, which specializes in fly protection products and knows a lot about them. The manufacturer has developed a specialized line of drugs to get rid of flying insects anywhere quickly, safely and without extra costs.
The summer months are the time for hydrangeas to bloom. This beautiful deciduous shrub is luxuriously fragrant with flowers from June to September. Florists willingly use large inflorescences for wedding decors and bouquets. To admire the beauty flowering bush hydrangeas in your garden, you should take care of the proper conditions for it. Unfortunately, some hydrangeas do not bloom year after year, despite the care and efforts of gardeners. Why this happens, we will tell in the article.
Every summer resident knows that plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for full development. These are the three main macronutrients, the deficiency of which significantly affects appearance and yield of plants, and in advanced cases can lead to their death. But at the same time, not everyone understands the importance of other macro- and microelements for plant health. And they are important not only in themselves, but also for the effective absorption of the same nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
garden strawberry, or strawberry, as we used to call it - one of the earliest fragrant berries, which summer generously bestows on us. How we rejoice in this harvest! In order for the “berry boom” to repeat every year, we need to take care of caring for berry bushes. The laying of flower buds, from which ovaries will form in spring, and berries in summer, begins approximately 30 days after the end of fruiting.
Spicy Pickled Watermelon - savory snack to fatty meat. Watermelons and watermelon rinds pickled since time immemorial, but this process is laborious and time-consuming. According to my recipe, it’s easy to cook pickled watermelon in 10 minutes, and a spicy snack will be ready by the evening. The watermelon marinated with spices and chili is stored in the refrigerator for several days. Be sure to keep the jar in the refrigerator, not only for the sake of preservation - chilled, this snack is just licking your fingers!
Among the variety of species and hybrids of philodendrons, there are many plants, both gigantic and compact. But not a single species competes in unpretentiousness with the main modest - blushing philodendron. True, his modesty does not concern the appearance of the plant. Reddening stems and cuttings, huge leaves, long shoots, forming a very large, but strikingly elegant silhouette, look very elegant. Philodendron blushing requires only one thing - at least minimal care.
Thick Chickpea Soup with Vegetables and Egg is an easy recipe for a hearty first course inspired by Oriental cuisine. Similar thick soups are prepared in India, Morocco, countries South-East Asia. The tone is set by spices and seasonings - garlic, chili, ginger and a bouquet of spicy spices, which can be assembled to your liking. It is better to fry vegetables and spices in melted butter (ghee) or mix olive oil and butter in a saucepan, this, of course, is not the same, but it tastes similar.
Plum - well, who does not know her ?! She is loved by many gardeners. And all because it has an impressive list of varieties, it surprises excellent harvests, pleases with its diversity in terms of ripening and huge selection color, shape and taste of fruits. Yes, somewhere she feels better, somewhere worse, but almost no summer resident refuses to grow her on her plot. Today it can be found not only in the south, in middle lane, but also in the Urals, in Siberia.
Many ornamental and fruit crops, except for drought-resistant ones, suffer from the scorching sun, and conifers in the winter-spring period - from the sun's rays, enhanced by the reflection from the snow. In this article, we will talk about unique preparation to protect plants from sunburn and droughts - Sunshet Agrosuccess. The problem is relevant for most regions of Russia. In February and early March, the sun's rays become more active, and the plants are not yet ready for new conditions.
“Each vegetable has its own time”, and each plant has its own optimal time for planting. Anyone who has experienced planting is well aware that the hot season for planting is spring and autumn. This is due to several factors: in spring, the plants have not yet started to grow rapidly, there is no sweltering heat, and precipitation often falls. However, no matter how hard we try, circumstances often develop in such a way that landings have to be carried out at the very height of summer.
Chile con carne translated from Spanish- chili with meat. This is a Texan and Mexican dish whose main ingredients are chili peppers and minced beef. In addition to the main products, there are onions, carrots, tomatoes, and beans. This red lentil chili recipe is delicious! The dish is fiery, burning, very satisfying and amazingly tasty! You can cook a large pot, arrange in containers and freeze - a whole week will be a delicious dinner.
Cucumber is one of the most beloved garden crops of our summer residents. However, not all and not always gardeners manage to get a really good harvest. And although growing cucumbers requires regular attention and care, there are little secret, which will significantly increase their productivity. It's about about pinching cucumbers. Why, how and when to pinch cucumbers, we will tell in the article. An important point The agricultural technique of cucumbers is their formation, or type of growth.
