Lettuce, as the earliest and most unpretentious green crop, has always been held in high esteem by gardeners. Most gardeners usually start spring planting by sowing lettuce, parsley and radishes. Recently, the desire for healthy eating and a large selection of greens in supermarkets have forced gardeners to think about which of these plants can be grown in their beds? In this article we will talk about nine of the most interesting, in our opinion, varieties of salad.

Carrots come in different colors: orange, white, yellow, purple. Orange carrots are dominated by beta-carotene and lycopene, the yellow color is due to the presence of xanthophylls (lutein); White carrots have a lot of fiber, and purple ones contain anthocyanin, beta and alpha carotenes. But, as a rule, gardeners choose carrot varieties for sowing not by the color of the fruit, but by the timing of their ripening. We will tell you about the best early, middle and late varieties in this article.

We recommend a fairly easy pie recipe with a delicious chicken and potato filling. An open pie with chicken and potatoes is an excellent hearty dish that is suitable for a hearty snack; it is very convenient to take a couple of pieces of this pastry on the road. The pie is baked in the oven for one hour at 180 degrees. After this, we lay it out on a wooden surface, having first released it from the mold. It is enough to slightly cool the baked goods and you can start tasting.

The long-awaited spring for many indoor plants is the period of the start of active growing season, and for most - the return of their decorative properties. While admiring the young leaves and emerging shoots, you should not forget that spring is also a great stress for all indoor plants. Sensitive to changes in conditions and universal, all indoor crops face much brighter lighting, changes in air humidity and temperature conditions.

You can easily prepare homemade Easter cake with cottage cheese and candied fruits, even without any pastry experience. You can bake Easter cake not only in a special form or in a paper mold. For your first culinary experiences (and more), I advise you to take a small cast-iron frying pan. Easter cake in a frying pan will not turn out as high as in a narrow pan, but it never burns and is always well baked inside! Cottage cheese dough made with yeast turns out airy and aromatic.

It is also interesting because its fruits (pumpkins) are used for food by young, not ripe ones (greens). This means that you don’t have to wait for the harvest to ripen, and from late spring to autumn you can have fresh vegetables on your menu. In your garden beds, it is better to grow varieties and hybrids of zucchini that are resistant to diseases and changes in weather conditions. This eliminates unwanted treatments and allows you to get a harvest in any weather. It is these varieties of zucchini that will be discussed in this article.

In the middle zone, April is the time when the first flowering of plants in gardens and parks begins. The constant soloists of the spring that has come into its own are the bulbous primroses. But even among the ornamental shrubs you can find those that will delight you with fragrant flowers that enliven the still inconspicuous garden. The main riot of beautifully flowering ornamental shrubs occurs in the month of May, and most of them, as a rule, bloom in mid-May.

Salad “Uzbekistan” with green radish, boiled meat and eggs is a classic dish of Uzbek cuisine, known to many since the times of the USSR. In any Uzbek restaurant you could order this simple but very tasty salad with meat and radish as an appetizer. If you have never cooked this dish before, I advise you to try it - you will like it and fall into the category of favorites! You can diversify the taste a little and add finely chopped cilantro, parsley and a pod of red chili pepper.

We are offered such a huge number of different preparations that, at times, even an experienced summer resident can get confused about choosing one or another fertilizer. In this article, we invite the reader to get acquainted with OMU - a complex granular organomineral fertilizer of prolonged action, which compares favorably with other modern complex fertilizers. Why is WMD the best nutrition you can offer your plants and how does it work?

The group of medicinal plants that have a general calming (sedative) effect includes a large number of aromatic herbs and shrubs. When used correctly, teas and infusions from these plants help cope with stressful situations, improve mood, eliminate or reduce nervous overexcitation. In this article we will talk about nine of the most interesting, in our opinion, medicinal plants that can be grown on the site without much difficulty.

Fragrance is not the most important feature and is not at all associated with orchids. But for some species and individual varieties, the smell is a significant addition to their main “image”. Favorite sweets, confectionery and spicy aromas are not uncommon among orchids. Vanilla aromas or more original spices in the scent notes give the delightfully bright flowers even more exotic. And you can choose spicy fragrant orchids from both popular and rare species.

Easy pear and nut muffins - sweet, juicy and delicious! The birthplace of muffins is considered to be Great Britain and America. In England, such muffins are made from rich yeast dough, in America from buttery yeast-free dough, which is loosened with baking soda or baking powder, or both at the same time. The basic muffin recipe looks something like this: 200 g flour, 200 ml milk or kefir, 100 g eggs, 100 g butter, baking powder and soda.

What does it take to get a good potato harvest? Many gardeners will say - good seed material, fertile soil, timely watering and fertilizing. But there is one negative factor that can significantly reduce the potato yield, despite the fulfillment of the above conditions - weeds. On plantations overgrown with weeds, it is not possible to obtain a rich potato harvest, and repeated weeding is one of the most labor-intensive procedures in caring for the crop.

Some of the summer residents are lucky and they acquire an estate with several mature spreading trees that create shade and cozy corners. But our new dacha had virtually no such plantings. And the half-empty area behind the chain-link mesh turned out to be completely open to prying eyes. That's why this interesting design arose, which meets the specific requirements of our family. I think our experience in constructing multifunctional plant supports will be interesting to you too.

Today we will talk about the annual variety “Amore Mio”. In 2016, petunia “Amore Mio Orange” received a gold medal from the international association of breeders, sellers and producers of flower crops. The plant grows up to 25 cm in height. The bush looks like a ball, which is densely strewn with bright fragrant flowers up to 6 cm in diameter. Does not set seeds. Petunia "Amore Mio" is used for vertical and horizontal gardening.

It is called the growing (young) Moon.

Waxing Moon (young Moon) and its influence

The waxing Moon shows the way, accepts, builds, creates, accumulates energy, prevents the earth from accepting moisture, accumulates strength, has a positive effect on everything that can be saved, and helps to relax.

Growing Moon (young Moon) - health

On the young moon, all activities and procedures to restore and strengthen organs and body parts are favorable.

Everything that you want to introduce into the body, that strengthens and builds it, is doubly effective during these two weeks.

It is easier to eliminate deficiencies during a waxing Moon than during a waning Moon; it is especially useful at this time to make up for the lack of minerals and vitamins. Magnesium, calcium, and iron preparations work much better.

When the Moon is young, the body accumulates energy, gains strength, and it is undesirable to waste it at this time, since even a slight load can lead to exhaustion. At this time, the immune system is weaker, we have a harder time enduring even minor ailments, wounds bleed more and heal worse. As the crescent of the Moon increases, the likelihood of a successful outcome of any operation decreases, wounds and injuries begin to heal worse. It leaves a lot of scars. The closer the day of the full moon, the stronger this influence.

With the waxing Moon, more fluid accumulates in the body and, in particular, in the legs; it is difficult to remove it even with diuretics. Any poisoning from a wasp sting to mushroom poisoning turns out to be very strong. But the body also perceives medicinal ointments much better during the young moon.

When the Moon is waxing, the body tries to assimilate the food it receives as much as possible and store as much as possible in reserve. With always the same eating habits, we feel a feeling of heaviness in our stomach much more often, and we gain weight more easily.

Therefore, you need to limit yourself in nutrition if you do not want to gain weight.

Growing Moon (young Moon) – beauty, hair cutting

When the moon is waxing, the body is tuned to absorb energy, to absorb and preserve everything that comes into it. The skin more easily accepts everything that nourishes it, that supplies it with the necessary substances - that is, nourishing and moisturizing creams and masks. Cutting your hair during the waxing moon is very favorable; hair cut at this time grows faster. Especially and , a and should be skipped.

Waxing Moon calendar for 2019 contains information about the dates and times of the beginning and end of the growing Moons.

Increasingly, our lives are becoming accustomed to planning our affairs according to the lunar calendar. This applies not only to gardening matters (carrying out gardening or vegetable garden work, sowing and processing), but also to nutrition, changing one’s image, traveling, and even quitting and looking for a new job.

But there are always pros and cons to the habit of adhering to the Lunar calendar. This is especially true for sowing and other gardening work. Some people simply don’t believe in this, while for others, due to their busy life schedule, it is difficult to plan and carry out this work on favorable days according to the Lunar calendar. But if you still want to use it, then you first need to understand how it works.

Life in the reflection of the moon

The lunar month differs from the usual calendar month and lasts for 29.5 days. A lunar day also differs from an ordinary solar day and lasts 24 hours and 50 minutes. During this time, the Moon completes its revolution around the Earth. An important role is also played by what lunar phase is at that moment. There are the following phases: new moon, waxing moon, full moon, waning moon. The first and last lunar quarters are also important. Each phase lasts a week.

A few simple tips will help you understand which phase the moon is in. If the crescent moon resembles the letter C, then the Moon is in a waning phase, and if this letter is the opposite, then the Moon is in a waxing phase. A full moon or full moon is when the entire moon is visible. The new moon is the opposite, when the moon is not visible. If a narrow lunar crescent appears in the sky in the form of the letter C on the contrary, then this is a young Moon, then a growing Moon, and when its right half is illuminated, then this is already the first quarter. The last quarter moon is when, after the full moon, the moon begins to wane and only the right side of the moon is illuminated.

Thus, you can independently determine what phase the Moon is currently in. This could be: new moon - young moon - first quarter of the moon - waxing moon - full moon - waning moon - last quarter of the moon - old moon and again the new moon. But there is another way to navigate the lunar phases, namely, purchase a ready-made lunar calendar for the current period.

The main features when taking into account the phases of the Moon are that when the Moon is growing, everything that grows above the earth actively develops. This means that this is a good time for sowing leafy vegetables, flowers, sowing a lawn, and replanting indoor plants. During the waning Moon, it is allowed to sow crops that bear fruit underground - these are carrots, beets, potatoes, onions and others. It is better not to carry out work during the full and new moon, as this is a period of particularly vulnerable plants.

In addition to the lunar phases, it is also important to understand which zodiac sign the Moon is in during a given period. Having collected information on the correspondence of calendar and lunar day(s) and the position of the Moon in zodiac signs into one table, the following recommendations were formulated for carrying out work in May 2018 on your site.

As can be seen from the table above, in May 2018 there are few favorable days when it is possible to plant such popular crops as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and other crops. There are also two days - new moon and full moon - when it is better not to go out into the garden at all.

Libra – not favorable:

It is important that when the Moon is in some signs of the Zodiac, it is unfavorable to water your plantings or apply fertilizers during these periods. How can the most necessary components for the growth and development of plants harm them? Indeed, it is possible, for example, to simply burn the root system of a plant with fertilizers, but from watering the root system can simply fester. And this is connected with the processes that occur inside the plant during certain lunar phases, and these processes tend to intensify and slow down.

Everyone makes the decision whether to use the advice of the Lunar calendar or not for themselves, based on their beliefs and capabilities. But the fact is undeniable that everything must be done with a good mood and good thoughts. Then this positive energy will definitely bear fruit in the form of friendly, grateful shoots and a rich harvest.
