Помидоры.

Image of the Day.

У высокорослых помидоров прищипните верхушки и удалите лишние соцветия, чтобы дать плодам возможность быстрее созреть.
Для ускорения созревания можете подкормить растения йодом (на 1 погонный метр грядки 20-30 капель на 10 л воды).
Чтобы ускорить созревание томатов в открытом грунте, можете сделать острым ножом на стеблях продольные разрезы, в которые вставьте щепочки, чтобы разрезы не смыкались.
Помидоры собирайте бурыми, срывая их вместе с плодоножкой, и сразу же кладите на дозаривание слоем в два-три плода плодоножками вверх.
Можете переложить их дольками чеснока.

Малина и ежевика садовая

Малина и ежевика садовая:
Малина.
Без слоя органики (навоза) под кустами малина вообще немыслима.
Она слишком требовательна к влаге и питанию.
Даже мульчированные ряды нужно поливать раз в две недели.
Почва должна быть влажной постоянно.

Grow blueberries

Varieties to try:
'Patriot' - a high-yielding, vigorous, hardy variety with medium to large blue berries and excellent flavour.
'Herbert' - arguably the tastiest variety of blueberry. It produces large berries and has moderate vigour.
'Ivanhoe' - mid-season, erect variety with large, delicious, dark blue berries. A vigorous plant with good autumn colour.
Where-to-buy:
Trehane Nursery.
Blueberries need the same soil as Rhododendrons and azaleas and are slightly more fussy on soil than camellias. If you're on chalk or clay then we advise against growing blueberries in the ground.
Growers have always recommended more than one variety to assist with cross pollination.
Pruning blueberries: "If in doubt, cut it out" as hard pruning only improves fruit size of whats left.

Any good ericaceous compost will be fine, but you need to feed with a similarly ericaceous product. You can always acidify your water with vinegar if you have a supply that is slightly alkaline. Rain water is best. Mulching with bracken or pine needles also helps if you are pushed.

I always plant my bushes into planting holes filled with a mix of pine chippings and ericaceous compost.
To keep the soil on the acid side I water on sulphate of iron as per the makers instructions in early spring and in late autumn.
As they need acid soil to prosper and my soil isn't quite acid enough, I've dug out each planting hole and filled with a mixture of ericaceous compost mixed with about a quarter bark chippings.

I'll be mulching them too with coffee grounds and composted pine needles and watering them only with collected rain water if need be, to keep them happy.


Espoma's "Soil Acidifier."
It contains sulfur, derived from elemental sulfur and gypsum.
You can find this organic goodness at any respectable garden center. Application is a breeze: First, grab a measuring cup...
And fill it with the acidifying granules.
Then pour the granules in a circle around the drip line of each shrub.
The drip line is the outermost edge from which water would naturally drip from the plant.
Feeder roots are concentrated there.
Rates. For young shrubs, use about 1 1/4 cups acidifier. For larger shrubs, use 2 1/2 cups.
Repeat the procedure every 60 days or so, or until you achieve the correct pH for your blueberries -- 4.6 to 5.5. Watering-in.

"Gooseberry 'Whinham's Industry'

Monty's favourite fruit | Plant features | Plants | BBC Gardeners' World: "Gooseberry 'Whinham's Industry'
Grows well in shade and on heavy soil. It forms red berries that are ready to pick in late-July."

Измельченные стебли люпина, зарытые вокруг кустов крыжовника и смородины в канавки 10x10 см и посыпанные золой, увеличивают урожай в 1,5 раза.

How to Grow Jerusalem Artichokes

Growing Jerusalem Artichokes - How to Grow Jerusalem Artichokes from Allotment Vegetable Growing Advice and Guides: "In the autumn the foliage starts to change colour and should be cut down to about 30cm (12') above the ground as a marker. You can leave them in the ground to dig as required. They are quite a productive crop, 3kg from one plant is typical so you don't need many seed tubers."

Огород по митлайдеру с фото

Метод Миттлайдера значительно экономит время. При некотором опыте ежедневно на уход за посадками уходит около часа в день в утреннее время. Если же Вы приезжаете на участок лишь в выходные дни, придется наведываться еще раз в середине недели, чтобы полить овощи и вовремя уничтожить прорастающие сорняки.
