Шнитт-лук. Сhive.

Многолетний шнитт-лук называют также лук-резанец. Это прекрасное декоративное растение, нетребовательное и очень привлекательное внешне. Размножается семенами и делением куста. Тоненькие трубчатые листья шнитт-лука появляются, едва сходит снег. Нежные и сочные, они практически лишены горечи и очень приятны на вкус.

Цветущий шнитт-лук весьма декоративен, но его листья при этом становятся грубыми и для еды непригодными. По окончании цветения желательно коротко обрезать наземную часть растения, и очень быстро зелень отрастет вновь. Шнитт-лук пригоден для зимней выгонки в домашних условиях.

Click these links for growing guides for each variety:
Popular and easy to grow in fall and spring: beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, chard, kale, lettuces, leeks, peas, radishes and spinach.

For the connoisseur: arugula, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, celery, Chinese cabbage, collards, endive, fennel, garlic, onions, parsnips, salad greens and turnips.

Surprising cool-season crops: including asparagus, potatoes and rhubarb. Yes, they are often thought of and grown in the summer, but they prefer the cooler temperatures of spring and fall.

Allotment controversies

Vertical Allotments – what’s the cost?

Vertical Allotments – what’s the cost?: "Comparison with Allotments A survey in 2008 / 2009 found that allotment holders spent an average of £202 a year, and worked 203 hours to maintain a 300 square yard plot. The average yield worked out as nearly double mine at £1564 a year.  Based on my figures, this shows that an allotment produces double the return per hour invested. However, these figures don’t take into account the time spent travelling to an allotment (significant in some areas) or the benefits of having food growing at home and being able to harvest it just as you need it."

Cabbage.

"These are one of the oldest and most staple vegetables known to man, right across all cultures and civilisations.
They are hardy, delicious and are exceptionally good for you, being packed with vitamins A and C, and, like all brassicas, lower cholesterol and help prevent cancers.
I sow seed in spring in plugs or seed trays and transplant this to 3in pots once they have developed three leaves.
I nurture these, protecting them from slugs,gradually hardening them off until they are ready to plant out in midsummer.
It is important to plant them out while they are still growing strongly, which will be dictated as much by the size of the pot and quality of compost and water as timing.
Most modern winter cabbages are 'drumheads' with a round mass of tightly packed leaves.
They are usually ready to eat between October and March.
Spring cabbages are either made up of loose leaves (spring greens) or make a heart, but both types mature very slowly over winter from a mid-summer sowing which is planted out in August and September.
This is a much underrated vegetable and one of my favourites."

How to start an allotment

River Cottage - Features - How to start an allotment - Channel 4: "Can I blag any freebies to get me started? Some of the more generous seed suppliers may offer you samples as an incentive and you can always look into joining your local Seed Exchange - a swap shop for seeds, seedlings and invaluable know-how between allotment keepers. Here are a few seed swap links: www.seedypeople.co.uk www.growfruitandveg.co.uk www.overthegardengate.co.uk"

My allotment.

Мой огород сегодня.

Вот так растет ревень в темноте. Часть мы уже съели.

Он не выглядит столь мощным как хотелось бы.
Возможно потому, что он посажен только первый год.

That's how it should be.
