Виноград в Сибири - Советы:
"- Поскольку в золе все питательные вещества находятся в легко растворимой в воде форме и легко усвояемой растениями, применяют внекорневую подкормку вытяжкой древесной золы, для этого четвертую часть золы заливают 3/4 частей воды и при помешивании выдерживают на солнце в течение нескольких дней.
Вытяжка готова.
Много полезных веществ остается и в сухом остатке, который тоже можно использовать."

Rhubarb syrup.
reading my tea leaves: make your own: rhubarb syrup + a springtime cocktail.:
Rhubarb syrup.
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1.5 cups rhubarb stalks, washed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 8 stalks)
Combine sugar, water, and rhubarb pieces into a heavy bottomed saucepan.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer until the fruit has broken down completely and the color from the stalks has leached into the syrup.
This takes about twenty minutes. Depending on the color of your stalks the syrup will range from light pink to a deeper magenta.
Strain your mixture over a fine mesh sieve.
If you'd like, you can save the rhubarb fruit for spooning over ice cream—but a fair warning: it will be a slightly unfortunate color of green.
Strawberry Rhubarb Smash
Adapted from Saveur.
Makes one drink.
juice from 1/2 a lemon
3-4 mint leaves
1 ounce rhubarb syrup
1 ounce bourbon
1-2 strawberries, washed and hulled
mint, strawberry, or lilac flower for garnish
(I mixed up a batch of four drinks in one go, but purists will likely want to do the mixing individually.)
Here's how:
Muddle together strawberries, lemon juice, & mint.
Top those off with rhubarb syrup and bourbon and shake or stir with ice.
Strain into a glass filled with ice (or, go ahead and let some of that strawberry pulp makes its way into the glass, too.)
Garnish with mint, strawberry, or tiny lilac flowers, as your heart desires.

Chives: Planting today.
Chives: Planting, Growing, and Harvesting:
"Harvest/Storage
Harvest chives 30 days after you transplant or 60 days after seeding.
Be sure to cut the leaves down to the base when harvesting (within 1 to 2 inches of the soil).
Harvest 3 to 4 times during the first year. In subsequent years, cut plants back monthly.
The chive plant will flower in May or June. (The flowers are edible.)
Use chives when they're fresh or frozen (freeze the leaves in an airtight bag). Dried chives lose their flavor.
Store chives in a cool place in a reseable container.
Recommended Varieties
Garlic chives, to add a mild garlic flavor to any dish"

1. Rosa 'Penny Lane'
I COULD dedicate the whole article to climbing roses, but I've chosen this one simply because it's such a good doer. It was awarded Rose of the Year in 1998. I grow it in my garden on a lowish, north-east-facing wall. It produces nicely shaped flowers, beautiful in bud and almost blowsy when fully open. The colour is particularly subtle, buff with a hint of pink when young, becoming Champagne with age. It has good disease resistance, is compact enough for the smallest garden and it repeats well. Since it went in, I have always been able to pick a posy for the house at Christmas.
