It's very difficult to get rid of the tenacious bedstraw, which is both a noxious weed and a medicinal herb. The seeds are viable and can germinate even in cool conditions—down to 0 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, the shoots emerge equally quickly in spring, summer, and fall. Therefore, to combat it, I... 
This weed is very common in gardens: It's called tenacious bedstraw, but depending on the region of Russia, it has other names. For example, sticky bedstraw and sticky bedstraw (the most common), scaly bedstraw, sticky bedstraw, and clingy bedstraw. This is because the tips of the green mass are covered with tiny hairs with... 
I had a problem – the seedlings stopped appearing. I knew the reason – the shade – but there was no other place to plant them. I decided to take action. The first thing I did was buy Kornevin. I got this one – it's budget-friendly, but it proved to be effective in a few... 
The pepper seedlings had grown a bit, and their pots were getting crowded, so it was time to transplant each pepper into its own pot. After I planted the seedlings in the greenhouse last spring, I rinsed the pots with water from the watering can. I bagged them and took them to the shed. When...

As usual, I had some opened packets of seeds left over from last year. I realized that these seeds don't germinate well, so I try not to sow them.

Hello, gardeners and summer residents. Are you ready for the new gardening season? Perhaps some of you are already seeing the first sprouts, their tiny leaves reaching for the sun. And for others, as my husband says, "the seedlings are already sprouting." I haven't planted anything yet. But I'm stocking up on seeds, checking for... 
We grow leaf and root parsley every year; I can't even imagine my dacha without it. Parsley is a spicy, highly aromatic plant, belonging to the Apiaceae or Celery family. Parsley comes in leaf and root varieties. Leaf parsley is divided into regular leaf and curly leaf, with wavy, corrugated leaves. 
To combat pests, many gardeners use 9% vinegar or acetic acid, which are mostly synthetic vinegars. But gardeners can easily make natural apple cider vinegar at home using apples from their own garden and use it to control pests. Apple cider vinegar is a great help for gardeners... 
When I had trouble with germination in a shaded area, I decided to use an old, tried-and-true yeast recipe. It always works perfectly and has many advantages. But first, I'd like to share this unique remedy with beginners: I heated water in a kettle, but didn't let it boil...
