I've already written about the wild cucumber (here), and now I'll tell you about the benefits and harms of this fascinating plant. But why is the wild cucumber useful in a garden plot, and is it worth growing? I'll start with the positive, that is, the benefits: Growing it is very simple, the main thing is that the soil... 
This year, my beets have been a real disaster. They've been plagued by everything from phoma, blackleg, cercospora, and fusarium. But that's not all—it turns out we've also been plagued by pests like flies, nematodes, and mole crickets. I've had... 
Last year, I had onion leaves in my garden beds, so this topic is relevant for me, and I think for other new gardeners as well. The first thing you need to do is check your soil's pH, as very high levels are detrimental to onions. And if you find this to be the case,... 
The crazy cucumber plant belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, but it is poisonous. It's called "cucumber" because of its resemblance to the vegetable, and "crazy" because of its ability to dance and release slimy seeds when its shell ruptures. We have a lot of these growing behind our house... 
I've had a real problem this year – I planted onion sets, and they only produced normal green leaves once. Then the leaves started falling off. I decided to figure out what was going on and discovered there were several reasons. The first reason why this happened to me is... 
Gardeners often encounter viral and other diseases. I had the same problem for a couple of years in a row. Either I did something wrong, or I bought planting material that was already infected. So, I carefully studied potato diseases, consulted with an agronomist, and learned a lot... 
If you don't care for the crop or don't care for it properly, you won't get a decent harvest or a sweet vegetable. I've personally learned this from experience. The agronomic requirements for beets are quite simple. Thinning. The root crop loves plenty of space, especially the larger varieties. If planting is done with strict consideration... 
My beets in my garden are my pride and joy (as are other crops)! Because I always adhere to all agricultural practices. I pay special attention to timing, site selection, and, most importantly, the preparation of the planting material. I recommend paying attention to all these factors. Beetroot Planting Timing... 
Not long ago, I came across a "nice" herb called Canadian goldenrod. It's both beneficial and harmful. Its benefits lie in its medicinal properties. It's used to make all sorts of folk remedies and pharmaceuticals. I wrote a post about it (if you're interested, check it out).... 
Today I'd like to share some guidelines for choosing beets before planting—the most important considerations. The primary factor in choosing a beet variety is its intended use—whether it's for feeding livestock, making borscht, or salad (the difference is enormous!). The root's sugar content and ripening time are also important factors. Climate conditions are also important...
