Gardeners' Club
We love all kinds of greens, so we plant them in large quantities. I especially like leaf lettuce—the most common kind. I usually buy seeds, but this year a relative brought her own, and she didn't know the variety, so I didn't know it either. I've read many times that this crop... 
This article will focus on radishes, which have a growing season of less than 21 days. Radishes are the earliest-ripening root vegetable, making them a favorite among many gardeners not only in Russia but also abroad. Like all other vegetable crops, radishes are divided into categories based on their growing season... 
Mistress cabbage grows in the garden. Be plump, be firm, be crisp, be delicious. May fleas not gnaw at you, may hail not beat you down, may you be as plump and beautiful as on the cover of a book. The most important vegetables in a Siberian garden are potatoes, cucumbers, carrots, beets, zucchini, and cabbage. It's hard to imagine... 
In a small patch of land, I planted onions and dill, right next to each other. As a novice gardener, I was advised, the crops wouldn't interfere with each other because dill's root system is too small. I did this in a small plot for the sake of experimentation. Well, we'll see what happens next. And... 
We moved to a new house out of necessity. The garden plot here is neglected, having been neglected for a long time, and the surrounding water stagnates in the spring and dries up in the summer. We usually plant onions in the field, but I wanted to have my own green ones, meaning... 
I'm new to planting, so I try to ask friends and family about various nuances. I planted sorrel, lettuce, parsley, and dill from seeds. A couple of weeks passed, and the seedlings still hadn't appeared. I complained about this to my mother (she lives in another region of Russia and is a gardener...) 
We don't sow dill in our garden beds. It grows spontaneously throughout our dacha, wherever it feels like it. We remove it from the beds and flower beds, leaving it where it doesn't get in the way. It grows, forming seed umbels. We collect the ripe seeds for pickling cabbage, for cooking... 
If you don't want to use chemicals, which are always toxic (I wrote about them here), you can also try folk remedies. Just a word of caution: they're more suitable for prevention than for getting rid of leafhoppers. I've also written about the pest and its harmfulness, as well as about prevention. However... 
I've already written about spittlebug and the damage it causes. Now I'll tell you how I used to combat it. Just look at this thick foam – it's really dense in structure. Therefore, before using even chemicals (not to mention folk remedies... 
Like any pest, the spittlebug is dangerous. But the spittlebug scum poses no threat to humans. So, nothing bad will happen if you accidentally touch it. Except for the disgust... Moreover, due to the high humidity in Madagascar, there are so many spittlebug spittlebug that in hot weather, the spittlebug simply runs down in rivulets. This creates...
