Gardeners' Club
Let me start by saying that we moved into a new house. The property is neglected, and I discovered a spittlebug on the willow. I've known about this leafhopper for a long time, having encountered the problem in my old house. I also know firsthand how to combat it, so feel free to use... 
I bought a lot of parsley, so I was wondering how to store it, but without refrigeration. A woman at the market where I was buying the herbs gave me this idea. She asked, "Why buy so much? It'll go bad." But I explained to her how I usually store it in the refrigerator, on... 
It's still a bit early, so the parsley I planted in the garden hasn't grown. And it's not growing well anyway. I bought some greens like this at the market—they were sold with the roots (honestly, I don't understand why they'd rip them out like that, since the roots will eventually grow into new ones... 
Winter beets have a significant advantage: they ripen 15-20 days earlier than those planted in the spring. Basic guidelines: plant in late October or early November, before frost; keep the soil cool to prevent the seeds from sprouting immediately; plant as usual, but with seeds... 
I've never grown zucchini because we rarely eat them, and we don't like salted or pickled ones. We only make caviar for the winter. Although, last year I was treated to some canned zucchini, and I absolutely loved them. And then last summer, a neighbor started treating me to some of her vegetables... 
I'd like to tell you how I grow late-season cabbage. I don't plant early varieties because they don't keep well, but late varieties store well until almost March. This year, I planted two varieties, and I didn't bother with them too much, so I planted them right next to each other and interspersed. Which varieties did I... 
I have a greenhouse at my dacha, homemade of course (we made it out of whatever we had), but in early spring I grow cucumbers, herbs, and salads there, and then I plant tomatoes. Seedlings, of course. To keep them from getting too hot and humid, we raise the plastic sheeting on the sides in some places... 
August is ending. The summer we practically never had is leaving. Despite the rainy and autumnally cold summer, our greenhouse harvest is excellent. We remodeled the greenhouses in the fall – we had three beds in each, now we have two, and the passageway has become... 
Cabbage is a popular vegetable grown by gardeners. We also grow this healthy vegetable every year. The most common is white cabbage. We also grow Savoy cabbage, red cabbage, cauliflower, and Chinese cabbage—we plant 5-10 of each. All types of cabbage produce a good harvest. I also grew broccoli, but... 
We've become accustomed to purple cabbage, peppers, onions, and eggplants. Purple carrots, cauliflower, tomatoes, and peas with purple pods are also common. But purple potatoes still seem exotic, foreign. Most Russian gardeners typically grow varieties with white, yellow, or pink skin. Three...
