The perfectly balanced vitamin formula of carrots explains the medicinal properties of the product.
The main element of carrots is carotene, which is transformed in the body into vitamin A,
affecting almost all organs and systems of human organs and protects cells from negative external influences.

If your garden is planted with all sorts of greens and vegetables, as expected, listen to the advice of an experienced gardener, Nizhny Novgorod citizen Pyotr Mikhailovich Yurchenko. Maybe amateur gardeners know his name from publications in numerous thematic publications. In one of the issues "Whether in the garden or in the garden" I will definitely try to tell you about this most interesting person. In the meantime, very useful garden tips for the end of June - mid-July. Potassium permanganate for carrots
In order not to attract a carrot fly when thinning carrots, you need to take a bucket of water and dilute 1 tbsp in it. l. red or black ground pepper (enough for 10 sq. m). You do not need to insist, just spray the carrots with infusion before thinning.

If you want to get a harvest of good clean carrots (without any rot, infection, etc.), I advise you, after the second thinning in early July, to water the young plants with water (in a bucket) with potassium permanganate diluted in it (3 g) and 2 - 3 g of boric acid. The bucket is enough for 3 - 4 sq. m. Repeat the same procedure a second time in 20 days. The carrots will be clean. Do not forget to water the carrots with plain water just before watering with the solution.

To prevent the carrots from becoming horny, not cracking, thin them out, leaving a distance of at least 4 - 5 cm between the plants.

Beet salt
Beetroot is an unpretentious culture, but a few tips can be given. Many gardeners do not like large beets. If you want to get a smaller vegetable, plant not as usual plants at a distance of 8 - 10 cm in a row and 18 - 20 cm between rows, but reduce the distance between rows to 10 - 12 cm. By the way, I do not recognize sowing beets directly into the ground, I plant it only through seedlings (I grow it in a greenhouse).

When I plant seedlings in the ground (June 5 - 6), be sure to pinch it by a third or a quarter. Thus, the plant's forces go to the "head", and not to the root.

Beets, unlike carrots, love ash. Therefore, a couple of times a season add ashes under the beetroot. This helps to neutralize the soil, because the beets do not tolerate acidic soils. You can even sprinkle lime under the plants for deoxidation.

To make the beets look sweet, pour salt water on them twice (a spoonful of salt in a bucket of water). Water for the first time when the root crop is just starting to round, then 25 - 30 days before harvesting.

Knock on the tomatoes
Tomatoes are one of my favorite crops. I have been growing for two decades in a greenhouse the same proven varieties - "Titan" and "Peremoga". What do I advise gardeners these days? In the greenhouse, the first tier with tomatoes is already there. So, be sure to tear off the leaf on the tomatoes before this first tier so that it does not take food from the fruits. You need to pick the leaf as soon as small tomatoes appear - with a cherry, you don't need to do this before: otherwise, the ovaries will not tie well.

These days, you need to thoroughly feed the tomato with sodium humate - 10 g per 100 liters of water. Do not be afraid of sodium humate, it is an organic fertilizer.

In greenhouses, tomatoes are harder to tie, especially in the current hot summer. To speed up pollination, I advise you to knock on the stems of the tomatoes, as I say to poke.

Very often, gardeners do not know which stepsons to cut off and which ones to leave, and this is directly related to the harvest. I advise you to remember: you only need to leave the first stepson, who will appear under (and not above) the first brush. Most gardeners do exactly the opposite and leave the upper, harmful stepson, which will bloom, but not bear fruit. The remaining two trunks will make it possible to form a bush (I sometimes form it into 3 stems) with 4 - 5 tiers of tomatoes.

I also want to dwell on one important detail: watering. Remember: you need to water the tomatoes not under the bush, but in the aisles. Under the bush, I water the tomatoes while they are small, and by June 10 - 12, when the bushes are completely huddled, abundant watering is only in the aisles. Tomatoes love infrequent, but abundant watering (1 time in 7 to 8 days). Moreover, the top of the earthed hillock must remain dry - in this way the air flows through the dry soil to the roots. You can even mulch the top with chopped straw. And let the moisture go to the roots from the aisles. Let me explain why: when we water the bush at the root, the water washes away the root and the earth lags behind it. The root system again has to work, spend energy to "suck" the soil. In the grooves, the moist soil, on the contrary, presses on the roots, presses the ground.

Feather arrow
Many gardeners complain that daikon or black radish shoots quickly. This can be avoided by planting a black radish not earlier than July 5-10, and a daikon not earlier than July 25.

HOW TO GET AN EXCELLENT HARVEST!

• It is important to plant and prune the plants correctly. Bushes are planted with row spacing of at least 1.8 m and at a distance of 0.7 m in a row. Not one, but two seedlings are placed in each hole. Pillars are installed along the row and galvanized wire 4 mm thick is pulled at a height of 1.2 m from the ground.
  Every year, shoots are tied to it so that 7 shoots are located in the interval between the bushes (0.7 m). Pillars, wires, raspberry plants together make up what we usually call a trellis. With this arrangement of plants, each bush takes up little space and is well illuminated by the sun.

• Annually, from 5 to 10 replacement shoots grow from the base of the bush, in addition, around the bush from the roots, the same number of shoots grows. After wintering, they are revised. Broken ones, as well as thin ones (with a diameter smaller than that of a pencil), are cut out without leaving a hemp, so that there are still only 7 shoots in the bush.

  All shoots are removed in the summer in May-June, that is, immediately after emergence. Thus, all the nutrients and moisture will go to the main bush. Many gardeners, unfortunately, do not remove the shoots in a timely manner, which leads to a decrease not only in a significant part of the harvest, but also in the quality of berries.

• Every year in the fall, 3-4 buckets of humus are introduced under each bush, if not, then 3-4 buckets of peat mixed with 100 g of urea or saltpeter. Keep in mind that the use of nitrogen mineral fertilizers in the spring causes active regrowth of coppice shoots and does little for the development of replacement shoots. If you notice a weak growth of shoots, then at the end of May give each bush a top dressing: a shovel of a fresh mullein and a matchbox of urea or nitrate on a bucket of water. These fertilizers are sufficient for the entire growing season.

• Loosening the soil. Raspberry roots are rather shallow, so the soil is cultivated only to a depth of 5-10 cm and always after fertilization.

• It is important to do autumn (water-charging) irrigation (if the autumn rains in October - early November did not do it for us). For this, the raspberry is simply poured with water. Summer watering is needed only if the soil dries up. Raspberries do not grow in swamps, they do not tolerate waterlogging, places with stagnant water. However, without enough moisture, it takes on some kind of painful appearance.

• Protection against various pests and diseases. The main thing in this business is healthy planting material. Fungal and viral diseases on raspberries are very common, but there is no fight against them in any country in the world. True, the plants are treated with insecticides, but according to a minimal scheme, carefully observing the time and frequency of spraying. Insecticides often have to be used against the raspberry beetle ("wormy berries") and sometimes at the end of summer against the raspberry gnat.

• Large-fruited varieties do not require any additional care, except for the obligatory bending of the branches for the winter so that they lie under the snow, then frosts below -30 ° C do not damage them. The advantages of large-fruited varieties of raspberries are that their berries weigh 4-12 g, and not 2-3 g as in ordinary varieties; on each fruit branch, up to 40-45 or more berries can ripen instead of 8-14.

We all love to give advice, because we all come from the land of advice. Tips are different - useful, useless and even harmful.
In this section, we will give extremely useful advice for summer residents and everyone who has their own country house and plot. Make your garden beautiful and your harvest rich!

Antibacterial cabbage feed

To prepare such a top dressing, you need to dilute forty drops of medical iodine in a bucket of water. Water one liter of top dressing in each cabbage during the formation of its head.

Seed treatment for better germination

For better germination of cabbage seeds, you need to soak them in hydrogen peroxide for 10-12 hours. Peroxide needs to be taken 3 or 4 percent. Also accelerate the germination of tomato and beetroot seeds. You just need to keep them in peroxide twice as long as cabbage seeds. The peroxide should cover the seeds.

Top dressing for onions

Do not throw away the tea leaves after drinking tea, it is better to dry and store it until the time of planting the onions. Are you planting onions? Place a pinch or two of dried tea leaves in the hole. Onion will avoid many of its pronounced diseases.

Potatoes and rain

As soon as the heavy rain passes, immediately go out into the garden to spud the potatoes. Then its yield will increase by 2-3 times, since during hilling after abundant watering, additional trunks are formed on the plant. By the way, you can create artificial rain on the garden bed yourself by thoroughly watering the potato field with a hose.

Banana peel fertilizer

It is in vain that summer residents throw away the banana peel after they have eaten the pulp of the fruit. Its peel contains a lot of useful minerals for better plant growth. Banana peels just need to be poured with water and kept in it until bubbles appear on the surface of the water. Plants in the garden, flowers in the garden, as well as indoor plants should be watered with such mineral-fertilized water. By the way, you can add fresh crusts to old crusts, and also add water to the infusion.

By leaps and bounds!

A small package (100 grams) of yeast (live, not dry for baking!) Should be diluted in ten liters of warm water. It is recommended to water garden and indoor flowers with such feeding once a month. As a result, the plants will grow well.

Garlic to boost immunity

Garlic can not only raise human immunity during epidemics, but also strengthen the immunity of plants against various diseases. It is necessary to prepare an infusion of chopped five garlic cloves and one liter of boiling water. You need to infuse garlic in water with the lid closed for 20 minutes. The result is a strong infusion, which must be diluted with water. A spoonful of this infusion is added to 1 liter of cool water and any plants, both indoor and garden ones, are watered with it as a prophylaxis against various diseases.

Salt and beets

If you went out to check your beet bed in the garden and noticed that its leaves were very red, it means that there is not enough sodium in the soil at your dacha. You need to add it to it. To do this, dilute ordinary coarse salt (200 grams) with 10 liters of water. Sprinkle salted water over the soil where the beets grow.

Top dressing of beets

Before you plant the beets in the garden, place last year's foliage three or four centimeters thick under it. Such natural top dressing will acidify the soil for beets and the latter will not need to be additionally fertilized during the entire summer season.

Vegetable fertilizer for potatoes

At the time of planting, plant any legumes (beans, beans, peas) between the rows of potatoes, around the potato field. Naturally occurring nitrogenous bacteria on the root system of legumes will fertilize the root system of the potato.

Lime, pests and shrubs

Dissolve the lime (wearing gloves on your hands!) In cold water and treat the trunks of shrubs and fruit trees with this solution. This will protect them from unsolicited pests, garden ants and others.

Milk against diseases of cucumbers and tomatoes

Regular milk can protect cucumbers and tomatoes from powdery mildew. To do this, one part of it needs to be diluted in nine parts of water and once a week the crops should be sprayed with this solution. The milk solution covers the foliage of plants with a thin film and prevents it from getting sick.
