Without beets there is no garden
This popular root vegetable differs from all others in that, apart from watering, it does not require any care. There is one condition - the soil should not be acidic. And this problem is easy to fix. She likes the sun, but doesn't mind partial shade either. Sometimes, instead of allocating a separate area for it, it is planted along the edge of areas sown with other crops.
Seeds are planted in the spring in open ground. After the emergence of seedlings, the planting must be thinned out. Removed sprouts are transplanted to other places. Beetroot requires abundant watering only during periods of drought. In normal mode, it is enough to water it no more than once every three days.
Planting green beans
Green beans, at a minimum cost, can provide food for a family all summer and autumn. And if you freeze it, it will last until the new year. And all this from four, maximum six bushes.
To plant bush beans, there is no need to use high trellises, and their agricultural technology is very simple. To prevent the bushes from being damaged by frost, planting is done at the beginning of the summer season. Seeds are soaked in water for 24 hours before planting.
Planting is carried out according to the following scheme: thirty centimeters between the bushes, fifty centimeters between the rows, three centimeters deep. The harvest can be harvested within a month. The main thing is to collect beans in a timely manner, without allowing the seeds in the pods to ripen. If this rule is not neglected, the fruiting process will continue until the beginning of autumn.
It is enough to water the planting once a week. Once every two weeks you need to loosen the soil between the rows. You can cover the subsidence with mulch. Then there will be no need for loosening and you can water the bushes less often.
