Garden

It seems that with the development of the economy and the emergence of super megamarkets, the garden and vegetable garden on the windowsill should by themselves disappear from the apartments of the townspeople. However, this occupation did not go away.

As before, the townspeople are engaged in window gardening. In addition, the bookstore counters were filled with practical guidelines, how to grow a whole garden and a garden at home, and then get a good harvest. On the windowsill you can grow everything from simple greenery to exotic mangoes. No one will be left without a crop. The fruits of their labor will be able to get both beginners and experienced fans of plant growing on the windowsill.

The garden and the garden at home is a very pleasant experience, especially in winter and spring, when you want not only to taste fresh gifts of nature, but also to look at the colors of greens or tomatoes. Of course, all this can be easily bought at the bazaar or in supermarkets. But there is nothing more pleasant when the first spring greens ripens right on your windowsill. It can be onions, parsley, dill, and even lettuce leaves.

The desire to have a personal mini-kitchen garden on the windowsill is associated not only with gastronomic desires. A garden or vegetable garden on the windowsill is a great way to dispel the seasonal longing for natural colors and warmth. By the way, domestic plant growers claim that there is nothing super complicated in the management of gardening on the windowsill. The whole garden is placed in containers, which will need to be placed closer to the source of natural light. Almost any plant grows well in the room, filling it with a delicious aroma. With proper care, you can even get a generous harvest.

To create a garden or garden on the windowsill, you need to purchase some tools and gardening items:

  1. Containers;
  2. Soil for planting flowers and vegetables;
  3. A medium-sized watering can, an atomizer for some plant species;
  4. Fertilizer for flowers and vegetables;
  5. Special lamp;
  6. Lopatochka and others.

Work begins with the filling of containers with soil mixed with fertilizer. Then the soil can be slightly soaked. Beginners can first plant the seeds of greenery. Dill, parsley and onions are the most unpretentious, in addition, you can quickly see the results of their new activities. Greens can be sown together, but it is better to plant the seeds separately. Seeds on top are covered with little earth. In order to accelerate the process, the soil can be covered with cellophane. So you can keep moisture and heat in the ground. Containers will need to be placed for 2-3 days in a dark space, and then moved to a window sill.

The subsequent cultivation of greenery and care of plantings will consist only of regular watering, as well as the addition of fertilizer to the garden. However, the greenery on the windowsill is not grown in such sizes as on natural beds. After the height of the greenery reaches 8 centimeters, it can be cut.

More experienced domestic plant growers are engaged in growing ornamental plants on the windowsill. They even over time turn their balconies and kitchens into mini-gardens, where the most incredible exotic and rare flowers grow. Today you can already meet in the apartments walls, fully entwined with ornamental plants. It's nice when fresh balconies, bright flowers or juicy fruits grow on the balconies, in the loggias and the kitchen. All this, undoubtedly, pleases the eye and warms the soul. At first there was just a window sill with several flower pots, and gradually it turns into a paradise.

Such an exercise strengthens and general well-being, improves mood and treats depression. If children live in the house, they are attached to nature and beauty from a young age. Although not everyone recognizes the salutary and useful influence of the mini garden in the house or doubts the success of such a passion. Not everyone can grow fruits and flowers in the room. Therefore, you can first try to grow plants on the windowsill in the office or production room.

The garden on the windowsill is still not a tribute to tradition or fashion, but a simple need for people to become closer to nature. It is known that two centuries ago roses and lemons were grown in the rooms. Roses grew in housewives in European houses, and lemons and tangerines on the windowsill were grown in Ossetia. After there were greenhouses and greenhouses, perhaps the owners of winter gardens, their ideas about creating a greenhouse, and picked up when they saw the garden on the windowsill in winter. Today, in modern greenhouses grow strawberries, peaches, watermelons, as well as exotic fruits: pineapples, kiwi, bananas or mangoes.

Today, growing on the windowsills of unusual plants is becoming popular. For example, home gardeners began to take a great interest in planting decorative fruits and vegetables. These fruits are inedible, they are planted only to make them happy. For example, many lovers began to plant decorative tomatoes. They are very similar to our usual tomatoes, but have different colors, a pleasant aroma and an unusual taste. Decorative tomatoes are very small in size. Ripe decorative tomatoes can have not only traditional red color, but yellow and orange colors. Such a natural tomato will certainly please not only the owners of the house, but also their guests. Decorative tomatoes are fertilized in a classic way, that is, tea brewing. But you also need to fertilize tomatoes in moderation, excessive fertilization and frequent watering can attract fruit fly. This gnats quickly multiplies in warmth and humidity. After the appearance of the larvae in three days, the room will literally be filled with flying mosquito, creating discomfort for all the inhabitants of the house. It is important to remember that Drosophila is afraid of cold. To get rid of pests in winter, you can take containers with tomatoes on an open balcony or open windows in a room where decorative tomatoes grow. But if there are larvae, then you can get rid of them only with the help of chemical preparations. Chemical sprays must be used very carefully, because they pose a danger to people, and especially to children.
