An ordinary garden is an amazing place, a special plot of land, which, through the owners' efforts, turns into a practically inexhaustible source of not only vitamins and fresh vegetables, but also a whole range of “by-products” - health, excellent well-being and vigor.

According to experienced gardeners, working in their own garden successfully replaces classes in the gym, brings a lot of pleasure and benefit. In addition, vegetables grown on their own plot differ in taste from those bought in a store or on the market, and, of course, for the better.

Spring work on the land begins with an important task - planning the garden. It would seem that my plot, what I want, is what I plant, and the choice is not too big - you will not turn around too much on the standard six hundred square meters. And yet, the choice of a place for a certain sort of vegetables depends largely on the harvest, so planning a kitchen garden should be approached with great responsibility.

What factors should pay attention to, planning the garden? What vegetables and where best to plant?

Working in the garden is not necessarily hard work and daily chores. Gardening brings a lot of pleasure and benefit

Planning a garden correctly

So, you have already prepared the seeds and even raised seedlings at home. It remains only to decide - where exactly to plant all the plants, choosing the optimal place on your site for certain types of vegetables. You can start planning your garden in early spring, when snow has already completely melted from the site, and the soil has dried out well.

In general, planning a site that a summer resident with years of experience in gardening has been doing looks like this - the owner simply walks along the already arranged paths, leaving sticks and pegs in the ground and mumbling to himself: “Here are two beds of pepper”, “And here will be tomatoes” . In fact, just like that, approach summer cottage gardeners to garden planning only with years of experience on the site. Less experienced gardeners should heed the advice of professionals and approach the planning process of planting vegetables scientifically.

The ideal garden looks exactly like this - even rows of green, healthy plants promising a high yield.

If you first decided to break the garden on a newly acquired piece of land, you will have to take into account several key factors:

1. Side of the world. Experts advise to break the beds for future planting strictly in length from north to south or from northeast to southwest. So planting plants will warm up and illuminate. sunshine   during the day as evenly as possible. It is proved that with this arrangement of the beds the plants are less exposed to fungal diseases. The southern, slightly warmer and better lit side should be given to heat-loving crops, such as beans, tomatoes and cucumbers, and the north - cold-resistant - radish, turnips, and rutabaga. To protect plants from cold winds, on the north side it is better to plant dense rows of corn, sunflower or berry bushes, such as gooseberries or currants.

1. The composition of the soil. If vegetable crops are planted on this site for the first time, it is necessary to study the composition of the soil. If the soil is clay, you will need to pre-add straw manure, sand, compost, sod land and mineral fertilizers to the soil. If the soil is sandy, then peat, manure and mineral fertilizers will be ideal additives. In case of increased acidity of the soil, it is necessary to add lime additives - quicklime or slaked lime, as well as wood ash. Of course, all of the above-mentioned supplements can be added back in the fall, but experts say that the optimum period for adjusting the soil composition is early spring - about a month before planting seedlings and seeds.

1. Illumination. The illumination of the plot can be affected only by cutting down existing trees. Planting seedlings under the lush crowns of apple or pear trees is not recommended categorically. Trees can only grow from the north side of the garden - so they will not cover the plants from the sun's rays and at the same time protect them from the cold wind. If there is a free plot of land on the north side of the house, it is better to plant unpretentious plants there, for example, sorrel or onions, to which excess sun is even harmful. Tomatoes or cucumbers in the shade will accurately wither. It is even better to give such a northern garden under the flowers, since growing vegetables here is rather risky.

1. Relief plot. If the site has an uneven terrain, then in the lowland the soil in the spring will thaw and dry much longer than the ground at higher elevations. In addition, in heavy rain in these areas will be water. That is, you need to take care of the system of drainage grooves, which will help get rid of excess moisture. In such low-lying areas, professionals advise planting cabbage and other moisture-loving plants. But, if in your region the summer is usually dry and hot, then you can plant both tomato and pepper in low-lying areas - in this case you will have to water the seedlings less often.

If on the plot where the garden is planned to be planted, only weeds were growing before and there was a regular lawn, the owners have two ways out: remove the topsoil and weed roots completely, remove it from the plot and add peat, rotted manure to the soil and, if necessary, sand; or simply dig a plot and in the first year plant potatoes here. The first option is too time consuming and expensive, because it is not popular with gardeners. In the second case, in the first year, the potato harvest will be low, but most of the weeds will disappear, and even the most fastidious vegetables can be planted next season.

When you start planning your kitchen garden for the first time, you should take into account the peculiarities of the soil and the location of the beds relative to the cardinal points

Irrigation system

When planning a vegetable garden, you need to pay special attention to the irrigation system. Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and eggplants in the central regions with a rather dry summer have to be watered regularly - literally every three to four days. Therefore, for vegetables it is better to choose areas that can be watered without any special expenses and problems.

The program minimum - to the beds must reach the hoses from the street crane. If you have too large a plot of land, and the tap is located next to the house, then in remote areas it is better to break a garden or plant particularly resistant plants that do not need additional watering. Vegetable garden in this case is better to move closer to the water source.

Remember that experts do not recommend watering the beds directly from the tap. The best option is water that has already been settled, warmed up in the sun, and even better - collected rainwater, or water from a local pond or river. If you want to listen to the advice of professionals, you will need to install next to the beds of a large enough capacity for water - rain or normal, from the tap. Even an old cast-iron or steel bath, a roomy, specially ordered metal tub or a large plastic barrel can become such a tank. In addition, you will need a pump for water, which will be lowered into the tank and will provide excellent pressure when watering. You can, of course, water the beds of the watering can, but this is too long a process.

Another great irrigation system option is drip irrigation. If your site already has such a system, then planting vegetables will have to be “tied” to plots already provided with water.

Do not want to spend a lot of time on watering vegetables manually from a watering can or stand for hours in the garden with a hose in your hands? Take care of the drip irrigation system, which will save both time and money to pay for water supply

Each vegetable has its own place

Deal with the sides of the world, lighting and watering? It remains only to find out all the nuances concerning the compatibility of individual varieties of vegetables and their alternation in your garden. Every experienced summer resident knows that if, for example, potatoes grew on this plot last year, then this year it is worth planting some other vegetables.

So, all vegetable crops can be divided into:

1. Demanding who need a large amount of nutrients. These include cabbage, zucchini, cucumber, pumpkin, tomatoes, peppers and celery.
2. Medium Requirements. Such vegetables need fertilizing only once a year, in contrast to the demanding ones, which have to be “fed” both in spring and autumn. These vegetables include: eggplant, onions, potatoes, carrots, beets, radishes, lettuce, kohlrabi and garlic.
3. Undemanding. Cultures that cost a minimum of nutrients. These are peas, beans, parsley, dill, sage, basil and other seasonings.

In order to properly make a plan for planting seeds and seedlings, the garden should be divided into four sections:

1. One to allocate for perennial plants, for example, strawberries and strawberries, which will have to be transplanted no more than once every three to four years.
2. The second section is allocated for demanding plants.
3. The third - for medium-demand crops.
4. And the fourth, of course, for undemanding plants.

A year later, particularly fastidious plants should be planted on a site where undemanding grew, medium-sized ones - on a plot, where a demanding crop was already harvested, and undemanding, respectively, are sent to the plot, where last-year medium-sized cultivated plants grew.

Such alternation is held every year and allows the soil to relax a bit and get a higher yield.

Different in terms of requirements for plant nutrients must be alternated between themselves when planting a vegetable garden

In addition, planning the location of the beds, it is necessary to take into account the compatibility of plants. Compatibility of cultures is the ability to grow alongside, strengthening, complementing and protecting each other.

So, it is possible to sow onion, garlic or radish between rows of tomatoes. Dill or lettuce will be the ideal “sealant” for carrots or beets. And the rows of potatoes can be combined with the planting of peas, which will be harvested earlier, and “provide” their roots as an excellent fertilizer for potato tubers.

Experts say that the ideal precursors for cabbage are solanaceous, that is, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers or eggplants, as well as cucumber, legumes, or onions.

In turn, it is better to plant cucumber seedlings at the place where pepper or spinach grew last year. The optimal predecessor for carrots and beets are cucumbers, tomatoes and peas.

Another important point is that a different period of ripening and planting of plants makes it possible to get two harvests of different crops on one site. For example, in early spring you can sow onions on a feather or radish, and after harvesting you can plant melons or tomatoes on this plot. After the harvest of garlic or onions is already harvested, winter radish or lettuce will feel great in this area.

Plant compatibility is an important factor in garden planning

Sizes of beds

When planning a garden, do not forget about convenient paths with a width of at least 30-40 centimeters, which will allow you to harvest tomatoes and peppers without harming flowering and fruiting plants.

The optimal width of the beds - 80-100 centimeters. If the bed is wider, it will make it difficult to care for the plants and watering.

If you lay between the beds not just dirt paths, but real paths made of stone or planks, you can harvest even on the rainiest day or immediately after abundant watering, without fear of getting your shoes dirty

In addition, do not forget that cucumbers grow better, bear fruit and take up much less space if you provide them with a support on which they can curl. Collecting cucumbers in this case will be much more convenient. Some varieties of tomatoes, for example, tiny, mouth-watering cherry tomatoes, also need support. Therefore, when planning beds with such high and fragile crops, it is necessary to take care of a fence or grate on which cucumbers and tall tomato seedlings can rest.

High-growing shoots of tomatoes need support, and cucumbers spreading on the ground will take up too much space. Plant them near a hedge, and it will be much nicer to harvest a bountiful harvest, and most importantly - easier!

And finally, two more important points - firstly, in the garden you also need to leave room for the compost heap, where in the fall you will throw off the remnants of the shoots and leaves, which in the future will become an excellent organic fertilizer. A compost pile can be located at the very end of the plot, in the shade, that is, in a place that is not suitable for planting useful plants.

Secondly, most likely, you will build a greenhouse or greenhouse for early vegetables and seedlings. For such a structure, it is also necessary to allocate a suitable place in the sun.

Go to garden planning carefully and seriously, try to place crops with good compatibility alongside, alternate different vegetable families on the same plot, try planting early and late varieties of vegetables on the same bed to get two harvests a year - and even a small the garden will provide your entire family with fresh greens during the warm season, and the pantry will be filled with canned food of its own production in the fall.

If you recently purchased a summer cottage, or, on the contrary, you are experienced gardener , then, before the onset of spring, you start planning - what to plant this year on garden and in the garden. Last spring we managed to plant only greens, vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplants, peppers, carrot , potatoes, corn), sunflowers and berries (watermelons, melons ..) - this was our first harvest in life! Also on the plot we grow trees: walnut, apple, cherry, plum, cherry, mulberry (a very tasty and healthy berry!) And a couple of currant bushes. This year I want to make a variety of available fruit trees and shrubs. Berries and vegetables, too, want more! The first thing I remembered garden blackberry and about lemon and found out how graft of cuttings .
Let's get a look,

that can and should be planted in the spring at his dacha:

Getting a garden with garden   greenery. It never hurts, it will come in handy both fresh and frozen for the winter (by the way, a very good idea, I also froze a few sachets of dill and parsley in the fall and we ate almost fresh greenfinches all winter.) Try to be creative with onion sowing, garlic and other - plant them in a small circle, in a spiral, or in the form of a high pyramid, using steps from pallets, boxes. Do not forget to find a place for lettuce, basil.

Everyone wants to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits during the summer season, stock up on vitamins for the whole year with the whole family. What is to plant? Tomatoes , cucumbers, of course, require attention and care, in most cases they also need greenhouses, but they plant them everywhere. It is not necessary to grow a large amount of each crop. Best of all, little by little, it probably depends on the “gluttony” and the desire to engage in the further rolling of cans with vegetables for the winter.

  What else do we plant spring at the cottage : beets, radishes, peppers, eggplants, carrots, pumpkins, zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, if possible, and other vegetables that can be left out fresh in stores. If you have time, strength and desire (otherwise not worth it), plant potatoes. Watermelons and melons I will definitely plant this year too! Grow 1000 times more tasty shop.
Useful crop compatibility tables in garden :

If you have just purchased a garden plot and a novice in the art of gardening, the question naturally arises what to plant a vegetable garden.

To answer this question is not enough to give a list of vegetables and berries, because the crops cultivated in Russia are many.

So start by answering five questions:

1. What are the preferences in vegetables and berries for you and family members?
2. Do you want to grow crops for storage, canning - with a reserve, or just for the summer-autumn season, to eat fresh produce?
3. Can you take care of the garden every day, every other day or just two days a week?
4. How well is your area lit by the sun?
5. How suitable are climatic conditions for growing vegetables and berries?

Why these five questions? Because all others that may arise are solvable. For example: soil quality is very important for planting a vegetable garden, the proximity of groundwater, but if you like, you can cope with this topic. The soil can be refined, raise the site, provide drainage. But if the territory of the garden is under the shading of tall trees, the sun rarely appears, or only through the shroud of openwork foliage of pines and birches, with all the desire you will not grow all the crops.

Planning a landing

1. Draw a plan of your plot on graph paper, to scale. The format is not less than A3. No need to make a sketch by hand on the knee, make accurate measurements. You will need a tape measure and an assistant.
2. Mark on the plot of the plot all the buildings that are available and planned: a house, a shed, utility rooms, swings, gazebos, a barbecue area or a swimming pool, all flower beds, a compost pile. Separately celebrate the vineyard (if it is or is planned).
3. Make a copy of the site plan, for example, on tracing paper or redraw, copy, as there may be several options.
4. In all the space free from buildings and flowerbeds, select the zones by illumination: the most sunny and shady places. To do this, spend the day and carefully look where the shadow falls from the trees and buildings.
5. Mark the water source.
6. Choose places where you can put greenhouses or greenhouse - this is the widest area. Consider the distance to the track and the aisle. The passage for the car should be at least 50-60 cm, the larger the area, the greater the width of the tracks you can afford. But if the plot is small, it all depends on your appetite: you are ready to do with 30-cm walkways between the beds or you need more to turn around during weeding.
7. If you have compiled a large list of planned plantings in the garden, it is better to make more narrow beds 45-60 cm than wide meters.

The optimal size of the beds

The beds should be planned in such sizes that it was easy to care for them: sow, plant seedlings, weed and stretch with a watering can.

Therefore, the ideal size is a width of 80 cm, length - 3-4m, height 35 cm (for beds with fencing). If you have a lot of helpers of children’s age, for example, on holidays we are helping your grandchildren and children to study, the best width is 70 cm.

With such dimensions, it is convenient for everyone to reach out with a hand on each side of the row spacing to the middle of the bed.

The maximum allowable bed width is 1 m, for cabbages that are planted in two rows you can take 100-120 cm. Row spacing is at least 30 cm, optimally 40 cm, if you need a wheelbarrow to drive to the garden, then 50 cm. where each centimeter is expensive. If your site is quite large, feel free to leave the aisles 60-80 cm wide.

Who needs beds

There are vegetable crops that always grow in a separate territory, each in its own garden. Moreover, some cultures cannot grow even on neighboring beds - see.

But some vegetables or greens do not need a separate corner of the garden, and can be planted to the main crop, it is: radishes, dill, lettuce, beets, turnips, beans.

Radish, dill and leafy greens can be grown as a bed compactor. For example, radishes and lettuce are perfectly combined with carrots. Radishes can also be planted in the garden with kohlrabi cabbage or between tomato bushes.

Beans can be planted on the edge of a potato field or next to tomatoes or cucumbers.

Salad - on the garden with onions, between cabbage bushes or to the cucumbers.

Beetroot grows well on the edge of the beds, especially if they are low, without sides. It can be beds with carrots, cabbage, onions, cucumbers. You can plant a beet curb near the beds with strawberries. Remarkably beet adjacent to grapes.

Grapes generally love some vegetables, and the place next to the vines can be taken: radish, beet, dill, cauliflower, spinach or sorrel.

Raspberries can be planted without beds, for example, along the fence, next to fruit trees, and you can make a separate raspberries - this is not a fenced area, in two or three rows of raspberry bushes, about 70 cm wide, with the installation of a support for tying. Two rows of raspberries can be quite fit on one and a half meters of land, in the middle there is a passage 30 cm wide. And sorrel should be planted next to the raspberries - it does not allow the raspberries to grow like a weed. No vegetables and berries under the raspberry bushes can not be planted.

What to grow in the garden

Here we come to the moment when the beds are laid out, it's time to decide what to plant. We make the wishes of family members and look at the list:

• Tomatoes
• Eggplant
• Bulgarian pepper and spicy
• Cucumbers for canning and for salad
• Beet
• Carrot
• Onions for the winter and for canning
• White cabbage, early, middle, late,
• Cauliflower
• Kohlrabi
• Radish,
• Daikon
• Garlic
• Zucchini
• Squash
• Pumpkin
• Beans
• Sheet Salad
• Head lettuce
• Dill
• Parsley
• Watermelon
• Peas
• Corn
• Early potatoes
• Strawberries
• Strawberry
• Raspberries

Yes, the list came out long ... What to do? And now we need to delete the extra. To begin with, we make a reservation that we grow not for sale, but for ourselves. Commercial garden - this is a completely different article.

Therefore, if the territory of the garden and the planned beds are clearly not enough for the desired list, you need to cross out the superfluous according to the principle of expediency and profitability of cultivation.

For example, potatoes - in order to provide a family with potatoes for the winter, a garden is not needed, but a separate potato field, a plot. But it is quite possible to grow early potatoes, at a time when it is extremely expensive in stores, and in the basement it was already soft and sprouted. In this case, it is enough for you to plant only about a dozen bushes to provide for a month a family of 3-4 people with potatoes (conditionally).

Cross out the list of desired vegetables and berries according to a more convenient principle for you:

• which is the hardest to grow
• which are the cheapest on the market or in the store (easier to buy)
• which require more time than you can give them
• which is more difficult to provide the desired temperature, light and water
• which are incompatible with the other cultures you need

The yield of various garden crops is very different, some occupy a large area, but produce a small crop, for example, peas. The yield is highly dependent on the variety, it takes up a lot of space, and by and large, not everybody can make good peas.

Or corn - takes a decent territory, its yield does not justify, if the plot is small. In addition, few people like corn from vegetables - their grapes and beets do not tolerate.

But radish - culture undemanding and very profitable. Early vegetables are always very expensive, but the most desirable, and such as radishes, combined with many vegetables and berries, are very justified. The same applies to leaf lettuce, basil. Dill in general can not be grown on purpose - it perfectly fills the garden plots with self-sowing, where it is convenient for it.

If you have a young child who is prone to allergies or who for any reason has to go for a diet, you may need to abandon certain crops, such as spices, legumes (except siderats), daikon and allergenic berries, but select a sun bed for watermelons , melons or more beds planted with cauliflower.

Or take a vegetable like eggplant - it's easy to grow it, find a place in the garden too, and it's more profitable to grow than buy - the prices for eggplants are high all year round, and the vegetable goes to a lot of snacks and pickles.

And yet, the main criterion that determines what to plant in the country remains climatic conditions, because it is simply not possible to make a plant in the shadows produce fruit that requires a lot of light. With all the desire, you can not grow watermelons, if the plot is not sunny and warm.

Final garden plan

So, the list is compiled, the possibilities have figured, is it time to plant? No, wait. You want a rich harvest. Do not forget about the compatibility of crops in the garden.

Take the plan-scheme drawn up earlier. Now from the colored paper cut the shapes of the beds of different colors according to the scale of the scheme. Sign and arrange on the diagram as you see fit, not forgetting the orientation: the beds should be located from north to south. Then compare with the crop compatibility table, are all the neighbors friendly?

If there were antagonists next to culture, move the beds on the diagram and select the best combination. If you can not combine some of the vegetables, discard the less necessary. It is better to get a good harvest of one of them than a bad crop or incidence from both.

Do not forget that vegetables and berries compete for moisture, food, light, but there is also a temporary space. Some vegetables may take the beds in turn, giving way to each other. For example, radishes - carrots and onions.

As you remember, we made several copies of the garden plan. Save the first option, and next year make the second option in view of. Perhaps you will give up some vegetables or berries and try others, and maybe just change the beds in some places.

For many centuries of growing vegetables, people have noticed that some vegetables grow well together, and some, on the contrary, hinder the growth of each other. Vegetables, herbs and flowers help each other grow by improving the soil or scaring off pests. Clever landing will provide you with a big harvest.

The choice of neighbors in the garden.

The choice of neighbors in the garden is the true art of garden planning. Each vegetable is planted in the garden is not one, but in the vicinity of another plant companion. Such tactics help minimize the harmful effects of insects and diseases.

Neighborhood rules for gardening. Choosing neighbors in the garden, pay attention to the family of vegetables. Vegetables from the cabbage family, for example, are well planted next to beets and green leafy crops. Some herbs will help deter pests from cabbage. Planted on the same bed with cabbage, mint will improve its taste.

Vegetables can feel not only sympathy, but also antipathy towards each other: some vegetables retard growth and reduce each other's yields. A simple sign presented below will help you find a good neighborhood.

What vegetables grow well on the same bed?

I offer you a brief table of vegetable compatibility. More detailed information - further in the article.

Vegetables	Good neighborhood	Bad neighborhood
Asparagus	Tomatoes	Not
Beans	Corn, celery, savory, cucumbers, radishes, strawberries	Onion and garlic
Beet	Cabbage, broccoli, lettuce, onion, garlic	Beans
White cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts	Beets, chard, potatoes, celery, dill, lettuce, onions, spinach	beans
Carrot	Legumes, Tomatoes	Not
Celery	Beans, Tomatoes, Cabbage	Not
Corn	Cucumbers, watermelons, pumpkin, peas, beans, pumpkin	Tomatoes
Cucumbers	Beans, corn, peas, cabbage	Not
Eggplant	Beans, Peppers	Not
Melon	Corn, pumpkin, radish, zucchini	Not
Bow	Beets, carrots, chard, lettuce, pepper	Legumes
Peas	Beans, cucumbers, turnips, carrots, corn, radishes.	Onion garlic
Potatoes	Beans, Corn, Peas	Tomatoes
Zucchini	Corn, melon, pumpkin	Not
Tomatoes	Carrots, celery, cucumbers, onions, peppers	Corn, Kohlrabi, Potatoes

Other helpful neighbors for vegetables

In addition to the neighborhood of one vegetable crop on the other, it is good to consider other possible neighborhoods - vegetables and flowers, vegetables and herbs. Such combinations on the beds are not only beautiful, but also useful.

Flowers in the vicinity of vegetables.

Good advice: plant a few marigolds in the garden with tomatoes, they scare away the pests. You can decorate the whole garden around the perimeter with marigolds - this will help keep pests at a distance.

Some flowers act as traps for pests, luring insects to themselves. Nasturtiums, for example, are very much loved by a plant louse. These pests will prefer to eat nasturtium, and will not pay attention to the number of growing vegetables.

Vegetables and herbs.

Herbs planted nearby will give your vegetables a more refined taste. They also discourage harmful insects. Rosemary discourages beetles that attack beans. Thyme repels cabbage pests. Onions and garlic repel aphids. Oregano, like marigolds, is a good universal barrier against most insect pests.

When deciding which vegetables to plant next to the garden, one should be guided not only by scientific data, but also by common sense. Lettuce, radishes and other fast-growing plants can be planted between melons or pumpkins. Lettuce and radish ripen before the pumpkin grows. Shade-loving green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and chard, are grown in the shade of corn. Sunflowers also grow well in the vicinity of corn, as their roots occupy different levels in the soil and do not compete for water and nutrients.

Well, let's move from the particular to the whole, and consider the successful and unsuccessful neighbors for each vegetable.

Sometimes plants can be beneficial to each other only at a certain stage of growth. This is a fair statement for some weeds. What can be useful weeds in the garden? Some weeds pull nutrients from deeper soil layers and bring them to the surface. When weeds die and decompose, nutrients become available on the soil surface for vegetables with small roots. That is why some vegetables grow very well in the vicinity of nettles.

	If you are preparing vegetable beds, they should be in places convenient for you. Any vegetables should grow only on the lit area. Long beds are located in the direction of west-east. Never make wide beds for vegetables: it will be difficult to process them. The maximum allowable width should be one and a half meters. The distance between the beds is at least forty centimeters. In addition to the correct location of the beds with vegetables, the summer resident should know what crops he will plant on them next season. Certain cultures take "their" microelements from the earth. Potatoes and cabbage suck in nitrogen and potassium, tomatoes are very fond of phosphorus. In addition, each plant introduces diseases and bacteria to the soil, which retain their viability for several years. Alternate the culture, but try to do it correctly. Early crops (onions, basil and radishes) cannot be planted after the latest vegetables (cabbage, parsley and carrots). During the winter, the soil will not have time to recover, so you will not get a good harvest. No crops of the same species are planted in the same place. Potatoes are not planted after tomatoes and vice versa.
For the normal development of vegetables and obtaining high-quality harvest they need to create favorable conditions. Proper agrotechnology combined with a successful combination of plants will help solve many problems. The data in the table will be useful when placing plants on the site.	Peas, cabbage, radish
At the dacha grown a variety of vegetable crops. They belong to different families, and the landing dates do not match. In small gardens apply compacted cultivation. How to ensure the compatibility of vegetable crops on a single bed in a limited space?	September is the best time for planting bulbs. Most of them require sun and humic permeable soil. Depth of planting depends on the size of the bulb. A simple rule says that you need to plant at a depth of 2-2.5 times larger than the size of the bulb. In light soil, you can plant deeper.
Flowers	You can sow and carrots, especially varieties with shorter roots.
In the second half of May, water lilies can be planted in garden ponds.	Vegetables and greens
Vegetables and greens	The beginning of the month is the deadline for sowing paprika and broccoli seeds for pre-growing seedlings.
If you have a spacious and large plot, let's rest the beds from time to time. Plant wormwood, nettles, marigolds, garlic, shepherd's purse and calendula on depleted soils. In a small area, you should apply the method of mixed planting: plant marigolds, rosemary, basil, chamomile or thyme near the main plant along the edge of the garden. These cultures attract bees, help to reduce the incidence, improve not only the condition of the main culture, but also its taste.	When planning crops, you should consider the time of development of the usable area, height and compatibility of plants in the garden. Perfectly combined carrots and onions. They are placed in rows. Alternate three rows of carrots with four rows of onions. These plants have a positive effect on each other and at the same time protect against pests. Successful will be a trio of plants. This late white cabbage, cabbage lettuce and spinach, which compacted garden beds. You can call other examples of combinations of vegetables that have a good compatibility of plants in the garden. The table will help everyone to find the best pair. For example, early cabbage and celery, which have different planting dates. In early spring, seedlings of the first vegetable crop are planted. Distance when planting early cabbage stand at least fifty centimeters. After three weeks, celery is supplied. Very well combined plants with different ripening terms. Compatibility of vegetables in the garden in this case is based on the fact that early ripening crops are placed on the edge of the beds of plants, the ripening period of which is longer. For example, a combination of planting tomatoes with several rows of dill for greens and onions for a feather, as well as spinach will not prevent the longer development of tomato bushes. The classic combination is corn and curly beans. In this example, one plant serves as a trellis for another.

Each year, before the start of the garden season, you should thoroughly consider the placement of plants in the garden. It is best to make a plan of crops, which is useful for the next season. Various vegetable crops can oppress each other or contribute to the spread of dangerous diseases. However, compatible plants, by contrast, will contribute to better development and protect against pests. In order not to be mistaken, you must follow certain rules.   - Royal Fritillary 15-20 cm

We plan to land at the cottage in the spring

1. How to understand how many plants of one species or another need to be planted in the summer cottage? Experts estimate that for a family of four there will be 2-3 sea buckthorn cottages, a strawberry plantation with an area of ​​30 square meters of beds, a raspberry 12 meters long, eight currant bushes, four cherries, two plums, one pear and four apple trees.

Many plants have a long period of seed germination. For the earlier designation of the rows of such a vegetable culture, quickly germinating and early-ripening plants are used. They allow in earlier terms to begin tillage and agrotechnical measures. An example would be the joint sowing of radish and carrots. While the time comes to ripening of the root, an early and early vegetable has time to ripen and free the area. In addition to radish, lettuce, spinach and dill are used. They are sown on the edge of the cucumber, tomato and pepper beds.

Potatoes, cabbage, legumes

Planting shrubs and trees.

The plot for compacted plantings provides additional nutrition to an increased volume of plants. For this, the soil must be sufficiently fertile and clean. At the beginning of the season plan crop rotation. Plants that were grown last year should not have the same pathogens and pests. At the same time, they should have a beneficial effect on each other, therefore the compatibility of plants in the garden is important. The best predecessors table is the instruction from which to begin planning.

Think Protection

Anna Burmistrova, Troitsk: "My dacha neighbor, under the winter spent planting onions in several tiers. What kind of reception is this? What does he give?"

The table of successful combinations of vegetable crops confirms this statement. Salad and spinach are often recommended for co-cultivation with other vegetable crops.

Sweet pepper

Analyze last year's landings. The right choice will help to avoid many unpleasant moments when growing vegetables.

Multi-tiered planting of vegetables is a famous cultivation method, it saves space and time. So you can plant multi-tiered (Egyptian) onions in 2-3 floors before the frost. This is convenient - all the planting material fits in one bed and everything is done in one sitting.

Belotskyatnikov planted at a depth of 8 cm, snowdrop and saffron - 5-8 cm, cyclamen - 10-20.

Most of the plants get along perfectly on the limited space of the beds. Placing them, takes into account the compatibility of plants in the garden. A table of successful combinations of vegetable crops will help to distribute them correctly. However, we should not forget about the plants that will depress others. These include fennel and wormwood.

Cucumbers, beets, carrots, swede, cabbage

Cultivating any crop should observe crop rotation. The information presented in the table will help to plan the site correctly.

Digging up the soil, pick out the bulbs from the ground along with the roots. Some are divided into parts, while others are not too

Trees

- Take seedlings only from healthy and fruitful annual maternal plants.

You can plant carrots, black and red radishes, beans, kohlrabi, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, leeks. You can still plant a salad.

It is necessary, of course, to take into account the height above sea level, and the geographical location, and the microclimate of the garden. In warmer areas, plants that are more difficult to grow can be planted at the beginning of the month, in more severe climates, wait until the end of May.

In a greenhouse in non-frost conditions, it is possible to plant pre-grown tomato seedlings.

You can plant onions and garlic.

February

For these vegetable crops, it is necessary to allocate a separate corner of the garden, which will ensure privacy.

Beetroot

Vegetable culture

Large ones that are not used for food are left to plant intact. They choose a spade furrow on a bed 10 cm deep. Sand is poured at the bottom, the onion with roots is immediately laid and covered with a 5-cm layer of fertile soil.

The end of summer is suitable for breeding ornamental conifers, such as spruce, thuja, juniper, yew and other species. Take the end branches with a heel and remove the needles from them 2 cm above. Put the cuttings into the substrate from a mixture of peat and sand (you can add crushed polystyrene), keep it constantly wet.

September

In July, you can vegetatively propagate juniper, thuja, cypress and yew. Cut 10 cm longs together with the heel - the place by which they are attached to the branch. And plant them in a breathable substrate. Keep the substrate moist.

June is the right time for cutting ornamental shrubs. In the morning, cuttings should be planted in a light substrate at a depth of 2 cm. Green cuttings reproduce well, for example, such plants as Japanese maple, lilac, cotoneaster, magnolia, viburnum, hydrangea, heather, and clematis.

It is already possible to grow in the open air and thermophilic greens, basil or perilla.

You can already plant all the perennial flowers blooming in summer and autumn. You can also multiply them vegetatively.

In March, it is desirable to pre-grow seedlings of annual flowers that have a longer growing season or are more sensitive to spring frosts. These include marigolds, Chinese asters, delosperm, immortelle officinalis, ghazania, and carnation Chinese. Seeds are planted in a semi-warm greenhouse or in pots and placed on a windowsill.

In February, it is time to plant seeds for pre-growing seedlings. Such early sowing should begin with early lettuce, celery, broccoli, eggplant and pepper. To harvest the early harvest in February, you can start growing tomatoes, onions and parsley.

When it is raining and cold outside the windows, experienced summer residents do not sit at home by the TV. Usually in late autumn, they begin to plan a landing in the country. They know that with the arrival of spring a lot of cases will appear on the site, so they want to reduce the number of necessary cases. What and where to plant? For experienced gardeners, this question is not rhetorical. Even if you are not going to plan the planting of fruit trees and shrubs, you will have to competently place vegetables in a small area. Now on the Internet you can find several programs that will help to make a plan of the site. However, this is not all the concerns that will affect you.

Umbrella

Solanaceae

Large bulbs are scattered over the two-layer landing on the third floor and they are covered with sand to a height of 2 cm. Then

Vegetables

August

Perennials blooming in spring are best transplanted and propagated until the middle of the month.

This month is suitable for the reproduction of greenery: it is enough to fill the substrate with the lower twigs of greenery.

This is the ideal planting time for rock garden plants.

At the end of March, in good weather, you can start planting ornamental perennials that bloom in the summer. They can be propagated in a vegetative way and transplanted.

In a warm or semi-warm, heated by manure or compost greenhouse, you can plant early varieties of radish. Foil or white non-woven material can be used as insulation material.

Apple tree on the site

Peas, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes

Legumes, cabbage, cucumbers

The whole bed is laid with dried stalks of Jerusalem artichoke, maize, raspberry, nettle. When the cold hits, they take off the stems, wrap this “layer cake” with humus by 4-5 cm. Then the stems are returned to the place to hold the snow.

Even at the beginning of this month, it is still possible to plant vegetables for the harvest of this year. Early radish and early lettuce, also arugula, will have time to grow.

Vegetables

In June, you can sow biennial plants: pansies, forget-me-nots, daisies, carnations. Spread a thin layer of substrate on the tiny seeds. Pansies must be kept in a dark place before they sprout.

Flowers

You can plant ornamental grass, bamboo, fern and new lawn.

Trees

In warmer areas at the end of February, you can begin to grow potatoes for spring planting. Place it in a breathable box or basket so that as many as possible the peephole looks up and put the box in a bright place where the temperature will be from 10 to 15 ° C.

At the new site, planning begins with a plan of planting shrubs and trees. This is a very important aspect, because trees need a large area, and their crowns cast shadows. Consider all such nuances, as well as the location of summer houses, and then you will not have to observe your mistakes, engage in uprooting and replanting shrubs in two or three years. When choosing varieties of fruit-bearing trees, you need to pay attention to the half-dwarfs and dwarfs. With such plants it is very convenient to harvest, and they bear fruit much earlier than tall trees.

Repeated growing plants in one place is also undesirable.

Cabbage

The feather appears above the surface in stages: first, parts of the bulbs germinate, as they are closer to the sun, then whole bulbs planted more deeply, and only the bulbs peck through in a month - they are small. So u

You can sow spinach, parsley and chervil, they will yield young leaves in early spring.

You can still sow lettuce, especially field salad, it gives a crop before the first frost. For the autumn harvest of young leaves, you can sow and spinach.

In the second half of May, decorative flower pots can be brought to the street. They can be planted in purchased or grown seedlings. For sunny places suitable geranium, petunia, lobelia, purslane, as well as balcony tomatoes and greens. In shady places, you can grow begonia, ivy and mint.

Trees

It is time to plant fruit trees and shrubs. In spring, you can plant all fruit trees, an earlier planting period will benefit the usual root trees. For apricot, peach and nectarine, spring planting is more suitable than autumn.

Flowers

During the winter period of the year, it is worth thinking about those devices that will help you get rid of unwanted pest guests: animals, insects and even people. Make a simple wired alarm around the perimeter, which will give the desired signal to the watchman. Save up for the winter money for useful protection devices, for example, such as the trap or mosquito killer.

In the cultivation of vegetable crops information is needed on their mutual influence. To avoid adverse neighborhoods, you need to know exactly about the features of vegetable crops. Acceptable growing conditions for plants that will be combined should be similar. This will help to accurately plan the entire area under the garden and achieve successful cultivation of various plants in compacted beds. In addition, individual crops not only have a beneficial effect, but also deter pests. Quite important is the compatibility of plants in the garden.
