Aunt Tanya's Tips
An expert in country gardening, Tatyana Kudryashova, whose advice is very popular with northern summer residents, is a private guest of programs on Krasnoyarsk TV and radio. Most of the Krasnoyarsk residents are interested in the question of how to grow potatoes, get a big crop and protect the fruit crop from its main pest - the golden nematode. Tatyana Kudryashova claims that the nematode may be the reason for the low potato yield. It is able to dry the tops completely, and this is the first signal about the presence of a pest.
In order to recognize the golden nematode, Aunt Tanya advises pulling out a potato bush. If it is affected, the roots will be strewn with small balls of whitish-brown or golden color. Nematode larvae are able to develop in potatoes and stems. If this happens, the potato will be covered with bulges that look like warts. The expert draws attention to the bad habit of summer residents: plant potatoes every year in the same place. Tatyana Kudryashova claims that this cannot be done! Crop rotation will help stop the golden nematode. This means that it is necessary to plant vegetables on the potato field every four years.
A country expert advises paying attention to potato varieties that are resistant to this pest. They produce a special substance that prevents the larvae of nematodes from destroying the crop. Tatyana Sergeevna recommends summer residents to sow rye on the potato plot until September fifteen, and to spring seedlings in the spring. This saves from the nematode. You need to collect seeds from the strongest potato bush after flowering.
Garden in the North
Gardening and growing vegetables in the northern regions of the Russian Federation is a difficult task that the most persistent and decisive summer residents can cope with. Tatyana Kudryashova, whose summer cottages are sure to be useful to Siberians, recommends paying attention to unpretentious root vegetables. For example, a carrot is a plant that needs thirteen hours of light day to bloom and bear fruit. She loves light, warm, loose soil, rich in humus, tolerates frosts, and is resistant to drought. It should be watered only in the dry summer! The expert recalls that carrots emerge for a long time, do not tolerate the soil after parsley and beans. Plant seeds in rows to a depth of two centimeters, after soaking in cold water for a day, in late April or early May.
Floristry
Tatyana Kudryashova, a florist and summer cottage expert, says that the northerners need to work hard to turn the country into a flower paradise. Tropical plants in the Krasnoyarsk Territory do not grow well, because they cannot tolerate cold, so you have to look for a plant substitute suitable for the northern climate. Spring perennials, for example, Arabis, are suitable for decorating a summer cottage area. It blooms from May to mid-June. Aunt Tanya recommends paying attention to the awl and phlox phlox. When choosing seeds or root flowers for a summer cottage, remember that summer in the north is short.
Recommendations to the northern summer residents
