Should I sow old seeds?

In order to get a harvest - definitely, Not worth it!

old seeds Costs sow only if seed is needed To restore the variety. You can try, but not sure if it will work...

What happens if you sow very expired seeds?

Recorded March 14, 2015 of the year. The settled clear days, with the sun starting to warm up, urged me to get out to the country for the weekend. As it usually happens, despite the fact that we have already laid down on Friday traffic jams, we still arrived later than planned. Evening, in a warming house, condensate on all windows and other glass surfaces, and the children are over the soul: “When will it be possible to turn on the TV?” And on its screen drops of condensate, like after rain. Well, without thinking twice, he took and took the TV to warm up in the bath, where the temperature was already approaching 60 degrees. It was then that the “treasure” was discovered, a bag with packages of vegetable seeds lying under the TV, including tomato seeds. « Early 83«, up to 2012.
After such a find, of course, I wanted to revive the “Early-83” overdue for three years ...

March 23, 2015 Soaked tomato seeds varieties Pepper, Thumbelina, Early 83 and seeds of hybrids F1 Samara and F1 Leopold (growing Moon in the sign of Taurus - Lunar calendar, March ( 2015 )).

25.03.2015 Sowing was carried out with precise deepening of tomato seeds Early 83 . (The date of sowing is the moment of soaking the seeds, i.e. the moment of their bio-activation).

02.04.2015 On this day, several appeared at once at the F1 Samara tomatoes and at the "Early 83". Even though tomato seeds Early 83 were soaked for a long time, and shoots made their way out of the ground for a long time, some still ended up with “clothespins” from unopened seed shells.

Sowing tomatoes for seedlings from 03/23/2014 (Moon in the sign of Taurus)

Tomato variety Seed germination, %
Thumbelina 97%
Pepper 1 100%
F1 Samara 100%
F1 Leopold 81%
Early 83 59%
Pepper 2014 80%

According to the results of the germination calculation, it turned out that only a little more than half of the seeds germinated in the "Early 83". In addition, it must be said that the seedlings rose very unevenly, and in addition to the “clothespins”, there are simply obvious freaks among them, but anyway, for the sake of interest, they were picked into separate cups.

14.05.2015 In the evening we went specially to plant the second batch of tomatoes and peppers. Peppers planted in a greenhouse. Tomatoes are planted both in the greenhouse (F1 Samara and F1 Leopold) and in open ground ( Early 83 , Pepper, Thumbelina).

The summer was cold, the tomatoes were in open ground grew poorly, with regard specifically to tomatoes of the Early 83 variety - Almost all of them turned out to be empty flowers, with ovaries, only three tomatoes remained ... (then a fourth was found)

12.08.2015 They came here to pick tomatoes. During the week of warm days, the tomatoes made up for what seemed to be a two-week lag in development, which lasted all summer, and thanks to the fact that the tops were broken off a little earlier, they also turned out to be larger than usual ... And the greenhouse finally “blushed”. As a result, the first harvest of tomatoes in the greenhouse turned out to be one of the most abundant in recent years ...
They also collected the largest tomatoes growing "on the street", but here, in terms of harvest, there is nothing to brag about yet ...

Among the tomatoes harvested on the street, there were also tomatoes from Early-83, but not a single normal one was found among them (photo 1)

Photo 1. This is Ku-ka-re-ku shown by tomatoes grown from expired seeds ...

Looking at these tomatoes (photo 1), doubts arise: “Will the Early 83 grow out of them next year?” Comparing with normal tomatoes of this variety (photo 2), you involuntarily come to the conclusion: "We need one more qualifying sowing ..."

23.08.2015 For the third harvest, the newly grown tomatoes were only enough for a bucket, the return on cucumbers is also rapidly falling - the nights have become cold. The first tomatoes fell ill on the streets, unfortunately, these are “Pepper-shaped”.

30.08.2015 Before the start of the school year, we try to collect and take out most of the crop, because, for a long time, with an overnight stay, it’s usually impossible to get out to the dacha ... We also decided to collect tomatoes and remove the tops from all street tomatoes. During the removal of the tops, it turned out that the “Pepper-shaped” as a source of the disease were not justly accused: the first to fall ill was a non-standard copy of the “Early 83”, which was identified by microscopic tomatoes with constrictions.

This last fact tipped the scales in favor of closing down my private varietal seed resuscitation program Early 83.

No wonder there is such a saying: "What you sow, you will reap."

This summer turned out to be very rainy, precipitation falls almost every day, the groundwater level has risen to a maximum value, some garden plots have been flooded, and summer residents are already sounding the alarm - will the crop grow and what will it be like under such conditions?

Unfortunately, saving what remains under water is quite problematic, since the roots of plants, being in stagnant, oxygen-deprived water for a long time, suffocate and die.

From waterlogged soil, intensive evaporation of moisture occurs, its condensate settles on the leaves and stems of plants and is kept in such a drip-liquid state for many hours. During this time, in such a favorable environment, pathogens can germinate and give an outbreak such dangerous diseases like phytophthora, scab.

If your site is more or less dry, then the only thing that can be advised is to loosen the earth between the beds, so the earth will dry out faster. You need to loosen at least 5 cm in depth, thereby you will help the top layer of soil breathe and ventilate better.

Potatoes and vegetables

Many gardeners, in order to save at least some part of the crop, began to dig potatoes. Storage dug out ahead of schedule potatoes are not suitable, as their skin is too thin. The slightest damage to the tubers can subsequently lead to their decay and damage to all stocks for the winter. If you are in doubt, just try to dig up one or two bushes and see how ripe the tubers are. Having found potatoes of a sufficiently large size with a dense skin in the hole, you can start harvesting the entire crop.

If the potatoes were harvested in rainy weather, then the tubers are best washed first in a weak solution of potassium permanganate (1 g per 10 liters of water), and then dried thoroughly under a canopy, preferably in a draft or with forced blowing (ware potatoes are kept in the dark).

Dried potatoes are laid out in bulk (with a layer of no more than half a meter) or put in bags in a dark place for a couple of weeks - for the so-called treatment period, during which the peel of the tubers will become denser and diseases, if any, will have time to appear. After the treatment period, which lasts a total of 40 to 45 days, the potatoes will need to be sorted again, removing infected or damaged tubers. After that, you can lay the potatoes for storage. During this time, the temperature in the storage is gradually reduced from 15 - 17 °C to 3 °C.

Long rains destroy the crop of tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetable crops. Getting wet is very bad for them. Outbreaks of specific diseases are possible.

If your site is located where the groundwater is above 50 - 70 cm, or the garden is flooded with rain or melt waters, or excess water may accumulate in the soil for another reason, you definitely need to lay drainage and drainage grooves-channels, and you need to make ridges or ridges for planting potatoes.

Fruit and berry crops

No less destructive is the high level of groundwater for the garden. Each fruit and berry culture imposes its own requirements on the level of groundwater. This primarily depends on the depth of its root system. For an apple tree, the groundwater level should be no closer than 2.5 - 3 m from the surface. Similar requirements are imposed by pear, cherry, sweet cherry, plum and apricot. Berries are characterized by a shallower root system than that of fruit trees. Therefore, raspberries, currants and gooseberries can be planted in areas with a groundwater level of up to 1.5 m. For strawberries, a groundwater level of 0.8 - 1.0 m from the soil surface is acceptable .

If in your garden the groundwater level in a rainy summer has risen to a critical level of 1 - 2 m below the soil surface and stays that way for one and a half to two months, large fruit trees may die. Therefore, when laying out a garden in such areas, it is imperative to install a manhole to monitor the level of groundwater, and good drainage, which will discharge their excess. In such cases, it is recommended to plant trees on mounds or rollers from the earth, which is taken from the arable horizon.

It's only summer and spring waiting, and autumn and winter always come unexpectedly. There is not a single berry in the garden, garlic and onions have been removed, cucumber lashes have withered. But the August rains ruined the plans of many summer residents.

Some still cannot remove potatoes, carrots and beets. The correspondent of "ML" found out what can be done at their summer cottage even in wet weather.

DIGGING THE SECOND BREAD

“If your potatoes have been sitting in the swamp for more than two weeks, they need to be harvested urgently! - insists the candidate of agricultural sciences Alexander Kabunin. - But there are two problems: potatoes can suffocate or get late blight.

Therefore, for a test, dig out a couple of tubers: if there are white spots (“lentils”) on them, it means that the plant does not have enough air and it begins to rot.

But if blue spots appear on the tubers, then such potatoes will definitely not be stored - they must be immediately dug up and destroyed.

According to Alexander Anatolyevich, after such a heavy harvest, the tubers must go through a treatment period of 20-24 days. During this time, wounds will heal on them, excess moisture will leave them.

And the expert advises during harvesting not to clean the potatoes from the ground. Let it be better in lumps, and during drying it will disappear by itself.

Spread the crop in a thin layer in a dark, ventilated, dry area. And after it dries, sort it out and send it to the cellar.

PREPARE FOR SOWING

“September is the time for secondary landings! - the host of the Our Dacha program on Channel 11 Galina Ablynina is sure. - As the gardeners say, clean with one hand, and this with the other.

Before winter, you can plant not only garlic, but also radishes, turnips, turnips, beets, carrots, parsley, celery and dill.

Before sowing, carefully loosen the soil, cover with fertilizers. Dig the earth deeper, cultivate the surface layer with a rake, draw grooves up to 2.5 deep and 3 cm wide across the ridges.

Sow dry seeds in them - about 1.5 times more than during spring sowing. Sprinkle the grooves with sand or peat and level with humus. Before frost, the seeds will swell, seedlings will not appear, but in the spring they will immediately move to growth.

Some gardeners are trying to plant even potatoes before winter. In this case, you need to put straw manure or just straw or grass on the bottom of the groove, and cover the tubers with earth on top.

But this method is only suitable for late varieties, and the tubers need to be taken medium-sized, and before planting, green them in the sun: this way the seed will become frost-resistant.

DO TREES

“In rainy weather, it's time to treat trees,” says Elena Khramtsova, chairman of the regional Union of Russian Gardeners. - Clear the trunks of trees from dead bark, heal wounds and small hollows (large ones are already useless to heal).

Clean the hollow to living wood, disinfect the walls and bottom with a 3% solution of copper sulphate or a 5% solution of ferrous sulphate.

Clog the hollow tightly with a thick solution of a mixture of lime, cement and sand (1: 1: 6), cover the near-stem circles with peat and humus to protect the roots from freezing.

It is not worth whitewashing tree boles, since with such heavy rains the upper protective layer will be washed off. Better to do it in the spring.

Do not spray trees with chemicals from lichens and mosses: this reduces the winter hardiness of the plant. Leave this operation until warm.

Remove or burn brushwood and branches so as not to attract mice to the garden. To get rid of rodents, scatter blackroot seeds around the area - they cause mice a terrible itch.

And now is the time to sprinkle chopped eggshell: this is good feeding It also reduces the acidity of the soil.

Prepare holes for trees and shrubs: the roots of the seedling should lie freely there, without bending. The standard dimensions of the pit for an apple tree are approximately 100 by 100 cm, 60 by 60 cm are enough for bushes.

When digging, fold the top layer to one side, and the rest of the soil to the other. Mix the second pile with fertilizers (2-3 buckets of humus, 250 g of superphosphate, 150 g of potassium sulfate) and pour it back into the pit, after loosening its bottom and sticking a stake in the center to tie up a young seedling.

In about a month it will be possible to plant trees. In a hole two-thirds full, you need to rake the earth to the middle to make a mound. Place a seedling on it, straighten the roots and cover with top soil.

Make sure that the place where the roots connect to the trunk is left free for a couple of centimeters.

I also really like peonies.
While serving in the D-East (Primorsky Territory), for the first time I saw a wild peony - a milky-flowered peony (Paeonia lactiflora) directly in nature. When a milky-flowered peony blooms on the slopes of the hills, this is SOMETHING. Naturally, when transferring to Moscow, he could not help but take such a handsome bush with him. As it turned out, in central Russia, the peony feels great, and in gardens with minimal care, it blooms even more abundantly and better than in nature.
The flowers of the wild (species) peony lactiflora are non-double, cup-shaped, white color. At the beginning of dissolution, they may have light pink tints, which disappear as they bloom. Stamens golden yellow. Throws out buds in two orders. The size of the flower is 9-13 cm - the first and 8-10 cm - the second order. The spicy aroma is not just strong, but O-O-Very strong. On the scale of measuring the aroma of roses, it pulls on all five clouds !!! One flower cut into a vase is enough for a persistent aroma to spread throughout the apartment. The flowering of a whole bush is sometimes noticeable from a distance of 20-25 m.

The shape of the bush is very decorative, ideally hemispherical, reminds me of a "turtle". Its decorative effect is preserved even after flowering, while the foliage gradually turns purple.

Now I have 18 bushes of various (specific and varietal) herbaceous peonies growing on my site. Unfortunately, I DO NOT SEE them as full-fledged, companion roses (at our latitude). "Companion" (in my opinion) must meet at least two requirements. The first is to emphasize or improve the decorative effect of the “partner”, and the second is not to oppress the “partner”.
At the first request - a clear mismatch between the peaks of flowering of these two groups of plants. Random "intersections in time" of the flowering of some and the beginning of flowering of others (as this year) is not an indicator.
According to the second requirement - the root system of pions is very powerful and branched, squeezing out competitors. Planting such a “companion” in close proximity (for example, in order to cover the “legs”) will definitely not benefit the rose. Also, the powerful foliage of the peony bush, which prevents air ventilation, will contribute to the development of fungal diseases (in the damp conditions of my site - for sure).

At one time, I decided to propagate the wild milky-flowered peony Paeonia lactiflora by sowing its seeds, because there were many who wanted to get it from me in their garden (plucking from the root does not help matters, but you can sow a SPECIFIC plant). Received about 30 seedlings. Most of the grown seedlings distributed. I left 7 pieces for myself ... But I didn’t take into account that most of all varietal herbaceous peonies (and there are a lot of them growing in neighboring areas) are hybrids and descendants of the wild lactiflora peony, and therefore easily interbreed with their progenitor. Thus, all my seedlings turned out to be pollinated spontaneous hybrids. And, as it turns out, everyone is different. Later he gave his friends “in good hands” 3 more unremarkable hybrid varieties, leaving himself the 4 that he liked the most.

Meet:
The first hybrid variety is "Pinkish".

An almost complete copy of the species Paeonia lactiflora, literally in all respects. The difference is only in a more pinkish (in the cold spectrum) and stable color of the petals (by 1-2 tones). At first, he took it for a purely specific one.

The second hybrid variety is “With a pink center”. My favourite.

It has a pronounced main flower on the shoot (the largest, double) and a little higher and later flowers of the second order (usually 3, smaller and non-double) with a very decorative pink center surrounded by golden yellow stamens. The color of the petals is light pink. The shape of the bush is elongated upwards (as in cultivars). The aroma is powerful, in strength and taste, like that of the species Paeonia lactiflora.

The third hybrid variety is "Water lily".

It has a pronounced main flower on the shoot (the largest, double) and a little higher and later flowers of the second order (usually 3, smaller and semi-double) with a center surrounded by golden yellow stamens. The main flower, as a rule, has a pronounced "water lily", composed of the central petals. The color of the petals is pure white. The shape of the bush is elongated upwards (as in cultivars). The aroma is powerful, in strength and taste, like that of the species Paeonia lactiflora. Unfortunately, the variety turned out to be the most capricious to weather conditions of all hybrids. For all the years (7-8 adult years) fully, decoratively and powerfully flourished only twice.

The fourth hybrid variety is "White semi-double".

It has a pronounced main flower on the shoot (the largest, double) and a little higher and later flowers of the second order (usually 3, smaller and semi-double) with a center surrounded by golden yellow stamens. The color of the petals is pure white. The shape of the bush is elongated upwards (as in cultivars). Of all the hybrids, flowering is the most powerful. The aroma is weak, spicy. By strength, only two clouds on the scale of roses.

The fifth and sixth hybrid varieties are "Small-flowered".
Two very similar hybrids. The shape of the bush is almost a complete copy of the species Paeonia lactiflora. The flowers of both hybrids are also similar to the species, but noticeably smaller and collected in clear inflorescences. The color of the petals is pure white. The aroma is strong (three clouds), tart, but less pleasant than that of the species Paeonia lactiflora.
Given to neighbors "in good hands."

The seventh hybrid variety is "Pink Terry".
A copy of a varietal pink peony growing nearby on the plot (whose variety is not determined). The only difference is the colder color of the inner petals (literally half a ton) and denser and feathery foliage. The aroma is almost non-existent. In cool years, it blooms clearly more modestly than its pink varietal twin.
Given to neighbors "in good hands."

The information is posted for those wishing to personally experiment.

All peony bushes, for the reasons mentioned above, grow on my site at some distance from roses.

General information and history of Anapa

Anapa... Who doesn't know Anapa? How, we heard, we know, we have been, and even - we love! We love from the earliest barefoot childhood, - you will say and you will be absolutely right. The first acquaintance with the sea, the first vivid memories of childhood, a joint family vacation as a symbol of a real friendly family, sandboxes, Easter cakes, shell patterns on the shore ... And now, when you grew up and started a family yourself, the first place where you take your little children is she, good old Anapa, who always welcomes all guests cordially.

Anapa beach

Why is Anapa so remarkable? What has it been attracting to itself for many centuries? What attracts thousands and thousands of people who are so eager to return to this city again? Of course, these are the wonderful sandy beaches of the Anapa coast, beautiful natural forests and man-made parks, the healing sea air of the coast, unique mineral springs, special geographical position cities.

To more accurately characterize Anapa as a city or town, let's say just three words. Three keywords, which completely determine the local specifics, create an atmosphere, influence the nature, type of activity and occupation of its inhabitants, determine the place of Anapa in the ranking of coastal cities. So, Anapa is a children's seaside resort!

In the southwest of the Black Sea coast of Russia, where the spurs of the great Caucasus Mountains join the Taman Peninsula, there is an ancient beautiful city called Anapa. In those places, the mountains of the Caucasus are no longer so steep and high, and therefore the sea air masses mix with the sultry air of the Taman steppes. There is no that high damp suffocating heat, so characteristic of the rest of the coast of the Caucasus. The air is drier - and therefore more healing. The summer heat in these regions is not as fierce as it can be in the southern regions, because the sea softens it with its cool, beneficial breezes.

The sea here is shallow, the famous sandy beaches are vast and cozy, the beautiful bay attracts with its convenient location. If we turn to the numbers, they are impressive: the length of the Anapa beaches is more than 40 km of sandy and more than 10 km of pebble beaches! Thanks to its special location on the map, the presence of the sun, mountains and sea, Anapa is one of the top three resort cities in Russia. Every year, almost 4 million tourists come to these parts to relax, improve their health, swim in the sea, sunbathe, visit numerous sights, drink healing mineral water from sources, replenish the supply of vitamins in the body by tasting southern fruits. As a result, our story about the city of Anapa will be based on the resort features of the region. Because they determine everything: history, the nature of the population, its occupations, economy, infrastructure.

Anapa is such a pleasantly favorable region that even people in ancient times could not bypass it. The climate is wonderful, the land is rich, the land is fertile, the sun is generous ... What else does a person need for life? Therefore, this region has been inhabited by people since ancient times. Sindika, Gorgippia, Mapa, Anapa - this is the list of the names of the city. First, the ancient Greek city - Sindika, then part of the Bosporan state - Gorgippia, then the Genoese Mapa.

Since the 14th century, the region has been under the rule of the aggressive and warlike Ottoman Empire. And only by the end of the 18th century did the Russians come here. Of course, the Turks by no means voluntarily left these rich territories. Wars large and small, the seizure of territories, military operations, bloodshed. And now, as a victorious outcome and triumph Russian state- Tsar Nicholas I, following the Adrianople peace treaty, annexed the Anapa fortress to the Russian lands in 1846 and assigned it the status of a city.

Russian gate in Anapa

After some twenty years, in 1866, Anapa had the status of a resort area. By the end of the 19th century, doctor V.A. Budzinsky, having built a network of sanatoriums, received guests for treatment and achieved amazing results in the recovery of a person. It was he, the Kuban doctor Vladimir Budzinsky, who first drew the attention of the Russian public to the unique properties of local nature and water. Thanks to this, Anapa became famous by the beginning of the 20th century, gaining wide popularity as a resort city and seaport.

After the great October revolution In 1917, the city did not lose its status. The new authorities supported the trend by building more and more sanatoriums, boarding houses, rest houses. For example, by the beginning of the forties there were about 15 sanatoriums and 10 children's holiday camps.

The years of the Great Patriotic War left their mark here as well. By the 50s of the last century, Anapa was practically rebuilt. 2006 - the year of assigning the territory the status of "resort city of Anapa", in 2011 the status of "City of Military Glory" was acquired.

Climate and ecology of Anapa

The dry Mediterranean (subtropical) climate of Anapa is pleasant for living. The Caucasian ridges in this area "vanish", dropping to hills no more than two hundred meters above sea level. Such low mountains are already capable of passing air masses from temperate latitudes. Therefore, if we compare the climate of two cities - Anapa and Sochi, then in the first city the winters are colder, but easier to bear due to the drier air. Whereas in Sochi the high Caucasus Mountains protect the city from cold air masses, but due to the high percentage of air humidity from the sea, the weather is not always comfortable. Summer in Anapa is hot, drier than in Sochi.

An interesting observation from life: if you wash your clothes and hang them outside at night, then in Anapa by morning the clothes will be dry, and in Sochi - even more moist to the touch than after the dryer of an automatic washing machine! This is due to the different levels of humidity in the air. It is thanks to the sea and the drier climate that Anapa surpasses Sochi as a resort for patients with broncho-pulmonary and other similar diseases.

Remarkable in Anapa and amazing natural phenomena- winter weather "windows". In the midst of winter, at the end of January or February, there are surprisingly warm days when the air temperature warms up to 20 degrees Celsius in the sun. The local population is literally undressing before our eyes, people are literally walking around in T-shirts! Flying flies or midges appear in the air from nowhere, sometimes you can meet fluttering butterflies. It is a pity that such a warm weather event cannot be predicted.

winter sea

If we talk about the environmental situation in Anapa, then everything is not so bad. There are no industrial enterprises, there are no emissions and smoke in the city. All human activity in the city is aimed precisely at maintaining a favorable environmental situation in the resort. After all, the life of the inhabitants of the city directly depends both on the number of tourists arriving on vacation, and on the degree of their satisfaction with the rest and the desire to return here again.

A separate story with ecology is the Black Sea. winter temperature water - within 7-15 degrees of heat, closer to summer the sea warms up, and in summer it heats up to 26-28 degrees. By the middle of summer, the sea is completely polluted by visitors on the central beaches. Therefore, local residents prefer to take sea baths outside the city.

Central beach of Anapa

The Black Sea is polluted by human economic activity. The purity of the sea depends on the quality of the water of the numerous rivers and streams flowing into it. Unfortunately, there is not much to boast about in this regard. River runoff carries a large amount mineral fertilizers, which is why blue-green algae begin to actively develop in the sea. The sea "blooms", the purity and transparency of the waters are lost. Environmentalists talk about the harm to the sea caused by people as a result of mass fishing. Tuna and mackerel have completely disappeared, anchovy and sprat are on the verge of extinction.

AT recent times the local population is also talking about the fact that the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline will bring great harm to the environmental situation in Anapa, when gas will flow to European countries through the seabed. According to the laws of the country, gas pipelines cannot be laid through resort areas. Therefore, behind the scenes, there are talks about adjusting the boundaries of the district so as not to deprive Anapa of the status of a resort city.

Population of Anapa. multinational city

And who you just will not meet in Anapa! The descendants of all the conquerors live here, starting from the Greeks and Turks, naturally, Russians and ending with newcomers from the countries of the Near Abroad. More than 150 thousand people live in Anapa and the region. People are hardworking, friendly, able to meet, welcome, entertain numerous guests of the resort.

Some nationalities unite and create their own diasporas. They honor traditions, observe rituals, communicate in their native, national language, striving to preserve their mentality and instill in children the basics of their culture and way of life. The most active and large diasporas of Anapa are Armenian, Crimean Tatar, Greek and Yakut.

Districts and real estate of Anapa

Many residents of Russia are wondering when moving to a permanent place of residence in Anapa, which district of the city to choose, which microdistrict is better than all the others. The real estate market in Anapa is considered one of the most promising on the Black Sea coast, and all thanks to the flat terrain, unlike other resort cities in the North Caucasus. In all microdistricts of the city there is a massive and orderly construction of new modern houses. In general, characterizing Anapa, we note that it is a green and comfortable city.

Neighborhoods of Anapa

Is it good to live in the city center?

Complex issue. In Anapa, there are no separate "elite" microdistricts, but there are separately taken elite expensive houses. As they say themselves, "experienced" residents of the city, it is better to live after all in Anapa itself than in the Anapa region. But again, depending on where and looking to whom. Someone will like to live in the center more, because it is to some extent prestigious. Since there is everything nearby - shops, shopping centers, the beach, administration, attractions and numerous crowds of tourists. You just go beyond the threshold - and immediately find yourself in a noisy whirlwind of entertainment, cafes, bars and discos. Exactly what vacationers are looking for.

Evening bustle in the Center

Someone will like to live a little further from the center. It is because of the silence and tranquility. Here, as in the center, there is no abundance of nightclubs, bars and discos, there are no those very strolling vacationers. Who can not always restrain their emotions and impressions about the rest. Now the microdistricts of the city are being built up with new high-rise buildings with all the necessary infrastructure.

In terms of prices, housing in the center is the most expensive, there is little free land. Hotels, guest houses, large beautiful private houses predominate. And everyone rents out!

Average market prices of Anapa real estate

• The price per square meter of housing in apartments is from 56 thousand rubles.
• 1 weave of land for individual housing construction - 1 million rubles.
• The price for home ownership - an average of 7 million rubles.

The area is named so for a reason. It is located on a high, steep coast of the Black Sea, in the western part of the city. Amazing seascapes open to you from the windows of houses. Since the end of 2010, active construction of multi-storey residential complexes has been underway in the microdistrict. Residents appreciate their neighborhood for a wonderful pebble beach and the open sea. This is one of the most prestigious areas for living.

Highland

12 microdistrict

Actually, initially it was 1-2, that is, the first and second microdistricts. But, as you know, people like to simplify their concepts. Microdistricts are smoothly and as if by chance renamed into "Twelfth". This is a cozy "sleeping" area in the eastern part of the city. The area is built up with panel and brick five- and nine-story buildings. It is good to live here, not to rest. Why not rest? Because it is far from the beach and places of entertainment. But there is no night noise, housing is cheaper than in the center. The houses are comfortable enough to live in. Close to food markets and supermarkets. There is a school, kindergartens, a library and even veterinary clinic. You can get to the city center by minibus in 10 minutes.

City infrastructure

Anapa is a convenient city for recreation, living and working. It is located along the M25 federal highway running from Novorossiysk to the Kerch Strait. All types of transport communication are quite well developed - bus traffic, Railway, airport and even a small, but international seaport - all for the convenience of movement of residents and guests of the resort.

Inside the city itself, there are many minibuses that will take you to any part of the city. Of course, no city can do without traffic jams today. Anapa is no exception. Particularly prone to traffic congestion, of course, the Central region.

Anapa is a resort city, but this does not prevent its inhabitants from learning and developing intellectually and spiritually. Kindergartens and general education schools, secondary special and higher educational establishments. Specialized institutions - art schools, sports and art schools.

Higher educational institutions for the most part are branches of large universities in the country:

• Sholokhov Moscow Humanitarian University;
• Southern Institute of Management;
• Sochi State University of Tourism and Resort Business;
• Kuban State Agrarian University;
• Coast Guard Institute of the FSB of Russia;
• Academic legal institution and other establishments.

Businesses and work in Anapa

Again, the very definition of the city as a resort determines the main directions of economic activity in the region. The work is seasonal. In the summer in Anapa there is an influx of vacationers, who, in fact, are the main source of income for the majority of the local population. Not only the main source, but often the only one.

The vast majority of locals live the entire "dead" season on what they managed to earn in the summer. Therefore, with the beginning of the season, prices “creep” up rather quickly, if not “take off”. Private owners of hotels, boarding houses, sanatoriums, sellers (anything), service personnel, taxi drivers and many, many others earn on vacationers. Many people come to the city in search of seasonal work, since there are always vacancies for everyone.

Are all vacationers the same?

Do you think that all vacationers are the same? No, they are completely different! Some come on budget vouchers received at the enterprises where they work. Often this category of tourists come to rest outside the summer season, in the period autumn-winter-spring. People with a "tight wallet" also come to more or less prestigious "normal" sanatoriums and boarding houses. They have fun and live in a big way, generously endowing everyone who cooperates or comes into contact with them in one way or another.

Monument to a vacationer

Someone is vacationing with their family on the funds accumulated over the whole year in righteous works. Accordingly, these funds are used reasonably, carefully, prudently. Autotourism is a very common phenomenon. Vacationers use the services of campsites, private mini-hotels and inns where you can safely leave your vehicles. The last two categories mainly feed private traders who rent out both normal rooms or rooms in their house, and shanty-anthills for 500 rubles a day.

Industry

Yes, there is still industry in Anapa. Not simple, but special - specific. For example, a winery is CJSC "Dzhemete". In the vicinity of the city, winemaking and viticulture are well developed. The Anapa winery is famous for its ancient traditions.

Anapa vineyards

What other businesses exist in the resort? This is a meat processing plant, a bakery, a brewery, a spinning and weaving factory, as well as the production of plastic products and building materials.

Crime. Are you calm, Anapchane?

The situation in the resorts is calm. As elsewhere, as always, punks can hunt on the beaches in pursuit of unattended mobile phones or photographic equipment. But such petty theft is ineradicable - it was, is and will always be, probably. Therefore, we will not particularly focus on criminal topics.

Sights of Anapa

Being a popular holiday destination, Anapa has many interesting sights. For every taste and age, satisfying the different needs and preferences of vacationers.

Embankment

Perhaps this is the first place where all the guests of the resort city go. On the embankment you can walk day and night, not only in summer, but also in winter. Breathe in the sea air, refresh yourself with the breeze, admire the beautiful views of the sea. Show yourself, look at people - but how without it? Numerous cafes, amusement parks, oceanariums and terrariums, carousels, a Ferris wheel, traveling circuses - for every taste and budget.

Everyone who comes to the city considers it his duty to visit this unique architectural structure and take part in an exciting activity - toss a coin from the very height into the sea. The height of the lighthouse is 43 meters. Not only professional photographers work here, but feature films are also shot.

Mineral springs

Five pavilions with healing mineral water can be found in Anapa: one in the village of Vityazevo, one in the center and three on Pionersky Prospekt. Of course, on the shelves of stores you will find bottled mineral water, but it would be better to use water from pump rooms. The taste of water is specific, you immediately understand - yes, healing.

From a practical point of view, the waters of the Anapskoye, Semigorskoye, Raevskoye, Tsibanobalskoye, and Dzhemetinskoye deposits are especially valuable. According to balneological groups, the waters of the deposits are divided into hydrogen sulfide, iodine, bromine and low-mineralized, with high content organic inclusions.

Growing Gloxinia 17 Problems and Solutions FloweryValeru

Gloxinia is a very popular indoor plant. But, like any plant, gloxinia has its own secrets, troubles, in a word, there are problems when growing. To avoid them, you need to try to correct the conditions of gloxinia at the first sign of their appearance.

1. Gloxinia did not wake up after wintering

Storage location for gloxinia tubers should be cool and dark. If a Gloxinia tuber adult and healthy, then it is only necessary to put it in the light and water it a little, as shoots begin to grow in it. Sometimes gloxinia wakes up on its own, and when you take it out into the world, it already has an escape. However, in practice it does not always work out the way it should be.

Gloxinia does not wake up on time due to the fact that the rest period was too short, less than 4 months. It is quite possible that the wintering was too dry and the tuber dried out. But in any case, gloxinia wakes up by itself. It just takes patience.

In order not to encounter overdrying of the tuber, pots with gloxinia in winter should sometimes be lightly watered or sprinkled with water. And you can put gloxinia tubers in plastic bags, pouring some soil or wet moss into it. Close the bags or tie tightly. The bag will retain constant humidity, and due to the fact that the bag is transparent, you will have the opportunity to observe gloxinia tubers in winter. At the first appearance of leaves, you can immediately plant gloxinia in a pot.

If a Gloxinia did not wake up after wintering, it means that too young gloxinia was sent for wintering, which did not have time to form a tuber, or the tuber rotted.

If a gloxinia tuber was purchased in a store and after last year's flowering it did not wake up from hibernation, it is possible that the tuber was sold of very poor quality. A lot of flower growers complain about this problem. Outwardly, the tubers look quite safe, but in reality it may turn out that they are already old, or infected with some kind of infection or pests. The strength of such tubers is only enough to bloom for one season.

Dig up the tuber, inspect it: if it is very wrinkled, then most likely it is gone. Break or cut it: the tuber on the cut should be slightly yellowish or pinkish. If this is the case, then dry the sections, sprinkle with crushed coal, you can treat with ordinary brilliant green or fucorcin (raspberry liquid, a strong antiseptic, has an antifungal effect, sold in pharmacies). You can treat the tuber with epin or zircon to increase the vitality of the tuber, to stimulate it to form shoots.

If the gloxinia tuber is brown on the cut, then most likely it has disappeared. If the brown color is only from one edge, cut off all the rot, process the tuber as described above and plant it in new soil.

If you want the purchased tubers to be able to endure wintering without any problems, then immediately after acquiring gloxinia tubers at home, process all planting material in a solution of potassium permanganate or phytosporin. This treatment is aimed at keeping gloxinia tubers from rot.

The next step is the treatment of gloxinia tubers with Actellik or Fitoverm. These drugs will help get rid of thrips, spider mite and other indoor plant pests.

If you purchased gloxinia in a pot, change the ground and process the tuber. The land that is sold in pots along with plants is very poor.

Perhaps the tuber is already old, and just died. Gloxinia live three to four years. If you really value this particular variety of gloxinia, try to root the cutting or leaf in advance.

2. Gloxinia did not have time to form a tuber

If gloxinia is grown from seeds, and the seeds are planted late, then Gloxinia may not have time to form a tuber. Gloxinia blooms only at six to seven months of age, when it grows six to seven pairs of leaves. In this case, young gloxinia should not be sent for wintering, because you can completely lose gloxinia. In winter, try to maintain sufficient humidity and light so that the gloxinia does not stretch out.

To understand whether gloxinia will overwinter or not, count the leaves: if there are only four or five pairs, then such a small gloxinia cannot be sent for wintering. Gloxinia will pick up buds when it has grown at least six pairs of leaves.

Also, the tuber does not have time to form when growing gloxinia from a leaf or cutting, especially if the cutting is too long and deeply buried.

Do not abuse watering. Due to waterlogging, gloxinia may also not have time to form a tuber.

3. Shoots of gloxinia are very stretched

Gloxinia shoots are strongly drawn out after wintering, when the room is too warm and there is insufficient lighting. Add lighting, reduce the temperature in the room will help periodic spraying of air, wet cleaning. Strong stretching of shoots can also be in low light, plus overfeeding nitrogen fertilizers. Add light, do not feed with nitrogen fertilizers.

Gloxinia can stretch due to varietal characteristics, some varieties of gloxinia are prone to stretching shoots. It is advisable to cut the elongated shoot. The tuber will give a new shoot. A pruned shoot can be rooted, and it will also have time to bloom. If the elongated shoot is left, then it will most likely fall and take root. It will also receive nutrition from its newly formed roots, and in addition, pull nutrition from the tuber. A new shoot may grow on the tuber, but it will be weak, will not bloom, and the tuber will become weakened and may not overwinter.

4. Gloxinia grows very poorly, her flowers curl

If a Gloxinia is too slow growing, or Gloxinia flowers curl up perhaps the wintering of the plant was too cold, or the plant was flooded, or in the room where gloxinia grows, the temperature is too low, or there are drafts. Perhaps the land is very poor, there is not enough food. Carry out pest control. They can also inhibit the growth of gloxinia.

5. Gloxinia leaves turned yellow

Gloxinia leaves turn yellow with excessive watering. If the plant is flooded, then it is immediately noticeable by the leaves. It may happen that the tuber began to rot. Urgently remove the gloxinia tuber, inspect for rot, treat with phytosporin or other drugs, replace the ground.

Gloxinia leaves may turn yellow from a lack of nitrogen. In general, fertilizing with nitrogen-containing fertilizers is recommended only at the beginning of the growing season, when the stem begins to grow. Subsequently, top dressing is best done with fertilizers in which the content of phosphorus and potassium far exceeds the nitrogen content. Remember that overfeeding with nitrogen can lead to gloxinia tuber rot.

Gloxinia leaf chlorosis. The cause of chlorosis can be too hard water. Water for watering gloxinia should be used separated, warm. Soften it with a drop of vinegar or lemon juice. The cause of chlorosis can be reduced soil acidity or increased ash content. Change the soil.

6. Gloxinia leaves are discolored

If a Gloxinia leaves began to discolor, then there is magnesium starvation. In this case, liquid top dressing will help, in which all trace elements have already been added.

7. Spots appeared on the leaves of gloxinia

Spots on gloxinia leaves may appear from too bright lighting. Shade the gloxinia, otherwise there will be a sunburn. Spots on gloxinia leaves can appear from excessive watering, and also if you water too much. cold water. Gloxinia leaf spot can cause drafts. Small spots on gloxinia leaves may indicate the presence of pests on the plant. Insecticide treatments are needed. In addition, gloxinia can be affected by various viral diseases, for example, tomato ring spot virus.

Potato is a moisture-loving plant. Even in a temperate climate, during the season, a potato bush evaporates 60-70 liters of water, and even more in the southern regions. But too much rain for potatoes is no less harmful than drought. In order to get a good harvest, the gardener must be able to adapt to any weather and know the correct agricultural techniques for different situations.

Planting potatoes in rainy weather

In the spring, when the snow melts and the sun dries out the soil a little, it's time to decide when to plant potatoes. To do this, our wise ancestors determined the appropriate air temperature and soil moisture according to signs. Here are just two of them:

• the air and soil have warmed up enough for planting potatoes if young birch leaves have grown the size of a penny;
• soil moisture when planting potatoes should be such that a lump of earth thrown from a height of human growth crumbles when it hits the soil surface (if the soil is too dry, a lump cannot be molded from it).

But what to do if heavy rains are charged at the right moment for landing? Let's consider several options.

Planting potatoes before the rain

If weather forecasters promise prolonged heavy rains, planting potatoes should be postponed. Such rains usually bring a cold snap with them, and tubers planted in cold wet soil will at best get sick, at worst they will not sprout at all. Too heavy rains can lead to the death of all planting material: a potato that has been in water for two hours without air access suffocates and does not germinate. As a result, the vegetable grower, who hastened to landing work, you will have to re-acquire seeds, then again spend time and effort on planting.

It is much more expedient to wait out the "rainy season". Nothing will happen to the tubers: it is enough to lay them out in a dark room and sprinkle them with wet sand or a mixture of earth, sand and peat. Potatoes will begin to form a root system. Much more prolific and strong bushes will grow from such tubers than from those that have been wet and ill in the soil. In climatic conditions middle lane it is permissible to plant potatoes until June 12th.

If, according to the weather forecast, light rain is expected, then there is no reason to postpone planting potatoes. A little more moisture or a little less - for the germination of tubers is not important. The danger of short-term rain is different: when it dries out, the soil becomes covered with a crust that is almost impervious to air.

Due to the lack of oxygen, potatoes in the ground can suffocate. To prevent this from happening, the dried surface of the beds is carefully loosened with a rake.

Planting potatoes in the rain

A gardener planting potatoes in the rain runs the risk of catching a cold. In addition, if the rain is heavy, the water will wash away the fertilizers that are applied to the holes. Therefore, do not engage in landing work in bad weather.

Planting potatoes after rain

Planting potatoes right after rain is not an easy task. Wet, heavy earth sticks to the shovel and shoes, it is inconvenient to form beds. Even if the rain was short-term, it is better to plant potatoes on another day. In the case of prolonged and heavy rainfall, it is required to wait at least 2-3 days until the soil dries. Especially it concerns clay soils and areas located in the lowlands. If there is water in the holes, you cannot plant potatoes: the tubers will suffocate or begin to rot.

Immediately after the rain, the ground is very sticky.

Rain during the growing season

Only occasionally does summer indulge vegetable growers with ideal weather for growing potatoes: mild warmth and rain no more than once a week. Usually, during the growing season, either wet cool weather sets in, or drought sets in.

How and when to water potatoes

In dry weather, the tubers stop growing. The tops become lethargic, the leaves fall. In order not to dig out "peas" in the fall, it is required to provide the plant with water during the growing season.

Until the potato sprouts, it is not watered, as short shoots that have not yet broken through to the surface take moisture and the substances necessary for development from the mother tuber. This rule has only one exception: when planting seedlings from sprouts (without tubers), half a liter of water is first poured into each well.

Watering does not have an exact schedule: it all depends on the weather. It does not make sense to water the potatoes in the rain or immediately after it. But in dry, warm weather, experienced gardeners periodically check the soil moisture by touch.

If the earth in the garden at a depth of 6-7 cm has dried up, then it's time to water the potato bushes.

The optimal time for watering is evening, after 18-19 hours. During irrigation, fertilizing is often carried out with organic and inorganic fertilizers. It is convenient if there is a barrel on the site where water for irrigation is infused on cut nettle stalks.

Heavy loamy soils retain water better than sandy loamy soils. If the soil is loamy, 3-4 liters of water are poured under each bush, if sandy loam - 4-5 liters. Water is poured little by little so that the moisture reaches the root system of the bush, and does not spread along the aisle. If there is still no rain, then the next time the bushes are watered in 10-14 days.

Most potatoes need watering during budding and flowering. But it is also necessary to maintain soil moisture when the bushes fade: in dry hot soil, stolons die off ahead of time, depriving tubers nutrients. Due to a sharp drop in soil moisture, the tubers of some varieties crack.

Depending on the weather, potatoes are watered 1–2 times before flowering, and 1–3 more times after flowering. Even in the driest summer, a maximum of five waterings is enough. To ensure a constant level of soil moisture, the beds are mulched with hay or straw.

Hilling potatoes and loosening the soil after rain

Thanks to hilling, the root system of potato bushes becomes more powerful, and remains longer in the ridges needed by plants moisture. Hilling potatoes in the rain or immediately after it is not worth it: it is difficult, since the earth is still too wet and sticky. When it dries, a crust forms on the surface, which will still have to be loosened.

Practice shows that it is best to spud potatoes on the second day after rain or watering. In this case, the soil is still quite wet, but it does not stick to the tools so much, and it is much easier to work.

If hilling is not required, then on the second or third day after watering, the earth must be loosened, providing air to the tubers.

What to do if the potatoes are flooded with rain

If the potatoes did not have time to sprout, and as a result of many days of heavy rains, the site turned into a swamp, then most of the planting material is most likely hopelessly damaged. Suffocated tubers will begin to rot, attracting pests. Therefore, when the soil in the area dries up, rotten seeds are burned, and new ones are planted in their place.

Heavy rainfall in August, after the flowering of potatoes, also causes damage. The tubers of the new crop, ripened in rainy weather, have a thin skin, are poorly preserved, and begin to deteriorate long before spring.

There are a number of techniques to minimize the damage from prolonged heavy rains:

• arrangement of high ridges. A drainage layer is laid at their base, so the potatoes do not get as wet as in ordinary beds;
• growing potatoes in high ridges. The tubers are planted in double beds to a depth of only 6–8 cm. As the shoots develop, they are spudded, raking up the earth from wide row-spacings. The root system of the bushes is above the ground level, and excess moisture flows into the aisles. To get rid of it as soon as possible, carefully make drainage notches at the base of the beds with a shovel.

High ridges and rows minimize crop losses from heavy rains

Control of rain-induced potato diseases

In cool rainy weather, pathogens of potato fungal diseases are activated: late blight, phomosis (button rot), rhizoctoniosis, fusarium, black leg. To prevent the death of the crop, the plants are treated with fungicides.

Such preparations should not be used during rain. The instructions for each of them always indicate what is the minimum time that must elapse from the moment the product is applied until it rains. These recommendations should be strictly adhered to.

Harvesting in rainy weather

It is better to dig potatoes in dry, cool weather, when there has been no rain for at least the last 3-4 days. But if the autumn is rainy, then it is difficult to choose such a day. And the longer the tubers are in damp ground, the more likely they are to become infected with some kind of fungal disease and subsequently begin to rot. Considering that the crop must be harvested before the onset of frost, sometimes potatoes are dug even in the rain.

Tubers dug up during or immediately after rain are covered with mud, so it’s even difficult to sort through. Therefore, they are first laid out in a semi-dark room so that they dry out.

Some gardeners prefer to wash all the harvested potatoes. There is a logic in this: the tubers are still wet, and after washing it will be easier to select the spoiled ones. Washed potatoes, as in the previous case, are laid out to dry.

When the potatoes collected in rainy weather dry out, they treat them as usual: they leave them for one to two weeks to go through the “treatment period”, then sort them out and put them in storage. But such potatoes are always in the "risk group", so during the winter they need to be sorted out at least once.
