			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That&#8217;s the first autumn month palangėj Cottages &#8211; dahlia flower. Rings a lot. But there is no shortage of weeds. Common gardener grow their seeds, their neighbor and rewards. With such a law would be put up stropieji gardeners. And sometimes even roads and weeds and haulm &#8220;corrected&#8221; for the fences thrown weeds, but rather, an organic fertilizer. The increasing number of apple and drop, rather large apples, pears, plums. Sudoroti Common gardener does not manage the harvest and to store or transport gėdinasi markets. Well, when the garden organized by juicing, then they may be more common and less conserved drop goes in vain. And after all, and pre-dried fruit can be different. Now is the preparation of juice a wide variety of equipment. avietyną Inspect. nuskabykime raspberries as soon as possible, leave the consistency of the following year, tops . And raspberries will grow faster sumedės and winter is not so fast iššals. In addition, išpjaustykime derėjusius stems and remove the weak, poorly developed plants supurenkime land.</p>
<p>Coming tree planting. And he is preparing in advance. After a while picking apples in autumn. This work should be well prepared. Have built the ladder enough boxes, soft, preferably polyethylene, unhooked the bottom of a basket and put the yield &#8211; properly prepared in the basement. Cellars and other rooms where they will be considered as fruits, disinfected and išbaltinamos. Where a species is non-residential premises, it can be disinfected by burning sulfur, but in all other cases, spraying fungicide &#8211; 1 percent. production of iron, iron or copper sulfate solution. Sprayed and consumed at the same time, boxes, shelves.</p>
<p>Before winter nudažykime water pipes, fences, gates.</p>
<p>This month begins with frost, which the gardener must prepare for it. Before the start of the frost-sensitive removes them vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, dumplainius, ankštpipirius, courgettes, zucchini, squash, custard squash. Tent and a small tomato fruits, especially those who are slightly off-white color. They will ripen long-mi. Cucumber skins and smaller, because all the storage for the winter &#8211; tanning, marinating. Higher pakanda frosts and haulm, so they cut and harvested potatoes. Request, which has made not rot potato. than seed or food. Best to store potatoes nešiltame en-syje. If the basement during the winter dry and warm, the potatoes can be considered Spooler, trenches or pits specially equipped. Best cellars to store boxes filled potatoes. It is time to rot potato-ing. Kaupo, trenches or pits as potatoes loaded thin layer. Harvested potatoes at once to fill warehouses. Keep them at temperatures from 12 to 15 days. Then heal wounds caused by mining, tubers prepare for the sleep period. Transformed seed of improved varieties of potatoes.<br />
At the end of the month starting digging carrots, beets, other root vegetables. When you start to form heads, cauliflower cultivation to harvest and ending seedbed or in greenhouses. Polyethylene greenhouses growing vegetables žiemyninės. Power of determining the carrier, the handle greenhouses and prepare for the winter. Remove the film wears out, whole-separate pieces, which can still be used. Heated greenhouses grow tomatoes, vegetables žalumynines. Removing the root vegetables, selects characteristic of the breed the healthiest and most beautiful, not too large roots and keep them pasodams. Select more beautiful seeds of cucumbers, tomatoes and other fruit vegetables. Hybrid vegetables used in different parent varieties, mainly grown in seed purposes only.</p>
<p>After removing the vegetable harvest, Perkasie suariame or land. Pies that takes away all the seed</p>
<p>weeds that neišplatintumėm to their seed. Šakniastiebines, šakniaatžalines and other vegetatively propagated weeds elect, perkasdami plowing tręšiame organic and mineral fertilizers forforo and potassium. Manure in autumn tręšiame cabbages, cucumbers, potatoes for the land at 40-80 kg/10 m2. If the soil is sour replacement or medium acidity, we can chalk it before apariant. Collect vining bean supports, tomato pin, we can help them next season. Over-harvested compost.</p>
<p>In September, the most convenient time to keep old flowers and new installations. The multi-annual flowers grow in one place 5-6 years, so long šluoteliniuš growing phlox, astilbes, monardas better for transplanting. Older plants are blooming less and monardos grown long in one place starts to disappear. In the absence of opportunities for graft, it should be, cut off part of the earth, the flowers pamulčiuoti peat or kerelius pour 5 cm soil layer, as long they grow like kereliai come to the surface. To prepare flowers or reconstruction need not be delayed because the plants are transplanted late lag and more sensitive to root iššalti. Recently, frequent admire rare forms of conifers. Of these combinations are made or dwarf conifer species combined with perennial flowers. In planning for groups of conifers in the gardens, well, think about their heights and growth rates, since it will depend on planting distances and the location of individual species. Such groups are better suited to slow-growing dwarf types and forms. Most junipers are planted, the various forms of tujos, puskiparisiai. Sometimes due įkomponuojama mountain pine. Accents can be a Picea pungens. Reload garden plot, close is not worth me.</p>
<p>This month, the collection of annual and perennial flower seeds.</p>
<p>Do not forget to dig tuberous begonias time. This should be done before a stronger frost. Stems cut above the tuber 5-6 cm. The tubers are slightly padžiovinami and swept-mi. Placed in boxes for the winter, the stratification of the peat, as 5-8 ° C room.</p>
<p>Tuberous begonias sometimes have to dig is not fully mature, then they are seated in their boxes and complete vegetation. After the tubers to harvest a few days, dried and cleaned. At the end of September must be planted narcissus Jacinto since then planted root lag, difficult winter. Time for planting leukoją, egg, garlic, ornamentals, early tulips.</p>
<p>Nevėluokime egg planting its roots in early releases, which damaged vegetation, because plants are harder to grow poorer and prigyja. Let us not forget tigridijų dig it climates outside our nežiemoja. Tigridija excavated at a later date, together with leaves and earth. Withered leaves, onions gently removed, without distinguishing between them and the small bulbs until spring kept the sand 3-5 ° C. The children are separated from the parent plant prior to planting.</p>
<p>Alstremerijos usually grown in a greenhouse, they are grown in one place for two years. Replanting in September and October. Carefully extracted by roots and distributed in a way that after 2-3 holes. So-dynamo 2-3 of 1 m2. Root of the neck his lesson 5 cm soil layer. While root crops, greenhouse temperature should be 16-18 ° C. Watered moderately warm water.</p>
<p>Alstremerijas and can be grown outdoors, but be very careful camouflage, protect, does not undermine a stronger frosts in September. Cold winters may iššalti.</p>
<p>Ground parts of perennial flower cutting, flower beds are cleaned, irises pamulčiuojami peat, as the uncovered roots and plants can hide little blossom.</p>
<p>September in the second half of the Sodi-house roses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">This is the most beautiful time in the garden. Apricots bloom ends, cherries prank out with white truss and apple trees is covered with pink buds. Currants, cherries, apple rings are willingly attended by bees, lazily but until a late night bumble are flying around them. Bees carries pollen from the ring to the ring, because dust from foreign ring is much more viable the fruits are bigger, gardens are more consistent. Therefore saveguard the bees and if it’s possible &#8211; keep them. No pesticides should be used in garden during the flowers blooming. Give advice to a neighbor, not to do this too.<br />
Gardens are often damaged by late frosts. And it’s difficult to protect flowering fruit trees from them. It’s recommended when the chilled weather comes start fires, burning of various forms of waste, but it is not so easy to do. It is easier in the morning after the frost spray trees with water, then the rings are recovering and less damage is made.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Very important work at this time is the graft of apple and pear trees. It’s done to low value, poor varieties of fruit trees. Small trees are grafted one time, and more grown within two or three years. You can still fold back Currant and other berry crops stems. It is as follows: next to the main bush the hollow is done, then the stem is bend and tacked to the ground using a hook. At the beginning of the hollow stem bark is slightly incised with arched cut, and is left for some time. From the horizontal stem, that is, all buds are starting to grow shoots. When they grow and are 15 to 20 cm high, the bended stem is showered with ground, which is constantly watered. Then the sleeping bud starts to develop roots. When the autumn is coming, a new cluster should be separated from the main bush, it can be distributed in parts or all at once planted. This is done if necessary.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The order is maintained in the garden. Weeds are systematically destroyed. Crust which is formed after a rain has to be broken. In the autumn and spring planted trees watered. Since the spring all waste is composted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most vegetables are sown and planted at this month. We plant and sow by several phenological timing. The actual start of the spring, when average daily temperature exceeds 5 ° C, when ordinary Eve green (April 25 &#8211; May 8 ), Anemone nemorosa starts blooming (April 25 &#8211; May 10 ), Cuckoo begins to cuckoo (April 25 &#8211; May 6 ), swallows are coming back (April 24 &#8211; May 9 ), then Salsify, beans, beetroot, potherbs are planted for early harvest, seedlings of cauliflower, onions, celery, kohlrabi, broccoli, leeks, lettuce, beetroot, cabbage, pumpkin, carrot, radish, radish and celery are planted too.<br />
When Ordinary Eve (May 6 to 18 ) and cherries (May 11-20 ) starts bloom beetroot and carrots for storage during the winter are sown, beans, Melissa, serotinous Brussels, cauliflowers, celery, yellow, and oregano sprouts are planted to protected grounds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the average daily temperature is above +10 ° C, after the ordinary olive bloom (May 17 to 29) for the autumn harvest, cauliflower, pumpkins, courgettes, pattypans, zucchini, beans are sown. Plant turnips cucumbers, tomatoes, medium early cabbage, marjoram in protected areas, plant and lemon balm and parsley seedlings. Let loosen the soil where vegetables were sown or planted. This helps regulate favorable for plants direction of moisture, air directions and treatment to kill weeds. Slow-emergence vegetable rows can be marked, this will be bring forward maintenance works. Longer-emergence is seeds of capsicums, artichokes, husk tomatoes, dills, parsnips, parsley, rhubarb, celery, asparagus and spinach. When you’re growing vegetables seedlings in boxes, don’t rush to conclude that the seeds sterile, because they can sprout after two weeks or even longer. To sprout earlier seeds are soaked and couched. Soaked or sprouted seeds are planted only in moist soil and are irrigated. Those areas who grow  slow-emergence vegetables requires weekly scratch, by preventing the weeds take root, which at that time very intensively sprouts and grows. In addition, the moisture remains in the soil.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vegetable seeds are inserted at different depth. Small carrots, parsley, celery, butterfly, summer savory, marjoram, oregano, cress seeds and other vegetables are inserted in small 1-2 cm depth, medium size &#8211; capsicum, beetroot, pumpkin, cabbage, parsnips, tomatoes, radishes, radish , Borago and other vegetables seeds are inserted in 2-3 cm depth, and larger courgette, peas, beans, asparagus seeds are inserted 3 to 5 cm in depth. Before seeding vegetables fertilize the prepared soil with organic fertilizers: for cucumbers, cabbages, potatoes use manure (60 to 80 kg/10 m 2) in conjunction with the insertion of mineral fertilizers, for  tomatoes, beetroot, carrots, onions, radishes, leaf vegetables use compost (20 &#8211; 30 kg/10 m2) and mineral fertilizers. At the beginning of the month we have to complete planting of early potatoes and in the first decade of month finish planting entirety all potatoes. Sown and planted vegetables are mulched. In dry weather they should be watered.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Check already sprouted vegetables density. If the vegetable sprouted really dense they should be thinned out. Rarely growing vegetables are multiplexed with sprouts or soaked seeds. Thinned out vegetables can be fertilized with manure fertilizer solution by taking 40 g of superphosphate, 20 g of potassium chloride and 10 g of ammonium nitrate with 10 l water.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In late May, planting of late-emergence cabbages sprouts starts. After the shelters can be planted cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetable sprouts that loves warmth. Cucumber seedlings intended for growing in a field can be raised in the greenhouse. In the first decade we plant cucumber and tomato seedlings to unheated polyethylene greenhouses. Supervise vegetables growing in the greenhouses. At the risk of frost, garden vegetables should be covered up, watered intensively with warmer water, there could be created smokescreen and earthed potato seedlings. Destroy more harmful pests and used to counter measures against the diseases. Gaps which eat cabbage, radishes and other vegetables similar to them, can be destroyed by wood ashes and tobacco dust. Cabbage white butterflies, and other tracks can be disposed by using entobacterin, against brassica, and carroty bulb fly – use to destroy carbophosphate or to deter naphthalenes, pour hot ash alkali (1 kg/10 1). Against vegetable sprouts black legs (blackroot) sprouts should be hold in 0.03 -0.05 percent. potassium permanganate solution to disinfect it, also mellow earth, thin out seedlings. Many vegetables deseeds can be destroyed by holding there seeds in hot water for 20 minutes followed by 2 &#8211; 3 min cool off with cold water, carrot seeds should be soaked in 52 to 53 ° C water from 15 to 20 minutes and then cool off with cold water, grain legumes (peas, beans, beans) seeds should be soaked for 4.5 hours from 25 to 30 ° C water, followed by 5 minutes at 50 ° C in water, then cool off with cold water.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This month the majority of annual flowers that have short growing seasons are planted in beds. Alyssum, marygold, Iberis, nemesias, eschscholzia, nasturtium, aromatic peas can be sown in beds. Before sowing peas it is advisable to soak seeds for at least several days. And then they grow quickly and evenly. Soaked peas sprouts in a week, and not soaked &#8211; after two weeks. In rainy summer they are less consistent. Seed germination remains for 4 years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alyssum grows best in sunny location, it blooms less in the shade. It’s not demanding for special soil and it’s not sensitive to Frost. The seeds mature in August. There are 3000 seeds per gram. They continue germination for 3 years. Sown they sprouts soon and starts blooming in 45 days. To prolong flowering, alyssum is cut at the end of the bloom. Then he re-blooms.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Iberis planted in the beds sprouts in a week, and the bloom starts only after two months and lasts until September. Seed germination remains for 2 &#8211; 3 years and there are 400 seeds per gram. Iberis grows better in sunny spot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nemesias are sown directly into beds or to the cold inspections at the end of April. Sprouts are thinned out. In late May they are planted in the flower garden. Plants sown directly in beds starts blooming two weeks later. The falling nemessias can be cut, then after a while they re-bloom again. They are planted 15 cm apart in flower garden, and thinned out. Pulled nursery stock can be planted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Delphinium seeds are planted in beds in early May, when the spring comes early in late April. They can be sown and in autumn, through winter seeds ions, and quickly sprouts in spring. Fattened shoots must be thinned out leaving 10 &#8211; 15 cm distance between plants.<br />
Ruth is sown directly into beds. This plant is very sensitive to transplantation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Morning -glory will look beautiful planted in the balcony. This is climbing plant, grows from 2 to 2.5 m in height. It blooms white, pink, red, dark-blue. Morning-glory is planted in early May. Seedlings can’t stand graft. This plant should be equipped with restraint, or strings should be drop.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In early May, it&#8217;s not too late to sow halo, but they will start blooming two weeks later than those which were grown sprouts. From seedbeds peesonia sprouts are replanted to the flower garden. Before that, 2 – 3 days the hotbeds should be not covered overnight, the plants harden off. Before tearing up the shoots, soil requires a good watering. It’s better to plant in the evening or foggy day. They are planted 15- 20 cm apart.<br />
Do not forget to sow helichrysum, cleft teardrop and other interesting and graceful grasses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gladioli are planted in a sunny spot. The soil for them must be well cultivated, manured, not sour (pH 7). Do not fertilize using fresh manure, because then gladioli often get fungal diseases. The soil is prepared in the autumn 5 kg over rotten manure is inserted to bonemeal 100 m2. In the spring the soil is loosen, and it’s added 5 kg of superphosphate to 100 m2.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Before planting corms are decorticated, soaked for two hours in a solution of potassium permanganate (10 g &#8211; 10 liters of water), or for 0.5 hours in 0.4 percent formalin solution. They are planted from 5 to 8 cm in the depth and in the lighter soil – in 10 cm depth. Dry soil before planting is watered. Planted, yet do not spouted gladioli should be not watered as watering rams down the soil, crust is formed, which is opaque to the air and roots grow poorly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s best to plant clematis in early May. Excavated pit 60 x 60 cm is filled with over rotten manure, humous ground and added 100 g of superphosphate. It’s planted in 15 cm in depth. In such a depth roots of plant don’t overheat in summer and don’t freeze in winter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dahlias are planted in the first half of May. Soil is fertilized with over rotten manure (6 kg / m 2). It’s not recommended to fertilize with fresh manure in spring, because the dahlia will grow more in leaves and will bloom weak. When dahlias began to grow they are additional fertilized 3 &#8211; 4 times every 10 days, alternately in the slurry and mineral fertilizer mixture. In the absence of manure, a solution of ammonium nitrate can be used (25 g of -10 liters of water). Blooming dahlias are not fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In May it is not too late to install flower garden lawn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In early May, Gladioli are prepared to bloom in late October festivities. Since the beginning of May they are stored at 2 &#8211; 4 ° C, in 70 percent air humidity, in cold storage or refrigerator. 3 weeks before planting they are heat-treated. Shells are cleaned down, they are placed a single row to wooden boxes with mesh-bottomed rare wire, sprouts directed up. They are arranged in a bright, warm place (28 to 33 ° C, humidity 60 percent). At warm and dry environment corms buds within 3 &#8211; 4 weeks will grow up to 5 cm. Roots poorly developed in dry environments, so they don’t break during the planting and planting corms quickly takes root after. If the roots are damaged or hacked the plants gets poor. They are planted in the beginning of July.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">We have to end pruning the trees. If necessary, even cut one or few through the densely growing trees. Dense garden is a socket of  fungal disease and pest. Root out  from the roots of fruit trees, remove as many roots from the soil. Rotting roots leaves in the soil the toxic substances and then the newly planted trees grow poorly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After the freeze and when the soil is quite dry you can plant brought or earthed up trees. Before planting they have to be well inspected, especially their roots. In winter, roots or the neck could have been nibbled by vole, and maybe on some there are lumps (cancer), such trees should be refrain from planting. To long roots has to be cut and steeped in pulp made of clay and cow manure. Excavated hole such that the roots are well-fit and the depth and from side to side. The land must be made from the autumn for spring planting. After the seeding earth up tree roots with peat or compost, shape a dish (concave) and water it, immediately form a circle. Before you plant the trees you have to think about adding on the soil to the plot. If it will be needed, then the plant trees above, on the mound. While  transported to the garden ground can not heap tree trunks. Their root neck must be at the ground. Deeply planted seedlings should be raised, they gradually, through leverage, pulling up. This is difficult work.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some gardeners transplant good growing trees. How is it done? In the spring cutting is exposed at the main roots of 70 to 80 cm from the stem land and undermine the roots. During the vegetation the remainder of the sleeping buds spend a lot of fine root. Then in the autumn or next spring, after reduce of the crown, these trees, leaving in the roots as much ground as possible, we can replant it in another location. Transplanted tree branches need to be focused (according to the world countries) in the same direction. Therefore, prior to excavation mark with the chalk for example the southern side on the tree trunk or branch.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This month, are thinned out to densely growing currant bushes, the branches with mites Cecidophyopsis are removed (that kind of branches has bloated buds) and immediately incinerated.  Raspberry stalks is thinned to, the ones that gave berries are totally removed. Garden is sprayed with 3 percent. concentration nitrophen solution (berry bushes &#8211; 2.5 percent), begins improved seamless grafting. First, the grafting of young cherry-trees begins, then Sweet cherries and plums. After warm winter shoots can be taken from the breeding of trees and immediately grafted. After a cold winter, grafting  should be done with sprouts which were taken before frost, or refuse of this work.<br />
This month, berry crops (especially currants) are multiplied by last year&#8217;s stems, which are implanted slopingly to the beds.<br />
Before to that, the stems are soaked in soft water (best to use the water of snow) for about a week. Water is  need to be changed twice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This month early vegetables are sowed outdoor, therefore you need to complete all the preparatory work: fix the inventory, to have all the necessary fertilizers, materials, instruments. You need to buy chemicals to fight diseases, pests, and in some cases, and weeds. But better to do without them. So far, only part of the garden pest damage is determined in the economic damage threshold. This is the amount of pests, which pays to destroy with chemicals or otherwise. For cabbage pests would be following indicators: from 3 to 5 cabbage cutworms on a single plant, and about 10 percent. of sprouts are damaged, from 7 to 8 cabbage fly larvae on a single plant, or there are 5 &#8211; 10 percent.  cabbage aphid hosted plants, etc. If there are fewer pests, they do not commit a serious injury.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Less dangerous are leaves corrosive pests and detrimental to the roots and stems are more dangerous. Plant development is important to. For example just sprouted beet, cabbage, radishes and other plants can be completely destroyed by flea-beetles and for the adult plants, they are far less harmful. In wet weather more damage are caused by the disease, but in dry and sunny weather &#8211; pests. Most of these measures are sufficient at present  in specialized gardening and household goods stores, but at the beginning of the growing season, and their intensive use, they are often lacking or there isn’t at all the options. Particularly noticeable is lack of means against pests (insecticides). The insecticides for Colorado potato beetle (chemical means which kills insects) are Dibromo, dilor, benzophosphate, mezox, phoxim and biopreparation bitoksi-bacilin. To destroy flea-beetles  diozinon is used, for spidery mites in greenhouses &#8211; keltan, locks &#8211; metaldehyde, other vegetable pests -carbophosphate, ravikurt, to destroy young caterpillar of pests &#8211; biopreperations dendrobacilin and entobakterin. To destroy diseases of tomato and potato crops claret liquid, polikarbacin, polichom, copper oxychloride are used. The lats one, and sodium phosphate and colloidal sulfur preparations is used to fight the mildew to.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the early spring, when average daily temperatures are positive, begin to sow early vegetables. This is best felt by plants and animals. Under natural phenomena consisting of works called phenological calendar, and then the most common natural phenomena &#8211; phenoindikators. The pheno indicators of early  vegetable sowing time are: the early coltsfoot bloom (20 March-20 April), winter rye growth in the beginning of April 13 &#8211; 25 April), beginning of willow flower (April 11 &#8211; April 23 .) the return of Storks (April 1 &#8211; April 13). At the time carrots, parsnips, parsley, turnip, radish, radishes are planted for early harvest, lettuce, spinach, cress, culinary herbs, many vegetables, onion seed, planting, garlic, horseradish, rhubarb, asparagus, parsnips, onions and leeks settings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The tomato and cucumber sprouts meant for the cultivation in the field are sown in greenhouse.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Look after in the heated greenhouses cultivated crops and sown in the non heated polyethylene greenhouses less weather-sensitive vegetables. It is time to sow vegetables from hotbed. Early potatoes, early and head of cauliflower seedlings are usually planted in the last decade of April. As the nights are still significant frost, you should protect ready for planting potatoes and sprouts from freezing. Fertilize vegetables with Bi-and multi-mineral fertilizers, place them, fluff to dry surface. The medium early cabbage seedlings is sown in  protected from the wind places or heatedbeds. Perennial and biennial vegetables can be fitted with polyethylene temporary shelters, which have brought forward the consistency. Subsequently, these shelters can be used for vegetables which likes heat.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In April also Cowslip, dahlias, marigold, lavender, zinnia are sown.<br />
Cowslip planted in early April to inspections or in boxes. Grow seedlings transplanted in 3 cm intervals. After that they are hold in 12-15 ° C, seeds come in 10-15 days. Early varieties bloom after 80, late &#8211; after 100 days. They are Blooming until frost. Young plants are sensitive to frost. They are sown out in 15 -20 cm intervals. Cowslips grow well in sunny spot and a heavier, calcareous soil. Rained abundantly grow luxuriantly, with abundant flowering. Young plants are sensitive to excess moisture. Seed germination continues for four years. They crossbred easily, so in order to grow a few varieties, it is necessary to isolate them (plant in 200 m distance).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dahlia is sown in boxes or in the seedbed. When frosts finish they are replanted 30 cm apart in the flower garden. Seed germination continues for three years. Rather rare breed dahlias is multiplied in cuttings, it is done in April.<br />
It’s time to sow marigold, lavender, zinnia in seedbed or into boxes.<br />
Lavender are cross-pollinating crops, in order to have a pure breed, it is necessary to isolate, planting of 300 to 500 meters distance. After it’s sown into inspections or in boxes they sprout after 2-3 weeks. The most appropriate germination temperature of 18-20 °. Later it’s replanted into seedbed with 150 plants in m<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Early varieties blossom after 85 days, late &#8211; after 100 &#8211; 120 days. Young plants are sensitive to moisture, quickly rot . Growing lavender is sensitive to high temperatures, they spindle. They are not afraid of frost and they are planted to flower garden in late May from 15 to 20 cm intervals. Seeds mature gradually and soon pass, germination continues for three years, up to 2000 seeds per gram.<br />
Zinnias are planted in boxes or in semi-warm inspections. That is light-and heat-loving plants. Zinnias are sensitive to frost. Resistant to drought, but if drought persists longer, the rings get smaller and lose color saturation. Seeds sprout after week. Germination period remains for three years. There are of 120 to 150 seeds per gram. In particular, are valued zinnias with solid or cushion rings, so seeds should be collected from the sides of 2 to 3 wheels. Middle Ring &#8211; tubular seed solid or cushion rings are worse (up to 50 percent).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Marigolds are valuable flowers. They are sown in cold inspections or in the boxes in the second half of April and they sprout week. Bloom begins after 60 to 70 days. The bloom of late varieties begins in 90 days. They abundantly bloom until frost. In order to produce pure varietal seed planted in 200 meters distances. There are less seeds and inflorescences often rot in rainy summers. There are about 300 seeds per gram, other species &#8211; up to 700 seeds per gram. Particularly valued are stunt marigolds varieties.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Schizanthus are planted in early April. They are planted to the permanent location when the danger of frost is over, 15 &#8211; 20 cm apart, in sunny spot.<br />
Impatiens balsams are sown in April. Sprouts are reseeded 3 × 3 cm. If the growth is strong- the top are cut to grow stronger stems. They are planted to the permanent location when the danger of frost is over, 25 cm apart.<br />
Portulaca – dwarf plant with creeping or arising stems. They have cylindrical leaves. Rings are solid or hollow, red, pink, yellow or white. Portulaca blooms from June to October. It’s sown in April in warm inspections or in boxes. They are planted to the permanent location in late May, 10 &#8211; 15 cm distance. And can be sown directly into the flowers garden, after that thinned out. But then these plants bloom 2 weeks later. It is planted in sunny spot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mimulus likes moist soil having a lot of humus, sunny location. It’s  planted in April in cartons or inspections. Sprouts will grow pricked out. They are planted to the permanent location when the danger of frost is over, 10 cm apart. Gacannia sown in boxes in early April, they are planted to the permanent location when the danger of frost is over, 20-25 cm apart. They like sunny places. They are Blooming by late frost.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Acidantera corms are planted in late April in beds in 8-10 cm depth. If they are planted deeper acidantera bloom weakly or don’t bloom at all. Rings grow from three-year cycles corms. Corms sprout after 15-20 days, they blossom only after 80 days, hence the importance of planting early. Acidantera will bloom earlier if in March they were planted in pots and then into beds. Offspring grow slowly, so before planting<br />
it is advisable to soak in warm water, adding soda (1 teaspoon per liter of water).<br />
Crocosmia are propagated corms, less seeds. Corms are planted in April, as soon as possible to enter into the soil as they grow long. They bloom in August-September.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Galtonia beds are planted in late April, in sunny places 20 &#8211; 25 cm distance of 10 -15 cm in depth depending on bulb size. Blooming in the shade it slightly, and then they don’t produce mature seeds. You can grow it from seeds. They are planted in late April to beds and filled with 1 cm thick layer of earth. Grow seedlings are thinned. In autumn each seedling produce bulb 1-1.5 cm in diameter. Bulbs in the autumn are dag out  and stored so as gladioli corms until spring. In the spring they are planted in beds 4-6 cm in depth. Plants from larger bulbs bloom starts in the second years and in the third ones usually  all seedlings starts blooming.<br />
Gladioli are planted in late April or early May.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Amanita tigridia planted in pots in early April, and in the field &#8211; only after frost danger. Planted in 4 to 5 cm depth and in 15 cm distance. The soil should be easy, quite dry, with a lot of mold. Offspring are separated from the parent plants during the planting. Can replicate and seeds that are planted in prepared beds or at the beginning of April they are sown in boxes which are in greenhouses.<br />
In late April roses are planted. They root in better if they are still not blooming. Bought with the pots roses are planted only after danger of frost is over.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s spring . The birds singers are flying around . Now they need homes<br />
to hatch. So are there nesting-boxes? If not, hurry up and scold them. Places can be varied. One of them can be tied to a tree, the other nailed to the house vaults or raised above the roof , the third attach to the high cartel &#8211; which can be attached to the fence or corner of the greenhouse. Point nesting-boxes  to the east or southeast. The rising sun will wake up birds .<br />
Lets stoke the furnace. The heat is good for house, ash for the garden. Collect them. Liquor produced from the ashes &#8211; a good way to protect gooseberries, blackcurrants against fungal diseases (trails). It can be made and at home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Take 300 g of ash, pour a little water and boil for about 30 minutes. Then the fluid has to be removed, and diluted with10 liter of water. Sprinkle or spray shrubs with it. It can be done 2-3 times every week. More ash you can sift under the bushes. They contain potassium, calcium, magnesium and there’s no harmful chloride. Keep some ash and for strawberries. They have to be sprinkled after the flowering.<br />
It is time to spill mineral (potassium and phosphorus) fertilizers. The fertilization rate can be indicated only approximate. For better results, you should determine how much potassium and phosphorus is in the soil. If you don’t have this information, you should remember how the plantations grew last year, to know the composition of soil. Light soil has to be fertilized more with the organic and mineral fertilizers. Therefore, you should break out 4-5 kg of superphosphate, 3-4 kg of potassium on Are (100.m2) ( potassium sulfate should be used for currants).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the end of the month, you can start to prune the trees, you will need to have sharp tools: saw, pruning knife, clipper. Trees should be pruned from the ladder, because by climbing the tree, you can  break off many twigs of fruit, and branches which are needed for whorl. All wounds made during pruning and thinning should be lute with garden ointment. You can buy it in household goods store or make it at home. It’s recommended the following composition: one part lard or oil, two parts of wax and three parts of rosin. Wax can be replaced by paraffin and rosin by resin of conifers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Obtain and water-based emulsion paint which is used for painting the walls. As mentioned above, using them (diluted to 6-8 times) you can not only bleach tree trunks and thicker branches, but also protect fruit trees from cancer. You should add 2-3 percent fundazol or any other fungicide and lute with it  cancerous lesions. In addition, cancer can be treated with nigrol mixed with wood ashes (7: 3).<br />
In March, the seedbed is prepared to sow stratified seeds. You have to make some boxes, put some  manure, better horse manure, and on top of it pure the substrate (clean sand). Seedbed has to be covered with glazed windows, or window frame, covered with polyethylene film from both sides. It should be covered with straw at night.<br />
Periodically check the condition of grafts. If there is no snow  and ice melted, they can be tied on the string let down in to the well so that the bulb of grafts could reach a water just a bit.<br />
If you have bees, do not forget clean varnish, and if it’s grew warmer  to 12 &#8211; 13 °, then clean the bottom to, remove the marginal combs and insulate the nest  very well on all sides.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have no mineral fertilizers, you should buy them in March. If the soil for considerable periods of time was abundant trust of organic fertilizers, it is rich in nutrients available to plants, even without fertilizer the good harvest can be produced. Do not try to fertilize vegetables, as this may give the reverse effect. Let us not forget that many of the vegetables as carrots, cucumbers, onions are sensitive to high nitrogen and potassium salt concentrations. Ample fertilizer nitrogen fertilization of vegetables taste worse, it takes worse in the winter and in autumn it takes long to ripe. In addition,if you fertilize them with nitrogen fertilizers, the production abundant nitrate, which has a negative impact on human health. If the garden soil is not rich with organic material, the order that the vegetables were abundant, it should be enough fertilized with mineral fertilizers. it is sprinkled in the  garden with different amounts, depending on the type of vegetables. vegetables growing in 10 m2 should have 0,2 &#8211; 0,5 kg of nitrogen, 0.3 to 0.7 kg of phosphorus and 0.1 to 0.6 kg of potassium fertilizer. Planning how much fertilizer you need, remember that vegetables yield per hectare takes about 20 &#8211; 40 kg nitrogen, 10 &#8211; 15 kg of phosphorus and 30 &#8211; 50 kg of potassium-active material, which roughly equals about 100 kg of potassium nitrate and 50 to 90 kg of superphosphate. If the soil is a lot of mold, do not worry about microelement fertilizers &#8211; the plants entirely sufficient. If there is  a little mold in the soil, the microelement fertilizer increases the yield and improve its quality. Crop production, produced without fertilizers, and more regarded as nutritional assessment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do not forget stored potatoes, verify condition and regulate temperature and humidity. Time to sow early Cabbages, cauliflowers, Brussels, and other red cabbage, celery, leek, spice vegetables, then tomatoes, chili and other vegetable witch like warm seeds in boxes. Let us not forget that in the warm weather and insufficient light, the plants quickly spindle, so it&#8217;s best to grow below 20 ° C. It is time to sow green vegetables in heated greenhouses. Cover spring greenhouses with polyethylene film that they could gradually go out ambushes, the soil could get warm and dry. It&#8217;s time to start sprout early potatoes. Tubers may be added to the thick layer in boxes or ventilated polyethylene bags, even strung on twine and hang in light. Review the garden. Places where the multi-annual and Biennial vegetables (sorrel, rhubarb, onions, parsley and herbs)is growing, accelerate the melting of snow, by removing it from the surface or  by sprinkling  surface with peat or ash.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Greenhouses planted with Celosia, Verbena, petunia, red-blossom sage, Chinese pink. Celosia likes heat, light and moisture. Sown in boxes, sprout after two weeks. It’s held from 15 to 18 ° C. Sprouts is sown only after danger of frost, in early June. Celosia isn’t sensitive to replanting, friable planted in the fertile land that could be fertilized with manure. Grow well and abundantly blooming in sunny spots. It’s for three months from sowing to flowering. And it’s blooming until first frost. Rainy summer seeds hardly become mature. Celosia seeds ripen starts the first month after blooming start. Matures gradually. Seed germination continues for five years.<br />
Verbena develops slowly, and therefore is sown in the boxes in March. Seeds grow differently. It’s held from 15 to 18 ° C and sprouts after three weeks. If the temperature is higher, for example 20 &#8211; 25 ° C they sprout after two weeks. Duration is of 3.5 months from sowing to flowering. It’s blooming until late autumn. If it’s planted in sunny place it’s blooming great even in poor or sandy soils. In Lithuania seed matures in hot dry summer. Seeds begin to mature month after plant blooming is over. Mature quickly passes. One gram holds about 400 seeds. They remain germination for two years.<br />
Petunia is sown in mid-March or at the end of the box. Seeds are small, so easily sprinkled with sand. Sown in a rare distances they get ill if it’s sown near. They sprout in 10 &#8211; 12 days.  They need to be held in 18 &#8211; 20 ° C. When the seedlings grow, reseed in 2 × 3 cm. They start blooming in the 70 &#8211; 75 days. Seeds mature. They remain germination from 3 to 4 years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Petunia tolerate drought well, not demanding to soil, grow well and rainy summer. It’s Blooming till the late frost.<br />
Red-blossom sage sown in boxes in early March. It’s light and moisture loving flowers. Sensitive to frost, frost damages and weakens them. Grow well on light sandy loam and loam soil. It’s lasts for 120 days from sowing to flowering. It’s blooming until the first frost, one bloom is blooming for 3 days. The seed matures and are collected gradually, as the ripe soon pass. Dry summer sage produces less. Seed germination remain till 5 years. The older seeds are, the less germination is produced. In Lithuania variety with red flowers are common. However, there are varieties of pink, white and purple flowers.<br />
Matthiola, godeces, Chinese sweet- are sown at ten-second.<br />
Chinese sweet- loves the light and heat. It’s sensitive to spring and autumn frost. It can’t stand the fresh manure. Seeds sprout after week. Bloom starts after 70 &#8211; 90days and lasts till frost. The Blooms are solid, white, dark red, purple. Seed germination remains 4 years.<br />
Penstemon likes a sunny location, heavier fertilized soil. It’s planted in the boxes in March. Flowering last from June to October. It’s reseeded in the permanent location in May, in 20 &#8211; 25 cm distance.<br />
In order to have a halo before flowering, it is necessary to sow them in March in the boxes or the seedbed. Before sowing seeds need to soak potassium permanganate (1 g per liter of water) solution for 15 minutes. After that wash them with water and sown. Plants get sick less if there seed is pour with a clean river sand when it is sown. Best germination is reached from 18 to 20 ° C, it sprout after 7 days. Sufficient to grow the plants from 15 to 16 ° C. It’s starts blooming after 4 months. Seed germination continues for three years. One gram is about 300 seeds.<br />
This month reseed Begonias, Lobelias, multiplied pelargonium cuttings, chrysanthemums and a variety of houseplants. Tuberous begonias rather rare breed propagated cuttings.<br />
Houseplants grows intensive. They need to be abundantly watered and fertilized.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">June is the first month of summer. All plants in the garden is growing very fast, but there is only few that blooms. This year fruit trees cuttings have grown longer, new leaves are spreading. Fruit trees and berry bushes now need light, water and heat very much. And they need nutrients even more. And if the gardeners can’t control the heat, they can make shore there are enough water and nutrients. The dry soil is irrigated as deep as possible, that the deeper roots would be able to take water. It’s useful to irrigate smaller shrubs and saplings with tan slurry. Before the watering they are diluted 5-7 times, and without them &#8211; in 10 1 water are added 30 to 50 g of urea or 50 g of ammonium nitrate. Around the tree (cluster) shallow groove is excavated using garden fork, and it’s poured with this fertilizer. Then, when fertilizer is absorbed, soil is smoothed and weeds are pulled out because they took too many nutrients, the plants are wasted by them. Now fruit fertilization through the leaves using nitrogen fertilizer really increased. But this is done when the trees grow poorly, or you want to delete sprouting scab spores. The literature indicates that 0.3 percent urea solution (30 g of urea in 10 1 water) sprayed trees before it comes into their young leaves are protected from scab. But these trees should be sprayed with fertilizer 20 hours after the rain. Later, when leafs get bigger, concentration is increased till 0, 4-0, 5 percent. (40- 50 g of urea in 10 1 water). For the first time trees are sprayed after the fruit trees finish blooming. At this time of the fertilization can be added a little boric acid to the solution (one are of garden about 6 g). This boric acid completely compensated boron deficiency.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Intelligently spraying the fruit trees with nitrogen fertilizers and maintaining cleanliness and order in the garden, whole fruit can be grown without fungicides. Well, if these measures fail, then Garden (also after the rain) is sprayed with chemicals.  Gooseberries which are sick with trails are sprayed with 0.5 percent calcined soda solution, added some economical soap.<br />
There’s a lot of work in strawberry patch. Strawberries sprouts are inspected. Unbecoming (a weed) are pulled out of beds, as well as those mustache, of which we will not collect sprout for propagation. Strawberries are propagated only from the fertile and healthy sprouts mustache. Therefore, these sprouts are marked with pole and allowed to grow their mustache to form rosettes. Scheduled for a new place for growing strawberries in advance sets the soil.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And how you should prepare the ground, if you had just got the garden plot? There should be no rush. Everything should be done intentionally, consistently. First of all the ground should smoothed, all the stones should be elected, you should determine the soil composition and acidity. To the sandy garden clay must be brought, and to the clayey garden sand and peat are brought. Prepare the manure and peat compost, buy fertilizer and fertilize a lot, plow the land deep (up to 50 cm). Lay out the plot, think about the location construction of buildings, where will be rest area, garden. Saplings and the berry-bushes must be planted by tribesmen separated, a young garden can grow more strawberries, raspberries can be planted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finish seeding all the vegetables. When rye (June 5-17 ) and the simple thorns (June 7-22 ) starts blooming all vegetable that likes heat sprouts are planted. During the first decade the medium-emergence cabbage are planted. Leafy vegetables of early sowings have grown crops and for the late harvest is time to sow them again. At the beginning of the month beets and carrots can still be sown for storing in winter. Sow radish for storage in winter, cauliflowers for second harvest. Most of the time is given to vegetable maintenance work. It would be a thinning and replanting, soil loosening and weeding, watering, additional fertilization, the fight against diseases and pests, and other maintenance work. In June, late frosts can still come, which may cause significant damage, especially for heat loving vegetables.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both thinned out and replanted vegetables must be watered and this work must be repeated, especially in dry weather. Depending on biological properties of vegetables soil is loosen in varying depth. Root-crop vegetables, which roots is in skin-depth in the beginning, and when the formation of roots continues, goes deep, loosening  soil begins in the upper layer of buds about 5 cm depth, while roots ends growing up the soil is loosening to 15 cm depth. Cucumber and cabbage vegetables soil loosening begins in deeper depth and when the root system expands to arable layer, soil loosening ends in  upper arable layer to 5 cm depth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Early Cabbages and cauliflowers are forming loafs and heads, so they need plenty of water and nutrients. They can be irrigated using fertilizer solution, 10 1 of water  with 30 g of ammonium nitrate and potassium chloride and 80 g of superphosphate. The solution is suitable for beetroot and tomatoes too. For cucumbers and other vegetables, fertilizer is reduced by half. Those cauliflowers heads which has started the formation must be covered using stave in and recurve sheets. In the case of tomatoes, they are tethered to a pole on the second hot. Constantly break of their shoots, not giving them a strong fork. Support cartels are made from wickers or nesters for convolvulaceous beans and peas. Onions, which began to shape bulbs, should not be watered. When the lush foliage encloses the soil surface vegetables soil loosening must be stop. Potatoes are accumulated 2-3 times. The last time they are accumulated before the haulms cover the interbeds.  Tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbages are earthed too. The vegetables, which were not fertilized in spring with mineral fertilizers and they are growing in barren soil, in addition are fertilized by using the mineral fertilizers. All garden plant debris should be digested with peat, manure, mineral fertilizers. Compost pile should be spaded every mount. If we have slurry, pour them into the pile, because they accelerate the digestion of vegetable waste. Supervise the compost pile – because it can grow with weeds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vegetables grown in the glasshouses are irrigated, ventilated and fertilized by using the addition fertilizers. Hotbed windows and even glass in a greenhouse can be bleached with lime, then the temperature drops. Tomatoes are irrigated less frequently, but abundant, preferably it’s done before noon. Temperature is maintained at 15-30 ° C. Cucumbers need less ventilation, and they grow better in more wet and muggy air than tomatoes. It’s best to pour them in the noontime. Let us not forget that most varieties of cucumbers and their hybrids are pollinated by bees. Greenhouse’s vegetables are irrigated with similar or slightly weaker level fertilizer solution then field vegetables.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Considerable damage to vegetable crops is done by pests, and some of the disease does enter into a stronger expression. It is therefore necessary to comply with the so-called prophylactic or phytosanitary rules. Remove stronger sick plant organs or whole of the plant damaged with disease, supervise that there would no origins of the disease left in the soil, and that they would not be transmitted through the used gear, other measures, and that we would not transfer them by ourselves. In June, more damage is done by such pest as brassica and onion fly. We use pest repellent and eliminating measures, as well as in May.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In June, Gladioli are additional fertilized, at first using ammonium nitrate (40 g / m 2) and when there are grown 4-5 leafs they are fertilized using potassium nitrate or potassium salt (40 g / m 2). When the emergence of flower buds starts, they are fertilized with potassium and phosphorus fertilizers (30-40 g/m2). Red blooming sage, begonias, celosia and other frost-sensitive flowers are planted in the flower garden, because in June the first decade of the risk of frost is really small. This month the majority of bulb flowers complete blooming, these flowers are replaced by annual flowers. Finalize flowers bloom and the Biennial flowers: pansy, forget- it’s also replaced by summer flowers: marigold, begonias, and others.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don’t forget to seed the two-yearly flowers: orphans, forget-me-shiver carnations fox-gloves, bells and others. Their sprouts will grow till the autumn and will be perfect to change flowers or the rings. Bells, pansy are planted in beds or the seedbed at the end of June. Densely sprouted shoots needs to be thinned out. The plants are planted in a permanent place in September in 15 × 20 cm distance, and the bells and Turkish carnations in 15 x 25 cm distance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Less common ornamental shrubs can replicated by cuttings by ourselves. Reproduction can be done in beds, sealed with a polyethylene film, or hotbeds. In beds and inspects the fertile land layer are poured over by 3 cm layer of clean river sand. Coarse sand is more suitable. Substrate is moistened and prepared cuttings are planted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cuttings harvested 10-15 cm in length depending on the plant species. They are carried out pursuant to 2 cm depth. Planted Cuttings are sprayed and covered up using polythene film. Most of the cuttings roots after 2-3 weeks. In the first year they are left in reproduction bed for winter. They should only be planted in the spring.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Peony blossom abundantly if they are well-irrigated at least once a week. Especially watering is useful during the formation of flower buds, during and after flowering, when the peony store forces for flowering the following year. It’s often complained that peony stow buds, but don’t blossom. Part of the shoots get dark, after some time they whiter up. Sick part of the plant must be immediately removed, plants are sprayed with 0.3 percent. fundazol solution. The disease is spreading more in moist and warm spring and summer. It’s useful to water sick peony at least twice a week with potassium permanganate solution. Don’t fertilize peony with nitrogen fertilizers too much.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In June it’s recommended to spray paniculate phlox with 0.3 percent fundazol solution, this will help prevent mildew. Without fundazol, you can spray them with a solution of laundry detergent.  Take three handful of washing powder into 10 liters of water. The spraying is repeated after two weeks. Such preventive spraying will prevent mildew from spreading.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If clematis heads drops and leaves get brown, as soon as possible you need to spray them with 1 percent bordeaux liquid, or 0.5 percent zineb solution. If the clematis droop was observed last year, without waiting for signs of disease spray them with mentioned products in June. Spraying has to be repeated several times. Acidic soil is conducive to the spread of these diseases. So it is useful to water clematis soil at least once using lime milk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the end of June the early tulips, Jacinta, saffron, snowdrops, puschkinias are excavated only if there is need to replicate them. After all, they may grow unexcavated in one place: muscari, snowdrop for 5-7 years, others for 3 &#8211; 4 years.<br />
Do not forget to choose erythronium seeds. Sown in June, they sprouts only in the following spring. Erythronium is multiplied using the fresh seeds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Container gardening is a fun and rewarding hobby that is enjoyed by millions of people all over the world.  Not only is it relaxing and enjoyable, but you get the satisfaction of knowing that you&#8217;re growing your own plants and you know where they came from!  With more and more stories on the news about various outbreaks of food poisoning from things like lettuce and green onions, many people are finding it important to start growing as much of their own produce as possible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many people are afraid to deal with container gardening.  They think it is too difficult or too expensive.  On the contrary, it is actually very easy and can be quite inexpensive!  Here we explore the ease of setting up your first container garden, as well as the expenses involved.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We&#8217;re going to walk you through the process of setting up your first container garden.  In this example, we will be growing some basil.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Step One:  Purchase your container gardening supples.  You will need the following items for this example.  Three plastic pots with drainage holes in the bottom, preferably with trays underneath to catch soil and water drainage, about 5-6 inches in diameter, and 5-6 inches deep, one packet of basil seeds, one small bag of organic compost, one small bag of peat moss, one small garden trowel, one small watering can or clean spray bottle, and one very sunny windowsill (or a florescent or halogen grow light if no sunny window is available.)  The total cost for these materials will be somewhere around $20 or less if you have a sunny windowsill.  If you need a grow light, that will cost an additional $15-$20.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Step Two:  Prepare the soil.  Mix together 1 part peat moss with 5 parts compost.  (For every one trowel full of peat moss, put in 5 trowels full of compost.)  Fill the three pots up to about ½ inch from the top with this mixture.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Step Three: Plant the seeds.  Simply make a hole about 1 inch deep in the center of each pot with your finger.  Put about three seeds into each hole.  Then cover the seeds with soil.  Water lightly and place in the windowsill or under a grow light.  Once the seeds sprout and reach about 2 inches in height, remove any extra sprouts so that you only have one plant in each pot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Step Four:  In order to care for your plants, all you need to do is water them regularly and keep them maintained.  Check the soil daily for moisture.  Whenever the soil feels dry, water lightly.  To maintain the bushy growth, pinch off the tops of each stem every couple of weeks and remove any flower stalks as soon as you see them growing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That&#8217;s it!  It&#8217;s really that simple to start a container garden.  In this example, we planted basil, but you can apply this method to practically any herb, small vegetable, or flower, with only minor modifications.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gardening is perhaps one of the best hobbies that a more laborious nature lover can take up. The reason why I choose to call this hobby laborious is because it surely does involve a good deal of physical activity. This hobby is not meant for those nature lovers who simply want to bask in the natural beauty that already exists. Rather it is an ideal pass time for those who want to make their own contribution to the nature.</p>
<p>In order to be successful in gardening one must have the following qualities: -</p>
<p>1.) Besides having a love for gardening you should also have the will and determination to pursue your hobby.</p>
<p>2.) You must be physically fit and agile. Laziness and gardening are anonymous to each other.</p>
<p>3.) Learn to exchange your ideas and information with like-minded people who can show an equal passion for gardening.</p>
<p>4.) Try laying your hands on almost any books, magazines or articles that can enhance your knowledge on gardening.</p>
<p>5.) Be prepared to invest a small amount of your earnings in purchasing the “Can’t do without”, gardening tools.</p>
<p>The world of gardening is wide and it has immense possibilities for those who want to explore it with the right zeal and enthusiasm. You can choose from indoor gardening, outdoor gardening, landscaping, cultivating exotic herbs, growing bonsais and thus the list is endless. However it is important to do a fair amount of research work before delving into any of the above fields. You should master up the art of choosing the right plants and also learn the techniques favorable for their productivity and growth.</p>
<p>Growing plants is not enough. Deciding where the plants should grow is also an important aspect of gardening. Nothing can be more distasteful than a garden which has color clashing flowers growing all around in a haphazardly manner. So be careful about allocating the plants their respective locations. Arrange the assortments of flowers in accordance with their heights, textures and colors so that they complement each other without diminishing the beauty of your garden.</p>
<p>Keep aside one day from the entire week to be your gardening day. Generally week -ends would be a good choice. On this day, equip your self with all the essential gardening tools and accessories and get down to your work. If you have children or friends who are equally interested in gardening call for their assistance. The more the merrier!</p>
<p>Once you are done for the day clean your tools well and store them in their right place. Be sure to maintain your gardening tools because well maintained tools can give you years of good performance. After all tools aren’t something that you can afford to buy every week.</p>
<p>Whether you are an efficient gardener or not can be best proved by your garden itself. So stop twiddling your thumbs and put your green fingers to use. As far as gardening is concerned, if you have really put in hard work your efforts will never go futile.</p>
