    I have a lowland in the northern part of the garden, and moss grows there. I do not care for him in any way - I only water sometimes, if there is a prolonged heat. With this moss I decorate the soil around roses, thuja and perennial flowers. It looks very beautiful. The only negative - winter comes, and beauty disappears under the snowdrifts. For this case, I have another secret method - decorating flower mosses with moss (I use clay pots without a glossy finish). I gather green moss at the end of summer. I grind it in a blender with kefir (a glass of kefir for 2-3 handfuls of moss). I take a brush and put the resulting slurry on the pot. Then I wrap the pot in plastic wrap and place it in the sun. After 2 weeks, the pot begins to “bloom”, it turns green, covered with a thin thin layer of moss. It turns out a real masterpiece. If you anoint stones with this mass, for example, on an alpine hill, they will also be covered with attractive moss.

    In September, it is time to trim faded perennials: delphinium, bells, daylilies, irises, phloxes, dicentre, astrancy. But peonies, astilbe and hosts of many varieties retain their decorative appearance for quite some time, and pruning of these plants is carried out as it is lost, and not on a clear schedule.

    In August-September I harvest strawberry (strawberry) leaves, tea from them is incredibly useful. After harvesting the leaves, I first knead 3-5 hours in the shade in the breeze, then knead and stack in a cardboard box where I leave for the night. After - dry in a well-ventilated place under a canopy on a baking sheet. I store it in a large tin can. Tea from strawberry leaves helps with colds, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidney diseases. I'm brewing 1 tsp. 0,5 L hot water (not boiling!).

    Many cold-resistant crops (lettuce, spinach, dill) are sown early, but for several years now we have rains in the Krasnodar region in spring. As a result, under the influence of prolonged precipitation, the lower leaves of plants (in particular, lettuce) get wet and begin to rot. Especially if the crops are thickened.
    To exclude excessive moisture and prevent rotting leaves, I had to artificially dry the soil. I tried to pour dry river sand under the young plants. As a result, water began to quickly pass through the sand into the lower layers of the soil, the sand quickly dried up, and the leaves ceased to suffer from constant exposure to moisture.
