Fragrant garden with own hands and flowers for it
Admiring the plants, we use all our senses. We admire the beauty of form and the nuances of colors, we enjoy the taste of fruits and the aroma of flowers and herbs.
They fill our life with special joy - that is why we love our garden friends and value them so much. And not the last place in this row is occupied by fragrant plants. Their pleasant aroma evokes a whole gamut of positive emotions, tunes in the right wave: relaxes and pacifies, invigorates and tones, cleanses and inspires - these feelings are simply necessary for us.
Fluffy flowers and herbs are always welcome: intuitively we tend to bend to a flower and sniff it, savoring the nuances of smell - or involuntarily grieving, not catching the expected flavor. Among the plants that have a smell, there are many species that have long been used in cooking, perfumes, medicine.
Growing them in your garden, we get the opportunity to enjoy them not only in the summer, but also to collect and use them in a variety of ways - to brew tea, add to sauces, salads, desserts and jam, dry for the winter, using in a bath, in gums, in the quality of herbal teas and medicinal dues.

SHADOW DIVERSITY FOR GARDEN
Plants that have a pronounced aroma, a lot. These are some trees and shrubs, various annuals and perennials.
The roses loved by everyone bring joy not only to their inimitable flowering, but also to the possibility of collecting scented petals, to cook from them delicious jam or to insist exotic liquor, to dry for winter use in sachets and tea gatherings.
Many growers gladly grow white lily and l. royal, not only because of the beauty of their flowers and very strong, pleasant fragrance, but also as an important component of effective grinding, and the petals of the Chaebus coronoid are used as an adequate substitute for southern jasmine for use in tea blends.
Robinia (white acacia), lilacs and chubushniki, white lily, wild (species) and garden roses - this is not a complete list of fragrant plants that fill our garden with pleasant aromas.
Among the herbaceous cultures there are those that are not only relevant in the modern garden, but are simply necessary.
These are species that grow in our climate, and those that occur naturally in more southerly latitudes, but if desired they can be tamed and successfully grown in our gardens.
It is lavender, hyssop, thyme and savory, oregano, melissa and various kinds of mint, cats and sage, wormwood and medicinal herbs, tarragon, myrrh fragrant, geranium, nasturtium, fenugreek, feverfew, chamomile and rue, coriander, anise, caraway and fennel , dill and parsley. If you want some sort of fragrant exotics, you can plant rosemary, although in our lands, he does not want to winter in the open ground - it can be grown as an annual plant, moving to the window sill for winter time.
Fragrant garden - designer tips
All fragrant aromatic plants have a pronounced phytoncide effect - they are really good for health. These crops refresh, heal the air of themselves, attract beneficial insects to the garden and repel pests.
Many of the listed herbaceous plants have decorative forms and varieties, differing in color, size, hints of odor, resistance to weather conditions. They can be used with other cultures. Often this becomes so habitual, and we overlook that originally these plants were used specifically in cooking, medicine. Growing them on special beds and in modules, we accentuate their special significance.
CONTAINERS FOR THE SHOWER GARDEN
A fragrant garden can be broken not only in a flower garden or on a bed - fragrant grasses can be grown in ceramic pots and any other attractive containers. This way of maintaining has its advantages.
In the spring, when the warm weather has not yet set in, the potted plants can be grown on the windowsill, in the winter garden or in the greenhouse, in the summer - taken out into the garden, exposed on the grounds near the entrance to the house or on an open terrace, suspended in hanging pots, and in autumn extended period of vegetation, again putting in heat, and some heat-loving plants can only be saved in winter.
In addition, the container can contain the growth of such aggressive, rapidly growing crops, such as mint. This is especially true when we are limited in area.

AROMATIC MODULAR GARDEN
By breaking a modular garden garden on raised beds, I always try to take one or two of them to a fragrant garden, even if the same plants are repeated in flower beds or in free, mixed plantings with other garden crops.
In the garden it is easier to create certain conditions necessary for certain plants: here you can control the application of fertilizers, the use of protective equipment. This is especially important if we use them for poverty and medicines.
But such beds can very well be decorative and even spectacular.
Plants in them can be supplemented with attractive miniature roses, monarchs, echinacea, carnation of bearded, pinnate and grassy, fragrant peas, small mallow, matron's evening, geraniums, blue cyanosis, yarrow and throats, phloxes spread out and awl, purgans, hoods and cereals, and also a varicose calendula, basil of camphor, flax seed, cornflower blue, milk thistle, marigolds, poppies samosevka and pion-shaped and many others.
In the fragrant garden there can be a variety of decorative bows, the best for our purposes will be chive-onion, fragrant, slizun and ramson. Picking up the layout elements of this bed, you can bet only on the flyers and every year change the exposure and color solution.
Achieving the special expressiveness of our fragrant beds, it is possible to apply such large plants as rhubarb, elecampane and St. John's wort, a mallow and angelica, a mullein and lovage, asparagus officinalis and motherwort, a finely carnivorous peony and marjin root in joint plantings with aromatic herbs. These plants successfully complement our fragrant plantings, creating the necessary contrast of sizes and shapes.

FRAGRANT PLANTS IN THE GARDEN AND IN THE COTTAGE - SELECTION AND ADVICE FOR GROWING
FRAGRANT PLANTS - THE POULTRY HOUSE WILL DECORATE, FLUSH COMPOST
In a matter of weeks, we will again be able to enjoy the warm air, rich in the smell of lilies of the valley, hyacinths, daffodils and violets. Let's breathe deeply. It is known that many floral fragrances are not only pleasant, but also healing due to their volatile essential oils. Which flowers are on the list of the most fragrant? Charming annuals: night violet, honey alyssum, verbena, levkoy, tobacco, sweet pea, mignonette, heliotrope, mirabilis. And also shrubs - lilac, mock orange, rhododendron, bird cherry. And, of course, rose and peony.
Some of them emit aromas in the morning, others - at noon, and still others prefer the evening. Plant scented flowers along the paths. Or place them near the front door of the house. Or under a window. Or next to your favorite bench or gazebo.
But it's all romance. And there is also the prose of life - a compost heap, a latrine, a poultry house. Why not use these natural flavors there too?
SOWING TIME
In the second half of March, it's time to come to grips with the sowing of fragrant annuals.
In what condition is it better to sow the seeds - in dry, soaked or germinated, with sprouts? The last option is the most time-consuming and often unsuccessful, since fragile sprouts break easily. And dry seeds germinate for a long time. Therefore, it is better to soak them in warm water. You can add a few crystals of trace elements such as boron and magnesium. It is most convenient to use Mag-Bor fertilizer for this.
After soaking, the seeds are dried on paper for 10-15 minutes.
ROOTS NEED COOL
Golden rule: large seeds are sprinkled with a layer of sifted moist soil equal to three times the thickness of the seed; small ones are only distributed over the surface, scattered, without falling asleep with soil. Pots with crops are placed inside transparent polyethylene bags. The optimum temperature for seed germination of most flower crops is normal room temperature.
The time from sowing to the emergence of seedlings of the same sweet pea and tobacco is delayed up to 10-15 days, alyssum - up to 8-12. So be patient.
As for the temperature, it is desirable that during the daytime it does not rise above 16-18°C, and at night it would be 5°C lower. This contributes to the development of a powerful root system and saves seedlings from stretching.
Ready seedlings are planted in flower beds in a permanent place, as a rule, in the second half of May, and the most heat-loving plants - in early June, when it finally gets warmer.
NO PREVENTION
Seedlings of many flowers often suffer from blackleg, so preventive measures will not be superfluous.
Seeds are disinfected by immersing for 5-10 minutes in a fresh 1% solution of potassium permanganate (dark cherry color) or for 20 minutes in a 10% solution of hydrogen peroxide. Then washed in clean water.
The soil mixture should not contain manure humus and even compost, where black leg pathogens often remain for years. Experienced flower growers use for seedlings
pre-harvested turf, forest sheet or store-bought peat soil. If this one inspires concern, before using it, it must be thoroughly frozen on the street. At least a week.
To prevent the black leg, it is useful to lay a layer of calcined river sand on the surface of any soil, and even better - mixed with wood ash (3: 1).

I visited a dacha with my friend and was simply bewitched with the aroma of sweet-smelling tobacco! Now I'm on fire to make a sweet garden in my dacha! What can be planted there?
#
The perception of color and smell is so individual that it is difficult to give an unequivocal advice on the cultivation of certain species (varieties) of flowering plants. However, there are groups of plants that are traditionally grown in gardens and dachas for the purpose of flavoring the space.
Among annuals the most popular are alissum, ageratum, marigold, sweet pea, lemon, mirabilis, petunia, reseda, phacelia. Perennial scented plants, most often found in plantings: some (mainly old breeding) varieties of roses, lilies of the valley, peonies, lilies, hyacinths, phloxes.

Savory garden, or fragrant (Satureja hortensis) - an annual shrub with a height of only 30-40 cm.
In the people, the plant was called pepper grass, because our ancestors used it as a substitute for expensive pepper at the time. The taste of the chaiber is really quite hot, but the smell of the leaves is spicy, something reminiscent of marjoram. Chaiber can be safely added to salads, fish and meat dishes, as well as in sauces and soups.
Now this useful herb is a rare guest in our beds, although growing it is easy. Fix the omission! To do this, you will need a bright corner in the garden with fertile soil with good permeability. By the way, savory can be grown without problems in a pot on the balcony. Seeds (retain germination for 3 years) can be sown directly in the open ground (the ideal moment will tell the cherry: bloomed - it means
it's time to sow) or on seedlings in pots.
Important: savory sprouts in the light, so sprinkle seeds with earth only slightly.
Further care for the chaiber is reduced to a moderate watering. Fresh greenery for the kitchen can be torn throughout the growing season. For drying, the plants are cut off on the eve of flowering, around mid-July, and dried in the shade, after which, by the way, the fragrance only intensifies.

mountain savory (Saiureja montana) is very fragrant ...
It is a long-term half-shrub from the family Yakovtotkovye, up to 40-50 cm, with linear or linearly lanceolate, grayish-green leaves, abundantly blooming from July to September-October.
- Many confuse savory with thyme, but these are completely different plants. The flowers of the first are small, white, pink or purple, evenly distributed along the stems, forming a loose, elongated inflorescence. In thyme they are of the same color, but the inflorescence is capitate, and the leaves are more oval, besides the flowering of thyme begins already in June.
In general, the mountain chaher is unpretentious, frosty, drought-resistant, can grow in scattered penumbra, but it is more abundant and longer blossoms in the open solar areas of the southern exposition, since it comes from the Mediterranean. I grew it from seeds brought to me as a gift, planting them in loose soil at the end of April.
Periodically watered before emergence, for the winter slightly sprinkled with foliage. The next spring I fed a complex mineral fertilizer (20 g / m2), in June - a couple of times with an ash-herbal infusion. The bushes blossomed in the same year, since then they have multiplied well by self-seeding, they have formed a beautiful dense curtain, having survived from this place all the weeds. In the autumn, I do not cut off the twigs (low crop in spring), leaving the bees to the last flower. This plant is one of the best honey plants!
In the summer, beginning in June, I treat acquaintances with tea from the collection of 3-5 spicy aromatic herbs, including chabera (according to 0,5-1 st.l. crushed young shoots or flowers on the teapot). We drink it in a gazebo, arranged next to the fragrant plantings.
By the way, cut off twigs can be tied in small bundles and dried in a dry dark room, and in winter add to the compositions of dried flowers - the fragrance in the room will be persistent, healing.
In addition, savory in a small amount is useful as a seasoning for soups and salads, for example, in Bulgaria it is very popular when pickling cucumbers.

How to procure medicinal raw ruta?
#
Cut the inflorescence length of 15 cm, grasping and part of the stem. Then finely chopped and laid out to dry on paper (yen newspaper!) In the shade. At the beginning of flowering, the upper leaves are also cut off. They are harvested in the same way as inflorescences.
Apply fragrant rue as a medicine strictly according to the doctor's recommendations.
In diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: 15 g raw materials pour 100 ml of vodka. Insist 2 a week in glassware, mix once a day. Take 10 drops 3 once a day before meals.
#
How to root the fragrant is better to propagate vegetatively?
#
If the roach wintered last year's stems, they can be cut into cuttings or pinned to the ground - like layers that can be planted next spring. Cuttings are cut in May-June, length 10-15 cm. Recover to the first lower internodes.

Read that ruta fragrant plant is southern, thermophilic. What should be done to prevent the ruta from perishing in the middle belt?
Elena Svintitskaya, Yaroslavl

This southerner can still be grown in the middle lane. Even if last year's shoots will freeze, the rue tree will be perfectly restored at the expense of the young. It's good to put her on the roses: in the autumn she will fall with them under cover. Separately, the same growing under the winter cut to 20 cm. Cover with dry foliage and a double layer of "netkanka" on top of the arcs. To better maturation of shoots at the end of August, the root is watered with ashes.

How to grow a fragrant savory
Fragrant savory, or garden savory (Satureja hortensis), is a fairly compact annual plant with a peculiar aroma and delicate white-lilac flowers, capable of renewing self-sowing. Seeds are sown in late April or early May, in the middle zone of Russia, winter crops (in November) are also possible. Sowing scheme 5 × 30 cm. Seedlings are thinned out, so that in the end between the bushes there are 15 cm.
The savory is best suited for light sandy and loamy soils. The more fertile, the more the plant receives the sun, the more intense the aroma. Therefore, the garden is applied to 5-6 kg / square. m pereprevshego manure or humus, the soil is dumped on the bayonet shovel, and before sowing moisturize.
Grow savory and through seedlings. Before sowing the seeds are soaked for a day in a damp cloth, slightly dried to flowability and immediately plated to a depth of 0,5-1 cm, covering the bed with a non-woven material.
Shoots, as a rule, appear on 10 day. It is important that at this time the garden does not dry out. During the season, plantings are moderately watered, if necessary fed, the soil between the plants is shallow loosened.
In addition to the garden chabera, a mountain or winter (S. montana) is found in the culture. It is more frosty, drought-resistant, it can grow in partial shade.
It is grown as a spicy plant, but this is not for everybody - it is more sharp, burning. In one place, a mountain savory can be grown for 5 years without transplanting and dividing. But every spring, the twigs should be cut to form a neat and lush bush. Propagate it by seeds or vegetatively (dividing the bush, layering, cuttings). In winter, savory is spudded with peat or humus, covered with straw or dry leaves.
#
Seyu savory, when the frost ends: 4 rows of seeds on the loosened soil. At the aisle I leave 30 cm, then I thin the planting so that in the row between the plants there was 20-25 cm. I watered every other day. While savory does not grow, carefully weed the garden.
When the plants bloom, I begin harvesting for future use: I cut the tops in 10 cm from the ground. All the collected dried on paper in the shade, and then I separate the leaves and flowers. I store them in a glass jar.
I add to the "heavy" dishes (for 1-2 minutes before the end of cooking): fried mushrooms, fat pork, lamb, etc. The plant gives a piquant taste and improves digestion. I put the greens a little, otherwise the food will be bitter.
