    For many years I suffered from recurrent headaches, I tried different methods - massage, baths, and exercises, there was no particular long-term effect. I was completely desperate, because I am an opponent of pills, but then, as is usually the case, help came quite unexpectedly.

    My husband's friends came to visit us - a married couple from Feodosia. And I just had a migraine attack. And the guest, seeing my condition, said that in such cases she is treated with fragrant herbs, and lavender, which she grows herself, helps her best of all.
    To begin with, she gave me lavender oil to breathe, and then we bought lavender in a flower shop and made syrup: we poured 0,5 liters of boiling water over it, insisted, then strained it a day later, squeezed out the rest.

    Then 0,5 kg of granulated sugar was added, stirred until completely dissolved and boiled over low heat until a thick syrup, stirring occasionally. I began to take it like this: 1 tsp, washed down with water, 3 times a day for 30 minutes. before meals. And I must say that since then the headache attacks first became weaker, and then completely disappeared.
    And in order not to depend on the shops, I began to grow lavender in my garden. This plant is not very whimsical, the main thing for her is as much sun as possible and hilling in spring and autumn. But for drying I collect during flowering, as soon as the inflorescences are fully opened, at this moment the color and aroma are the most intense.
    I dry lavender, like other plants, in a warm, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.

      I have been noticing for a long time that especially large and clean potatoes grow next to horseradish, which, from nowhere, was once taken on the site. How many times I tried to fight him, but he stubbornly appears again. In short, I waved my hand: grow, if you have such a love for potatoes! Here he is the Colorado beetles and scares away in gratitude.

      I also noticed that growing bush beans with potatoes is effective, since beans, like horseradish, repel the Colorado potato beetle, and potatoes, in turn, protect the beans from the ladybug.
      And potatoes get along well with beets (I usually plant them along the edge of the field), cabbage, garlic, onions, parsley, lettuce, radish. But with horseradish - the best.

    Lavender soothes the heart

    From the age of 20, she suffered from attacks of strong palpitations during any excitement. I tried valerian, motherwort, etc. - helped, but after a few years they stopped working. And then a friend advised me to take lavender. It grows at my friend's dacha, so at first I asked her for a little. I tried it - it helps, and I decided to grow it in my small garden too.
    Since it is quite difficult to grow lavender from seeds, I took cuttings from the same friend (they must be taken in the spring from non-flowering shoots).
    The plants took root well with me, and as soon as the flowers fully opened and a persistent aroma appeared, I collected them and dried them in the yard, where we always have a shadow (you can’t in the sun - they will lose their medicinal properties).
    In winter, at the first need, I made a tincture.
    For this, I took 3 tsp. dry plant in 2 cups boiling water. I insisted for 10 minutes, filtered and drank throughout the day.
    Since then, I no longer use any other means, lavender helps perfectly.

    As you know, lavender seeds need to be stratified. Once I sowed them in plastic bowls and left them in the refrigerator for about a month, then took them out and put them on the windowsill. Silence ... Nothing came up at all! Although it was already March on the calendar. Out of frustration, she took the containers out into the street, deciding to throw them away a little later. Imagine my surprise when I opened the film a week later and saw a thick brush of lavender shoots. Sometimes plants need to be given a second chance too.

    Lavender is a real miracle of nature. Gardeners, bees, herbalists, artists, poets, perfumers love her. So I fell in love with lavender when I visited the Crimea and saw the fields of this plant blooming and fragrant like a sea like the sea. Then I decided that I would definitely plant lavender in my country house.

    I bought a young bush at the fair. Over the summer, he grew up well and even bloomed. Lavender does not like excessive watering, as roots can rot. In the spring after planting, she fed it with urea (1 tbsp. Per bucket of water). To feed one bush, 5 l of solution is enough. In the first year, I did not trim. And now, when my plant is 5 years old, annually I cut the stems with blossoming flowers. I dry them. These branches can be put in a vase, can be put in a cupboard from a moth, or can be brewed like tea. I make 1 tbsp. l dried raw materials with a glass of boiling water, I insist 15 minutes. and drink under reduced pressure.
    Now I have 4 lavender bushes. I propagated them with cuttings. I cut them from the middle part of the stem with a sharp knife close to the kidney, removed leaves and flowers. The end of the handle was dipped in a root growth stimulator and placed in a sand pot. She made sure that the sand was moist, and also sprayed the stalk with water. Two months later, the cuttings took root, and I planted them in the open ground. She covered her well with spruce branches for the winter (leaves cannot be covered, since the roots will rot). Plant lavender in your country house and you will fall in love with the scent of its flowers forever!
