FORGET ABOUT EXOTIC

And you don't need to do this - many plants for a fragrant drink may already be in your flower beds. Most of them have long been known and widespread, and some are only winning the hearts of gardeners. On such a flower bed, you can plant an entire tea garden and use a range of pleasant aromas for brewing.

PLANTS FOR TEA - WHAT TO PLANT

What kind of plants can be planted here? Your choice depends on what taste you like best and what is best for you, but in accordance with the climate and space that the garden has. Among the main ones are peppermint and catnip, monarda and oregano, marjoram and thyme. To make the drink play with fragrant notes, you can add hyssop and sage, as well as lovage and tarragon. Do not forget about chamomile, lavender, lemon verbena, stevia, yarrow and dill, and raspberry leaves are also useful.

You can also plant several bushes of Kuril tea, which has long been known and revered by the inhabitants of the Far East and Siberia, both to quench their thirst and to improve their health. Or cinquefoil shrub - a beautiful, long-flowering plant.

Note

When forming a "tea" flower garden, it should be remembered that it should be located in a well-lit place. When planting, it is necessary to take into account the height of the plants in adulthood. For example, tall stems of mint, lemon balm, willow tea should not shade thyme and chamomile - it is better to plant them in the background.

WHERE IS SUNNY AND WARM

Typically, tea plants are grown in raised beds, where there is no heavy soil and stagnant water. They, as a rule, warm up well, snow melts faster here. It is ideal, for example, to plant such plants in the place where cucumbers, potatoes, peas, beans, beans, and cabbage were previously grown.

Perennials that will settle here will need to be protected from weeds and their rhizomes. They are usually planted in the fall. Before this, it is necessary to prepare the soil well, enriching it with humus at the rate of: 4 kg per 1 sq. m. And, of course, it's good if you can separate the tea beds around the perimeter with a protective tape or border. This will prevent neighboring plants from disturbing and interfering with their growth.

1 glass of ash is poured into the prepared holes, as well as a little compost and coarse sand, then 3 liters of water are poured. After planting the plants, their stems are cut so that they rise 5 cm above the soil surface. They are mulched with sand or dry grass, and you can also sprinkle them with peat. And so that the plantings are not exposed to the invasion of slugs, superphosphate is poured around the perimeter of the garden or flower bed.

It is only necessary to collect the leaves in the spring, and only those that have wintered several winters and turned black.

I have been a grocery store clerk for many years, but I won't be for long.
to tell how difficult it is to communicate with some buyers, because people are all different. She used to sob for hours because of rude unfair remarks, and didn’t sleep at night, and wrote a letter of resignation more than once, but in the end she returned, because the town is small, it’s hard to find work, and the child (I’m raising him alone) needs to be fed every day .

I started to take sedatives, but there is valerian almost everywhere, and I can’t stand it very well - I immediately start to feel sick, so I had to refuse. And once I got into a conversation with my middle-aged neighbor and complained to her about her troubles, she immediately went home and brought me a small bag of dried grass, which emitted a pleasant aroma. It turned out that this is lemon balm, which she grows in her garden. And so, the next day after work, I made myself lemon balm tea (3 tablespoons per 1 glass of water, insisted for 10 minutes under the lid), and added honey instead of sugar. I wanted to sleep almost immediately, and most importantly, I didn’t even toss and turn in bed, but passed out immediately. Since the donated bag quickly emptied, I asked my mother to plant lemon balm in my garden. Now I drink this magical tea myself with pleasure and advise everyone who needs peace of mind.
