During the cold periods peppers must be sowed under protection – in warm seedbeds , solarium. For fall production, in order to obtain seedlings, seeding is done between March 15 to April 15, in the warm seedbed. The sowing is done in rows at a distance of 5-6 cm and 5 cm at a time. When is sowed in the garden should be removed from the seedbeds with a lot of mud around the roots

For summer and fall crops, peppers are planted at the end of May and early June, after leading up to harvest crops sown early spring. In cold springs, if they delay the vegetation, they must be covered with a protective foil. Planting distance is 40 cm between rows and 30 cm at a time.
Care of the peppers.

Seedlings should be vigorous, healthy, with dark green leaves and strong roots. Planting period depends on the species. At planting, the soil around the roots are well plant so that no gaps remain in the dry outside air to penetrate. If land has been gained, it is good to put 300-400 g of manor in the nest, mixing it with earth.
Planting depth it is important, if it is too deep, plant growth will be hampered by lack of air, and if the planting is too on the surface, the seedlings will dry out. Watering is done according to the requirements that crop.

It is recommended not to grow the same plant 2 years in a row on the same spot as next year’s production will be much smaller and more low quality, mainly due to multiplication of diseases and pests, specific to that crop. It is good for a vegetable to be grown on the same plot again after 2-4 years. Very great importance is the land fall fertilization (fertilization base), ensuring the need for food for the next 2-3 cultures . Fertilizing the land is made along with the fall plowing, spreading manure very uniformly .
The seeds:
To obtain large vegetable production and the quality to be better you can use seed in certain conditions, like :
- Vegetable variety to be indicated for the specific soil and chosen land.
- Period of vegetation of the culture (varieties early summer, late, etc..).
- Germination quality of the seeds and their age.

It is good that you get the seeds from authorized manufacturers or specific stores. Of great importance is the seed treatment against diseases and pests. Seeds purchased from manufacturers are already treated in this respect.
Fertilization of the land is better to make using only organic fertilizer because it is healthier for your customers and for amateurs of vegetables that will appreciate this. The soil rich in nutritious substances will give a higher production and vegetables will be more palatable and better quality. Therefore vegetable garden must be fertilized every year.

Poultry litter

Just days before the general use , the powdered garbage it have to be mix with water, one part of manure and two parts water. The day you want to treat the plants add water treatment plant at a rate of 1: 10 if used for tomatoes, kale, onion and 1: 20 if used for cucumber, carrots, leeks.

The Alley of the garden, called in Japanese ROJI , is not only a functional item and is not only the entrance of the garden. It is a philosophical alley that separates the viewer, step by step, from the hectic and exhausting world of which he came. The stones of the alley are placed in a careful way and lead to irregularities more often indirectly, to hidden or obscure areas. The places where the path turns in one direction or another are popular and the visitor is tempted to stop and is, they represent, at another level the meditation periods of life .

The stones form in general the framework or the support structure of a Japanese garden and should be viewed as they were always there. Rugged stones suggests the mountain area and river stones, with fine and rounded surfaces are used in river beds or along riverbanks. The effect of the landscape elements are symbolic rather than realistic. For example, there is usually a lake or river island in the middle of the garden, which is the “island of eternal life” or Nirvana – a quiet place, outside time and space. It can be represented by a turtle-shaped stone or a tree, symbols of longevity and a prosperous life. The stones which form an island are picked with a lot of attention, becoming the fulcrum for Zen meditation. Number of stones should not be even, because Japanese culture, general, avoid symmetry. The stones should be arranged according to their sensitivity, helping to remove the one that reflects the anxiety and daily stress. Should be well polished in nature, devoid of corners and arranged in such a way as to be viewed from any angle of the garden, positioned in the asymmetric groups.

The most famous Zen garden is one of Ryoan-ji, the temple in Kyoto , the work of an anonymous author. Garden, called “Garden of Toranko-watashi” is a composition of 15 stones / isles placed in a large white sand surrounded by a wall of clay

Soil preparation is a cutting action. Before planting it with flowers, grass or trees should be stripped of leaves, wood frozen dead bulbs, roots of weeds, rocks or other debris. And because the frost has left its mark on his land needs to be dug and airy.

If you have a hedge in the garden now is the time to clean it very well and to cut it. Fruit trees, trees, shrubs and roses need the same treatment. On the other hand, if you want to plant fruit trees, shrubs or conifers, first month of spring is the most suitable.

Do not forget the lawn. Care or sowing it is necessary in March. To renew the grass mown it when it exceeds 5 cm and fertilizes the land. Even if the soil is still cold you can choose a hot day to plant seeds of different varieties of vegetables or flowers. Apply fertilizer on existing plants but also over open land.
Trees and shrubs have also special care needs . Besides fruit trees (the weather is too hot to be able to be cut safely, because they put thriving), you can adjust any tree found in the garden. First, make sure that you clean the dried branches – will be useful for a pruning knife height (it is actually a special Top Handle, modified so that it can be operated from the ground). Then remove branches that load too much crown and not allow the sun to reach the trunk. In the same way proceed with shrubs (Exceptions are also bushes that bloom early spring – you will recognize the buds that are ready to bloom).

Regarding the cultivation of flowers, an unwritten rule of gardening says the signal is given for the new season of Forsythia bush, whose prosperity is the starting point for cultivating new generations of plants. But until the right time, you can go to greenhouses, flowers and shrubs you choose and keep them in the house, in the interim containers.
Ornamental stones .Put natural stones for decoration around the flowers. Build with their boards of different shapes and sizes. It is advisable to do this before starting to plant other flowers or shrubs. You can find the stones on the banks of a river near your home or on the seashore, if you stay near it. After you complete the “restricted” plants of spring is better to watch what space you have left in the garden. Think about how many species of flowers and shrubs you want to plant and divides the garden section .

Get rid of weeds. Weeds grow very fast and don’t need to the weather to be warm for this. Clean the weeds that have grown around spring plants which they have already start to rise(snowdrops, brand, hyacinths, tulips, etc.). Also, while you dig don’t forget to pick weeds that have grown and throw them from those places. If you leave them in the ground , they will grow again because they are very resistant.
Get back to light ornamental garden statuettes, in case you’ve kept them over the winter to the shelter. If you do not have statues or other decorative garden ornaments you can buy at stores or you can order them online.

The Gardens centered in the south of the palace can be seen perfectly from the huge terrace. At the foot of the terrace stretches a huge fountain called Latonia fountain, whose construction was inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphosis.

The basin is surrounded by 6 urchin exit at the half of the water and another 24 placed on the platform on the lawn. Steps leading to the royal Alley is flanked by 18 statues, each 9 on each side. Called green carpet of grass strips in the middle because it is 335m long and 40m wide. At the end of royal alley is the basin of Apollo and its clear lead plated statue. The statue was made by Tuby between 1668 and 1670 by Le Brun’s sketches.

Gardens themselves, meaning plenty of greenery and different species of plants are in the north. And this theme is found throughout the basin water dragon whose water jet reaches 27m high and the basin of Neptune. The latter was astonishing by the 89 water effects achieved with the hydraulic system. All four statues are grouped, as are highlighted four seasons, four continents, four temperaments etc.. There is a central alley flanked by a large shrubbery. Near it is situated the Grotto of Tethys and a pyramid which is the equivalent of Latonia Basin. The Pyramid was made by Girardon after a drawing of Le Brun, and its construction lasted 3-4 years. It is made of marble floors supported by Triton and dolphins in the lead. An interesting place is the so-called bath of nymphs. It is decorated with bas-reliefs made by Girardon, Le Hongre and Le Gros .
