Leaf salad

Leaf salad

Salads unite a large group of annuals and perennials, which are part of the large family of astrocytes. Most salads are varieties of the same species and genus Lactuca sativa L. These include lettuce, loose lettuce, head lettuce, romaine lettuce or roman lettuce, asparagus lettuce, etc.

Leaf lettuce, or sowing lettuce, has been known to people since ancient times. Long before our era, it was grown in Ancient Egypt, Ancient China, Ancient Greece.

The salad was widely grown by the ancient Egyptians, which is confirmed by its numerous images on the walls of the ancient pyramids. It is good for the stomach, it gives juice and weakens the intestines, they wrote in antiquity.

The ancient Greeks consumed salad every day, attributing to it the ability to sober up from drunk wine. It was widely used by the Greeks in ritual ceremonies symbolizing the frailty of all living things.

From Greece, the salad came to Ancient Rome. Here its cultivation reached such proportions that many families of the Romans were engaged in this only.

In medieval Europe, lettuce has been widely cultivated since the 14th century. The head forms of lettuce emerged in the 15th-16th centuries.

The Slavs have known salad since the time of the adoption of Christianity, when Greek preachers introduced its culture to Kievan Rus. But the widespread use of salad in Russia occurred under Peter the Great, when the nobility of the court was forced to eat salad at dinner parties.

Today lettuce is one of the most widely cultivated vegetable crops in Europe and North America due to its early maturity, yield and high nutritional value.

In Russia, the word salad has a double meaning: it is the name of a widespread garden plant and the name of one of the most popular table snack dishes, which was originally prepared only from this green salad.

In Russia, lettuce is especially widespread, which is famous for its delicate, juicy leaves, and, moreover, the most early ripening. It is useful to everyone at any time of the year.

And it is not difficult to grow it, and a tiny plot of only 1-2 beds is allotted for salad, on which you can collect 2-3 harvests of greens. In one summer, the salad has time to grow and give seeds.

Lettuce forms a more often pressed rosette of leaves of various shapes - ovoid or obovate, sessile, whole or dissected, with smooth, jagged or wavy edges. They are painted in green tones with the richest range of shades, in some varieties with anthocyanin pigmentation.

The surface of the leaves is smooth, wrinkled, corrugated, or curly.

The flower-bearing stem of the lettuce branches very strongly, a large number of inflorescences from medium-sized baskets are formed on it.

In places where the leaves and stems of the lettuce are cut, milky juice must appear, which looks like milk. Latin milk lacquer.

Hence the official name of the lettuce culture.

According to the ripening period, spring, summer and autumn varieties of lettuce differ. Spring varieties of lettuce are very early ripening. They are grown both indoors and outdoors.

When sown later, this salad produces many flower arrows.

Summer varieties of lettuce are not afraid of hot weather, so they are sown from May to July. They do not suffer from early steming.

If you want to have a salad at the beginning of autumn, then you need to sow autumn varieties that tolerate low temperatures and are well adapted to the conditions of a short day; they do not suffer from diseases even in greenhouses and hotbeds.

It is grown in open ground, under a film in tunnels, in spring film greenhouses, as well as in glass greenhouses with solar heating.

Lettuce is an extremely cold-resistant plant. Lettuce shoots can withstand frosts up to minus 2-3C. In the phase of the formed rosette, plants tolerate frosts down to minus 6 C. and well-formed plants in late autumn can withstand temperatures down to minus 10C.

Varieties with pigmented leaves are especially resistant to cold.

Lettuce seeds begin to germinate at a temperature of + 2C, plants can develop at a temperature of +5. + 6C. The optimum temperature for development is 16-18C during the day and 12-13C at night.

When the temperature rises to 28-30C, the seeds of many lettuce varieties do not germinate at all.

In hot weather, lettuce quickly shoots, especially in early ripening varieties, and practically does not give marketable products. The most favorable for the growth and development of lettuce is the temperature difference between day and night no more than 4-5 degrees.

Lettuce is a light-loving plant of long daylight hours, especially early maturing varieties, i.e. in the light it grows and develops faster. With a short daylight hours, it does not take a long time to switch to the shooting process.

Lettuce does not tolerate thickened plantings; under these conditions, the plants quickly enter the reproductive phase of development.

And one more feature of lettuce plants. The intensity of the color of its leaves and even their corrugation depend on the weather. In hot weather, lettuce grows quickly and loses color.

And under unfavorable weather conditions and low air temperatures, the growth of plants slows down, at the same time their color increases and its quality improves.

The root of the salad is pivotal. The root system is generally weak, located in the upper arable layer.

Therefore, the salad is picky about the constant high humidity of the soil and air, but does not tolerate waterlogging, because.excessive moisture contributes to the spread of fungal diseases and reduces the quality of the crop.

Leaf lettuce is placed in areas well-lit by the sun with low groundwater levels. Like all fast-growing green crops, it is picky about growing conditions: the soil should be fertile and loose, light or medium loamy, water-absorbing, with an acidity close to neutral.

Lettuce takes out a lot of nitrogen and potassium from the soil.

The predecessors of lettuce can be crops grown with higher doses of organic fertilizers: cucumbers, zucchini, cabbage, potatoes.

Soil preparation begins in the fall after harvesting the predecessor. If the previous culture was not fertilized with organic matter, then half a bucket of rotted compost per 1 sq. meter, as well as 1 tbsp. a spoonful of superphosphate and potassium fertilizers.

On acidic soils, ash must also be added.

In the spring, as soon as the soil permits, it is loosened to retain moisture in it. A few days before sowing lettuce, the soil is loosened to a depth of 10-12 cm, adding one teaspoon of ammonium nitrate.

Then the beds are carefully harrowed so that there are no large lumps on the surface.

In greenhouses, lettuce is grown mainly as a compactor for the main crops of tomatoes or cucumbers. It is sown 2-3 days before planting the seedlings of the main crops or immediately after planting it, occupying the lateral edges of the ridge or wide aisles.

In the open field, lettuce is grown mainly by sowing seeds, much less often by seedlings.Seeds are sown in the ground as soon as the soil is ripe (from mid-April to late August) with an interval of 15-20 days; at the same time in summer they sow late varieties that are resistant to shooting.

To speed up the harvest in spring in the open field, the crops are immediately covered with a film stretched along arcs.

Seeds are sown into grooves to a depth of 1-1.5 cm, the distance between which is up to 16 cm, the distance between plants is 5 cm, since with a thicker sowing, the leaves become coarse. To improve plant growth, it is advisable to add granular superphosphate to the rows along with the seeds, half a teaspoon per 1 sq. meter.

Compression of the soil after sowing is also a mandatory technique, which accelerates the emergence of seedlings by 2-3 days.

Inexperienced gardeners often complain about the low germination of lettuce seeds. But the reason for this is often not in the quality of the seeds, but in the formation of a soil crust through which the seedlings cannot break through.

Lettuce is widely used as a thickener for cabbage. At first, it shades it well, and when the cabbage takes root, the salad is already ready for harvesting.

Very often lettuce is used as a lighthouse crop when sowing long-germinating seeds of carrots, parsley, beans, etc. With such crops, one lettuce seed is placed every 8-10 seeds of the main crop. Lettuce germinates in ordinary crops 8-10 days earlier than the main crop and allows the soil to be cultivated without fear of damaging the main crop.

In greenhouses, lettuce, together with Chinese cabbage and mustard, is sown as a compactor of tomatoes and cucumbers, occupying side ridges or wide aisles. In spring unheated greenhouses, it is sown in early April, and harvested in the first half of May by the time tomato or cucumber seedlings are planted in them.

Crop care consists in shallow loosening of row spacings, obligatory weeding. Timely thinning is one of the main conditions for obtaining a good rosette of leaves.

At the first thinning, the removed plants can be replanted as seedlings for planting in a new place, and the removed plants are used for food.

Lettuce is systematically watered abundantly, but rarely, while preventing waterlogging or drying out of the soil. The evaporation of leaves with a relatively small root system is very high, so the plant requires high soil and air moisture.

However, excessive soil and air moisture also leads to the spread of fungal diseases and reduces the quality of products. The combination of lack of moisture and high air temperature is especially unfavorable for salad.

At the same time, the leaves are small, coarse and with strong bitterness.

In the phase of 2-3 leaves, with a lag in growth, the plant must be fed with ammonium nitrate (half a teaspoon per 1 square meter). But since lettuce can accumulate a large amount of nitrates, it is better not to carry out nitrogen fertilizing on well-fertilized soil.

The lettuce is harvested early, in the 6-8 leaf phase, since at a later age the nutritional value of the plant deteriorates. In fertile warm areas, this happens after 30-40 days from the date of emergence.

The lettuce is harvested before the stem elongation begins, in dry weather, in the morning or evening, when the plants are chilled but not moisturized. After harvesting, the salad is not washed, otherwise the leaves will rot, but only the roots are washed in the basin.

And for the market, plants are usually pulled out by the roots, shaken off the ground, sorted, tightly stacked in an upright position in a rigid container and taken to sale.

Lettuce can be stored at room temperature for no more than a day, and in a plastic bag in the refrigerator without losing its nutritional value, it can be stored for up to 15 days.

Many gardeners do not pull out the plants, but tear off the leaves gradually as they grow back or cut the bushes of lettuce from below above the ground. These plants quickly release new leaves, the fruiting period is lengthened, and a second crop can be obtained from a small area.

Because lettuce grows quickly, it is very beneficial for chicken growers to sow it repeatedly to enrich their feed with vitamins. Moreover, it can be sown even in shaded areas.

The combination of early maturity and cold resistance in lettuce, the presence of varieties of different early maturity, the use of several sowing dates allow you to easily get greens of lettuce almost throughout the year, and with the use of warmed soil and supplementary lighting all year round.

It is used for spring and winter sowing, in summer it gives a stem, begins to taste bitter and loses its nutritional value.

Seed germination lasts 2-3 years.

The salad is not only tasty, it also has healing properties:

calms the nervous system, improves sleep, normalizes digestion and metabolism.

That is why it is recommended to eat it at night.

When harvesting, the leaves are cut off without pulling out the entire plant.

Leafy varieties are planted every 30-35 cm, planting should not be thickened even when collecting individual leaves. Plants are regularly watered and fed.

Shoots appear on the 3-5th day, the optimum temperature for growth and development is 20-22 degrees.

Semi-cabbage varieties have a raised rosette of leaves, in the center of which a loose head of cabbage is tied.

The varieties are mid-season, it is better to grow them through seedlings, but they can also be sown in the ground.

Of the more early ripening varieties, the following are known:Stone heads, Berlin yellow (300 grams), Festival (400 grams).

Among the new varieties:

Moscow suburbs (200 grams) - with crispy leaves; even when ripe, it does not lose its qualities for up to 10 days.

It looks especially beautiful when cabbage and leafy varieties of different colors and with corrugated or wavy edges are planted together.

Red-leaved salads, due to their extraordinary appearance, are in high demand among amateur vegetable growers all over the world.

However, not all gardeners know that the color intensity and even their corrugation depend on weather conditions.

Sometimes, instead of the rich red salad painted on the bag, green or pale red grows.

Scientists explain this by the fact that in hot weather the salad quickly loses its color.

But closer to autumn, at low temperatures, the growth of lettuce slows down, and the color of the leaves increases, its qualities improve.

Do not forget about this when growing colored salads.

Late cabbage varieties . Large cabbage, Kudryavets Odessa, Crunchy, Iceber G.

Great Lakes - new (Iceberg type) crispy head lettuce, late ripening, high yield, ripens in 85 days. A large head of cabbage, round, with a closed top, oak-leaved, dark green. Resistant to burns, blooming.

Scheme 35 x 30 cm. Under the film and in the greenhouse, you can get an early harvest.

Cabbage salads are more productive, but they ripen late.

However, if the seedlings are planted early, then you can get the harvest earlier.

Seedlings are planted with 1-2 true leaves. The last sowing in the greenhouse is September 5-10.

Salads with crispy leaves are very popular now: Excitement, Ballet, Odessa Kudryavets, Krupnokochanny, Moscow region.

New varieties of salads are more productive, they have a better chemical composition, which means that their healing properties are higher.

Lettuce is an early ripening and cold-resistant crop, so it can be sown in early spring, especially leafy varieties, as well as before winter.

Seeds germinate at a temperature of 4-5 degrees, the most pleasant temperature for growth is 15-20 degrees.

Young plants are less resistant to frost.

Lettuce is demanding on moisture not only in the soil, but also on air humidity. However, with excessive moisture, it is affected by fungal infections, and the quality of the crop decreases.

The salad is photophilous, it must be grown in a sunny place.

In insufficient light, the plant stretches, and in the headed varieties, a loose and small head of cabbage is formed.

In dry hot weather, a flower stem quickly forms, especially in early ripening varieties, the leaves are bitter and unsuitable for eating.

This crop is grown in foil and glazed greenhouses, under foil in tunnels, as well as in the open field.

In a protected ground under a film, with sharp temperature fluctuations, as well as with low soil moisture, flowering increases.

The seeds of the lettuce are small, they can be mixed before sowing with sand in a ratio of 1: 0.5.

It is better to make furrows across the bed with an interval of 12 cm.

The soil is fertilized: 1/3 of a bucket is added to 1 square meterhumus with the addition of 1 tablespoon superphosphate and 1 teaspoon of potassium sulfate or 1-2 tablespoons Solution . nitrophosphate on acidic soils. Be sure to add 200 grams dolomite flour, since lettuce grows poorly on acidic soils.

Having selected large seeds, they are sown to a depth of 1 centimeter.

Inexperienced growers complain about the low germination of seeds. Most often, the reason lies in the formed soil crust, which the seedlings cannot break through.

One of the main conditions for obtaining a good rosette of leaves or head of cabbage is timely thinning salad.

Typically, seeded lettuce is thinned twice. They start with an interval of 5 cm and, as they grow, bring the distance between the plants to 15-20 cm.

When thinning for the first time, the removed plants can be transplanted, like seedlings, to a new location.

To obtain greenery throughout the summer, sowing must be repeated after 15-20 days.

In the summer they sow medium-late varieties or new ones that are resistant to shooting.

The last sowing date is September 5-10 (later in the greenhouse).

Watering with moderately cool water once a week, in the morning or evening.

Leafy varieties are watered by sprinkling. and cabbages - the soil along the rows. If the soil was well seasoned during planting, lettuce, as an early ripening crop, does not require feeding.

Considering that head lettuce grows longer, it needs one or two additional feeding: fermented grass, diluted mullein (1:10), biorymus, Biud (1:20), bird droppings (1:20).

You can also fertilize with complex mineral fertilizers (1 tablespoon per bucket of water).

Top dressing is combined with watering.

To obtain early production in greenhouses, lettuce is grown through seedlings.

They sow it in boxes or in the ground under a film (temperature - 18-21 degrees). Seedlings appear on the 3-4th day.

After germination, it is better to lower the temperature by 3-4 degrees so that the seedlings do not stretch out.

Seedlings with 1-2 true leaves are dived, and with the fourth leaf they are planted in a permanent place so that the root collar is at the level of the soil, otherwise it will rot

To speed up the harvest, plants in the ground can be covered with a non-woven material.

Through seedlings, head lettuce grows well in greenhouses along the edge of the garden with tomatoes or other crops.

Lettuce is ready to eat in 20-30 days (when it has 5-10 leaves). They remove it selectively (with 5-7 leaves), first pick off individual leaves (if necessary), then cut the entire plant with a knife, removing the lower, rotten leaves.

After harvesting, the salad is not washed, otherwise it will rot.

Head salad ripens in 50-70 days, when a head of cabbage with a diameter of 5-12 centimeters or more is formed. Do not be late with harvesting, otherwise bitterness will appear in the leaves.

It is better to chill the salad intended for storage immediately after harvesting. It is stored at a temperature of 0-10 degrees in a hermetically sealed package for up to 40 days, in an unsealed package - up to 25 days, in a refrigerator - up to two weeks.

Powdery mildew is easy to spot: discolored spots appear on the leaves in the form of a white bloom, growth slows down. This is observed with sharp changes in day and night temperatures.

The infection persists on plant debris. Moscow greenhouse, Berlin yellow and new varieties are damaged less.

Chemicals cannot be used.

Therefore, one must observe crop rotation ... remove all plant debris (including roots after cutting plants) and diseased plants as they grow.

A marginal burn manifests itself in the form of dying off of the leaf tissue: first, the edge of the leaf turns brown in the form of a strip, the leaves curl, pathogens of rot appear in these places, the leaves begin to rot, and then the whole plant.

The disease is facilitated by an excess of nitrogen in the soil, sudden changes in temperature, and high humidity in the air and soil.

The disease manifests itself especially strongly in greenhouses and under a film shelter.

When the plant is ready to harvest, limit watering; do not overfeed with nitrogen; when grown in a greenhouse, they do not allow sharp fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

After complete harvesting, plant residues, especially the roots remaining in the soil, are removed, since the overwintered roots will develop aphid .

SALAD

Lettuce is a light-loving culture; it should not be placed in the aisles of the garden. However, lettuce is cold-resistant, it can grow at a temperature of 5 ° C, tolerates frosts up to -5. It grows better at a temperature of 15-20 ° C. During the formation of a head of cabbage, the optimum temperature is 14-16 ° C during the day, and 8-12 at night.

In conditions of long days, low temperatures, and dry and hot weather, flowering stems form quickly, especially in early maturing leafy varieties. It is advisable to cultivate such varieties in spring and autumn crops.

In June - August, it is better to sow late varieties: head lettuce - Large cabbage, Kucheryavets Odessa, Ice Mountain, Parisian Green; sheet - Romaine, Parisian Balloon... They are characterized by the slow formation of flowering shoots.

The culture of lettuce is hygrophilous due to the significant evaporating surface of the leaves. The lack of moisture in the soil, especially at temperatures above 21 ° C, retards the growth of the plant, leads to premature shooting, its excess contributes to the disease of gray rot or root browning, especially with a compacted sowing pattern.

AGROTECHNIKA

The salad can be sown as the first crop before the early varieties of vegetables: cauliflower and Chinese cabbage, cucumber, tomato, radish, turnip, potato. As a compacting crop, it is cultivated in the aisles of late-ripening varieties of celery, carrots, parsley, tomato, the second crop - after early spring green, winter onions, radishes, with the introduction of 4-6 kg / m3 of manure under the previous crop.

Well cultivated, sandy loam and light loamy fertile soils are preferred for culture. Good lighting is needed for early ripening varieties for 10-12 hours a day, for late-ripening varieties - 12-16.

However, lettuce also tolerates weak shading, as well as increased air humidity.

Seeds remain viable for 3-4 years. In the open field, sowing begins from May 1 to May 15 and is repeated every 15-20 days.

Sow in 4-5 rows with ribbons with a distance for lettuce between rows 8-10 cm, in a row 4-5, 20 cm between ribbons; for head lettuce between rows - 25, in rows 20 (or 20 × 20 cm), between ribbons 25 cm - for early varieties with small heads of cabbage (or 30 × 30 cm), 30 - for late-ripening large heads.

To obtain an early harvest, seeds for seedlings are sown (to a depth of 1-1.5 cm) in seedling boxes, pots, greenhouses, greenhouses from March 10 to April 15 according to the scheme after a pick of 5 × 4 cm. In open ground 30-35 or 40 —45-day-old seedlings with four to five leaves are planted from May 15th.

In the first case, the head of cabbage is formed in 35-40 days, in the second - in 25-30. The mass of heads of cabbage during harvesting is 300-400 g.

In protected ground, sowing seeds or planting seedlings (from late February to mid-July) is carried out in 4-5 rows according to the 20 × 20 cm scheme. Under temporary film shelters they are sown from early April, seedlings are planted in heated greenhouses from 1 to 10 September.

Harvest is removed before November 15 - early varieties and until December 15 - late.

Sowing seeds of the Romaine variety is carried out at the same time as the head lettuce, but with a row spacing of 45 cm, between plants in a row after thinning 30-40 cm.

Lettuce is a vegetable with a high accumulation of nitrates. Therefore, nitrogen fertilizers should not be applied under it more than the recommended rates.

Only on poor soils is one early feeding in the phase of two leaves with urea not more than 4 g / m permissible. but if possible, it is better not to fertilize with nitrogen. More nitrogen is found in stems and leaf stalks.

Before consumption, these parts must be immersed in water for at least 1 hour. In this case, the content of nitrates in the product is reduced by 20%.

Watered moderately with a weekly water consumption for lettuce in dry weather 17-20 l / m. During the season, 3-4 waterings are carried out at 8-10 l / m.

Head lettuce requires rare but abundant watering - 20-25 l / m2. 7-10 days before harvesting, watering is especially necessary, as it increases the size of the head of cabbage.

It is better to water in the morning so that the loose mass of lettuce dries up during the day and is dry on cool nights. In this case, the possibility of disease is reduced.

After watering, loosen, the first 1-2 times to a depth of 6-8 cm, then 3-5.

What is arugula, the intricacies of growing, care
All those who bought arugula in supermarkets or enjoyed it in restaurants are surprised to find that in the country it grows not at all such an exquisite spicy nutty taste. Why?

It turns out that there are subtleties of care that must be adhered to.
What are yellow green vegetables
In recent years, in many countries of the world, a group of so-called yellow-green vegetables began to occupy an honorable place in cooking, and leafy vegetables - dill, Chinese, Peking and Japanese cabbage, mustard, and watercress - are especially popular in it.

Despite the fact that the listed plants belong to different families, they have a lot in common. They are cold-hardy, early ripening, grow equally well on various types of soils, all are beautiful in their own way and extremely useful.

Well, rucola in this list is gradually taking higher lines due to its exquisite unusual taste and plasticity, which makes it possible to grow it in the various climatic conditions of Russia. In addition, it attracts not only for its food, but also for its feed, technical, and medicinal qualities.
Types of arugula, varieties for cultivation
In Russia, for a long time, rucola was considered a weed, known under various names - sowing eruka, caterpillar, rocket, arugula, rocket salad, taramira. Then they began to grow it in gardens. Now cultural rucola is included in the State Register as an Indau.

There are several varieties: Gourmet, Dikovinka, Corsica, Rococo, Little Mermaid, Sicily.

The most tried and tested is Poker.
When growing this annual in a protected ground, the rosette usually has no more than 12 leaves, in an open one - by the time of the beginning of steming, there are 20-28 of them. Poker has a branchy stem -40-80 cm in height.

The fruit is a non-expanding pod, in which there are about 30 seeds that remain viable for 4 years. Arugula develops for 75-90 days.
There is a lot of ascorbic acid in its leaves, more than in other cabbage leafy plants. They also contain substances that protect against ultraviolet radiation, viral infections and mold.

The seeds are rich in oil, which is mainly used for technical purposes.
The benefits of arugula, wild arugula, breeding varieties
From the rank of restaurant greenery, the plant has moved into the group of everyday use. Rucola normalizes metabolism, improves tone and general immunity, calming the nervous system.

It is useful for diabetes, obesity, increases hemoglobin and lowers blood cholesterol.

But there is also a wild arugula (two-rowed thin-leaved), which is called a wild rocket. It is also common as a weed throughout Europe, in the western United States, in other countries.

On the basis of the "savages", the breeders bred the varieties Rocket, Taganskaya Semko, Euphoria. The most fragrant is Solitaire.

The taste of Solitaire is mustard-nut, sharper than that of Poker. And unlike the latter, it is a biennial. Its roots overwinter, in spring they give new leaves, then pods open, as in the first year of life.

Then the plant dies. There is a lot of mustard oil, nitrogen and sulfur in Solitaire. For humans, this plant is tasty, and harmful insects - mosquitoes and fleas - it scares away.

It also improves the condition of the soil.
Features of growing arugula
Growing both of these types of arugula can be easily, literally, playfully. They grow on the windowsill in the apartment all year round; they are sown in open ground from April to mid-August.

The seedling method is also very good, allowing you to economically use seeds and get a more plentiful and early harvest.

Arugula has small seeds, at first they are sown in a glass to a depth of 0.5-1 cm. Mass shoots appear on the fifth day.

Seedlings dive, and they take root well and grow immediately without thickening. The distance between the bushes in the box should be 20-40 cm, and between the rows 10-15.

Largely due to the sufficient spacing between plants, an unforgettable spicy nutty taste is obtained. In any case, this is what vegetable growers who love this herb say.

Rucola prefers light soils with a slightly acidic reaction, so acidic soils must be limed. If for a winter garden at the window you bring land from your site, the rucola is suitable for the one taken from the garden where potatoes, pumpkin, and legumes grew.

To get more greenery, you need a fertile and well-hydrated soil.

Arugula blooms with a long day and elevated temperatures. Withstands frosts down to minus 5-7 ° С.

The optimum temperature for growth and development is 16-18 ° C.

Arugula does not like shadows, although, of course, she can endure it. If, with insufficient lighting, you feed it with nitrogen fertilizers, an accumulation of nitrates will occur, and the chemical composition will change.

Although at the same time the general appearance of plants will noticeably improve: growth will increase, the leaves will become more juicy-green, but what we sow arugula for - its taste - will disappear.

If the plants do not have enough moisture, the leaves become coarse, become bitter, so regular watering is necessary. The sooner you start picking off the leaves, the more intensively the bush will grow.

Growing up - when you can already partially pluck it - starts from about 10 cm.

It usually takes 20-35 days from full germination to the first cut. The weight of the rosette of leaves can be 20-60 g depending on the conditions.

Greens are stored in the refrigerator for about 7 days, before that they must be sprinkled with water.
What to cook from rucola
Arugula greens should not be exposed to prolonged heat treatment, otherwise it will lose its taste and aroma. Its leaves are an excellent aphrodisiac - food that arouses intimate desires, which helps to increase male strength.

To excite passion, Italian chefs recommend such an old drug: you need to crush 100 g of arugula and, adding 10 g of black pepper and honey each, mix everything. Take a teaspoon every morning.

100 g of arugula contains: 15 mg of ascorbic acid, 1.8 mg of vitamin A, 48 mg of vitamin B9. The plant is rich in trace elements - potassium (220 mg), calcium (77 mg), magnesium (40 mg), iodine (up to 8 μg), iron (up to 0.6 mg).

Arugula salad becomes much tastier if refrigerated for 5-6 hours. You need to chop (tear with your hands) 150 g of arugula, divide 9 cherry tomatoes in half, cut 5 slices of slightly salted salmon into long slices, add a handful of washed and dried cranberries.
Then mix a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar with the same amount of olive oil, beat with a fork until smooth, add a little salt. Pour the sauce into the salad, mix everything, arrange on plates and sprinkle with pine nuts on top.

Thanks to biologically active substances, rucola has a beneficial effect on digestion, has an expectorant and antibacterial effect.

If you eat it regularly, immunity and hemoglobin increase, metabolism normalizes, and blood sugar levels decrease. It is believed that it is useful to eat it for the prevention of cancer.

The best varieties of cucumbers without bitterness

Why cucumbers are bitter is no secret to anyone. We have known for a long time that during extreme heat or drought, the substance cucurbitacin begins to accumulate in fruits.

Such cucumbers are not very tasty in salads, but they will do for pickling, since after all the treatments, the bitterness in the fruits disappears.

But for the preparation of fresh salads, it is necessary to take only the most modern varieties, genetically devoid of bitterness. Even the tips of these cucumbers have a sweet taste.

For open ground you can pick up bee-pollinated varieties - Volgodonsky 311, Moth, Business, Vzglyad, Boa constrictor, Tikhonovsky, Stepnoy, Yakhinoto, Shanghai.

These varieties will always delight you with tasty and fragrant fruits, even when it is hot and the temperature on the thermometer goes over + 40 ° C. These varieties rarely accumulate bitterness, and if they do, then in small quantities.

For greenhouses and greenhouses Parthenocarpic varieties and hybrids are best suited: Red mullet, Pasamonte, Kozyrnaya karta, Grozdevoy, Chinese climbing. They taste less bitter than other varieties and are better adapted to extreme temperature changes.

White-fruited varieties that are genetically devoid of bitterness are also pleasant to the taste. These are: Three white sheets, Bride, Blond.

The varieties of Chinese cucumbers are very interesting for gardeners: Golden Wyland, Chinese snakes, Yi Jin, Lifent Senyus, Lü-Yu-Hao, Beijing delicious, Emerald stream. They have very long green fruits that remain sweet for a long time, which is quite unusual for large-fruited varieties.

So the crop can be stored directly on the bushes. But if they are harvested on time, then you can get a higher yield.

But the myth that half of the fruit can be cut off from these cucumbers, and the remaining half will grow back to full size, is a delusion. Only a lagenarian is capable of such a "feat".
