Good afternoon, my reader. As we know, envy is a bad feeling, so if you experience it, then do it silently. This is relevant when the conversation is also about neighbors with whom you will have to live side by side for a long time. And also the question arises about why the neighbor does not know where to put all his harvest, but you simply do not have enough for yourself. So what's up?

Of course, the suburban area requires great and constant attention. This is especially true of horticultural crops, which require care and control almost all year round. If you allow yourself even the slightest omission, it will be reflected in the future harvest. So, let's look at what your neighbor did and what you didn't.

Maintaining a country calendar

It may seem ridiculous, but maintaining such a calendar fully justifies itself at the stages of harvesting, when its number is much higher than in previous years. If you are serious enough about doing gardening, then you understand that sometimes there are so many tasks that you can simply miss out on some moments. It is in order to prevent this from happening, and you need to write things down in a kind of diary or calendar. If this is not for you at all, then you can use your mobile phone and set reminders there.

Regionalized plant varieties

Everyone would like to grow on their site something that others do not have, therefore they are chasing crops atypical for the area, which often simply do not germinate. Fashion in agriculture is not the main thing, the quality of products is much more important. Botany does not imply miracles as such. Perhaps your neighbor realized this much earlier than you, and therefore decided not to risk it by acquiring plant varieties that are inherent in your region for his site. And at this time you will spend time, effort and money on things that a priori will not be able to achieve success.

But even “standard” plants have a shelf life, so they need to be renewed periodically to increase the chances of growth. This is true for potatoes. It is recommended to change it at least once every 4 years, and it is desirable to do it efficiently.

Soil preparation

Some gardeners, focusing on seeds, miss the important point of soil. Significant changes take place in it, which are also important to take into account when sowing. Only black soil can do without additional fertilizers. Light and medium loam will require more investments. But other types of land need constant feeding in order to continue to work efficiently.

This is just a small list of the rules and guidelines your neighbor follows. In fact, there are many, many more. Of course, as mentioned earlier, envy is a bad feeling, but sometimes only thanks to it we learn and move on, doing better for ourselves and our work. You need to enjoy the process of your activities, and if necessary, step over your own pride and ask for help. Then your site will bloom with new colors and will delight you with fresh fruits for a long time.
