Designer design of beds in the country area: Original shapes, combination of plants, options for fences, protective structures from birds
There were those times when the cultivation of vegetables in garden sites was a vital thing. However, the culture of the cultivation of gardens did not fade, turning into the summer hobby of many country land owners. Only cracked with their own hands, just collected vegetables, greens and berries are truly fresh. Garden harvest is environmentally friendly, while the prehistory of products from the market never know in detail. Designers decorated beds, among other things, very picturesque.
Almost all useful plants are decorative: some are interesting in color, other sheets of leaf or beautiful fruits. Ruby Salad, purple basil, curly parsley, openwork carrots, onions (aflatan, blue idr.), Zucchini with carved leaves ... Look carefully on each plant - and you will see that it is really attractive. The beauty of the same beds as a whole depends on how skillfully you combined cultures with each other, which form of the garden was chosen, which border fenced. Although first of all it is necessary to think about the biological compatibility of neighbors. It is known that the cucumbers, bad garlic, onions grow well next to peas and beans. ITO plants of a single family (say, umbrella-parsley, celery, carrots) are not recommended to plant together: they are subject to general diseases. Having understood in botanical subtleties, experiment with the design. Combine different plants in appearance: massive cabbage and fragile dill, purple beets and jam-green leek. Space flowers (for example, calendula and velvets, they scare the pests) or add spicy herbs. Try to grow a salad in baskets and hang them on the lower branches of the trees or decorate the pergolas of beans, cucumbers or pumpkins.

1. Original solution - decorate the platform before entering the arbor or summer house with containers with vegetables and greens
2. "Neighbors" in the decorative garden are chosen on the principle of contrast: the lettuce of the leaves are wide, at Luka, "feathers" long and narrow
3. On International Exhibitions (for example, at the Gardens Festival in Loire), designers often use vegetable cultures in decorative purposes. The water space in the center of this garden is crushed into a separate creek is an island, which is divided into stripes: Some fused by gravel, others are planted with greens. Rubber in the depths of the garden served as a background for an elegant sculptural group of wire
4.Specialists argue that at high beds the plants above and the crop matures earlier than on ordinary flat. It is possible to raise the land at different height: and 30-40 cm, and even at 70-90cm. Crying sometimes make in the form of separate boxes on supports - they are comfortable in care.

5. One of the main "biological" principles of the formation of Grokorki-Lilarity. Plants should be combined in such a way that no longer shaded down
6. When selecting plants, they pay attention not only to the form of their leaves, but also on the color gamut. Especially rich in the palette of various grades of salad and cabbage
7-8. Classic borders, holding the ground from shuffling, are built from boards, stone or bricks, a little less often - from the logs set up vertically close to each other. Non-standard option is a fencing. Due to the high flexibility of the material, it can be given a variety of forms, for example, to connect around or lay out the wave. Add a few more wicker elements to the curb to the border and the garden becomes like a ship or a basket. In the last, it is convenient to grow cucumbers using "pen" as a support for plants

9. At that time, when the seedlings are just beginning to argue, the garden is not too decorative and looks empty, boring. Put portable pots and baskets around the perimeter and the baskets with colors and while the inephious corner will bloom and transformed. Later, when the plants come to force, baskets can be carried
10. It happens that the birds become real enemies of the garden: they opened the seeds from the ground, the treacherous cultures have already flush. To scare them, the owners build frightening scary or hang garlands-flaying from metal objects. Another option, allowing to protect the beds with compact plants and simultaneously changing their appearance - a grid suspended on hoops
11. The gaps between the beds are covered with chips: the weeds are not pro-stroke through it, and the tracks do not slide in the rainy weather. Mulching material can also serve gravel shallow fraction or bark
12. In a pleasant circle next to young fruit trees that are not yet giving deep shadows, a compact greens can be landed. Wet case plants rationally sow around trunk rings

13-14. Cabbage seedlings (white or decorative) are planted at a sufficiently large distance from each other to 60-70cm. The remaining gaps are useful to fill the velvets that will scare pests. Crying will also reincarnate in the real flower. People are well combined with peas, and you can with fragrant mint
