  1. The July sunset has faded behind the mountains,
    But for some reason I can’t sleep;
    I’ll open the window into the sleeping garden -
    Get drunk on enchanting bliss.

    Night violet, inconspicuous during the day,
    Waiting for the cool of the evening,
    Will fill the house with intoxicating tenderness
    And it will give joy to the heart.

  3. 7 out of 15... But I grow seedlings for 5 districts of the Volgograd region. I'm a bad summer resident.

  6. and my test result is 15 points out of 15 possible!!!! Great, I didn't waste my time.

  8. 13 points, that's normal for me. Everything grows well in the garden and garden. I don’t like garlic and onions or I don’t know agricultural technology. Thank you.

  9. It’s strange... but my husband eats hogweed. And wild radish. I even sowed them outside the plot. But I really don't know anything about flowers.

  10. I think that woody plants should be planted a little deeper, because... the soil will settle and be just level.

  11. Hooray!!! 15 out of 15!!! I’m pleasantly surprised, and I’m trying to read more literature... But of course I still know oh so little...

  14. 14 out of 15, this is because of the last question, it’s from the lyrics

  16. 14 out of 15. This is because I have cucumbers and tomatoes in the same greenhouse, because... I have only one.

  17. 8 out of 15))) not bad for a beginning young summer resident))) but now I will know that cosmos can be planted directly into the ground))) and now I know that I will plant astilbe in a shady front garden)))

  18. 15 out of 15. I didn’t expect it, I still consider myself a beginner and a beginner. Looks like you need to start appreciating your knowledge.

  19. 15 out of 15 were very simple questions, it seems to me that every gardener knows this.

  20. 13 out of 15
    Thank you for the ways to grow roses, I’ve been trying to grow at least one flower for many years, but alas! Now I’ll try the methods you suggested, maybe it will work out.
    But in general, not all plants are in harmony with those who want to work and grow with them, there are some that, no matter how much you suffer and torment the planting, astrologically they do not fit together and everything is a waste, or they will be frail, like dystrophies. This is already from the experience of living with different plants. In this case they speak of a “heavy” hand.
    Maybe that’s why my roses don’t want to grow, although I like to tinker with them and talk to them.

  21. Nina, roses are not capricious flowers, I think that everything will work out for you. But you are right when talking about incompatibility, my wife grows a lot of different flowers, but the catharanthus “didn’t work”, no matter how much she suffered. Apparently not our flower.

  22. 15 out of 15. Nice. But however, not everything grows as desired. And experience and knowledge are always lacking. I'm over 50, and I'm still learning and learning.

  23. 15 out of 15. But I'm just well-read. More of a theorist, although there is a vegetable garden of 40 acres

  24. 15 out of 15. But in practice, not everything is so simple. Apparently the shovel is not very good.

  26. You can know a lot, read, but if you don’t do anything with your own hands and don’t love what you’re planting, and lie on a sun lounger, then the result will be disastrous... We don’t have the kind of natural area where if you stick a stick in the ground, the apple tree will fall out, you’ll plant an apple tree like that and then you have to take care of it like a child... Potatoes, beets, cabbage, salads and parsley don’t grow even if you die, our soil is so barren and sandy. Likewise, some flowers and shrubs do not grow at all, do not produce growth for years, and then completely freeze and die...

  27. Hogweed was previously used as a vegetable plant before it began to flower, and its
    increased growth, lack of control over its growth, it fell into the category of weeds, so I don’t agree with the answer.

  28. 14 out of 15, I even know where I made a mistake. There is a small addition to the test itself - Hog parsnip was brought to us as a fodder plant, and only then became a weed.

  29. Hogweed is a poisonous plant. A hunt has been announced for it this year - they will be fined

  31. Crap. We all get fined. No, they would encourage the fight against hogweed. According to the test, 14 out of 15. Not bad) And the tomatoes are already growing. I hope to succeed this year.

  32. There are different types of hogweed, one is very poisonous, even if touched it causes severe burns, the other is edible. Scientists made a mistake in the past and planted the wrong variety to provide feed for cows. Now poisonous hogweeds are growing around Moscow, taller than human height, and they also turned out to be very difficult to breed.

  34. 14 out of 15 cucumbers grow in the same greenhouse with tomatoes. but under the spanbod and today I have already removed the second cucumber and that’s it. that the greenhouse is not heated (at night. Of course, I close everything)

  35. LOVE 13 out of 15. NORMAL. EVERYTHING IS GROWING AND SMELLING. I PLANT WITH LOVE, THAT'S WHY EVERYTHING GROWS!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL GARDENERS AND GARDENERS!!!

  36. I think the questions are pretty dumb. They almost do not determine the level of a gardener. This is already from the series “Who are the judges?”
    I have 13 out of 15: I didn’t see one part of the question, about talking with plants, I consider it an action that goes against God’s commandments, since God is a jealous person, and talking with plants is paganism.

  37. 14 out of 15 - because the answer to the question about hogweed was “weed”. I know that unfortunately, ignoramuses brought it to us as a vegetable and fodder plant. But this is the worst weed, the enemy of cultivated plants, and its juice is poisonous - if it comes into contact with the skin and mucous membranes in the sun, it causes severe burns. But it has not been used for food for a long time. So, I think the test is not entirely correct)

  38. Marina, hogweed is really a nasty weed and it passes through the test as a weed. Perhaps you accidentally clicked on another line.

  42. Hogweed is a poisonous plant that was introduced for milk production. There is not even a hint of this in the answers. Apparently I’m a bad summer resident, the test compiler is just an ace....

  43. I have 11 out of 15. Everything grows well on my site, unfortunately, including weeds. Three years ago I decided to test edible hogweed for toxicity. She broke the stem and poked it on the tender skin of her arm above the perk area. The burn was treated for half a year. There is still a white spot in this place. Be carefull!

  44. I’m weak - only 11 out of 15. But in general, such tests are subjective and designed for their own regions. What is suitable for the Moscow region, unfortunately, will not work for us - completely different conditions. But the general questions are the same - the difference between cherries and plums will determine anyone who has had practice with them.

  45. 12 out of 15 is normal! I don’t consider myself a know-it-all, but when they ask, I share my experience, many are interested in how no one has grown, but I’m rushing, but I always watch video bloggers and write simpler methods of growing and the best varieties of seeds, I always listen to the advice of others and draw conclusions . Have a good harvest and good luck in everything!!!

  47. Thanks to the creator of the lunar calendar. I have 15 out of 15, but last year it was 2 less. With this calendar I “walk” until the last month (in December I sow eustoma). I learned how to graft. I successfully grafted 2 wild cherries from my “REVNA”, and successfully grafted a neighbor’s tasty apple tree on 2 apple trees, one branch at a time.Thanks to this calendar I have changed a lot of things in the garden, THANK YOU!!!

  48. And to you, Galina, thank you for your kind words. I am very glad that the calendar helps you with your work. I hope that the ability to plant is not your last achievement and that you will definitely master all gardening wisdom.

  49. Correct answers: 12 out of 15 Your time: 00:02:16 You scored 12 out of 15 points (80%)

  51. ADMIN, how can you evaluate a summer resident on this question: what plants to sow in the middle zone. just write that the test is for summer residents of the middle zone. And one more thing: you pose the question: how do you plant tomatoes and cucumbers: in different greenhouses or in the same greenhouse? The summer resident answers your question specifically about how he plants, and you write: “wrong.” In the comments (I support them) they write to you: “what if there is one greenhouse?” So tell me, if in one greenhouse you plant one bed of tomatoes and next to it a bed of cucumbers. Which of them will not grow and produce a harvest? Something, but from a bad summer resident. And I think the answer to any of your three options is correct.

  52. Tatyana, if you have only one greenhouse (like most summer residents), you can easily grow both tomatoes and cucumbers in it. And you will definitely harvest from both beds. But according to the rules, these crops must be grown in different greenhouses; they have different requirements for growing conditions. And you don’t take all sorts of tests so seriously.

  55. 10 out of 15. It's a pity. Thank God everything is growing and fragrant. I don't have many flowers. Roses mostly, but I learned that astilbe can be planted in the shade. There is a place. Daylilies were planted as small bulbs, it’s strange that my answer is wrong.

  56. 14 out of 15. Because I don’t have a lawn. I don't know what aeration is. But everything is fine in the garden and with the flowers too.

  57. I have 15/15. This is in theory. But in reality, everything grows differently every year. Much depends on the weather, on the soil, on the seedlings. The main thing is the joy of summer days in the fresh air and from the fruits grown by one’s own labor.

  58. 11 out of 15 I’m not a gardener!🤗And a vegetable garden in the north (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug). But I prepare my own tomatoes and cucumbers for the winter! Carrots, shortbread, zucchini, strawberries, currants, onions (feathers), etc. I grow everything.😊

  61. My result is 14 out of 15. This is understandable. I grew up in the country. True, I don’t plant vegetables now. Many affairs.

  62. For experienced summer residents, these are very simple questions.
    15 out of 15 is my result

  63. We bought a dacha last summer. 11 out of 15 result. I answered incorrectly about cucumbers and tomatoes, but I saw them growing together in a greenhouse at my aunt’s. And she has been living in the village for 35 years. I didn’t know what was wrong))) But I won’t plant it, I can’t eat cucumbers, my daughters don’t eat tomatoes.The eldest has her own dacha, but only flowers. More about determining acidity and about daylilies. This means I’m a very good summer resident, I don’t know how to do anything, but I can handle it))) I planted some flowers from the ChSD breed (what the neighbors gave). These are astilbe, spirea, irises and my favorite (from the pictures) hosta. This year I'll see what has grown)

  64. good time everyone!! 11 is the norm. Knowledge is never superfluous))) this year I will dig up tulips, daffodils and irises. We need to give away half of it, otherwise we bought a house and then one grows on top of the other)))

  65. I’m very pleased with my answer 11 out of 15 I don’t know everything yet, but I’m glad that I know the basic rules of gardening.

  66. I’m happy. 14 out of 15.1 I didn’t understand the question, but in practice I do it correctly.

  67. 13 out of 15. I made a mistake about the leaves, that’s for sure. As for hogweed, I don’t agree. There are several species of this plant. The one that is taking over our territory is Sosnovsky’s hogweed. But Siberian hogweed is very much eaten and even pickled. There is also hairy hogweed, which is used in the Caucasus as spice. There are also other species, ornamental and honey plants.

  68. Greetings, Gardeners!
    13 out of 15! I was happy for myself) considering that we bought the dacha last year...

  69. She answered three questions incorrectly (and a couple more, albeit correctly, but by accident, because she didn’t know the answer). It's a damn shame that there is no way to find out the correct answers to all questions. I understand that this test is for the entertainment of an appreciative public. But I would also like to gain some benefit for myself.

  70. 13 out of 15, does it really matter how many correct answers there are? The main thing is that everything grows in the beds. Yes, it’s difficult to grow tomatoes and cucumbers in one greenhouse; cucumbers turn out somehow. I guess I'm not a very skilled gardener. But I can boast that I grew all my roses from bouquets and they delight with their variety of colors and aroma. And I always talk to all the plants when I take care of them, it just happens, especially when they need help.
    Thank you for the calendar, it is the best that is on the Internet.

  71. And thank you, Tatyana, for your kind words. I wish you good harvests and good luck in all your endeavors.

  72. Good afternoon everyone, of course I’m not that kind of gardener, almost everything grows, but garlic and onions leave much to be desired, but I improve my skills as a gardener by reading books and getting information on the Internet (most often)

  73. For Svetlana and Natalya: onions and garlic respond very well to ash. And also gooseberries and strawberries. Be careful with the strawberries so as not to sprinkle the heart.

  75. 12 out of 15, BUT❗1) Incorrect answer about cuttings, I have never done this, 2) Incorrect answer about Daylily, I don’t have it on my site, 3) Incorrect answer about cherry and plum leaves somehow I didn’t pay attention.

  76. Hogweed is a poisonous plant, and they eat hogweed; it also blooms with white flowers on a high peduncle, but not as powerful as that of hogweed.I have 13 out of 15, I don’t have a lawn, the plot is too small, and I don’t always talk to plants, only when I approach them for light work, I say hello to tomatoes in the morning, roses when I field them, if I prick myself I scold them, if I come up to admire the flowers, then I speak kindly to them. So it’s not always, sometimes I don’t have time, I can’t work in the heat, but in the evening I try to do as much as possible before it gets dark, I have no time to talk

  77. 13 out of 15. Thank you! I like to test my knowledge in various quizzes and tests. It's different in the garden. Sometimes the year is fruitful, and sometimes it’s not so good. I love the earth and love working in the garden. I love planting flowers and creating beautiful compositions. Unfortunately, I’m not young anymore and I don’t have enough strength for much. I wish all gardeners and gardeners good health, good harvests and success in their difficult but very useful hobby!

  78. Hello! I passed the test not bad, we don’t have such flowers in our garden and I don’t know what they are, we only have peonies, roses all season, tulips, daffodils and a lilac bush. Cucumbers don’t grow well in the ground, rainfall, but also in a greenhouse, we’ll still pick the first ones, and then they turn yellow. Last year, my husband planted one row of cucumbers and one row of tomatoes, the cucumbers, as always, and the tomatoes were very good, until the cold weather. Now we know that we need different greenhouses. We don’t have a lot of space, we grow all the vegetables, potatoes, fruit trees, strawberries, currant bushes, raspberries. Thank you, good luck everyone.

  79. 15 of 15 I have been gardening and flowering for many years with pleasure. I read reviews and share tips.

  80. 15 out of 15.Very satisfied! Last season, tomatoes and cucumbers grew in the same greenhouse. The harvest was harvested before frost. The main thing is care and love for plants!

  81. 15 out of 15 I checked myself, I’m doing everything correctly. I also think that the questions are easy. As for fertilizing, it would be more difficult for me.

  82. Cool test. I thought I didn’t know anything. And the answers turned out to be all correct. So I didn’t waste the winter in vain. Thank you.

  83. 10 out of 15. Last year we bought an abandoned plot. There is no greenhouse yet, I grew everything in open ground. The harvest was good. I sowed melons, watermelons, zucchini, and cucumbers directly into the ground under plastic jars. Everything has sprouted, everything has grown. This is in the Far East. I planted the same crops for seedlings, everything was lost, incl. and cabbage. Maybe she sowed at the wrong time?

  84. The 2023 planting season has begun.
    Hi all! 13 out of 15 passed the test. I failed the question about the greenhouse with tomatoes and cucumbers. Since there is no greenhouse. But I grow cucumbers in open ground and have no complaints. I haven’t gotten involved with tomatoes yet (the store has everything for sale during the season). Mine love jars with cucumbers and small yellow squashes (Kopeyka).
    Daylilies were also mistaken; 4 years ago my husband and I inherited a dacha from our grandfather. There were a lot of daylilies, but the duration of flowering upset me. And I got rid of them).
    The question about Hogweed simply struck me with its simplicity. Everyone knows that under Khrushchev, everything was planted with Corn and Hogweed to feed cows. The Moscow region still cannot get rid of Hogweed. A very dangerous plant. My husband, who was still a kid then, was a fool and made a pipe out of hogweed to shoot peas. They barely pumped it out in the hospital.Burn of the larynx and respiratory tract. Barely survived. So be careful.
    Last year we saw young shoots of Hogweed at the dacha. They removed it by the roots immediately. It reproduces quickly by dropping seeds. And it must be removed by the roots and burned, and not thrown away.

  85. 10 out of 15 it’s a shame, I made a stupid mistake, but now I’ll know. Have a great harvest everyone!

  86. 15 out of 15. Answered without hesitation! I love flowers very much and they love me too. Therefore, everything grows well and you get a lot of positive emotions at the dacha.
