At the mention of a dacha, in particular a vegetable garden, most people have thoughts about constant fuss in the ground and about dull boring beds. However, the vegetable garden is not only about cucumbers, tomatoes, weeds and hard physical labor. It is worth applying a little effort and imagination, and it seemed that ordinary beds could become a work of landscape art and serve as an interesting art object in a summer cottage. In order to equip a useful and beautiful garden in the country, you do not need to have a lot of knowledge and skills, you just need to put in a little effort, the work will start and the garden will delight you not only with fresh vegetables, but will also give you aesthetic pleasure. Such a combined version of the garden will come in handy on a small plot, on which you need to arrange as many zones as possible

For the correct and beautiful location of the garden, you need to properly plan the site, define recreation areas, economic and decorative. At all these sites, there can be a vegetable garden in all its manifestations.

Vertical vegetable garden

This type of garden, by the way, will be necessary in a small area. It can be broken down, for example, in a recreation area. A gazebo, terrace, mesh fence or arch are perfect for these purposes. At the foot of the chosen support, you need to organize a favorable soil for plants. The top layer of soil should be removed and replaced with fertile soil suitable for planting the selected plants. Weaving vegetable crops will become wonderful inhabitants of a vertical garden. Varieties of curly beans will not only give fruits that are healthy with protein, but also perfectly decorate the garden, first with flowers, and later with multi-colored pods that will delight the eye until late autumn. Some pumpkin varieties are also suitable. It is better to choose a plant with not very large fruits. Rapidly growing shoots need to be pinched periodically, this will allow the plant to braid all support, creating a hedge. Zucchini, asparagus, watermelons, cucumbers also grow well in height, the main thing is to decide on the planting site, since some plants are quite thermophilic and do not tolerate drafts. This type of garden will not only help save space, but will also become an excellent decoration and protector from wind and rain.

Garden-flowerbed

This type of garden can also be called decorative. It is not only a place for growing vegetables, but also has a decorative function. A flower garden can be planted anywhere on the plot, it all depends on the vegetables that need to be grown. For a vegetable bed, as well as for a regular flower bed, fertile soil is required. The garden can have any geometric shape or consist of several separate flower beds, thereby creating a certain pattern or ornament. To make decorative gardens look aesthetically pleasing and neat, they are framed with wooden, stone or concrete borders, which can also be decorated. By creating an ornament from individual small vegetable beds, you can highlight them not only in shape and size, but also in color. To do this, each flower bed must be planted with different crops. Each year, vegetables can be swapped, thereby updating the color of the site. For a garden-flower bed, vegetables that bloom beautifully or have bright fruits and leaves are suitable. Savoy cabbage, the leaves of which are bright in color and resemble an unblown rose, are perfect. Ordinary white cabbage looks no less attractive in the beds if you plant it closer to each other. The variety of beetroot Swiss chard, which does not have root crops, looks very decorative. Large green wavy leaves of such beets are attached to bright stems of red, yellow or orange flowers. A real find for arranging a decorative flower bed is the familiar greenery. Different varieties of parsley, lettuce, onions and a variety of herbs that bloom beautifully and exude a pleasant aroma are ideal for an ornamental garden. Most of these plants are protectors that protect vegetables from pests and weeds.

There are many options for decorating a garden. Cultivated plants can be planted in the form of a mixborder along the paths and paths on the site. A decorative herb border will decorate any recreation area and create a romantic atmosphere. Unpretentious vegetables can even be planted in flower pots and flowerpots, and then hang and arrange them on the site. When equipping a decorative garden, the main thing is to forget about the classical understanding of this word and surrender to imagination, then the summer cottage will become unique.
