There are two categories of gardeners who represent extremes: workaholics and lazy people. For some, everything grows and blooms. They plow day and night, without putting down a shovel, but this feat of labor does not add to their health. For others, the seedy ones, you won’t find parsley and dill in the garden during the day with fire, the weeds are higher than their heads, and this doesn’t really bother them. But there is another “type” of summer residents: the reasonably lazy one. He adheres to the golden mean: he reaps a rich harvest and does not forget to rest. This book talks about how to become one. The author is the country-famous amateur gardener Galina Aleksandrovna Kizima. At eighty years old, she copes well with “dacha” concerns, and also runs a website and appears on radio and television. Who, if not her, knows how to become a reasonably lazy gardener, harvest a large harvest year after year, without missing out on the opportunity to enjoy summer vacation. She generously shares all the secrets of saving effort, time and money with her readers.
