famous journalists, for example, today one of the main topics was mutual benefit for the eac member countries. as is known, the individual weight of national currencies in mutual settlements of the union countries already exceeds 90%. the volume of mutual investments is also growing. and now, in the conditions of incessant fake-mongering from the west, it is important to convey the truth about the real state of affairs in the union, about the growing economy, import substitution and technological progress, this is very important, where not to be afraid, not to drag some things under the carpet, not to give these things to the westerners, because the westerners, their propaganda machine, they are looking for those battle points where we have misunderstandings with our allies, where we have not yet, this is the most important thing, reached an agreement, they are working to delay this mutual understanding, to delay this consensus, which between...

many people know that all keen gardeners are a little philosophers, here is what philosophers have become.

we are in the fields of peasant and farmer farms nakhodka polesia in the agro-town tyshkovichi in the capital of tulips. so we unofficially call our agro-town and in general in the brest region everyone already. know us, not only know the brest region, but call it the capital. the initiator of the creation was my

husband valery nikolaevich. initially, when we got married, we lived in the city of pinsk. we had several friends who grew tulips in small quantities. my husband was very interested in this topic, at that time there was still demand in belarus in there were no tulips. the following year we already grew 700 tulips on our own plot of land in the city of pinsk, then everything went in geometric progression, the next year we grew 17 thousand, i was shocked, i was so scared, but it is not for nothing that they say that courage takes the city, he who does not risk, does not drink champagne, the opportunity to grow more ... on our plot of land in pinsk we did not have, we are residents natives of the agro-town

of tyshkovich, we decided to return to tyshkovichi, there is a larger plot of land here and grow more tulips, we built a greenhouse on the plot of land near the estate where my mother lived, we grew 300,000, we started growing tulip bulbs recently, literally three years ago, here again... the merit of my husband is that he managed to involve in this activity, to draw prospects for his sons, son-in-law, they became interested in this issue, and they are all advanced, so, let's speak in such a modern language, because perhaps, if they had not participated... in this production, we would not have achieved that, my husband is

the main strategist of this farm, we met the dutch, we developed a close cooperation, they pushed us to grow tulip bulbs, not tulips, but bulbs, because we were hesitant, everyone said that on our lands in belarus we don't have the same climate, what we tried. what we tried in russia, it doesn't work, the humidity is not the same, the winters are not the same, my nephew works on this farm with his wife, and i want to say, this is the strong backbone, who has irregular working hours, who set a goal, achieves it, but not that that as far as possible, and they live during... in the name of the future they see this future, they strive to live better, because well belarus

is really a country for life, whoever wants to achieve something, whoever really wants to work, has the opportunity to work and achieve, many do not want to go to the village, because well they think that this can be from... they come, everyone says that they gain energy from us, enthusiasm, well we all like it, sons never, and son-in-law nephew never said that they do not like to work here they want change your job, here you work, you work, but the places for rest are also unique,

i want to say that we have in polesie... very hardworking people, each of our people, in the summer it is very difficult for us to find people to work, because everyone has their own garden plots and they are not sown with grass, they are planted with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, almost everyone who is still at that age when there is strength to work... cabbage, people cannot imagine life without work, a person works because he is used to it work, because he works at home, and he works for us the way he works at home, and i

my husband were born in the agro-town of teshkovich, then it was a village. tyshkovichi, parents, wife worked, then there was a collective farm, in the collective farm, as field workers, my parents also worked on the collective farm as field workers, then, well now field workers - it is much, probably, easier and simpler than in those days, it was after the war that people really worked very hard. and we were brought up in such an atmosphere, so our views on life are the same, and especially my husband and i classmates, love from the first grade, in short, everything coincided, i finished eight

grades of tyshkovskaya secondary school and... studied in grodno at the pedagogical college in the preschool department, my husband finished high school, then the army, then we got married very early at 20, tried to live in pinsk, i worked in a kindergarten, my husband worked at a factory, kpal, it was called then, and then it also happened. so that where you were born, there you will be useful, i never thought that i would return to the village, well, because somehow life turns out like that, and to this day, by the way, it it turns out that everyone strives to go to the city, and not only children strive to go to the city, also our parents, maybe because they worked hard, they thought like this, oh, i need

to study and work somewhere in the city, where it’s easier, at the moment... that’s what i want to say, life in the city and the village is not much different, well, at least i mean our region, here’s teshkovich and motol, there’s asphalt everywhere, everyone has gas heating, electricity, shops, everything is within walking distance, at that time of course it wasn’t like that, so we also dreamed of going to the city, and i i never thought that i would return to the village, never, but i dreamed that i would be the head of a kindergarten, i would have an apartment, so i tell everyone that what we have achieved, of course, it is not me, alone or my husband,

but in general, our family as a whole. our life, probably, it changed almost immediately 8 years ago, in 2015 we started all this, we decided, well, it’s a pure adventure, to plant lavender here, there was an empty plot here. so none of us were going to do this, because i worked as an economist, vitalik worked as an engineer, we we met at work, we had this conversation, he says, what do you dream about, i say, well, about everything being... good in the world, for everyone to be healthy, and he says: i want to have an ironing board and lots of shirts, that is, we dreamed at all, we didn’t dream of such a farm, when we

planted lavender, of course, a lot changed, because our life became, well, it submitted to these seasonalities, we began to notice when the seasons change, that there is winter, there is summer, yes, that we began to very much to travel, we practically all this time... on the road, because we live, work in brest, we come here to work here, because - all of this was not built immediately, yes, as they say, it did not all grow at once, it was all gradual, we gradually planted, gradually dug up new areas, we, uh, therefore there was no point in quitting our main job, therefore we combined our main job with this, that is , you are there in the office 5 days a week, you are a serious person, 2 days you are here as a team with these in this dirt, we also had very, very poor living conditions in the house, this

of course added its own extreme, you just plunge into a completely different life, so we learned that there are some difficulties, well, in terms of physical labor, you understand that well, you kind of have to work, no one will do anything for you here, yes, you do everything yourself, so we got tired of course, but in general ... there is such a thing, we noticed that the work is such, he, well, like, for me personally, yes, it is very intense, mental, engineering, yes, well, when you arrive, you break away from all this, from objects, construction and the like, so here you kind of have a moral rest, physically work and rest, you come to renewed, fresh air, lavender is a wonderful plant. lavender is very well matched to our climate, winters well, takes root well, blooms well, it is a perennial that you planted and it pleases with flowering for quite a long time compared to other plants.

the only thing that we do on purpose is that we lay agrotextiles, which protects against weeds and retains moisture. all our bushes almost all of them were propagated by us ourselves using seeds or cuttings, cuttings. we bought some bushes simply out of botanical interest. when you go, you see a granny selling somewhere or somewhere in a garden center - some interesting bush, you grab it, drag it, plant it, right here next to me you can see different varieties, the main lavender, which is bright, quite tall, a rich purple color, yes, this is the usual english narrow-leaved lavender, it is dark, a rich color, those dark bushes that are higher - this is the hitkot variety, that's what it's called, when it dries, it becomes a rich blue color, very beautiful, then we have

a lighter lavender, this variety is most often voznesenskaya, that's what it's called, we also got it from seeds, we didn't grow it on purpose, it's beautiful in bloom, many people like it, some even like lighter lavender, a shade of fragrant. let's say this light lavender, it's good for these chromatic bags, there's also a variety like this, well, it's not even a variety, this is a hybrid of narrow-leaved and

broad-leaved lavender, specially bred, it is called lavandin, its variety is the grossa variety, the same lavandin has many more varieties, in addition, they have already been specially bred by breeders, that's all that grows in the valley... that's what lavandin smells like, and how it smells like this, i don't know, like french perfume, and like men's perfume, a good perfume, that's the kind of comfortable smell, like it smells like cream, and lavender usually smells like grass, hay, the smell of both lavandin and lavender over time during drying it changes, that is, every day it is a new smell, many people eat lavandin seeds, even vitalik once argued, we argued with him very much, he found... and lavandin seeds, here are black dots, but this is not it, only if you get a plant or a seedling cutting somewhere, we are generally almost constantly asked, why do

you need so much lavender? people, well, not a little initiated into the topic, here they ask, well, you planted it, why do you need so much, are you just taking pictures for us or are you doing something else? we, uh, initially we had it a little, for some reason i decided that i can make a bouquet, although i'm not a florist at all, i've never studied this, but maybe, apparently this whole earthy story somehow reveals some new facets to people, and i started making bouquets of dried flowers, adding other dried flowers, our lavender, again we collect... then we use dots in chromatic sachets, this is all our material, that is, after it blooms at a certain moment it needs to be collected no later than a certain stage of flowering, it needs to be collected, dried right, it's right to put it all together, then it's right to use it in a bouquet, in general there are a lot of subtleties, we do all this, what questions may arise about growing wavanda, yes, we have a main question on this site, that it doesn't like

acidic soil, and here we are... practically in the lowland we go into a swamp, forest, pine needles are everywhere, pines, against soil oxidation, we have limestone flour or dolomite flour will be the best remedy, yes, for some summer resident the main point of choosing a place for growing lavender, this should be open, like our sunny place, without oppressive plants, even if it is at a distance of a meter, then lavender will feel that something is bothering it, it will not develop as well as it can. uh , it is good to clear the soil from weeds, it should still be light, even sandy soil is possible, well, usually belarusian garden soil, it is perfect for this, without stagnant water, that is, if you are planting some kind of fermented vegetable garden, yes, a lowland, this is very bad for it, the whole season, all planting of lavender from april practically, if such warm spring already until october, that is, all this time you can plant, if you have a bush, very often the mistake of novice lavender growers, they feel sorry for the bush, it blooms beautifully, well, what can i

do? i'll trim it, well, so what flowers, i want it to bloom longer, in fact, you need to trim it, then the bush, it feels that it will bush out more, it will grow better, it will develop, its crown will develop, the root will develop, this is only a plus for the plant, you see that the maximum the number of bees here are bumblebees, that is, this is officially considered a honey plant, so those who are engaged in honey can plant it for themselves, there is also a problem. which we did not take into account, these are moles, bear, that is, they gnaw at the roots and the bushes begin to fall apart, yes, that is, they are very sensitive to their root system, that is, their main nutrition is from the leaves, as you can see, well, a little, that is , there is no such foliage, that is, all the nutrition comes almost through the root, well, and of course, if it sits there in one place for 5 years, a bush, it is clear that near he has already collected all the minerals, that is, in principle, we

don’t give fertilizers there at all, but if it’s already... big, then i think that in the fall it wouldn’t hurt to feed it a little with some kind of complex pressure, this is my hobby, this is my happiness, these are our flowers, when we started the farm, well, this is in the city...

well, people here are simpler, they are used to working themselves, not organizing work, working physically themselves, so i wouldn’t say that anyone criticized us, but people were initially distrustful of our business, still such reasoning, and who needs these flowers, and to spend money, well because well...

the locality is a testing world somehow people collide somewhere together they go on vacation together they lie in the hospital together and it is nice when they say oh, and i'm going there? so, in imitation, let's say, politics , that is, mistrust has already turned, let 's say, of our economy, if people ask us something, we always prompt,

because from our experience, let's say, if a person wants to achieve something, he will achieve it anyway, and if a person wants to achieve something, why not help him, therefore... peace, that i want to wish myself peace, peace, we must do good, life is one, now such will be the world, we are all hardworking and my children and grandchildren are growing up. and having lived life, well, let's say, having lived most of my life, already a big one, i believe that this is really the main thing, peace and health, and the rest all depends on us.

in our country, in belarus now there are all the conditions, in principle, to start some business, let's say, now it depends more even on the personality, on the person. which he has initiative, if well the person wants to show initiative, in principle, no one limits, that is, to do some business, considering that the climatic conditions now supply us, it does not depend only on the valanda, for many crops, for many crops, yes,

that is, early strawberries, that is, there are early cucumbers, tomatoes, everything that the south of polesia can do, uh, with the same and compete with the same strip with rostov russian on, well , i don’t know on...

somehow you are very proud of it, you are not happy when you no longer want anything, we still want something, in general they say happiness loves silence, but for some reason i decided to share it all, not to hide it all, and it all poured out into a blog, and then from the blog it all poured out into a book called happiness among lavender. and indeed i described completely at random everything that happened to us during these years of ours, while we were creating our farm, it turned out that these are very close stories to many people, it is happiness, it is, well, here it is without...
