Vegetable garden in Cyprus 🌿 Fresh greens for a salad, a cucumber just picked from the garden, or a sweet, sunny tomato – why not? 🌞 A vegetable garden on your own plot is not only useful, but also incredibly fashionable! True, like everywhere else, Cyprus has its own characteristics. Let's figure out how to turn your dream of having a vegetable garden into reality. 1. Where to plant❓️ You need to choose a place for your garden wisely. In Cyprus the sun shines all year round, which is wonderful. But in summer its scorching rays can easily “cook” your plants. What should I do? The simplest solution is a canopy. It will create a saving shade in the heat. Another option is to place the beds under the fruit trees. In the summer, their foliage will protect the plants from the sun, and in the winter, when the trees shed their leaves, the light will again fall on the beds. 2. Which beds to choose❓️ This is where the fun begins! Raised beds: they are at the peak of popularity now! Comfortable, beautiful, no need to bend over too much. But there is a nuance: the Cypriot sun can greatly heat the earth, and this overheats the roots of plants. Classic beds “on the ground”: they ideally protect the roots from the heat, but, you see, they don’t look very good, to put it mildly. Golden mean: beds of medium height (20–30 cm). They look neat and the roots are safe. 3. Aesthetics are important ❗️ Let's be honest: vegetables and greens are not those plants that always look their best. Weather, diseases, pests – and now the garden is losing its presentability. How to fix the situation? Frame the vegetable garden with a beautiful green hedge of lavender, rosemary or other evergreens. 🌸 They not only hide the garden, but also decorate the plot. 🐝 Flowers attract bees, which is important for pollination. 🌿 And their aroma repels pests. And, of course, they can be used in the kitchen! Vegetable gardening in Cyprus is not just about vegetables. It's about pleasure, aesthetics and harmony with nature. And if everything is done correctly, it will become a real decoration of your garden! #landscapedesign #gardendesign #garden #landscape
