Grass quinoa drawing. garden quinoa

Haze family

Origin of culture
The garden quinoa grows as a weed in the European part of Russia, in the Caucasus, in the south Western Siberia, in Central Asia.

Beneficial features
Young leaves and shoots contain a large amount of mineral salts, vitamins C and PP. Availability a large number protein makes this plant equal in satiety to animal products. Dry quinoa is added to flour, which increases the nutritional value of bread, which bakes better and lasts longer. The seeds are used to make porridge, which is similar in taste and nutritional value to buckwheat. Quinoa and cutlets are good. Young leaves are used as High Quality. Quinoa is suitable for salads, soups, mashed potatoes, for drying, pickling, pickling.

Biological features
Annual plant, strong, pyramidal, up to 2 m high, with wide heart-shaped leaves. Young stems and leaves are covered with a wax coating. The color of the stems and leaves is the most diverse: the leaves and stem are green, light yellow, red, the leaves are green with red borders, the stem is green, the ends of the leaves are pink.

Varieties
There are no domestic breeding varieties, so they use imported and local ones. Quinoa garden red is used for decorative purposes, the rest - for food.

Growing conditions
Quinoa garden can grow on slightly saline poor soils, however good harvest can only be obtained on soils rich in organic matter.

The quinoa successfully tolerates a short-term drought, but in general it is moisture-loving and, with a lack of soil moisture, forms lateral branches and flower-bearing stems. The leaves become small and hard.

The plant is cold hardy. Seeds are sown in the spring, as soon as the ground thaws. The distance between rows is 60 cm, between plants in a row is 5 cm, the seeding depth is 5 mm. Shoots are easily identified by purple cotyledons. They are thinned out, leaving the plants in a row at a distance of 25-30 cm from each other.

Garden quinoa can be sown at several times: the first time - in early spring, then every two weeks until the onset of hot weather. The last time it is sown in early August. The seeding rate is 1-1.5 g/m2.

To keep the greens tender and juicy, watering is carried out regularly. Effective top dressing with a solution of urea (5-10 g per 10 liters of water), which is given after thinning.

Economic suitability occurs 20-25 days after germination. Harvest or cutting off entirely young plants 30-40 cm high, or cutting off the lower leaves.

In all varieties of mari, seeds are sown in open ground without termination or with surface termination. When spring sowing in late April - early May shoots appear unfriendly, after 5-14 days. Plants often renew themselves by self-sowing.

At the end of June, buds appear on the main stem. In mid-July, plants enter the flowering phase, continue to develop, grow and bloom until the end of August - early September, when the fruiting phase begins. With the onset of a cold snap (in the conditions of the Moscow region in the first decade of October), the growing season ends. growing season on average lasts about 140 days.

How to get seeds
To get the seeds of the garden quinoa, the plants of the first sowing period are left until they ripen. Seeds are yellow-brown, weight of 1000 pieces is 4-6 g, they remain viable for 1-2 years.

Gone are the days when people had to eat quinoa bread. Today, the plant is used by gardeners to decorate their flower beds and suburban areas.

genus quinoa

More than two hundred herbaceous plants, shrubs and shrubs represent the genus Atriplex.

The stems and leaves of plants are often covered with a white powdery coating, to which, according to one version, they owe their name.

Varieties

salt quinoa(Atriplex halimus) - perennial shrub, growing in height up to 2.5 meters. In coastal areas, hedges are arranged from it. The silver-gray foliage of the salt quinoa is like shiny porcelain, giving the bush the appearance of a porcelain decorative sculpture. Quinoa roots well absorb salt from the soil, thereby cultivating the soil.

garden quinoa(Atriplex hortensis) is a herbaceous annual whose leaves people use as food, adding young leaves to salads. A bush growing up to two meters is covered green leaves. There are varieties that have reddish leaves, such as garden red quinoa. The Orach Red variety is distinguished by leaves that have a purple underside. And the variety "Red Feather" has ovoid-rounded small fruits of a reddish color.

Quinoa lentils(Atriplex lentiformis) is a perennial shrub growing to a height of up to three meters. Its erect stem with spreading shoots is covered with silvery leaves, the shape of which can vary from oblong to ovate. Lenticular quinoa is a dioecious plant, that is, in order to grow your own seeds, you must have two bushes: female and male.

cultivation

They arrange hedges from the quinoa, planting bushes at a distance of 40 cm from each other, and also grow it in single and group plantings. Quinoa is a heat-loving plant, and therefore it is more comfortable for it to grow in a mild climate. But they also grow it in more northern regions, cutting in early spring under the root of the aerial part of the plant, damaged by winter frosts. The roots that have overwintered in the soil release new shoots, continuing the life of the perennial quinoa.

Quinoa is planted in open ground in colder areas in spring, and in warm climates in autumn. The soil of the quinoa loves loose. Salt quinoa can grow on saline soil, being its healer, cleansing the soil from salt pollution. Accumulating absorbed salts in its leaves, the quinoa turns into natural fertilizer. The leaves are dried and used as a nitrogen fertilizer, grinding them into powder and fertilizing the soil for plants that need nitrogen.

At the beginning of the growing season, decorative quinoa is fed with complex fertilizer at the rate of 30 grams per 1 square meter. For garden quinoa, the leaves of which are eaten, you need and organic top dressing. For example, when fertilizing with manure, 4-5 kilograms of manure is required per 1 square meter of land.

The landing site for the quinoa is chosen sunny. The plant is resistant to high temperatures, but from frost, as already noted, the aerial part dies off, but live roots remain, resuming vegetation in the spring.

Swan in the spring and summer requires regular watering, especially during prolonged drought.

Maintaining appearance

For supporting appearance plants must be promptly removed severely damaged and dried shoots.

reproduction

You can propagate the quinoa by seeds, cuttings from shoots, shoots.

Propagation by sowing seeds is rarely used. More often, at the end of spring, cuttings are cut from the shoots and planted in clean sand, or sandy loamy light soil. Until the roots form on the cuttings, the soil is kept moist. Cuttings with roots are planted in open ground in a chosen place.

If the plant develops shoots with its own roots, they are separated from mother plant and planted in a permanent place.

Enemies of the quinoa

Subject to the rules for growing quinoa, it rarely succumbs to diseases and pests. But when growing a plant on heavy soil or with an excess of moisture in the soil, the roots of the plant rot.

The next enemy is frost, damaging the aerial part of the plant, and with snowless severe frosts the roots may also freeze.

This plant is associated with most weeds. But in the meantime, it's beautiful. vegetable plant, only for some reason firmly forgotten. And the quinoa has long been used as medicinal plant, and practically harmless, without side effects and an impressive list of contraindications.

Garden quinoa, or vegetable (Atriplex hortensis) – annual herbaceous plant from the Marev family ( Chenopodiaceae) with an erect, branched stem, 50-120 cm high. The leaves are alternate, gray-green with a powdery coating. The shape of the leaf is sometimes compared to the tip of a halberd. The inflorescence is a complex brush. It differs from many other species in that the female (pistillate) flowers have a small 5-segmented perianth. The fruit is a nut. Blooms in July-August. The fruits ripen in August-September.

It is assumed that the plant comes from Central Asia, but as an adventive spread in many areas of the European part, in the southern regions of Western Siberia, in Central Asia . It grows near dwellings, in vegetable gardens (weed plant), in saline steppes.

In addition, there are several weed species that are widely found in our gardens, but they are not used for food.

Whether in the garden, in the garden ...

like anything annual plant, the quinoa reproduces only by seeds, which ripen on the plant rather unevenly - the lower ones are already crumbling, and the upper ones are just being tied. Hence the two rules for their collection. Shoots are cut off when the seeds are ripe to the middle and laid out on paper. They are well dosed and then they are easy to thresh. They retain their germination for a very short time (remember beets) and therefore it is better to renew seed stocks annually. It is possible to sow this crop, given its precocity, from May to July. The soil should be well fertilized and the site well lit. Otherwise, the leaves will be small and not so "fat".

Seeds are sown in rows at a distance of 40-45 cm to a depth of 1-2 cm. Crops must be watered. Shoots appear very quickly, after 4-6 days. As the plants grow, pinch them constantly. This operation is necessary for the plants to branch and form more leaves. But if you need to get seeds, then, on the contrary, it is better to leave the plants to grow in 1 stem. Then the seeds ripen more uniformly and are easier to collect.

Care consists in weeding and loosening. With a lack of moisture, the leaves are tough, so in dry years, do not forget about watering. In addition, in the event of drought, the plants quickly turn to flowering and almost do not form leaves.

Harvested as it grows, like spinach. Leaves can be stored frozen or pickled.

Protein and no oxalates

Light green matte (without powdery coating) quinoa leaves are of nutritional value. They found significant amounts of protein, carotene, vitamin C, as well as fats, fiber, mineral salts. Unlike spinach and sorrel, quinoa contains very little oxalic acid and is not contraindicated in people suffering from cholelithiasis and kidney stone disease.

As a vegetable, medicinal and ornamental plant, quinoa was known back in Ancient Greece. For the first time, the plant was described by the famous doctor and scientist of the ancient world Dioscorides. Pancakes were baked from quinoa and porridge was cooked. Hippocrates and Galen recommended it for jaundice, frequent constipation. As an external agent, the herb was used as an emollient poultice, relieving gouty pains, pains of hemorrhoidal cones, and other painful tumors. The leaves and flowers of the red quinoa were drunk instead of tea for colds - hoarseness, accumulation of sputum.

In an 11th-century medical poem, Odo of Mena wrote about this plant:

“As they say, quinoa. If eaten, it softens stomach.

If, like a patch, you apply grass or raw, or boiled,

The patch applied reduces scab-covered nails,

The same treatment, they say, and the "sacred fire" will succeed.

If the grass is rubbed together with vinegar, honey and soda

And apply, they say, gout will help from hot.

According to Galen, and jaundice still exterminates

Its seed, if often taken together with wine.

In the Middle Ages, the quinoa occupied an honorable place in herbalists. In the herbalist of 1632, the quinoa is divided into varieties - "green", "red" and "white". In England, it has been grown since the 16th century, and in America it was a very popular vegetable in the 19th century. However, in the 20th century it was forgotten for almost a hundred years.

With gout and swelling of the joints, you can take a fresh above-ground mass of quinoa, sprinkle on it apple cider vinegar, add a little salt and honey, mix thoroughly until juice appears and use for compresses.

Interestingly, in the villages, fresh crushed grass was applied to splinters (sore spots) and after a while the splinters themselves came out.

And quinoa seeds dyed wool in blue color. When using grass, wool treated with bismuth azoate is dyed olive.

Note to foodies

In the famine years in Russia, flour was made from quinoa seeds, a small amount of rye flour was added to it and bread was baked. The scalded leaves were widely used to make mashed potatoes, and raw leaves were used to make salad. In the central black earth regions, it was cultivated to obtain grain, from which porridge and flour were prepared.

The flowers are unisexual, some varieties are monoecious, others are dioecious. male flowers consist of 3-5 perianth lobes and 3-5 stamens. The female flowers usually lack a perianth, but are surrounded by two leafy bracts and contain a short-styled ovary and 2-stigmata.

A common weed can be found in places with sufficient moisture, for example, near a reservoir or in a ravine, often grows in wastelands and forest edges.
