Interesting to read about growing conditions (temperatures and sunshine) in your part of the world, Irina. Very, very different than Western Canada: we don't usually dare put anything in the ground before mid-May.
You're very welcome! I came by that tip by accident but I liked it very much -- putting waste to good use.
I used to think most of our arable land is loom, like in the Ukraine, but it turns out most of the arable land by acreage is something called cinnamon forest soil, which is high in clay but also high in humus, so they're rather fertile. Nice name, too.
P.S. I made some apricot wine a couple of years ago. It wasn't horrible and had a very nice colour. :D

Agreed. Where I live in Oz we have a shortish summer.
But I also have roses (not really a fan) and rosemary grows well as do tomatoes. Thanks for the banana peel tip !
I had a magnificent apricot crop without any worms at all, I think I need to "invest" in a still :)
Is the Bulgarian soil similar to the famous Ukrainian soil ?

We have places like this, too, up in the mountains. People grow their tomatoes in pots and only transplant them to the soil around late May or June.
