At last we have more time to garden. My husband picked up the lawn mower. He set to work with creativity and ardor. He mowed the grass, some of my perennials and half hydrangea bush "Anabel".
In response to my fearsome look, he said it was the worst half. A prime half, with the most beautiful flowers, he left personally for me.
Late jasmine - lucky, it is impossible to mow.
A few years ago there was clay. I was an inexperienced gardener, and made a mistake - rotted sawdust added to the upper layer of soil and a little humus. I do not even add lime. Of course, in the first year of my plants turned yellow. Sawdust in the heavy ground took a lot of nitrogen. It is necessary to put on the free territory of the polyethylene. Then put the top 3 sawdust bucket , 7 ounces urea and pour water , then again in the same order as: sawdust, urea, water. Then cover the top layer of polyethylene, crushing her with stones. Two weeks later, the sawdust can be used. But it is good for loose light soil. Sawdust is not compatible with the clay. So I took a shovel and dug a hole under the flower bed depth of 19 inches. Neighbors asked, "Why are you doing bomb shelter? " Remaining clay I scattered about the garden, the surface is smoother. Then I bought a good land and just poured it into the pit. Now I add fertilizer and no problems.
The weather this year - the lady capricious and adventurous. One day - Turkey, the other - Norway. The weather has become universal: "The sun, but there may be rain," or "rain, but the sun is possible." Two days ago in Moscow was a cataclysm, a hurricane with a rain shower dropped even traffic lights. Lightning flashed without interruption. This we were warned when it ended.
But we gather peas.
First cucumbers.
Salad and basil.
Courgettes and tomatoes - in dynamics.
Currants will collect in a week.
Potted plants in the garden.
I crop the pelargonium spring. Young cuttings are planted in the house. Older plants I bring to the garden and put in one pot tightly.
Coleus.
Bengal rose. I think it's best for Rose home. Unpretentious, hang-downing, has a pleasant aroma. The flower lasts very long. It is not sold in stores, only from one hand to another.
