Garden path, decorated flower garden
In spring, flower lovers make the same mistake: they try to accommodate as many plants as possible in a limited area. After all, the leaves have not yet blossomed, and when planning plantings, we often do not take into account how they will be in a month or two.
- Therefore, the first rule: keep a distance! This year we had to cut off an old, still great-grandfather's apple tree, whose branches broke off under the weight of fruits and fell on a flower bed, doing a lot of damage. Without an apple-tree, it became as if more spacious and lighter, however, some who felt comfortable in the penumbra (primroses, hosts, ferns, aquilegia), now found themselves in the sun, and in the spring they will have to think about their relocation.
- And since there are not enough shady places for everyone, fast-growing tall people, such as castor bean, sunflower, and an enotera tall, will be able to help. So, the second rule: the plants also need comfort.
- Come to the flower garden not only with a chopper and a watering can, but also with a notebook and pen. Sketch the plan of planting, fix the beginning and end of flowering. And this is the third rule.
