How best to plant flowers at the cottage.

To whom, as not to us, dacnis, understand the eternal problem: What to give more preference to flowerbams or beds? On the one hand, I want to enjoy environmentally friendly harvest, on the other, it is so nice to relax surrounded by wonderful ornamental plants and flowers. It's so difficult to fit everything on our little
A ships of a bright distinction fill the free corners of the garden.

Ten years ago, we purchased in the center of the city of the abandoned and unclean land - only four weaves. I had to work much and diligently, and when construction and repair work in the house and around it ended, it's time to do the garden design.
Now our small plot of land is already pleasing to us with fruits, berries, vegetables and flowers. But at first it was a serious problem - how to rationally use the remaining block of the Earth in two hundred: create a rich-harvest garden or a brightly motley flower garden and an attractive gardery garden with a privided gazebo for a cozy tea party. How to achieve the flower beds and flower beds on the household plot created the feeling of comfort, pleased with the forms and paints.
High flower beds

To begin with, the overall style of the yard interior was chosen - stone and tile, it decorated the walls of the flaggel, a gazebo to relax with a miracle stove and flower beds. The first right decision was to plant flowers: where only it is possible, but with the rational use of the Earth, so that the flower garden does not force out the garden beds. Husband suggested an idea: to build in the middle of the courtyard, around old, but fruitful pears, along the fence, along the walls of the house are high flower beds. The height of the flower was made of 70 cm, filled them with the containers of the earth, humus and sand.
High flowerbed allows you to make a flat plot more interesting: the courtyard begins to revive and blossom from early spring. On the central flowerbed, opposite the kitchen window, the first crocuses, daffodils, tulips are blooming. After flowering, we dig them up, and in their place we sit ampeline petunia of various colors - a real waterfall from gentle buds, which bloom to the most frosts.
We smash on a handful
The second interesting solution is flowers, dissected throughout the territory of a small household plot, compress in two or three separate dense handhes. A closing rose from the main garden plot separating the border, around graceful gladiolus, the husband came up with a metal round frame of a thick wire. Georgins grow among the bushes of red currants, a carpet of bushy Mirabilis with bright yellow-raspberry flowers, etc. When boarding, the flowers look brighter, and there is also a lot of "extra" land. Well, the remaining land occupy under garden cultures, which colors serve as a green background. Every summer, our plot is transformed and looks like a beautiful past. It makes it pleases and makes building all new plans, involuntarily encourages to learn what they did not know earlier. Now we know: not nature limits our capabilities, but only we ourselves.
