Seeds on snow

Cordially thank you site authors and all readers for not regretting the time, they share their successes and failures, generously and disinterestedly give delivel councils and recommendations. Therefore, I can not stay aside.

It so happened that the village, where I live, is in the sorrowful list of letters. But we try our best to make our beautiful places finally empty. And one of the first steps in this direction was the annual flower competition arranged by the administration.

My flower garden is only four years old, but it is already pleased with lush flowering from early spring to late autumn. My ideas very much liked fellow villagers and organizers of the competition. I received a special prize for love for my native edge.

Almost all your flowers and decorative shrubs I grow from seeds and green cuttings. And I advise everyone to do the same. In this case, the plant is faster adapted to local conditions, and failures on one grade will insure you from failures in the future.

Perhaps my way is not original and certainly someone makes exactly the same, but only write no time.

For sowing use shallow bowls (plastic transparent containers). I puncture the bottom of the hot nail. Then it stack charcoal (from its own furnace) from above finely chopped with scissors sphagnum moss. It is harvested in late October, after the frosts and store in a shed in a frozen form. Next, pour the soil, too, harvested autumn. The composition is as follows: compost, sand, turf (very old), sheets and turf ground, ash. No fertilizers make no. Good sift the mixture and freeze. When comes planting time seedling soil thawed at room temperature. In any case not in the oven! Ground I never calcined. I believe that he is dead, after such a procedure.

The soil in the bowl well compacted at the walls. If you land hard, clay, moss can be added directly into it.

Most often, the soil is not watered, and put on him a thick layer of snow and wait until it melts. Then laid on the ground toilet paper, and on it - the seeds. Such way good because it can be clearly seen where I put them. But there is plants, seeds which do not germinate in the light. Then I sow them directly in the snow. Taya, he tightens their on the desired depth. So sow petunia, lobelia, Iberis, kohiyu, clematis species, alpine asters, delphiniums, heliotrope.

Of course, shoots at me under a fluorescent lamp. Sprouts can not be withdrawn, well-developed, and then grow beautiful flowers.

Our advice:

• Before planting flower beds Think appearance. At its center is good to plant tall plant or a small pine tree. Excellent solution also - decorative pillar pyramid with vines. We advise cottagers prosotret: Water in the garden with their own hands.
