Open to all winds and glances, the country area did not suit me at all, to work in the garden In sight of the neighbors did not want. Constructing monumental fences also did not want, and I began to dream of living hedges. And the fence-dream was not very specific - something thick, green and quite high.
Living fence with their own hands. 10 years have passed, and the reality turned out to be much better than blurry dreams. Hedge I turned the ordinary summer cottages six acres in the real garden. Its inner side has become a good background for lawns and flower beds, pressed the completeness of compositions, and the outer protects from the wind and dust. The birds in it are exploring - my hunters-cats can not get into thick thickets, and some feathered nests come together. In addition, here is full of berries for food. I also built support for Lian. Over the bench in the garden, it gives a pleasant tenak in the sultry heat at the cottage.
The length of hedge It turned out about 30 meters. In it, I landed 15 species and varieties of decorative and fruit shrubs in two rows, one Liano and Zlak. The inner side of the hedge - beautifully blooming and decorative - licorious shrubs: bubbles (Krasnolistnyh) and (zheltolistny) krasnolistnyh barberry, Weigel, viburnum Buldenezh, Japanese spiraea and Argut and raspberry scented (malinoklen). They are planted at a distance of 3 m from each other to a flowering time were seen at its best. Every bush blooms two to three weeks, and during this time became the center of attention.
First April blooming spirea Argut. Graceful thin branches droop under the weight of small white flowers. In May, adorned with pink bell-flowered Weigela, in early June beauty viburnum Buldenezh delights of snow balls. All summer pink flowers blooms fragrant raspberry. Flowering spiraea Japanese in the second half of the summer, and its pink umbrellas inflorescences did not get lost on the background of a bright "participants" in the hedge.
Barberry krasnolistnyh fall or early spring lolusferoy Mow at a height of 1.5 m to the spring he decorated the fence fountain bright crimson young shoots. But to admire them more vibrant fresh foliage in physocarpus, Striga both types of two or three times over the summer.
On the outer side fences planting more dense. Here he planted shrubs with beautiful fruits and thorns, to rid the garden of unwanted visitors. Stand on guard hawthorns, Zelenolistnyh Berberis vulgaris, gooseberry varieties Black Negus, spirea ivolistny with white and pink flowers, cotoneaster, snowberry and golden currant. Some of these plants produce numerous shoots (spiraea, hawthorn, snowberry) and therefore the outer part of the hedge is very thick and dense. In autumn berries ripen here - orange tassels barberry, cotoneaster fruits black and red - hawthorn, as well as clusters of white "balls" snowberry.
Near the gate grows wild rose height 2.5 m. This is an old cultivar. It blooms once at the beginning of the summer semi-double fragrant cream roses. On the other side of the entrance to the site - clematis Tangut. This ascetic and good in the summer, when the blooms, winter, decorated with gray "beard" of seeds. At its winter is not cut and not even to harbor, only to pour a bucket of compost to the roots of the earth. It continues to hedge miscanthus Chinese with pink buds.
When all the leaves fall off, i devote all their attention bushesSince before the time is not enough, and leaves behind is difficult to see anything. Dig extra growth, crop faded inflorescences Spiro shorten branches barberry. Cut out old and damaged shoots. Loose soil under the shrubs, put away the leaves, pour compost soil. In winter hedge out nettrimmed, decorated with multicolored fruits. And in the spring it will be enough to feed the planting nitric fertilizers yes to admire the beauty of plants.
