#garden time

[dimalink]

Summer continues, and half of it is already gone.

Summer continues. Half of it is already gone. Summer has crossed the equator. I try to be at the countryside every weekend. It seemed like I'd already settled in. A house, a table, a computer. Tea. A garden. But there's so much to do that it's like a new universe every year. Everything happens differently. Last year, I planted my own garden for the first time. And this year, I've expanded it. And I've added variety to the plants.

In growing the garden, I made many mistakes, among other things. But I still have a positive outcome. The flowering season is coming soon. Some flowers have already been blooming for a long time, because I planted them at the end of February. And I planted them in the garden in June and July. I've continued planting all summer. And I've been busy with it. This is my new activity. I spent the first half of summer planting. It's something new. Planting so many plants. I haven't even tallied up yet which ones have grown and which haven't.

The garden is big. And I bought Fertika fertilizer. For the garden. In small bags. It'll last me through the summer. I think the model is called Plus. Or so I think. I was busy. We take the bag. It's white and has flowers painted on it. A beautiful drawing by an artist.

I've mastered that too. A 10-liter watering can. An iron one from the old days. Excellent tool. And a shovel. I bought a spout for the watering can. A plastic one. It fits. Watering cans come in different diameters. I measured it and chose the right one. They are standard, but the sizes vary. And I've already fertilized twice. So far, I've fertilized half the garden. The first half the first time. Next week, the second half. Well, just a test. Everything is working out. Now I plan to water the entire garden with fertilizer. Mineral. In one go. Especially since I've already planted almost everything.

I've only noticed the noticeable things so far. Marigolds are growing beautifully in the garden. Funny Clown, lemons, and Alice. Alice is the name for a different mixture of flowers. There's a similar mix for asters and marigolds. An excellent choice. The cornflowers are growing well. The asters are still growing noticeably. But they're still green. But tall. And the zinnias are still growing. They've grown noticeably. Including when I tore up the grass and fertilized them. The garden is growing. I'm almost done planting everything. And I'll get around to inspecting the garden and fertilizing it.

Even though I mostly did planting. I don't regret it. I was outdoors. It's good for me. I had a lot of physical activity. The weather was varied. Sunny. Hot. Cool. But warm. Just chilly for summer. And there was rain. I found everything interesting. There was hot, too. In short, there was a complete variety of weather. I remember the heat. And the rain, too. And cooler weather, too.

A great time. The countryside and summer. My day off. Amazing days outdoors. I remember running across the entire property to the watering can. And then back to the garden. I remember digging the soil. And then planting. Looking for a spot in the garden where I could plant something. I remember planting asters in a line. I'm moving in a circle. So that in about five years I'll end up back where I started last year.

I remember planting lime zinnias. In a new spot. I remember planting marguerites. They're so small and cute. Still green. I remember planting tall, long cornflowers. They're long and tall. Great memories. I hardly spent any time in the house. I didn't even turn on the computer. I was busy with the garden. But I'll probably change that soon. I plan to spend time with computers at the countryside, too. Studying. And playing games, too. After all, I have a day off.

For complete balance. Just need to factor in the computer. Studying and relaxing, computer games. I also played with the camera. I have two digital compact cameras. They're older models, but they're more than good enough for a start in photography.

I'm just shooting for now. To see the shot. I shoot more. And I want to see the shot. That's my moment. This year, I also got into the train game—as a way to get to the countryside. Two hours on the road. With music on my phone. I listen to it on Winamp5. What a great time!

Flower Gallery XVI – Scarlet Buds

My summer garden 2025 is full of flowers. And there are asters growing there. Entire bushes of them. They just grow together. On rather small stems are medium to large buds. They're definitely big for such stems. The maximum possible size. Sometimes they even fall to the ground, and the stems don't support them. They need sticks or tying. This is my first such discovery about asters.

The flowers are very beautiful. And they grow well in groups. Close together. In large numbers, they create a decoration for a green carpet of grass. They look very beautiful. They grow beautifully. A breeze can move them. And they can even fall to the ground. Without wind, they maintain their balance. But the slightest gust of wind causes them to fall sideways. Or even lie on the ground. Not all of them. Some plants. But there are enough to draw attention to this.

I really liked the asters and will grow them again. Look how beautiful the scarlet color is. These plants. There are many of them. And there are different colors. But here's a whole section with scarlet. They grow well. And the colors are different. But you can also choose one color. Such noticeable petals. And a round shape. A nice bud.

Asters have grown in abundance. And that's a huge plus for a beginning gardener. They are quite convenient plants. They grow well. And most importantly, they get along well next to each other. I planted them quite closely.

It's pleasant to stroll in such a garden. Many beautiful flowers grow in clumps. In small groups. Summer's work is done – and you can stroll. The garden has grown. It's very positive to look at it. Sunshine. And everything is growing. And blooming. Aster plants take root well. The only thing to remember is the recommendation: plant them once every five years in the same place. I haven't tried it myself yet.

Walking in the garden is nice and fun. A good mood and serenity. A bright day. Flowers all around. And green grass. Beautiful flowers. Scarlet asters, for example. A whole clump. Quite a few of them have even grown. I don't even remember how many there were when I planted them.

They've grown beautifully. They've gotten big and bloomed. Now it's time to go and look at them. It's like being in a museum. Only here there are flowers. They're interesting to look at. Asters aren't very tall flowers. You have to bend down to the ground to get a better look.

Asters aren't very big, but there are many of them. They win by quantity, as they say. And by the variety of colors. In large numbers, they'll definitely look great. In a flowerbed or a vegetable garden. The garden is their place. An excellent choice for a gardener.

Asters, asters – a wonderful summer memory. It's so wonderful now to look at photos from last season. Season 2025. The asters are growing beautifully. Scarlet. Such a huge cluster. A group of plants. Towering above the green grass. I can't remember how the bees, ants, and beetles reacted to this. But they were probably flying around. Most likely.

Asters are beautiful and interesting flowers. They're growing and enjoying themselves. A gardener can also rejoice at the sight of such a miracle growing. The asters look wonderful in my summer garden. So scarlet. So almost reddish, but not red. What a color! It's always interesting to see what will grow.

First, the green bushes grow. And then the flowering begins. In my case, at the end of July. Flowering gradually began. They continued growing for half the summer. And before that, they were growing on the windowsill in the spring. They take quite a while. But then such scarlet buds appear. It turned out so beautiful. Such a summer moment. Joy.

Flower Gallery XV – Multicolored Asters, Lemon Marigolds, and Golden Towers

My garden. Asters and marigolds. And something else. Something that also looks like marigolds. Yellow like the sun. But very tall. I think it's called a golden tower. But they're very tall when they grow, even taller than me. The Summer Garden is full of beautiful flowers. And something has been growing at the dacha for a long time. I don't even remember how long. I brought this into my garden, too.

There are many asters. They grow in bushes. This is the garden of 2025, summer 2025. There are many asters. They have their own corner. And there were many of them there. Large, yellow marigolds have grown. In the central part. They are very large. And here's another growing in another place, almost as tall as a tree.

But these are flowers. Like a bush in a clump. With golden balls at the top. Another interesting plant. They are like marigolds, yellow as a lemon. But very tall. They even grow taller than a person. Perennials. They grow in a clump. And they grow on their own every summer!

Such a green spot. A green corner. Where the grass grows. Outside the city. It's a wonderful place to relax on a weekend. And you can do some gardening there. That's what I do. Asters are small plants and grow well. They have an interesting trait. They recommend planting them in different places. Plant them in the same spot once every five years. Otherwise, they can get sick. That's the recommendation. This is my first summer with these asters. It's a mystery to me. Where will I plant them in the 2026 season!

Marigolds grow very well. They are extremely hardy plants. And there are a wide variety of varieties. In the 2025 season, these were yellow. Lemon-colored. Like the sun. I noticed an interesting trait: they look like golden towers. Such tall flowers, almost two meters tall. Thick stems. Like corn. About. And a flower on top. Yellow. With large petals.

Also an interesting resemblance. Only the golden towers are very tall. And perennial. They have their place in the garden. They were growing even before my first garden. A long time ago. And let them continue to grow. They delight me every year. The asters are bright and literally sparkle in the sun. They come in a wide variety of colors. It's convenient to use a mixture of varieties. A mixture of colors. So that they are different. It turns out very beautiful.

Asters are beautiful flowers. Not very large or tall. But a mixture of colors. And a very bright, sunny spot. Their petals are so noticeable. And beautiful colors. A wide variety. I planted them for the first time in 2025. And I was amazed at how many different colors there were. A whole palette for an artist! And they grow in the bright sun.

The flowers look simply wonderful in the dense greenery. I look at my garden in 2025 and am delighted. This is part of the garden. There are other flowers too. Dahlias, an excellent choice. And a personal choice – zinnias. There are also some other things. And the lettuce is growing. All about 2025. It's nice to look at it and be delighted. The flowers are bright and beautiful. The grass is green and beautiful too. And there's lettuce and radishes growing. You could eat them! Such small bushes. A garden is a great place to relax. It's a great hobby.

Flowers are interesting. Lettuce and radishes are also areas of interest. This time I'm showing you Asters, Marigolds, Lemons, and Golden Towers. It's wonderful to watch everything grow. And then it starts blooming. It's a sunny day. And everything becomes colorful.

The marigolds are large and yellow. The lemons are growing so well. And there are a few more bushes with golden towers off to the side. Now they're on my garden list too. I'll take care of them too! Although they're growing on their own!

I just stood in my garden and picked up an ant and let it crawl around on my hand for a while and I looked at it and I found out this sort of ant actually shines green and then I put it down

Flower Garden VII – Magic and Sorcery

Magic and sorcery. Flowers are like magic wands. And they grow. This magical place is full of fabulous and incredibly beautiful things. And flowers are a wonderful guide to the world of magic. It's right here. It's as if only something invisible separates you from it.

A garden is such a beautiful place that it will bring you closer to it. There are flowers that are easy to grow. These include asters, marigolds, zinnias, and cornflowers. So, if you plant them, you won't be left without a garden. Flowers will surprise you. They grow in an interesting way. At first, they're not much different from green grass. Even different types of flowers look alike. For now, they're just green bushes.

Flowers – they're so magical. Their vibrant colors clearly speak for themselves. They're like those bright and beautiful fantasy drawings by great artists. You might see such drawings on the covers of fantasy books. Or in video games. Like IceWind Dale, Baldur's Gate. Or Wizardry, or Might and Magic.

Flowers are for the same thing. That's how you learn magic step by step. You immerse yourself. A garden. Flowers sway in the wind. Communicating with each other in a magical language you don't understand. A breeze. A summer breeze. Soon I will hear it again. And feel it.

Marigolds are the center of my flower constellation. Since we're talking about stars. That means asters. And other flowers – zinnia and cornflower. My flower constellation. My first flower magic project. It was a success in 2025. It was an extremely memorable event. Asters and marigolds, cornflower and zinnia. I am very grateful to them. I spent the whole year on this magic. Bright colors. And a sunny effect. Just what I needed. My sunbeams. Among the flowers.

I planted each type of plant in its own corner of the garden. That's how the garden turned out. Asters come in a wide variety of colors. I was very surprised to see them when they were already blooming. And all the other flowers, too. This is my magic. My garden. A place where bees and flies flock. Beetles and other insects. You can be friends with them, too.

They also love these beautiful, colorful buds. Of course, the garden is calm and pleasant. Sunlight. Beautiful flowers. The most magical place. I think they still bloom in the fall, too. I just haven't seen it yet. I literally finished the season on September 14th. Everything was like summer. Everything was growing and blooming.

Asters are, of course, closely connected to the cosmos. They are like a projection of some kind of stars. It's hard to say which ones. In the heavens and beyond—such a string of stars. It's impossible to understand. It's difficult to swim in that ocean. Cornflower. A very good friend. Large and beautiful. I would even say it's like a rose. A very beautiful plant. Enormous. And the colors are so rich. Totally cinematic. The cornflower is a movie star. With great effects and a well-chosen color palette.

It's a wonderful tradition. Coming to the garden every weekend. And seeing what's growing there. It's even interesting to see what the flowers do when I'm not there. They converse with the breeze. And the sun. That's for sure. A flower garden is about magic. The magic of flowers. My flower season starts around the end of May. And it lasts while it's warm. Like, until mid-September. It depends. And it definitely lasts all summer. The sunniest and most magical time of the year.

It's nice to look at photographs of flowers. And realize how beautiful they are. And that such things exist.
