Plant of the Day

Tuesday 22 August 2023

In a local garden show there was this exhibit of the distinctive flowers of Viola cornuta 'Tiger Eye’ (violet, pansy, heartsease, violetta, Johnny jump up). Violas are cool season plants and can remain in bloom throughout the winter.

Seedbeds

It was excellent day. It was a start of a country house season. Weather is fine. Day itself was hot. And closer to the evening it was a little fresh wind. And in a dinner time itself it was maximum hot. And later hot weather starts to be less intense. And I in a most hot period start to dig a seedbeds. As my brother said – what are you digging here a trenches. Because of seedbeds should to be a 5-6 cm in a depth. And I dig it with a shovel. Hour and a half. And I get tired. At the hot sun. But it was fun. I do a breaktime.

And I decide to make a seedbeds with a three rows. And I dig them about hour and a half. Even maybe more time. So, first time, in this new season, I take a shovel in a hands. And I was surprised. How hard – it is to dig a ground. And by the way- to dig a trenches – it is even more hard. More hard, than a seedbeds. But, even to dig a seedbeds – you need to be a rather physical trained. So, I at the very start feel, that I am tired. And, it was a big hot weather around. And while I dig it, hot weather starts to be less hot, and wind, little fresh cold, and it is still hot. Weather starts to be less hot, while I dig.

So, looks like it should to be easy things. Just dig a little seedbeds. But, looks like, it requires a big physical strength. But, as times goes, you are feeling better about to dig with a shovel. At last, I do nothing with a shovel about a year. So, its ok. And I make it complete. And get tired. And go to make a tea. And it was a hot weather. After such a physical work, tea was extremely delicious. What a taste has a tea at the summer. It is most delicious tea.

Later, i watch the seedbeds, that I dig. And I make corrections them, with my own hands. It takes some time. So, when I finish all of these, it was already about four o clock, evening starts, and weather is more fresh and with a little cold wind. And I, at this moment, go to drink a tea, again. And, so, I think - will it grow something or not. So, I buy seeds in a casual store. And I give myself a try to grow something at the first time. About interest. And for some fun.

So, we will see, will it grow something or not. Well, cool to have even 1 flower, or several…anything. There are flowers in these seedbeds. Heartsease, asters, petunia, and some more. For example, I throw a seeds with Sprite. Plant has a name zinnia Sprite. And I wish, that something, anything will to grow. But anyway, it was fun to make all these things with a shovel. Such a summer positive.

When brother looks at this. At the result. How it looks. He said, that it looks like someone deliver flowers in a movie Night at Roxberry. So, you take a flower and throw it at some place. Such a funny movie. Funny, cool. Nice moment. And, yes, I spent a time with a fun. But from other hand, I was tired, cause do not have a physical activity for a long time.
