Our contest "Envy, Neighbor!"

I want to tell you about the interesting, unusual corners of our summer cottage. Let's kind of take a walk through our garden, then we won't miss anything, and it will be easier to get an idea of it. In front of the porch of our country house, a whole bed of phlox is planted. There is always a wonderful aroma here. These phloxes are different from the rest: they are white in color and much larger than others. An apple tree of the Antonovka variety is planted next to the phlox. And under it are a large table and bench. It is very pleasant to have lunch or just sit here in hot weather. The apple tree protects from the bright sun - it seems to be bent over the table a little, so you can dine and calmly go about your business.

Grows almost directly in front of the table

clematis is the pride of our site. It is almost 3 meters high, winds along a ladder, beautiful, with large purple flowers, of which there are usually a lot of them (about 45-60). None of the neighbors have this! Let's go further, there is another apple tree, Polosatka varieties. Under it is planted nasturtium, it wraps around a tree trunk. The nasturtium has beautiful large velvety orange and yellow flowers, and indeed, it looks very beautiful. Lilies are located opposite: white, pink, yellow, tiger - they are a real decoration of our garden. And irises grow next to them. The most beautiful purple-yellow, they smell of French perfume, their flowers are the largest. A little further there is a huge mallow bush, 1.7 m high with small pink flowers, it looks wonderful.

We have built a greenhouse behind the mallow. And on the sides of it, at the entrance, we planted delphiniums, they are tall, of different shades of blue. They serve as protection from the sun: since the greenhouse is made of glass, it is especially hot on hot days. Another large delphinium bush stands in front of a small greenhouse and also protects it from the sun. We have a whole bed of asters growing next to a glass greenhouse. They are of different colors and different varieties. At the entrance to our site, moss grows on the sides of the path, and it ends with ivy, and everything is planted in compliance with symmetry. Perhaps I talked about the main, most remarkable plants of the garden, but of course, on our site there is still a huge number of flowers, various plants, shrubs. You can see some of them in the photos.

But one more important detail of our summer house cannot be missed. Here you can definitely say: "Envy, neighbor!" Behind the fence, along our site, seven oaks are planted, they are already 14 years old. The seedlings were taken very small from the forest. Now the oaks are two meters high. We trim them every week so that they have a spherical shape. Here we also have a pleasant place to relax, because there is a bench among the oak trees. We often take pictures here. Even neighbors come and ask permission to be photographed against the backdrop of our oak trees. We also make good bath brooms from these oaks. To make the plants look more well-groomed, we mow the grass under and around them, we get a neat lawn. No one has such oak trees in our gardening "Toshiki" near Luga. Whoever passes by will definitely stop and admire these strong plants. In general, we have a lot of trees and bushes on our site. These are three plums, and eight apple trees, and two cherries, and two gooseberry bushes, and one pear, etc. And then there is lilac, jasmine, rose hips. When they bloom, they delight any person with their lush clusters of flowers and a unique aroma. And, of course, we ourselves are pleased to live surrounded by many amazing and beautiful plants that have found a place in the garden and around it.who found a place in and around the garden.who found a place in and around the garden.
