How To Combine Beauty And Usefulness In A Summer Cottage

Everyone has their own paradise

For fifteen years now we have been developing our site of 20 acres. Like all other gardeners, summer residents, before our territory was always occupied by a vegetable garden, but now flowers have begun to crowd it.

Recently, the site has become prettier, transformed. A recreation area, an alpine slide, a lawn, a rosehip hedge appeared on it. Now our garden is decorated with flowers from early spring to late autumn. There are a lot of annuals, the seedlings of which I grow myself, and everything else is done here with my own hands.

Of course, we are not going to give up growing vegetables for our family either. After all, how nice it is to pick a fresh cucumber from the garden and make a salad from it, adding your own dill and onion, unusually fragrant and healthy.

To make the whole vegetable garden and garden easy to care for, we very actively use soil mulching. All mulching substances inhibit the growth of weeds - some prevent them completely, others only partially, but in this case it is no longer difficult to cope with the weeds.

In summer, we cover the soil between annuals with a thin layer of cut grass. To combat weeds around young trees and shrubs, cover the ground under them with a layer of loose organic material or use black plastic wrap. By the way, it is especially good and useful to use it when planting strawberries, when planting pumpkins, zucchini.

For us, our dacha is a favorite resting place, our hobby, gardening gives us strength and improves our mood. We devote a lot of time and energy to labor on the ground, but our site, our dacha have changed, which the readers themselves can judge by looking at the photographs.

I wish all other lovers of gardens and gardens: create your own paradise, make your dreams come true - and your garden will charge you with new vital energy.
