    lawn with daisies
    An unpretentious flowering lawn is created from a mixture of seeds based on a perennial daisy, meadow grasshoppers, sheep fescues, red hairs and reds changed. Daisies are light-loving, winter-hardy, grow well on moistened soil. Create a small-colored carpet, especially decorative in the flowering period of lilac. With the onset of summer, its flowering continues in shaded areas.

    Drawing floral patterns
    Bulbous plants can be planted with a beautiful pattern. It can be a circle, a heart or any other symbol that your fantasy tells you. Draw a pattern on the ground with sand or a stick and arrange the bulbs along the given lines, slightly pressing them into the ground (photo on the right). Important: for most varieties, the planting depth is three diameters of the bulb itself. If the soil is clayey, plant the plants 2-3 cm higher, and if the sandy soil - 2-3 cm deeper. Tip: it is better to work from the back of the flower garden to the front or, as in our case, from the center to the outer circle. And it would be nice to note the borders of planting with pegs, otherwise in the spring, when planting a new batch of bulbs, you will not only break the pattern, but also damage the already planted bulbs.

    We offer two creative ways of decorating a lawn with spring-springing bulbous plants.
    1 Crocuses, small-flowered daffodils, muscari or snowdrops can be planted in small groups. To do this, in the place chosen for the bright company, remove the turf (preliminarily cut it with a sharp shovel) and a layer of earth (the thickness depends on the depth of planting). Then plant the bulbs, observing the required distance between them (usually indicated on the package), fill with earth, return the "patch" from the lawn and pound it. After that, place a landing well.
    2 Wild species of crocuses and tulips, as well as a poetic daffodil and a chess grouse will look very impressive on the lawn if the bulbs are planted not in groups, but in a scatter. Such a lawn will delight in its natural beauty. And so that plants wake up early in the spring, plant them in the fall. To do this, take a handful of bulbs and toss them over the lawn. Where they fell, there and plant! Holes in the lawn are easiest to make with special tools for planting bulbs - a hollow cone or a metal-studded peg. And do not forget to water!

    We bought a very neglected plot. There was a lot of garbage, branches, stones - and practically no landings. It took two years for that. that the land more or less to put in order (to the country they came only on weekends, other days - at work).
    First cleaned and dug the territory in front of the house and. because the time to deal with flowers was not, sowed a patch of lawn grass. The site turned out even, it looks very neat. But of course. I wanted flowers too. They decided not to translate the lawn, but to make several flowerbeds directly on it.
    All planned. One flowerbed (central) should have been round, in the background - rectangular along the entire length of the site, and two small triangular flower beds - in front.
    The first thing we did was measure all the flowerbed sizes with a cord. The shovel immediately drew contours along the lawn. Next, the strata were removed from the turf and the ground was taken to the depth of 40 by the shape of the flowerbeds. Geometric formers were obtained. Worked very carefully, so as not to trample down the lawn. The cut turf and earth were taken out of the plot.
    In the resulting depressions laid drainage:
    gravel and sand. With drainage, the roots of the plants will never rot, because the water (rainwater or from irrigation) does not stagnate. On top of the drainage laid the ground, mixing humus into it. The flower beds are slightly raised in relation to the lawn - given the fact that the earth will settle. The flowerbeds were made flat, and narrow grooves were dug along the edges so that water would not drain onto the lawn when watering. A rectangular flower garden in the background planted with white peonies. On the sides, the bushes “supported” with two jasmine bushes.
    Triangular flower beds were planned for low-growing carpet plants. There we planted an antenna (cat's foot), artemisia, santolin, cineraria, echeveria. In the overall picture they look very decorative.
    Bushes of roses were planted in a round bed. In the center there are tall ones, in the middle part - lower grades, and at the edges - undersized.
    All parts of our flower garden look very harmonious. You can not even say which of the flower beds was better - they are just one whole.
