    Deciding to arrange a flower garden on the site, we did not immediately decide on the style. Tried several options. We had a long rectangular flower bed along the entire fence, and small even squares-flower beds. Tried to create a fashionable and now mixborder. All this was not bad, but not so good as to get real pleasure from contemplating the flower garden.
    We wanted to combine the originality of the shape of the flower garden and the simplicity in the care of plants. As a result, in the fifth year of searching and thinking, we stopped at a flower garden in a regular style. And they were right: the plot began to acquire its own-face. A regular garden does not tolerate anything superfluous. it can be called noble and even strict, but in this ordering there is a tremendous beauty.
    Of the birch round calibrated logs with a diameter of 70 mm (in common parlance - pencils) we built fencing for the flower beds - small structures of the type in the form of squares, rectangles and triangles. Of course, first they were treated with an antiseptic with the addition of the color of the desired color. It turned out even better than we expected!
    The flower beds were arranged along the fence, creating an interesting geometric pattern. The paths between them were covered with black covering material
    (pre-digging passages) and covered with sawdust. This blocked the road for weeds and saved themselves from constant work on their pulling. To decorate the tracks used stones of different colors and sizes.
    Immediately behind the flower garden planted a number of fruit trees: cherries, plums (they are framed square logs in two tiers) - A pear and apple trees are located around the lawn (between them settled hydrangeas).
    I must say, the idea of ​​a regular flower garden has justified itself. It looks just great - effectively and accurately. And how easy and pleasant to take care of plants! Now, along with colorful annuals in our flower garden, settled and perennial inhabitants. Our garden has become brighter, more diverse. Now, always, when I go out to the flower garden, my heart knocks a little harder - it rejoices in beauty.

    We got a plot open on all sides: the sun, the wind, and outsiders. This created a feeling of discomfort, insecurity. But the fence with 4 sides, too, was not to be fenced off. After all, nature, why put it in a box? We decided to gird a piece of green ribbon - a hedge.
    On both sides they decided to make not just a decorative hedge, but also a fruit fence: they planted bushes of grapes. As soon as the bushes grew up, they dug along the edges of a row of pipes and stretched between them several rows of wire. As the grapes grew, they tied the shoots to the wire. Now our grapes have grown already decently, giving fruit.
    And while he was short, we hung on the upper wire-flying flower beds. In the first year they dropped the classics - petunias of different colors. Well they were fed and watered, as a result, petunia bush grew very lush, the greens fell to half a meter. The next year we decided to turn our flying garden into a "flying vegetable garden": we planted beans and tomatoes in pendant baskets. Got both benefit and beauty. Especially beautifully blossomed beans - we just fell in love with these red and white flowers.
    But we did not refuse petunias in hanging baskets: we decorate the veranda of the house with such air flower beds every year. In addition, the husband specially set up two wooden posts in the courtyard: hang baskets with petunias on the hooks hammered into them.
    But our main pride is the facade side. We decided to make it a ceremonial one. They stopped on the evergreen boxwood-
    those (axle). Already during the work, they decided that a long, monotonous line would look boring, so they left in the hedges the openings into which the roses had landed. Looks just fabulous!
    The back side of the site from the side of the ravine was decided to be closed tightly so that other dogs would not run past. Chose for this purpose prickly bushes - hawthorn and barberry. And they planted a willow between them. As they grew, the branches were intertwined. As a result, we really have an impenetrable fence - not only a dog, but a person - an uninvited guest - will not make it. We realized that the green hedge is the best protection: the fence is always narrow, you can climb through it, and try to break through the tall solid bush!
