Do-it-yourself flower garden in pots and the best potted perennials
OWN POTS GARDEN
Well, I've read a lot of newfangled magazines, and now I also wanted to turn my site into a luxurious flower garden!
I didn’t begin to aim at the alpine slides - I didn’t have enough knowledge and strength. 'But I liked the idea to revive the site with flowers in pots.
Firstly, it is not difficult, and secondly, it turns out something like a mobile flower garden.
You can put flowers near the entrance to the house, or you can put flowers near the shop where I rest, or you can revive a boring corner, disguise an ugly look. There is no need to dig soil in pots, weeding is minimal. One trouble - flowers in pots need to be watered regularly, otherwise they have nowhere to take water.
You can plant any plants in pots, I get down to business in the spring to cheer up after a dreary winter.
I plant bulbs, primroses, violets, saffron in standard pots. And how beautiful pansies are in wide low flowerpots. To begin with, I would advise planting annuals, and as you gain experience, you can already make up compositions in pots.
I put my flowers under beautiful bushes (they haven’t turned green in all their beauty), and immediately this corner of the dacha becomes cozy, and how the mood rises!
I will also give advice: to water less often, put the vessels in a calm place, light, but not hot.
In a sunny patio, place the vessels in a group to make it easier to water, mulch with pebbles or expanded clay.

If you are a beginner, do not plant elaborate and pompous plants in pots. Start growing with the most unpretentious ones, such as poppies, marigolds, marigolds, perennial daisies, lupins. Working in the garden should delight you, bring pleasure, improve your mood, and therefore your health.
HOW TO CHOOSE A FLOWER POT
A plant in its "home" should be spacious, warm, comfortable, as well as a person in his own.
Vessels:
Terracotta
Ideal for cold-sensitive plants with good drainage.
Cons - The pots are quite heavy and this material is quite sensitive to watering.
Plastic
Very convenient for the busy gardener, lightweight, better than clay. Much stronger than ceramics and more frost-resistant. They can stand on the street for almost a whole year. A wide variety of shapes and colors, available in clay-like options.
Concrete
A wide assortment of all kinds of shapes: in the form of flowerpots, boxes and vases. Heavy, frost-resistant, durable. Good for permanent planting.
Minus: if not lined with a coating from the inside - not suitable for plants that love acidic soil.
Wooden
The tree is always out of competition. And if the pot is well made, then it is very beautiful. Choose pots made from hardwood - they do not need to be regularly treated with a preservative.
Minus: rather heavy. But there are casters.
Ideal for plants with massive tops.
Fake diamond
The material consists of cemented stone chips. Heavy, durable, frost-resistant. Good for permanent planting.
RњRμS,R ° F "P" Roes ‡ RμSЃRєRёRμ
Buckets, basins, boxes. Galvanized steel watering cans are a new trend in fashion. They are non-staining and have a modern look. They usually have no drain holes. Therefore, feel free to put the pot inside - it compensates for the poor thermal insulation of the metal.

It is usually difficult to remember the names of plants, which, for example, prefer sunny locations. But memorizing complex color names is not at all necessary. Try to remember their signs, it's much easier. For example, all drought-resistant plants usually have narrow leaves (carnation, flax, yucca, daylilies). They have gray, pubescent leaves (boletus bindweed, cmin). And, finally, many have fleshy leaves with a waxy bloom (stonecrop, rejuvenated). Remembering these simple rules, you can safely go to the flower market, and our tips will not let you down.

To make the flower garden happy is not necessary:
- loosen the soil without need,
- too actively fight weeds in the spring, when the earth has not yet woken up;
- plant short-lived plants: after a few years they will still have to be changed;
- feed plants with fertilizers: they become more susceptible to damage;
- plant self-seeding forms near the paths, they will make this area untidy.

My dream is to wake up in the morning, open the window and breathe in the scent of my favorite flowers. In the meantime, from my window, a not too joyful view opens up of the lopsided neighbor's barn. Tell me how to arrange a fragrant flower garden right behind the glass?

Of course, the most suitable place for such a flower garden is a balcony, but if it is not there, then we will use the wall of your house and arrange a hanging flower bed right under the window.
If the windows face south, the choice of plants is not so great. The abundance of sunlight is loved by nasturtium, gypsophila, alyssum. If the windows face other cardinal points, there is much more choice. Balsam is excellent for growing in shaded hanging gardens. It blooms profusely and uninterruptedly all summer long with large flowers that do not fade for a long time. This plant not only feels great in shade and partial shade, but is also resistant to wind and rain.
Pelargoniums, tuberous begonias, and scented tobacco are also suitable. You can send indoor dwellers there for summer vacations: ivy, chlorufigum, fern, tsitsus.
If the windows are small, do not frame them with climbing plants, they will seem even narrower. Better to make the hanging box slightly wider than the window and hang it below the level of the windowsill.
