I often see beautiful pots of brightly colored flowers appearing outside my windows or on my balconies as summer approaches. After asking around among my friends who have summer cottages, I discovered that this flower is called petunia and blooms all summer long. I'm really excited about growing some of these flowers on my balcony, too. 
Tulips are my favorite spring flowers. I can't even imagine a real spring without red and yellow tulips. But lately, they've been freezing to death at our dachas every winter. Even the old, time-tested varieties have almost disappeared; none of our neighbors have any tulips left. Winters... 
I planted gladioli differently this spring. I've always planted them in rows, but this time I planted tubers of the same or similar colors in separate holes. I ended up with five holes in total. I planted the gladioli in mid-May; the weather was warm, truly summer-like. Some corms... 
A golden coreopsis has blossomed in my garden, and swarms of butterflies and bees fly around it. It shines like the sun, delighting both the soul and the eye, preserving its golden attire until the frost sets in! Good afternoon! I'd like to tell you about coreopsis. I used to have flowers like these growing at my old dacha... 
A liatris has blossomed in my garden. It sparkles brightly like a candle. It's so beautiful and fragrant. I hope it doesn't burn the bees in the heat of the moment. They swarm over it, drinking nectar and buzzing merrily. And the star shines in the summer heat, Warm rains rustling above it! I want to tell you... 
It's mid-June. It's sunny and hot here in Krasnoyarsk. Poplar fluff flutters across the city streets, like a thin layer of fluffy snow covering the sidewalks. And at the dacha, white butterflies are flying around. There are so many of them, flying around the garden and vegetable patch, clinging to the flower bushes, the blooming strawberries, and the raspberries. It's fun... 
It's finally time to get to work on the gladiolus bulbs. I stored them in the refrigerator in a cardboard box over the winter. On April 20th, I took them out, peeled off the outer skin, and carefully examined each bulb. The gladioli had survived the winter well; the outer skin was dry, clean, and free of mold. Almost all the bulbs were firm, some already sprouting... 
Hello to everyone reading this. The other day, I went to the garden center to buy some new gladioli. We have a variety of gladioli growing at our dacha: pink, burgundy, orange, yellow, red, purple. Last spring, I bought some white ones. The wide variety of packages with bright pictures made me... 
Summer flew by so quickly. September is almost over. It's painted the trees and shrubs with incredibly vibrant colors. There haven't been any frosts yet, the days are warm, but the nights are chilly. My flowers have wilted from the constant rain and dampness. I dream of radically changing my flower beds in the spring, planting new perennials... 
The bluebell is blooming again. The bees are collecting honey, shaking the air with their hum, and carrying it to their hives. And when it rains, the bluebell, like an umbrella, opens its dome—sheltering the bees. What easy-to-grow perennials can be planted in a flowerbed so they don't freeze, require minimal care, and...
