The air is already warm. Last week the temperature was +15. I haven't been to the garden yet because of my sore leg, but I was shown photos, and I was inspired by the long-awaited changes.
The soil has not yet warmed up, but in some places the grass is already starting to turn green and the first spring flowers, crocuses and snowdrops are appearing.
There is snow on the northern side of the garden. Spring is still cool and windy.
Here (below) is what the lawn in front of the summer cottage looked like at the end of March.But the snow quickly melted at the beginning of April.
Every spring you want to see these brave flowers appearing right from under the snow.
It is amazing that the bees woke up so early in the spring and are already collecting nectar from crocuses.
I have already prepared disposable cups for flower and vegetable seedlings at home. A little soil for seedlings was left over from last year and I also received some by order. I hope it will be enough for 30 disposable cups.
It is difficult to predict the weather in May, when the plants should be actively growing. There are many perennial flowers in the flowerbeds that bloom early in April and in May: tulips, crocuses, daffodils, muscari. I think they will perfectly decorate the modest nature of spring.
Despite the fact that no one has lived in the cottage since October, there is always a lot of work in the house. Hang fresh curtains, air out the carpets, wipe the dust in the rooms, clean the kitchen, etc.
I would like my leg to quickly reach the state when I can walk and climb the stairs. For me, this is very important now.
All the best to everyone.
Liebe Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteIhr hattet im März ja noch reichlich Schnee, bei uns war es schon recht mild und der Frühling ist da. Es ist wunderschön draußen, allerdings fehlt bei uns der Regen.
Deine Krokusse und die Märzenbecher schauen wunderschön aus, die weißen Blütenglocken mag ich sehr gerne.
Ich wünsche Dir weiterhin gute Besserung und viel Geduld und Kraft für Dein Bein, wenn es auch bei Euch wärmer wird, wird es zur Heilung beitragen und die Schmerzen werden besser werden. Ich fühle mit Dir ...
Herzliche Grüße
aus dem Taunus

Dear Anke, Spring is coming, but winter is not leaving:) Today we had a lot of snow. I am sure the sun will melt it soon. Thank you for your good wishes.
DeleteKauniisti kukkivat siellä jo krookukset ja lumikellot.
ReplyDeletePikaista paranemista jalallesi.
Thank you Anemone for your comment.
DeleteThose splashes of colour are very welcome, Nadezda. Here spring keeps teasing us a little, but overall the weather has been cold and, other than for a few crocuses, flowers have been slow to bloom. Overnight we had snow again, not a huge amount but the ground is white and the branches are laden. I am ready for a break in the weather! Best wishes - David
ReplyDeleteWe've had the same weather, David. It's snowing today. The poor flowers! They'll have to bloom again.
DeleteCuídate mucho . Espero que estés mejor de la pierna. Lindas flores. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias J.P, por tus buenas palabras. Un beso.
DeleteHi Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteYour springflowers are very beautiful. The snow has almost melted here. It's so nice to see all the flowers in the garden.
It's a pleasure I agree, Marit. You have many vernal plants in your garden now.
DeleteThe Märzenbecher and crocuses are so beautiful in your garden, and I hope the snow disappears soon, and above all, that your leg steadily improves so you can soon manage the stairs.
ReplyDeleteI looked up lemon soup online – great – I'll make it too... the translation error revealed it – because I drank "hot lemon" – that's lemon with hot water and sugar – and ate potato soup... it was delicious. Garnished with green oil.
I've never seen that before either... I made it myself – chopped up lots of chives and drizzle them with sunflower oil (sunflower oil can be heated to 60 degrees Celsius). I didn't heat it... let it stand for three days... and then we'll see :-)))
Well, if your chives grow in the your garden, maybe. I bought the chives at the market... I was lucky because they had some.
Best wishes and all the best to you. Viola
Thank you for explaining to me about "lemon soup" :0) Of course, it was a hot drink with lemon, which I also like. What is potato soup? Is it cooked with vegetables without meat?
DeleteGreen onions grow in boxes on my kitchen windowsill, I use them often.
This potato soup is cooked with vegetables, vegetable broth, and potatoes, then pureed—no meat. Many people eat it with Vienna sausages, though—I prefer it without them.
DeleteI'm curious to see how my green oil turns out :-))) and I have sourdough bread in the oven—I bake it with home-ground rye grains that I buy from the farmer.
Happy evening to you and greetings to you.
Viola, I see that you are a master of cook, since you know so many recipes of delicious food.
DeleteSpring has come to your garden. Beautiful spring flowers and your photos.
ReplyDeleteHugs and greetings.
Thank you Lucja. Hope you are well now.
DeleteNadezda,
ReplyDeleteI believe that maintaining a cottage is a lot of work, but it must be a joy to see the seasons change there, from the charm of the snow to the colors and beauty of nature in spring.
All the pictures are so beautiful.
The capture of the bee in the crocus flowers is fantastic.
My friend, a speedy recovery so you can do everything you want.
Hugs and all the best
Dear Maria, you are right, the cottage needs a lot of care, from painting after many years to closing the windows to protect against thieves. I am glad you liked the photos. I am getting better and will soon be able to walk without assistance.
DeleteBoa tarde de domingo e bom início de semana minha querida amiga Nadezda. Nós do Rio de Janeiro, 15° já morremos quase frio. Já nascemos, acostumados com 30 a 45 graus. Nosso outono está diferente. No ano passado, nem tivemos.
ReplyDeleteIt's autumn in your place, Luiz. I can understand that you're used to hot temperature.
DeleteLa primavera è proprio arrivata ma la cosa che ti auguro di più è di guarire la gamba in modo da poterti godere le tue giornate!
ReplyDeleteUn caro saluto e un augurio di buona settimana!
Grazie per i tuoi cari auguri, Gabriel. Voglio anche guarire e andare in giardino.
DeleteAround here crocuses and hyacinths are popping up everywhere too. I've even been able to read my book outside.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole, they are nice indeed.
