rose floribunda
It's mid-May. The long-awaited spring is here. The beginning of May was cold +5 C (40F), dark clouds with snow and hail. Then it became warmer, the leaves on roses began to grow, the sun appeared every day, the grass turned green again.

What makes me happy this spring? The greenhouse. I sowed parsley, coriander, celery, lettuce, everything grew, despite the first cold May days, because the greenhouse is warming up in the sun. Petunia and begonia seedlings, decorative bush cuttings are also there.

Nature finally came to it sense. The night/day temperature is +10 C/ +20 C (50/68 F) leaves began fast growing on gooseberry and currant bushes, lilac, elderberry, lonicera, dogwood and physocarpus.

Daffodils and scillas bloom beautifully, hyacinths and tulips started opening due to warm days. I hope to see all my tulips in full bloom soon.

I was worried about rhododendrons, their wintering. Now they are fine, evergreens and azaleas have many flower buds.

What is the weather in your place? How are your plants in May?
Wonderful series of images, Nadezda, enough to make everyone believe that spring has finally arrived. Here too, after a very cool start to May the weather is slowly improving and I think the next week or so should be in the high teens.
ReplyDeleteI do believe too David. I planted vegetables and apple trees started to blossom. They need warmth.
DeleteThere are many birds in my garden and one couple has made a nest on the tuja. Wonderful!
Hello dear Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteYour spring garden is so lovely! The plum trees are so beautiful. We had the same cold weather here in beginning of May. It's still not warm in the night, but it will be better soon I hope. My plants are growing well in the greenhouse, but they will stay there for a while. This night it was only 4 degrees Celcius, so they have it better in the greenhouse. I have a little electric oven and it's 12 degrees there in the night. That's much better :)
Hugs!
Wow, Marit! You heat the greenhouse, it is certainly better for plants. Unfortunately, I do not have an oven, but I have to set it due to unpredictable weather.
DeleteGood morning dear Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how happy you are now that springtemperatures arrived and your garden is bringing you
springflowers and beautiful plumblossoms!! Enjoy it!
Have a wonderful day
Rosehugs Marijke
Yes, Marijke, I am. The trees in bloom, as a white cloud glad me.
DeleteHugs!
Hey Nadezda, what a joy it is to have a greenhouse full of greens and garden filled with radiant blooms! Wonderful spring!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is Tistou. Finally nature awoke and is in bloom. I do love this season.
DeleteWonderful, so much beauty around. Love your plum tree - the pure white blossoms are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHere it's unusualy cold for this month and rain rain rain ...
but anyway the garden works out nice.
Happy days and thank you so much for your lovely visit
Elisabeth
What a weather in your place Elizabeth! I wish rain stops and sun appears.
DeleteHappy sunny days to you!
Hi Nadezda! So beautiful garden. I haven't planted anything yet. There has been frost at night. Greetings
ReplyDeleteWinter doesn't want to leave your place, Ann. I love your videos of birds and ants in the forest. Soon warmth comes to you, sure!
DeleteHello Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images of your garden. I love all your plants.
Hugs!
Thanks, Tania!
DeletePor aquí el jardín esta más adelantado, el cerezo ya tiene cerezas. Hace mucho calor, para este tiempo y los rosales están sufriendo. Tus flores están preciosas. Besos.
ReplyDeletePor supuesto, tu jardín está por delante, Teresa. El mes de mayo fue frío aqui y nada creció rápidamente. Espero que mi ciruela madure en julio.
DeleteEsta primavera nos está trayendo mucho calor Nadezda algunos cerezos tienen ya cerezas y hay flosre por todos sitios. Ahora dicen que descenderan de nuevo las temperaturas. Esperemos que no caiga una helada.
ReplyDeletePreciosas fotos!!
Sembramos tomates y pimientos de varias clases, cebollas, calabacin y algunas fresas.
Te deseo un buen jueves.
Un abrazo
Laura, sembraste tantas verduras. Hoy sembré calabacines por segunda vez, porque otros no crecen debido a la baja temperatura. Espero que no tengas una temperatura fría en mayo. Las cerezas son impresionantes.
DeleteHi Nadezda, your garden is becoming quite lively. Isn't amazing how Roses don't need much encouragement from the sun to send out some leaves. I can't wait until my little baby plum tree blooms. It is only 3'tall. I hope it is as pretty as your plum tree. There is a lot blooming in my garden. It is warming up fast now. The Irises are about to go over. Enjoy these warmer days. Happy spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's warming up in your garden, Lisa. I think your plum tree needs pruning to it will bloom well. I prune my plum trees every autumn.
DeleteI can imagine your lovely irises!
Hello Nadezda !
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to visit your beautiful garden! I love all your plants and flowers and I admire flowers on the header of the blog!
Greetings
Glad you liked my new header, Ela.
DeleteThank you!
I guess your season is about a month later than ours. The daffodils are long gone here.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Sue.
DeleteYou have a lovely garden. Spring is really a spectacular season.
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are beautiful but especially liked the last photos with the apple trees in bloom.
Hugs

The trees in bloom are amazing thing, Maria.
DeleteHi Nadezda – It is lovely to look at your beautiful plants, flowers and herbs. Here in Georgia it is already very warm – around 30 C or more. I have done nothing outside as my time is spent trying to clear out the house. Unfortunately ivy has taken roots all over the back yard. I will have to hire someone to get rid of it. The only plant I had in Nashville was a hyacinth I purchased in a pot at the store and it is past its blooming season now. I did have one daffodil somehow that came out in the front yard two months ago. I miss looking outside and seeing pretty flowers, but at least the ivy makes everything look very green.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear Vagabonde, the ivy is dangerous plant, it can kill other plants in the garden. It's pity you have no garden in Nashville, but it needs much work, so you should better relax.
DeleteKisses!
Hello Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is absolutely adorable. Here in Poland, May is very rainy, but the flowers in the garden have blossomed beautifully. I invite you to visit my blog where you will see pictures of a colorful May garden.
Hugs, Anita.
Anita, I liked your garden and your rhododendrons.
DeleteThanks for your kind comment and stopping by my blog!
Spring must be worth waiting for when you have such long cold winters. The beginning of SPring is one of my favourite times of year although May is also a top month. I love June for the roses but I have a rambling rose which is now the most beautiful sight. It does flower throughout the year, but never as much as it flowers at the start ...
ReplyDeleteJenny, I can imagine how wonderful is your rambler. You're lucky it flowers all year, mine blooms in June.
DeleteDear Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteI can feel your happy mood as the beauty of Spring arrives in your country. I feel the same way when bulbs and new buds appear here.
I have been away and will be posting about my holiday soon. At present I have a cold and recovering from jet lag. Look forward to catching up with your posts.
Happy days to you and your family
Betty
Dear Betty, I see, relax after a long flight. Sure your story on your trip is very interesting as your photos.
DeleteCan't wait to read!
It is only just warming up but most of the spring flowers you show are already finished in my garden. Lots of empty spaces still because I did almost no gardening last year and I have many tall weeds. It’s hard work but I hope to make some order soon. I love being out in the garden again, there is nothing better to lift a sad spirit. Today I put my geraniums out. Dahlias will come soon.
ReplyDeleteGardening is a hard work, especially weeding, Friko. I agree. Nature always lift mood, even in autumn. I grow perennial ground cover plants that hide the empty spots. Sure you know Ajuga, Lysimachia, Phlox subulata and others.
DeleteHugs!
Such beautiful colours in all of your flowers, lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan!
