Preparing For Warm Days

It's spring and nature dictates its own rules - I am preparing flowers and vegetable seedlings for planting in the garden and in the greenhouse. Plants that had overwintered in the city began to bloom. They will be transferred to the garden when the night frosts pass at the end of April. They are Fuchsia, Dianthus, Begonia semperflorens, Impatiens walleriana.

 







As usual, I sow vegetables and annual flowers. For sowing, I use disposable plastic cups and cut milk bags. Veggies are eggplant, tomatoes and peppers. Seeds grown by myself.

 


 


One eggplant is starting to bloom! As you can see, the foliage and roots are fine.


 

Annual flowers were sown in March and now they are growing well. These are Nasturtium, Erodium and Impatiens balsamina.

 





I hope that spring will give us joy and peaceful days will come.

    1. Lucja, this spring, seedlings grow well on the windowsill, because there is a lot of sun.

  15. Hola, Nadezda.

    Yo que soy aficionado a las plantas y hortalizas, la semana pasada empecé a sembrar lo mismo que tu, tomates, pimientos, berenjenas y calabacines y espero que este año sea mejor que el anterior, donde tuvimos temperaturas superiores a 45º C. que acabó en Junio con casi toda la cosecha.
    Este problema de clima tan tórrido, hace que la mayoría de las plantas que sembramos en primavera sean casi todas autóctonas, ya que son las que aguantan mejor las altas temperaturas. Este año he sembrado geranios, begonias, gitanillas, claveles y rosas.
    Tienes unas plantas preciosas y muy bien cuidadas, así que ya verás como este año recoges buenos frutos y vas a disfrutar del color y del aroma de tus flores.
    Un abrazo.
