How to decorate a flower bed in a summer residence

A flower bed is a real decoration of any country site. Its design is a complex, multi-step process. After all, your task is not only to achieve a harmonious combination of shades of flowers, but also in the correct selection of them in accordance with the flowering time.

With what does the process of decorating the flower bed begin? Every owner of a summer cottage should arm himself with paper and pencils to make a preliminary picture of the desired result. Divide the flower garden into sectors and mark the plant species with which you plan to decorate it. Do not forget that high grades are always planted in the center of the flowerbed, while the edges are decorated with stunted plants.

Next, paint each zone with the shade of the pencil, which corresponds to the tone of the colors you select when blooming. This will allow you to check the selected shades for compatibility. Interesting ideas for color design can be thought up both independently and find ready-made options on the Internet. Also the flowerbed can be supplemented with various small architectural forms.

After that, you should decide what flowers you can grow on your own in seedlings, and which ones are best purchased in a specialized store. Before embarking on the design of the flower bed by planting seedlings in the soil, it is necessary to thoroughly work the soil. Dug it, so that it is saturated with oxygen, clean from the weeds. Using a cord acting as a delimiter, mark on the flowerbed the scheme, which was carefully thought through on paper. If after landing in the ground with the necessary distance you still have samples of seedlings, move them to the school. In the future, they can become a replacement for instances that have not caught on. It is desirable to slightly pritenit seedlings, as the tender stems and sprouts are adversely affected by direct sunlight.

By the way, near the flower bed you can place small benches on which it will be comfortable to rest on a cool summer evening. You can also think over the beautification of various areas near the flowerbed. For example, decorate it with stone treasure, and nearby lay paving tiles narrow winding paths.

While caring for the flowerbed, do not forget to water it abundantly, as drying will adversely affect the growth phase of plants. On especially hot days evening watering is preferable. Also, do not forget to remove weeds in a timely manner, "drowning out" the shoots.
