My Joyful Garden

The year is drawing to a close. And winter is here. And I'm thinking about my garden. The one I managed to grow. For the first time in 2025, I managed to grow a garden. A full-fledged garden in front of the house. So to speak, the main sunny achievement of 2025. And the garden is excellent. Asters, lupines, Vesyolye Rebyata, dahlias, marigolds. Those are the flowers. There were also some edible things growing. Various lettuces, for example. And radishes. Everything grew too. Moreover, the lettuce even grows quickly. You could harvest such a crop several times over the summer!

So, what did I have this year? Lupines. They're perennials and grow well. These plants practically grow on their own. They come in several colors. They say red is a rare color. I don't remember. That's from my childhood memories of dachas. When my grandmother had a garden. And now it's my garden. Mine. Blue and pinkish are still the most common colors. Lupine grows here and there on its own in our garden plot. I remember my grandmother planting it. Just to have some flowers. Simple ones. It grows well. And quite large. I think that's it.

And I added a few more lupine flowers. I planted them in a row in front of the house. In a line. Of my plants so far, there were only big green bushes. Without flowers. Just a green bush. Large. This has grown! And what color – I don't know yet. I'll see next year.

Then, these are marigolds. In the center of my garden. Two very large flowers. Yellow. They are large. And huge. In the center. A very large flower. As yellow as the sun. Consistently yellow. And large. And the plant itself is also large. In theory, this is also a good flower, an annual one. But it grows well. That means it's easy to grow.

Then, these are asters. Asters, probably from the word aster. A star. A star in the sky. Or a pop star. I love music. I planted a lot of them, a whole line, planted them on the side. And a vertical line. Lots of them. Different colors. And they've grown well. Lots of plants. Very beautiful. The most beautiful and abundant flower corner. That's where it's at. Asters. They say you can't plant them in one place. Once every five years. Then change the location. So the plants don't get sick. That's what it says on the package.

They need to be tied up. The buds are very large, using a stick or something. And sometimes the stems don't even hold them up. They fall over or sag. They can sometimes trail along the ground. I saw that for the first time, too. But these are great, beautiful flowers. So cosmic. My cosmic magic.

A garden is a beautiful place. It's nice to have a garden. Lots of flowers, all beautiful. And you look at all the different flowers. You're amazed at how wonderful the world we live in is.

And then there's the Zinnia Sprites. Small flowers. At first, they almost look like grass. Only when the flower blooms can you see that they are flowers. But I really like Sprite. They are small in size. They are also small in height. On my side. Opposite the Aster.

And on the other side, there are vertical Sprites. They have their own small flowerbed there. Across the path. They also grew well.

I chose the simpler flowers. It seems like everything has grown. First experience. I planted them from seedlings. In March. I started planting seedlings in mid-March in several stages.

And in a horizontal line. On the other side. This is Dahlia. Vesyolye Rebyata. They grow great. A tall plant. Opposite the corn. They grow well. The flowers themselves are beautiful. A wide variety of colors. They grow simply superbly. There is simply nothing to complain about. Perfect for the dacha. These are Vesyolye Rebyata. I remember my grandmother planted a lot of them too. You can plant a lot. And they grow very well. They have a straight stem. And a large bud. The coloring is very beautiful.

My mother told me these are "Vesyolye Rebyata" (Jolly Fellows). Then I remembered. My grandmother used to plant them too. And I said I'd plant more of them.

And the rest of my garden is something you can try to eat. As the saying goes, if a pear hangs, you can't eat it. But there were no pears. But the corn is growing. Yes, the corn is growing. In fact, the corn itself has even grown. An ear. It's growing well. Lots of plants have grown. In the corner, by the entrance. You see that tall grass – that's corn.

And then there's the radish. It grew quickly. I ate it. It was delicious. So full of flavor. It turned out great. I grew the radish myself. Then there's lettuce along the side, in a horizontal line in the corner. And the radish is in the center. Opposite there are marigolds. Lettuce grows really well. You could probably harvest it many times over the summer. It tastes so sour, too.

So you can see there's plenty to do in the summer. And watch the garden grow. What a beautiful place! First of all, these are flower
