A Festive Summer Day in the Garden

Image
  The dacha weekend was festive and summery. The weather was hot. It seemed like every day was like this. Although this summer was warmer than last season. This summer, there were still some cool days. And it rained often. And I was in the rain, too. But this summer was definitely warmer than last.

Summer continues, and half of it is already gone.

  Summer continues. Half of it is already gone. Summer has crossed the equator. I try to be at the countryside every weekend. It seemed like I'd already settled in. A house, a table, a computer. Tea. A garden. But there's so much to do that it's like a new universe every year. Everything happens differently. Last year, I planted my own garden for the first time. And this year, I've expanded it. And I've added variety to the plants.

A garden and a computer—it's my perfect weekend!

Image
  I arrived at the countryside by train. It was raining. By the time I got to the train, it hadn't rained yet. It felt like it had rained yesterday. It rained all night. I walked to the train right through the crisp city after the rain the night before. And by the time the train was moving, it rained the whole way. I listened to music on the way and watched the water drip down the window.

Countryside – planting again

Image
  Another day off. That means I'm taking the train to the countryside. A two-hour drive. Grass and greenery outside the window. Beautiful summer. The greenest summer ever. My last week of June at the countryside. I arrived at the countryside. Quickly ate some canned chicken soup. And then went planting. Planting flowers. Turns out there were still plenty of them.

More countryside days!

  To the countryside on the weekend. It's a good tradition. The summer is wonderful. Warm. Quite hot. Sunny. The sky is bright. Almost cloudless. The clouds draw beautiful patterns in the sky. What rain? Heat. And countryside time. Time to relax. A long vacation on the weekend. Once a week. Forest-themed. In the fields.

A day off in the garden, hot sun, planted lots of flowers, and then it rained.

  A day off. Back to the countryside. There are so many wonderful summer things to do there. I'm planting a garden. Lots of plants this time. I'm actually really tired. And it was hot. Very hot and strong sun. In a field, basically. Nothing to block the direct sun. And I'm planting plants. All kinds. Lots of them.

The Countryside – My Wonderland

Image
  Second day at the dacha. Luckily, May turned out to be very warm. And I'm already planting everything in the Countryside plot. The weather is great. A beautiful summer day. Real summer. And I'm planting flowers. This time I planted everything quickly. Literally in two hours. And a little tired. But fatigue is normal. For a gardener. This year, I started growing plants indoors back in March. And some are even already blooming. These are marigolds.

Countryside and Garden – the first day of May 9th, the weather cooperated!

Image
  Countryside and Garden. The time has come, May 9th, a holiday. The weather is fine. Yes, this time there were no frosts in May. And it was quite warm that day. I went for the first time this year. To start a new season. Countryside season 2026. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I prepared plants and flowers. Some of the flowers were taken to the countryside by car. I planted them. And that's only part of it. I'll be taking flowers to the countryside like this. To plant them in the garden.

About my garden, planting at home

Image
  I'm continuing to work on the garden. Or rather, I'm planting everything indoors for now. Indoors. So that at the end of May I can take everything to the garden. And plant it there. This year I'm making a big garden. The biggest one yet. And I'm still working on it. I've temporarily stopped planting new seeds. I ran out of space. That's a problem. And I don't transplant what's already grown from small containers into larger ones. For the same reason.

The marigolds are already blooming!

Image
  I'm already getting ready for the new gardening season. I've planted a lot of different things. It's already April. And soon it will be May. And just think, at the end of May, I'll be going to plant all this stuff. I haven't mastered everything in this process yet. And there's something to be amazed about. Marigolds! They've started blooming! Damn, ahead of time. Not all of them, just some. 1, 2. Literally a few!

Gardening is fun!

Image
  It's already April. The second month of spring. And I'm already getting ready for the new garden. That is, I'm planting. I already have a lot growing. Growing a garden isn't that simple. You just throw it in the ground and let it grow. The truth is, something will grow anyway. But not much. But I'm doing it smart. It's also a complex process. Multi-layered.

The penultimate day of the season, the 13th, Saturday

Image
  My penultimate day of the 2025 dacha season. The 13th. Saturday. A bright and sunny day. Summer. Dacha. And September. September. And summer. Sunny time. I couldn't dream of more. Sunny September. So warm. My garden. At the dacha.

Last day at the countryside, 2025. Sunshine and memories. And I'm getting ready for the countryside again.

Image
  It's already spring. I remember last year's countryside season. This grass. It's hard to say where it's from. It's from September 14, 2025. My last day of the countryside season. It was, as always, a day off. And I was saying goodbye to the countryside until next year. Grass and sunshine. You can't tell from the photo whether it's cold or warm. Everything is green.

My sunny spot in the garden

Image
  This summer I had a garden. And I'm so happy about it. This is what I was aiming for. To grow a garden. I'm talking about the summer of 2025. Now I can happily write about my garden. Not about how I grew the plants. And I did that carefully. Not knowing everything how to do it. But just to write about my summer garden.

Remembering the garden and summer

Image
  A new year has already begun. It's 2026. And I continue to remember my dacha days. On weekends, I'll go to the dacha. I've grown a whole garden there. I did a lot of things in the summer of 2025. I sat in the little house at my computer, a white Acer Aspire V13. I did something on it. Then I ran out into the garden a lot. I worked on the garden. I came back to the little house. I drank tea.

My Joyful Garden

Image
  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!

What the Summer of 2025 Was Like – A Summer Resident's Memories 2025

  The dacha. It's such a wonderful place. It's like a summer garden. It has summer weather. The sun shines there. The grass grows there. And it's so wonderful to spend a weekend there. A visit to the dacha. A longing for summer and sunshine. And there are flowers and grass. And May tea. My favorite. Everything summery. And so bright and beautiful.

Warm autumn in garden – end of season

Image
  Countryside. Summer. It seems, that summer will be endless. And, I want this so much. To have every weekend like a holiday, all summer long. Every weekend to the countryside. To have a free time. To run with shorts along the grass. To do garden time. And other joyful things. To run with bicycle. And so, this is last day in this countryside season. It is now. 13 of September. 14 of September. Last weekends at the countryside for this 2025 year.

In a little house my room and computer

  Countryside house. Garden.  And summer. 14 June 2025 these photos. Summer only begins. So, this way it is inside everything in the house. In a little room. Light. Sunlight goes through room. By the way, summer 2025, it was cold. There were lots of rains. Some places there were enough of days like autumn. And little cold. And summer days there were also some normal amount. Well not a super hot. But everything it was. Summer was like a summer.

Last weekend of summer – sunny day

Image
  Last weekend of summer. How does it sound. So, I am at the garden. Garden and countryside. Sun. Last weekend of summer. For my surprise, it was very warm weather. Plus 28 degrees. And so hot! For all the summer it was not like this all the time. This summer was more cold. But, anyway, it is summer. And warm. And, this day, it is so hot. And garden. Such a beautiful place!
