Glorious summertime

It is actually spring, but we're having summertime here in Hungary. Thirty degrees Celsius. Perfection! I'm sure it'll be 15-20 degrees again in no time but right now I am enjoying my days off in the garden. Well, I'm enjoying it for a couple of hours then I take cover in the coolness of my room. 

Last year I have started a garden project only with a very few plants: this year I want to take it further and grow vegetables too, not only flowers. So, I have a small patio full of tomato and pepper seedlings and I have seeded some other veggies too. Alhtough the garden is quite big, it hasn't been cultivated for a good 10 years. Consequently, grass and weeds are growing everywhere. Some trees and plants do survive, but to dig up the whole garden is out of the question (would take weeks with a spade) and I'd have to supply a new layer of soil. Oh, have I mentioned I have pets as well? The cats and the dog love roaming around and dig here and there. So, it's simply easier to plant everything in containers. I'm planning to document the success (and failures) here to make it easier to keep track of everything. 

Wisteria

The Wisteria is blooming nicely, not taking care of it actually did good to this plant. Next autumn I'll have to prune it and I need to find support for it as it is growing alongside our neighbor's house on the ground.

 One of my favorites is the Columbine. It has chosen an impossible place to germinate: it's growing close to our house from a creek in the concrete. I noticed it three years ago when it was booming. Last year I collected a lot of seed from it and planted them, they've grown into nice bushes. It seems this year they won't have any flowers.
