Positive temperature anomaly

And how can the fact that you mow frequently on your plot help against this? In your situation, there is no point in mowing at all - anyway, you will not justify your workaholism from the neighbors. This is the same disease as other golisms.

The plot is clean, smooth grass, does not look so shabby as overgrown.

On the contrary, weekly neutered grass looks shabby compared to full-fledged. So your occupation is a form of sadomasochism. You may like it, but the grass definitely does not, feel sorry for it

We have been partly cloudy for the last two days, with occasional rain. There was even a thunderstorm today. I have to carry an umbrella with me in the field. Today the apricots were in full bloom, and in the morning they were full of pollinators, until the rain began to fall again. In general, the flowers, apparently still tormented by rain from the buds, turned out to be gnarled, with curved petals and stamens, on many-rotted anthers. But the stigmas seem to be in order everywhere. The irises were finally blooming. But the violets are not particularly pribvilo, I still have so few violets in the spring have never seen. But there are a lot of tulips, and among them there are terry ones! In the mass appeared olenki-fellow T-shirts for the total destruction of all flowers. Most of the irises have not had time to bloom, but have already been turned into rags by them. I suspect that it is thanks to these beetles that I have never seen the fruit of this plant firsthand in my life. I have never seen olenok in the photos of Pan Stepovoi, but I have seen the fruits of the dwarf iris many times.

The poor Messors still can't get married. As soon as the workers start to drive the winged birds out of the nest, a sharp deterioration in the weather immediately drives them back. It's been such a mess for a week now.

Anguloptera have appeared, peacock eyes and admirals are present in the usual amount. In general, there are no polychrome flowers, not at all

I've seen a male cuckoo, although I can't hear the cuckoo yet. It remains to wait for the nightingale, swift, oriole and two types of warblers-then there will be a full summer set of birds. This year there are a lot of warblers-tenkovok, see in the previous one especially successfully multiplied. Another clear surge in the number of coots is observed: two pairs settled in micro-ponds where they were never born. I saw a gray crow chasing a crow that apparently accidentally flew near the nest. The raven was a master of dodging, but the crow was much more determined and aggressive. Watching how crows and crows chase birds of prey in isolation, I wondered: who is who, if they meet. Now I know the answer. Somewhat unexpectedly, because the crow is one and a half times smaller.

In the garden, high grass is a shelter for pests, bait for butterflies, shelter for ticks, slugs and snails. I really need a lawn, but I don't have time to set it up. Turf is useful, it keeps the soil in the rain, reduces dirt. I wish I could get some conveyor tires and cover the tracks.

Our weather is always changing. Then -3, then +17. And so on all the time. The rain splashed yesterday. In the morning it was so cold and a strong wind, +3, that I had to pull out a winter jacket with a hat at work.

What kind of grass do you have? what attracts harmful butterflies like cabbage patch or apple moth? Remember: butterflies who want to lay eggs on your cabbage are attracted not by the grass around, but by this cabbage of yours, so you need to mow it first, and if this grass blooms, it is a haven for wasps, horsemen and other biological pest control agents

Fie, rubber tracks are the worst I've ever seen. Our paths in landscaped gardens are laid out of tiles or stone. Well, or pour concrete.

Morning +3-so this is probably the norm for your summer. When I was in Svyatogorsk in August, it was often +5 at night and warmer during the day. Here we have nothing normal: according to the forecast, it is obvious that April 1 will remain the warmest day in two months, and it will not exceed 20 until May. I have never had such a long spring in my adult life. The steppe and undergrowth had just begun to turn green. Oak forest stands dressed in winter uniforms, and will probably change clothes closer to June

Rich ones, of course, tile the paths.
And we will go to the turf, because conveyor tires are in short supply. Here people are poor, the paths are covered with used linoleum (you can break your head) and old paths/carpets.
But large weeds grow only on the plots of lazy dacha owners.
Some even weed the areas under zero.
Yes, +3 is good, not -3.
We have everything according to plan, there was no snow in mid-April. Some things are already blooming, almost swelling.

Alex's summer continues
The sun is already even a couple of degrees higher than in June at Alex, but the weather is probably even a little worse and colder) Rain every three days at best, and even every other day, cloud cover and wind every day, and ZHPZ every three days. Well, at least there are no frosts, but here we are literally on the verge, of course, we are unlikely to even freeze on the ground, but it is very likely to the north.
So the apricot harvest looks like it will be.

And my kolubnik is something wrong, the bushes are not blooming, they have let out a pair of whiskers, and silence. Grapes are excellent, 15 gronk is formed in the third year, quite normal.
How are radishes and strawberries and eremuruses?

Oh, Alex, congratulations! Your leader has announced a great liberty-the weekend from May 1 to May 10! Are you finally going fishing?

Tile prices vary, and it is fashionable to collect so much at the construction waste dump with a bat that it is enough to lay your entire site. And on any soft in the slush to walk-brrr. Is it not going to push its way to the center of the earth? It is also impossible to walk on the turf without putting a lot of dirt on your shoes. And if so and so you put on, then why even improve? Rubber boots and go. This is usually done in our "wild" vegetable gardens. All sorts of tracks are laid out only by those who live on earth.

Our apricots are in full bloom. And they were full of bees. However, at night they promise rain. In general, rains during the flowering of apricots are even more dangerous than frosts, because they create conditions for the development of moniliosis From frosts only the flowers wither and then not all, but from moniliosis - whole branches! So far, our situation is relatively favorable (Puten, who stole the Southern Ukrainian spring, shared it with us), but according to the forecast, everything should soon become like Pan Sttepov's, and this is Achtung

Dwarf irises are also bloated at last, but! They do not have time to really open, and inside there are already deer sitting and gnawing. In general, they carry a lot of pollen on their hairs and probably pollinate better than any small bees, but what good is it if the beetle then eats the stigma clean!








Tulipov visibly-invisibly. And different colors - from lemon-yellow to carrot-red, Pan Stepovoi does not have such. There were several other half-tall freaks among them, all in the same place, albeit on different clones. There must be something wrong with the soil. I remembered that it was there that a bunch of fluorescent lamps with mercury were smashed the year before last. Although. maybe it's a coincidence. But I specifically investigated similar thickets of tulips in other places and did not find a single terat anywhere else.

After a month of delay, the steppe morel still began to bear fruit. So far, only in a few places, but the mushrooms promise to be large. There were a few budding peonies, while most are missing even in the form of sprouts. Mother-and-stepmother is already in the fluff. The forest type of violets-Viola suavis-blooms just as badly. like the steppe ambigua. Bumblebees began to search for places to build nests. Letsorov still hasn't taken place.

Unfortunately, the president of our company is not Putin. Therefore, there will be no 10 days off.
There are a lot of things to do in the garden, but there are not enough fish, the water will be brown everywhere by May 10 and the water discharge from the reservoir will begin. This is not the time for fishing. I have no desire to go to waste. The fish has long been caught, and where it is, it is infected with helminths.
I have always talked about the wealth of Ukraine. We really have tile paths only in the rich houses where they live.
Conveyor tires under 20 mm thick do not bend. On the turf to walk-clean. It is very dense. Very! In summer, it is generally concrete.
The dump is 20km away from me. It's too far to carry. Yes, and there are no tiles there. No one throws it away. Tiles are all expensive. On acquaintance from 25r per piece. And also a crane-board +5tysr + sand for filling + curbs.
I didn't plant radishes. Later, on the street. Eremuruses are growing. Strawberries are growing.

Which crane-in-board, which curbs? If you take a tile of 50X50cm or more, then you don't need anything, you put it on the ground - and it lies there forever. It can only squint a little, but that's okay, you have to walk on it, and not launch space rockets. We do not lay out glamorous sidewalks "in a flower", but create the patency of dirt. Although if you have a turf holds, then you probably haven't seen real dirt. The worse the soil, the less dirt there is.

It can't be that there is no broken tile in landfills, do they eat it? Or are they all such cool masters that they don't beat any of them? And they don't demolish anything? We have huge piles of this stuff in the beams-an environmental problem. But of course, the best "tile" is mine screeds, but they are really not easy to get, and they are heavy - you need to put at least two together. But for the ages.

At night, as expected, it rained. It's getting colder, and the winter wind is blowing. The sun can be seen between the clouds, but somehow it doesn't warm up much. Frosts are forecast for the next night. In terms of the apricot harvest, the prospects are not very good.

Yesterday I found a large water lover and a plavuntsa tsybister under the streetlight.
Today it is warm, the wind is cold, and it rained a little earlier.

Crane board, to remove the pallet with tiles from the car, curbs, so that the tiles do not disperse from the heavy cart
Eremurusa

Today is wet and gloomy, +8

Ah, you've already started the car
You don't need a crane to remove it from the wheelbarrow. Yes, and you can unload one from the car at a time. Pallets still have some idea. We don't even have this on city construction sites. You have some obvious deformity of thinking, apparently related to living in a well-maintained country: you will definitely create a pond and a path using advanced technologies, probably so as not to be ashamed to show the Japanese delegation. So it is of course yes, dooorogo

Nikita, this wind must have brought our warmth to you, and the freezing cold from the OCH to us. It was a natural winter today. The temperature during the day did not rise above +12, and after sunset it immediately began to fall rapidly. So, perhaps, by the morning the forecast regarding frosts will come true. And all this against the background of a relentless wind. And frost combined with wind is doubly dangerous for plants. Despite all this. the osmias on the balcony were quite flying, both males and females. The new Fabre hives that I recently made are getting settled in. Apparently, they have already realized that there will not be a normal spring in this year, it is pointless to wait for it, and if you want to leave offspring, you must fly no matter what. Bees are still lucky with pubescence, but golim polistam very hard. Most of them still haven't come out of their winter shelters, and I'm afraid they'll die of exhaustion there. Here oyster mushrooms like this cold, they grow.

Why are there so few oyster mushrooms? Obviously not enough for food.
I don't know, maybe you really have so many landfills. Especially with tile waste. We have asphalt mostly. Otsilyas in the center of Perm began to replace it with tiles a few years ago, so there is no scrap metal. Half-meter tiles imagine, we had in the city one track of them in my neighborhood. Last year it was dismantled, and the tiles left for someone from the road workers.

Yes, you are 100 times more civilized than we are, so there is more construction debris. Maybe, of course, it is all buried in special landfills or allowed to be recycled, but I doubt it, however. Most likely, there are unauthorized landfills, but you just don't know the places because you don't go much. If I went to the same forest a couple of times a year as you do, but only to one forest, I wouldn't know them either. And, in theory, yes, it is more difficult to find landfills in the forest than in the steppe.

Oyster mushrooms are not enough, because it is such a ... hmm... species. Their parent last year generally gave only one fruit body, but for half a kilo! Another incident happened to this block of wood - the growing fruit bodies outweighed it and it fell, which caused two more mushrooms to fall off on the other side. I had to eat them in infancy. But for the remaining two, I hope that at least in total they will surpass the parent. And yes, those oyster mushrooms that are sold in the market, cultivated and grown in an unnatural way on the shell of seeds and other garbage, even if they are at least 100 times more fertile, can not be eaten (they taste like rubber), but these can and should be!

Oyster mushrooms are grown on logs. The farmer takes us to sell them.
Builds rock debris suitable for lifting areas usually taken for this purpose. Some write an ad that they will give, others that they will accept, wh soil.
A broken brick, concrete (all that without reinforcement) only for sale. Special plants-crushers bought and sell different fractions for filling roads, the first layer for parking lots, etc.

Such total recycling is very progressive and useful for the ecological situation
Alas, we don't have such a thing - mountains of garbage, including these tiles, are growing in the steppe

And the taste and smell of your oyster mushrooms from logs is there? If yes, then you are lucky, you can not grow it yourself. Instead of oyster mushrooms, we sell exclusively high-tech "rubber products".

The weather was excellent today. Although it is cold, it is almost quiet and completely sunny. The apricots had just bloomed. But, alas, on many flowers there are very few, on some-in general only vegetative buds. And nothing froze, and this was so laid last year. Apparently, the autumn drought affected. There are many pollinators. But Melifer hardly saw any of them, and they probably didn't want to work in this cool weather. So it is mainly lyazioglossums and andrens that are pulling the weight of the struggle for the harvest. In the afternoon, the colletes joined in, but they're mostly thinking of mating, not providing nests. Therefore, the males curl-curl around the tree, and as soon as they notice the female sitting on the flower, they pounce. What kind of pollination can there be? I took a lot of photos of birds, I'll post them later. Although I'll probably post one now:



First of all, such a small bird is quite ordinary, but taking a picture of it is a great success, for example, Pan Stepovoi does not have such a bird in the photos. I'm not sure he's ever seen her before, at least not up close. Because even this is a great success. And I also made a video with the song

Such recycling, because the huge workshops of enterprises have been scrapped, is now a pure joy to Greta. It is more profitable to grind it up and sell it than just throw it away.
And yet, it's strange that you have a lot of tiles. Well, however, you live well, richly, since it is not stolen away. So everything new is bought.
I feel sorry for the money 200r per kilo of oyster mushrooms, did not buy, do not know about the smell. They look like store-bought items. In general, all artificially grown mushrooms are not particularly fragrant.

Well, champignons are normal in the market, unlike oyster mushrooms. But they are also grown on a completely natural substrate for the species, using shit
A common oyster mushroom in nature grows almost exclusively on the wood of poplars and willows, and it is planted on the shells of seeds or grains of cereals.

Well, once 200 rubles is a pity (and we have it, like, 300 already!), then chump in the teeth and go
Speaking of mushrooms, I saw a lot of morel pickers in the fields yesterday. But I don't collect them this year due to the shitty state of the gastrointestinal tract. They are, although delicious and fragrant, but a little poisonous, according to some sources they even supposedly contain hydrazine And I feel good on the ground, I'm not in a hurry to start in the sky. Although others write that the toxicity of morels is a myth (and hydrazine is only in the lines) and even offer to grow them artificially. In general, a dark story. But it's better to eat them healthy.

Ty, what kind of wealth can there be in a used or broken tile? We have no place to rent it for a fee.

So we did not have any tiles, but you have already managed to break them. I remembered that only Victory Park has

Yes, these 50X50 tiles were laid even under Brezhnev, they are already difficult to find in the city, but in landfills it is easy. Now they put small ones in.

In the morning +1
It's on the 5th floor, there was probably frost on the ground

The post was edited INO-04/27/2021 08: 27

Under Brezhnev, they put tiles on you, but they just put them on us)

One day the rain stopped and the sun came out, but after lunch it hid, soon it will rain again, +10

But now on the contrary, rejoice!

But now on the contrary, rejoice!

I don't understand what exactly is the problem? A piece of polyethyledene, on it 4 boards, knocked down to the desired size. This is the form where concrete is poured. If necessary, it can be reinforced with a metal mesh. The number of tiles is dictated by your specific needs.

I wonder when the Vodolyubov beetles ' years in the world will end?
Today it was warm.

I don't understand what exactly is the problem?

Well, this is not a question for me, I still have nowhere to put them. But the problem of Alex is solved in many different ways. If you concreted it yourself, then I don't see the point of making separate tiles, you can fill the entire path with rebar, so that the wheelbarrow does not exactly fall through the center of the ground. But, apparently, he likes polymer coatings better.

But the weather is weird. I saw a false sun the day before yesterday. And yesterday, all day long, clouds were creeping up from the enemy side, but before reaching 45 degrees to the zenith, they melted as if by magic. It wasn't until late afternoon, when the sun was fading, that the dark yoke took its toll and rained down.

We have false suns only in winter in frosts somewhere in January. This year, the effect was very weak.
Rainy, windy, +8.
You can also cast the tile yourself and many other things, but this tile will break. Buy a vibrating installation, special concrete. Meaning?
It's easier to buy a concrete mixer and fill the tracks without any tiles. But such tracks are difficult to move later, so you don't need them at all. There are some things that you can do yourself, and some that you can only buy. I have seen up close homemade tiles made by craftsmen and manufactured in an industrial way. A huge difference.

What kind of vibro ... hmm... installation? How did the ancient Romans manage without it, and nothing broke for 2 millennia? "Concrete mixer" - is that what you call a concrete mixer? And why would it be necessary to move the paths in the garden?

False suns in your area should be available all year round (but, of course, not every day). Just a weak false sun is not easy to notice, if you do not specifically look closely. I first noticed them about two years ago, started looking more closely, and now I see them quite often. And when it competes in brightness with the real one, then a half-blind person will notice, but this does not happen at all in our country. And in winter, as a rule, we do not see any sun, only clouds. And this spring, too. So, today the sun shone in snatches for a couple of hours and again firmly stuck in the fog. And I just found a section of the slope of the beam, all dotted with irises of various colors: from dark purple to pale green, and also two-tone. I took a lot of photos, but without direct sunlight illumination, everything is not the same. And when the weather clears up, I'm afraid most of those irises will already be eaten by olenki.

I also took a picture of cheglok. We have it very rare, and the eye usually comes across only for a moment in flight, Perhaps for the first time I saw it sitting, or rather, even a couple of them.

The apricots have all bloomed. When the sun peeks out, bees visit them. But to my horror, I saw individual flowers on almost every tree with browned and twisted petals - an early sign of moniliosis. The rains did not pass without a trace, the spores of the fungus sprouted through the petals, which means that they will soon infect and kill entire branches

Steppe morels are ripe. This year, compared to last year, there are not many of them, but they are large, some of them are bigger than my fist

The ancient Romans had slaves and their work was not a pity for them: they would redo it if something broke.
A mixer is a machine that delivers ready-made concrete of the desired brand.
Some of course use concrete mixers, but more often for brickwork, foundations and everything else that can be poured at one time, pour ready-made concrete from a mixer.
I haven't seen any false suns in the summer, though I often look up at the sky for a ghostly sun.
I wonder if your apricots are affected by a fungus due to rain, then it is absolutely impossible to grow them in our country? It's raining all the time.
Irises are cool! I haven't seen them in the wild here.

So, they didn't meet at all - this species is practically not cultivated. Under the guise of dwarf irises, others are sold (although they are also dwarf, but only in size, and not in name). This is expected - it only grows in the steppe zone. Agricultural technology of apricot in the forest zone implies "watering with some kind of muck" before budding. Although I'm not sure that you have this kind of monilia in general in nature occurs in dangerous quantities.

Alex, even the tractor refuses to go to your garden. And here is a whole entot... mixer. We only have them on large construction sites, rarely and expensively. Everything that is smaller than a supermarket is built using holes-holes-perd-agitators.

Ordering a mixer from us is a common thing. Neighbors poured the foundation with a mixer under the house.
The equipment can get to the site, but then - no way.
I once ordered a KAMAZ 20t of sand, also drove and unloaded. On the road. I had to throw it with a shovel to free up the driveway
