More from Andrey’s garden in Russia

Yesterday ’s batch of picture from Andrey Lysikovin Russia emphatically was not enough . Luckily , he sent in a bunch more ! He publish quite a bit about the history of the garden , and then used a website to translate , so it ’s a bit confusing , but I ’ve gleaned what I can . He says,“I know many garden architect and even landscape painting architects who do n’t have their own well - plan garden , and even in universal a site . It is not that they are strong only in theory . No , there simply does n’t stay to time for make a garden . I had such a site . It was bought in 1968 , 60 km to the South of Moscow ( USDA Zone 4 ) . And though there was no " landscape gardening " there , my mother for many years was fond of flowers and there were some plant life she put in . Everything cardinally modify , as well as at most of our compatriots , after Perestroika . When I lead off to work in landscape business firm and get going to different foreign gardens , I wanted to change my own site somehow . Therefore all that now it is possible to see in photos developed very gradually over 15 old age or about that . Evolutionary transformation of a garden , change of the fruit and garden stylistic determination – towards landscape and eclectic , come about at uncommon moments upon Sunday arrivals , and without any participation of hired labor . Now there are dissimilar functional geographical zone : there is a nice shade garden in which buzulnik and ditsentra , strausnik and kupena , podofilluma and skopoliya , astilboidesa and darmer raise . There is a quite large - scurf ruffle edge ( which , however , should be lick into shape ) , a organisation of depleted retaining walls which are pose out a dry masonry from hand - delivered blocks of limestone and a reservoir in the central lawn . There different pochvopokrovny plants live . In front of a menage porch a few year ago I made flat rockery , united , at last , in a whole a small stony hill and a small collection of the cone-bearing plant life fetch at different times from unlike places . Rock arias , by the way , appeared because I desperately needed to illustrate with photo the compose folder " Alpine Hill " . As a resultant some impress stage of creation of the rock aria make on pages of this account book . The pool on our site , though small , uprise probably about 8 years ago . It appeared after I visit a nursery of water plants . in general I treat ponds quite indifferently and I assumed that I would not have one on my site . But after visiting the wonderful " water humans " I want to progress a water mirror in the garden . In the next day off I stopped by on the way of life at some garden center , I buy a piece of a tissue layer , and the next day we already had own lake . As a background it is served by a quite old fir - Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , which is formed over many years in the shape of a roundish bush , model on the edge of a internet site , and also planting of barberry , rodzhersiya , a darmer , and ferns . Not so long ago nearby there was one more lowly apportioning about 350 m2 . This gash of the earth by efforts of my wife gradually and steadily turn into a ornamental kitchen garden at several levels . Its history only set about , but conformation of a newfangled site already appear . Our garden grows and deepen together with us . Of course , it not option of a garden during the time of year , or for two as it is accepted in landscape business . It is n’t bought as " a set of the beginning nurseryman " , did n’t turn out suddenly from scratch though , for certain , such way of creation of a garden is suitable for many as well as potential . But we ourselves gradually mold we direct our garden , we perpetually modify it , and we survive with it the general life . “So nice , Andrey ! Thank you so much for the additional picture . * * * Andrey sent in some crepuscle shots , too ! I ’ll post those soon . * * *
