Gardening: bought a big open-air house with an attic

Against the market, buy a new house with an attic and a large open-air balcony, regardless of how many people question, oppose and derogate, in order to heart that do not want to talk to those people about the garden dream.

Many people advised me to convert the attic with built-in stairs into external stairs, and then rent it out for 7K or 8k a year. I really can't tell them that attics and terraces are what I've been fighting for for a long time, a way of life that I've always wanted. Bosom friends are not around, they are all online, including you.

After I got the new house in March, I began to decorate nervously and simply. Every day, I would stand on the terrace with spring snow, blowing the north wind, and imagine what flowers would be like in this 36-square-meter blank for a while.

In the summer of last year, I began to do the terrace floor, which is tantamount to an extra layer of waterproof, and I feel more at ease.

The terrace is flat, and there is no isolation from the neighbors. There is only an one-meter-high wall and no fence in front of the terrace. There are still two ugly ventilation pipes standing there, and one is still standing in front of the window.

Four big snakeskin bags were collected from the finished construction waste, and the workers said that they could just throw it off the roof and startled me, not to mention a big bag of things weighing 70 to 80 jin, or even half a brick could be thrown into an accident, ah, and then all the rubbish was carried down and thrown away by themselves.

The next step was to build a flower pond. With the help of relatives, they sent more than 400 hollow bricks. There was no way, and there was no rice in their hands, so they had to carry them all upstairs.

And this table and chair. I don't know who threw it away. I picked it up like a treasure. It was originally broken up, but I bought the gongs again and fixed them.

Unexpectedly, the photo of the flower pool can not be found. I also hung the wire myself. I built it myself, which is quite flat. The important thing is to save money. Poor families have to be careful when they live.

Swear that you can't drag your feet any more, the first thing is to solve the fence.

After the completion of the guardrail, snow was forecast at that time. I was afraid to rust, so I dared not delay. I bought the paint and painted it twice. It took three days, and then there was a heavy snow, and the pace was just right.

Next is the waterproof layer in the flower pond. The waterproofing company said that the temperature must be above zero before construction could be carried out, so it had to wait patiently until May before construction began.

As soon as the waterproofing of the flower pond was over, it began to make flower soil non-stop. First go outside the wall of a thermal power company in the suburbs, dig five large bags of slag by hand, carry them home and break them one by one, spread them at the bottom of the flower pond and make a drainage layer.

Friends in the factory Amoy a bunch of insulation boards, with the inside of the flower pond, this is for the safety of the winter, here is not detailed.

Down is the critical flower soil, looking for someone to buy 28 bags of garden soil, 17 bags of water and sand, this thing is too heavy, can only pay to hire a master. The other 23 bags of rotten leaf soil were relatively light, and I spent two batches of them carrying them upstairs by myself, saving 180 yuan.

Mixing the garden soil, rotten leaf soil and water sand with insecticides and fungicides, it was another big project, and the old waist was almost broken.

Finally, record the current state of flowers and plants.

I thought that this area was under the north wall of the north terrace and should be very shady. Originally, all the shade-loving plants, such as alum roots, were chosen in this area, but I can't imagine that the sun shone directly in the afternoon, but the alum roots, which I was worried about, became more colorful and brighter. I seem to be more sun-resistant, and I breathe a sigh of relief. Only that one endless summer, sun in the afternoon, so that its tender leaves are a little dry scorched.

This golden privet was carried all the way back to Inner Mongolia from Shanghai at the end of May. The first plant was a little wilted, so it was trimmed into a ball, and now all the new branches have come out.

The snake whip chrysanthemum runs very fast. it was only a few centimeters a month ago, but now it is almost 1 meter high, and the bud is coming out. But the strange thing is that serpentine chrysanthemum is not purple, now it is red.

Sky blue sage is also held back in Shanghai, blooming constantly, the plant type is long and elegant, planted next to Fanda. On the other hand, the blue mouse tail is silly and noisy. It has already pulled out a few trees and is not going to plant them any more.

The dwarf cow, which was sown from the seeds last fall, hung sick seedlings indoors all winter and hung on the terrace in spring. as a result, the wind and dust blew again and again, and then it simply shaved its head and grew like this again. Yesterday's torrential rain broke a lot of petals again.

I also planted a jujube tree. I thought it would blossom and bear fruit next year, but it gave me something to look forward to this year.

The lowest night temperature in our area is more than 20 degrees below zero, so it seems that the success of this coverage method is still very optimistic.
