Plant multiplying is probably the biggest problem for me. This is especially true for roses. I've reviewed dozens of videos where others do it easily and quickly, but every time I failed.Now I've started a little experiment. I bought special devices for growing roots. It's a plastic ball that consists of two halves. You pour the soil inside and close the ball around the living branch where you want to get the root. It's a simple instruction.

For today's contest, I chose photos of a young chicken. My chickens are my pets. They have names and live life when they are confident in the future, because they will never become someone's dinner. Eggs and chicks are not their duty, but I am always happy if babies appear in their family. It's very rare.

In 2022, the first of April became a special day for me forever. On this day, Ukrainian troops liberated us from russian orcs. We've been in the occupation for more than a month. The terrible March of 2022 between Bucha and Borodyanka.

I love the rain. It calms me down. I like to sit at home with a cup of cocoa and wrapped in a blanket and listen to the raindrops knocking on the roof of my house.Despite the rain, I quickly ran around the garden with my camera to take some photos of my flowers covered with raindrops. And although my garden is not the best place for walks in wet weather, the rain transforms it. The plants seem to be covered with a silver haze. They are clearly happy about this moisture. This is important in the spring, because the plants need extra energy to start active growth. Rain is water. And water, as you know, has a huge positive energy. In addition, the spring rain finally takes away with it the memories of winter as a time of cold and timelessness.

It's raining today, so I'm doing my garden work in the greenhouse. It doesn't matter to me, because there's a lot of work to be done in the greenhouse and outdoors.Today I freed my strawberries from insulation. It was my first experience when strawberries spent the winter in coconut briquets in a greenhouse. Despite the fact that the plants were in greenhouses, I covered them with a layer of straw in the fall. Our weather is unpredictable. Constant temperature fluctuations can be very significant. Today we have a positive temperature, and tomorrow it can be 10-15 degrees Celsius. Coconut briquets are a wonderful thing, but they are unlikely to be able to preserve plants without special insulation.

These photos show spring 2021. Our last peaceful spring. That year, the stork Beak tried to build its first nest. It was exciting. At first I noticed that the beak is trying to collect branches in the yard. But it wasn't very successful, because my yard is clean of old branches. Then I turned to the residents of our village, who did spring tree pruning. I asked for the branches for the beak. And so I brought a whole mountain of branches for him. To make it more comfortable for him, I cut the branches into small pieces.
