Market Friday in Ukraine. New purchases for my garden: flowers, flowers, and flowers

Hello, Hive friends!
I'm from Ukraine. I decided to join the #MarketFriday by @dswigle and share with you my thoughts and photos from local outdoor market in my village near Kyiv.

In the Kyiv region, people are gradually returning to normal life. The daily village markets work now (we call them 'bazaars'), where locals sell their own seedlings of garden plants and flowers.

I have been buying flowers for the garden here for several years. Recently, I stopped ordering garden flowers on special sites, and began to buy them from ordinary people in the village market. Because I feel special care and love in these flowers, such flowers also easily take root in my garden and give me joy with their blooms.

In addition, my regular flower seller will always tell me how to plant the flower properly, the best way to fertilize it so that the flowering is 'Wow'. I really like such 'small talk' with the sellers in our Ukrainian village markets.

Today I also decided to buy some plants for my garden. I want to add a little joy to my life in wartime, to support elderly people who grow plants.

Flower prices remained at last year's level. For example, a peony costs $ 5 - $ 25 per seedling
(depending on the variety), an azalea costs $ 30 per bush, and an aquilegia costs $ 4 per seedling.

So, I bought 5 irises for $ 2 per one flower, one peony (Many Happy Returns) for $ 6, and carnation for $ 3.5 per 2 little pots. I also bought basil seedlings for $ 1,5.

You can also buy a variety of vegetables and fruits at the village market, including the food from local farmers. But all fresh vegetables are expensive now. For example, fresh tomatoes cost $ 4-5 per kilogram, cucumbers $ 3 per kilogram, and young cabbage $ 1.5 per kilogram.

I like the atmosphere of the village market. Here you can often see bright characters, easily and effortlessly communicate with sellers, bargain, buy goods cheaper. I would even say that a special life is booming here, its rhythm is pulsating. I am pleased to think that despite the difficult times in my country, Ukrainians believe in the best future, buy seedlings and flowers for their gardens. Because, in the end, small joys of life are hidden in such trifles and daily worries.

Thanks a lot for your attention! Have a great weekend!

Дякую вам за відгук! Так, життя на ньому кіпить. Мені так приємно бачити на нашому базарчику серед продавців тих, кого вже знаю, у кого вже роками купую квіти, насіння, розсаду. Бо всі живі і здорові. Це найголовніше, що може бути сьогодні.

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, life in the market is in full swing. I am so pleased to see at our village market among the sellers of those I already know, from whom I have been buying plants and seedlings for years. Everyone is alive and well. This is the most important thing in wartime.

А я сьогодні тех пішла на ринок, і він був! Людей багато, але переселенці, обличчя не знайомі, але такі рідні🤗 Діалект український, але у кожного свій і одразу розумієш хто звідки приїхав, по діалекту

What a great market @ganya-grak! It really does my heart good to see people there at the Bazaar. Even with all happening around you, to have a slice of normal must be such a good feeling.

I love that the older people continued to grow plants and seedlings, despite everything, keeping the food coming, even in small amounts. Your items are high in price, no surprise there and I can only hope that all will be better and better every day.

I love the community feel of these markets, they are where I meet and greet those that are nor close neighbors, but, you know them. There is special care that goes into these markets, especially now. Thank you so much for joining in and for especially sharing your wonderful market with us.

I always wonder how everyone is doing, thinking, surviving. I pray for a piece of normal life in your day, always and always. Thank you, God Bless the Ukraine.

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
