The tower is a kind of raised bed and you can find it under potato pyramid. But you don’t have to plant any there. It’s not finished yet. Still need soil.

Prairie garden is a mixture of perennials and grasses that tolerate heat and frost. Mulched thickly with gravel. (Still missing some) In 2 years everything should be overgrown. Very low maintenance. Flowers and insect food almost all year round. Let’s see how it works in practice.

Go to the library (when it’s open again) and get a stack of gardening books and get inspired. My garden is too small. I still need about 5000 sqm. And we’re nowhere near finished.

I definitely think it’s cool.
Is it more like a cottage garden with you because of the potato tower?
Oh yes, of course, the name Prairie already says that.
Sounds low maintenance.

Yes, we need books and magazines, but we had no clue how to go about it and wanted some input from experienced gardeners.

Honest low-maintenance, close to nature, cottage garden. A few vegetable beds yes, but no self-sufficiency. I have a bed with historic roses, with a few perennials and annual flowers in between, like they used to be in the old cottage garden. It doesn't have much to do with a real cottage garden like grandma had. Flowers were there for the insects. Pest control, attracting useful animals. The rest to feed the family. It doesn't matter what it’s all called. It has to be coherent. Bamboo doesn't fit with rubble stone,

Sorry, what do you mean by the balance scale, that you should see how much time you can invest in the garden and then see if the money is enough for that?

I mean, if you imagine the recipe for a beautiful garden like one for a cake batter: then there always has to be at least as much time as money put in, otherwise it doesn’t taste good or becomes mushy. But I find fluffy gardens nicer.

About the welded wire mesh fence, if then at least with ribbons,

Of course. Original Exterior Design by Chantalles Beauty Nails without ribbons wouldn’t work at all. How could I, smarty pants, suggest such a thing?

since it’s supposed to serve as a privacy screen,

Eight nine ten, well what’s there to see?

Oh, easy to care for, close to nature, cottage garden.
A few vegetable garden beds, yes, but no self-sufficiency.

I have a bed with old-fashioned roses, with some perennials and annual flowers in between as they used to be in the traditional farmer's garden.

It doesn’t have much to do with a real farmer’s garden like grandma had. The flowers were there for the insects. Pest control, attracting livestock. The rest to feed the family.

It doesn’t matter what it’s called. It has to be coherent. Bamboo doesn’t fit with rubble stone.

Okay, when you said farmer’s garden, I really thought of grandma’s garden.
It must look great when everything is blooming. Yes, I agree with you, my pictures are just examples, you can also create everything in other materials and shapes.

Logo. Original Exterior Design by Chantalles Beauty Nails without ribbons just wouldn't work at all. How could I have suggested something like that to Schlauerle

Eight nine ten, so what is there to see?

Yes, everything must and should fit together, that's why I wrote that everything should develop little by little.
We just don't want to be constantly "under observation," to each their own Otherwise, no one would put complete hedges around their garden. (After all, after years they are also a complete privacy screen – because most have 2m high hedges, at least in our area).

Well, if this "their own" happens to be streak gardening ...

Otherwise, no one would completely surround their garden with hedges.

A hedge is only truly complete with birdsong. What chirps in a plastic tape hedge? – maybe doodle chips from greeting cards?
