Are home gardens no longer desired?

Nowadays, with relatively small plots of land, I only find the trees good if they are small. Most houses are anyway close to each other and you don’t have a good view, and if the trees are added on top of that, no view, no sun...

Are you sure about that? Okay, if "organic" comes from the supermarket shelf, "sustainability" is paid for with money (photovoltaics, eco-friendly bricks, green BahnCard and package shipping with CO2 labels... and "health" comes from the gym.

On top of that, land prices are outrageous.

Of course, this is currently a cliché and provocative... BUT! it is true. Just look at how many allotment gardens can be found in the area and how many rules for allotment gardens have significantly increased the "ornamental garden share" over the last 30 years...

Sure, there is some green gardening as rebels on the traffic island and also "no waste" movements, but honestly... that is not mainstream.

And I bet, of the last 100 home builders here in our city, at most 10, rather 5, have (or plan to have) potatoes in their garden.

Hello,

many are commuters, have children, want to go on vacation. Such a vegetable garden always requires work, even on vacation. I see it with my father-in-law.

We only have a herb cultivator.

Alternatively, there are also farms for children where all sorts of things are cultivated. But there will be no lawn in our garden either; we just don’t have the right plot for tomatoes and potatoes.

We now also have two rows of potatoes, but that's actually nonsense ... You can buy them all year round in high quality at a very low price, so growing them yourself hardly pays off here. I find berries, tomatoes, stone fruit, herbs, and also flowers really valuable from the garden.

And then comes the topic of preservation/storage ... A cellar was definitely no longer an option for us (financially).

We had and will set up the greenhouse again when the garden is finished, inside there are tomatoes and cucumbers and peppers. Outside we have zucchini and rotating lettuce, carrots and onions, sometimes also cabbage. Along with that, raspberries and blackberries and gooseberries, newly this year we are also getting blueberries. And on the trees there are cherries and apples and we still have to plant one more to balance it out - it will be either pear or plum - possibly both.

But the thing with gardens is becoming less common here too, most new plots are tiny and very often have gravel beds.

But unfortunately it will still take a while before everything outside is finished again with us.
