Garden Pictures Chat Corner

I am curious whether it will really be too tight. If that is / becomes the case, there will eventually be another perennial bed where the "surplus" will go. But for now, the goal is a basic framework or that something blooms at all and survives the first year.

Karsten your garden looks good and is especially finished.

The 1 year really makes a big difference.
Why didn’t you lay bark mulch between the plants?

Fiddle board I hope someday it will look like this at our place.

Mother and mother-in-law also always say less is better. I’m allowed to thin out one bed. At the latest next year.

My wife says the mulch is not necessary. The blooming trees, very pretty, very very pretty. K.

Mulch creates an acidic environment, which not all plants like.

Did you guys also have requirements about what you have to plant? We have those as compensatory measures for the house. Our property borders a field at the back and we have to plant two rows of hedges there with 3 trees in between. Plus 2 deciduous trees on the property. Which hedges and which trees are also specified (about 3-5 native species each). The rest of the property can then be planted "freely".

-Thank you, Mrs. Müller, I didn’t know that. So don’t cover roses with mulch. Wood chips are better? - No planting regulations have been issued here. Do as you like.

Yes, the garden is finished for now, haydee, something like that is never finished. But it was important to us that we don’t have to live in a new-build wasteland, but quickly have some greenery.
There are plans that Mrs. Nordlicht has already discussed with the landscape gardener. Mowing edge to the embankment made of granite square paving stones, flush with the ground. We want to create a small gravel area at the top, vice versa to the hut in the other corner with an iron bench or something. But not yet, the bushes still have to grow on the embankment, up there you’d still blow away. I would also like to have a small fountain with a half-clothed goddess who takes water from an amphora, and a dolphin spits the water into the fountain... or something like that. But that is not yet supported by the majority. I love the old tragedies Orestia, King Oedipus and so on, and the characters in them. Karsten
