Garden Pictures Chat Corner

I'll do it when I'm home. Definitely a Fargesia.. Photos etc. are coming.

To the right, the hornbeam hedge begins, to the left is bushy stuff.
I can also take pictures of that.

Sure, I'm still looking for various bushy stuff :)

What kind of bush knick-knacks are you looking for?

What kind of bushy odds and ends are you looking for?

Good question. I have about 20 meters of fence where I would like to plant something green in front, or let it climb up, or both. And then another 35-meter slope, about 3 meters high, which I also want to green up towards the house side. Currently completely covered with black foil to prevent further wild growth and thistles in the lawn. What I like in plants: - evergreen - things you can harvest / eat - bee-friendly - beautifully colorful blooms spread throughout the year - lavender - roses - butterfly bush - anything that fits in an overgrown "cottage garden." I'm not someone who pulls every little weed, I need things that can mostly be left to themselves. I'm also looking for something more natural, so rather different plants, and less the straight row of cherry laurel. We already have those on the other side of the property, I basically don’t mind it but it’s almost too "neat" for me. :)

I am planning - should come this year still - a row with fruit about 8-10 m long Blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, redcurrant, I believe I already showed you pictures of the hedge recently Rose deutzia Red-twig dogwood Lilac Winter honeysuckle Scottish fence rose Forsythia Amber Jubilee ninebark Double-flowered garden jasmine - unfortunately died, I am still thinking about what will go there Lilac Weigela I planted the row in 2018/2019. In the first summer I had to water quite a bit, last year occasionally, this year not at all. I cut off the first branches that were in my way, and the dogwood had 2 treatments with a rapeseed oil-water spray because of aphids. Narrow climbing plants are clematis, wild grapevine, They are pruned once a year, occasionally need water Roses - I am still quite new at it The oldest rambler planted in October 18 does not do what I want - probably wrong location I have 9 historic roses - extremely hardy - they survived the last winter without winter protection - also those in large pots. As a reward, strong cicada infestation, 2 are not growing as they should. They are definitely not as easy to care for as clematis or the hedge. Probably somewhat more elaborate - but I am totally hooked on espalier, e.g. slanting double cordons

I am really impressed at how you know the name of every bush, tree, and flower.

, in one of your pictures I discovered bamboo. Could you maybe post a picture of the plant? Which bamboo is it and how satisfied are you? Growth, etc.

This is the bamboo, should be the Jumbo. We have now cut it back properly on the terrace side. It drinks a lot, and if it doesn’t get anything, it immediately drops leaves. Then we also have other varieties - we planted them in the first year as a privacy screen for our smaller terrace. They quickly reached their final length of about 1.50 and 2 meters. I’ll say it right away: if you don’t have time to water or no irrigation system, you will be annoyed by the falling leaves or the remaining bare branches (branches?)
