Garden Pictures Chat Corner

We have slightly expanded our tree stock. Added is a cedar, which is allowed to grow up to 20m high - at the moment, the 3.x m little tree just peeks over the driveway.

Next to the house there is now a red-berried holly with a tall trunk, to the left a hornbeam, which is allowed to grow as a shrub-tree (barely visible in the first picture), and in the foreground a laburnum.

Here again hornbeam

We don't have a house yet, but now we have 9 more trees.
Last weekend, the four of us planted 7 trees (two apple trees, two pear trees, one aspen, one hornbeam, and one field maple) and yesterday we transplanted two cherry trees from my current garden.
Hopefully, everything will get through the winter well.

It's quite hard to photograph trees in front of trees :)

This is the view from the kitchen window :)



The rest of the garden will be done next year, step by step. We are doing it all ourselves.

Behind our house, there is a field that is farmed through agriculture. 2..3 times a year, large machines can be seen spraying. Today was one of those days again. It annoys me a lot because I suspect it is some kind of pesticide. The field is surrounded by single-family houses and the kindergarten is located at the densest point about 300 meters away… the west wind blows exactly in this direction. Currently, young cereal plants are showing in the field. Does anyone have any idea what might be sprayed right now?

Fungicides presumably. Organic farmers also spray

Possibly growth regulators

I have now emailed the agriculture department and asked what they sprayed. Let's see if they answer..

The farmers have little choice but to spray
