Garden Pictures Chat Corner

Addendum: The brown "spots" on the pavement are still from the rain. At another location, I have already planted two "Schlingende Heckenkirsche, Lonicera similis var. delavayi" as a test. Here too, I hope that the young plants survive the winter.

I also grew the honey tomato last year. It tasted very fruity, but for me it did not yield nearly as much as advertised on the internet.

Your husband really did a great job. It looks very coherent!

As is known, we received the information on the evening before the sample selection that our house would be more expensive by a high five-figure amount, which is why we panicly cut many things that are now missing on the outside of the house and which we will retrofit. (Faschen, shutters, etc.) - The garage will still be painted in the color of the house.

Then I remembered correctly that you wanted Faschen. I find the normal garage much more fitting than the originally planned sunbathing bench carports. What kind of lottery drum is that at the corner to the field edge?

Also, I’ve gotten the urge to build another house. Closer to Leipzig, smaller and age/disability friendly or directly on a lake. We’ll see.

It tasted very fruity but hardly yielded anywhere near what is advertised on the internet for me.

I was hoping for sweet rather than fruity. But we’ll see how it tastes to me or according to my taste.

Your husband really did a great job. It looks very coherent!

That’s true. It was also very, very much work. As mentioned, most stones had to be worked on by hand individually. My husband and I find it funny that now all the craftsmen who still sometimes come to the house, also the former building manager, or people who walk past the house, ask him if he would take on paving work for them. Although that is not his profession.

Then I remembered correctly that you wanted fascias.

Correct, and very gladly also shutters, so that the house looks more "nostalgic" than "fashionable."

I find the normal garage much more fitting than the originally intended tanning-bed carports. What is that raffle drum at the corner by the edge of the field?

I also like the garage better, although I didn’t want either garage or carport... that was my husband’s wish. I usually find car parking spaces ugly. But maybe that also depends on the cars parked in front.
The "raffle drum" is a rotary composter. We had to buy a composter and prove ownership of it, otherwise we would have had to rent a bio-waste bin from the city.

True. But maybe I simply miss the exchange with you and the other commentators. ;-) Although, if we realize another new build, that is something I’m actually most looking forward to: the exchange with you all.

Pinkiponk last year many tomatoes were somewhat tasteless for me. No comparison to 22. Feel free to try it for one or two years. For me, about 20 varieties will be grown again.
