In the second to last picture, there is a door "in the floor." What is it for? Built it yourself?I am happy to contribute a few garden pictures again in 2025… meanwhile our seventh year in the house.

Self-built?

That is the earth cellar from the aforementioned thread.

Yes, right.. the door leads to the earth cellar.. it has already proven itself for potatoes, pickled cucumbers, preserved fruit… and in the hot summer, there is sometimes a cake in there. In winter, the cellar is frost-free (that's where my ornamental lilies overwinter) and in the hottest summer (over 30 degrees) the temperature is max. 17..19 degrees.

that sounds good. We have a hillside garden and I sometimes think about digging a room into the hill (which is otherwise useless) there. But it will probably be too expensive for me ... and there’s also quite a bit else to do ...Yes, right.. the door leads to the earth cellar.. it has already proven itself for potatoes, salted cucumbers, preserved fruit… and in the hot summer there is sometimes a cake in there.

... have now looked at the "Erdkeller-Baubericht" and am still impressed. What I notice in these last garden pictures is that there is a lot of "discipline" involved in keeping everything so tidy. With us, it looks significantly more chaotic and untidy - which I don't find bad, but "the neatness" also has something :)

Anyone who thinks their garden still looks too much like a construction site could take inspiration from this improvised pond system with fountain.
