Garden Pictures Chat Corner

Do you mean the Australia? Not bad. But not for us. We know the Omega loungers from the thermal spa; and since we are two heavyweights, we were impressed by the stability. The height is also not to be underestimated. And they don’t have that disgusting crossbar at tailbone height *laugh. The fabric covering is also replaceable, in case it should ever be necessary. The look with the plastic frame is not outstanding, but oh well.

I don’t quite understand the thing with poisonous plants or plant parts either. A small note would be enough, maybe a traffic light system. Many plants are mildly poisonous, so I wouldn’t worry about that, but there are also highly poisonous ones in garden centers. At least on the seed packet of green beans it says to only eat them cooked. Along with a fresh salad of [Deadly Nightshade], [Spindle], and [Lily of the Valley] ^^

By the way, I just read that my so pleasantly scented broom is very poisonous. Great, I think there should be a warning on the label. Warnings are given for every little thing, "Hot coffee can cause scalding" – but with poisonous plants, everyone has to research on their own. Not even foxglove has a warning on it. I find that almost negligent.

Basically, most garden plants are poisonous, for example, thuja, cypress, boxwood, cherry laurel, or privet and are found in practically every garden.

Australia exactly - I'm not light either, it said something about 200kg, so there's still plenty of room here...

I have nothing against poisonous plants - privet usually just causes diarrhea at first.
I also planted a bleeding heart in the bed. But I want to know beforehand and plant consciously.
Just as I usually work with gloves, but not always. For that, I like to know in advance which plants can cause skin reactions.
For broom, it says toxic in all parts. Eating doesn't matter, but for example that the alkaloids are activated by saliva - so intense handling and then touching your face/mouth with your hands is enough for the first symptoms.
And I don't find that without... well, I have to remind the child again how to behave around plants.

There are warnings everywhere, as if people have no common sense. Poisonous plants are very rarely labeled.

I just took a little tour. Wonderful. Sun, blue sky, birdsong. Behind the house are the berry standard trees, raspberry and strawberries. The tree in the middle is the walnut, below it the compost.

If you pass the compost, to the right next to the vegetable bed there are a few more berries, rhubarb as well as sour cherry and plum. Strawberries will also be planted under the berry standards and rhubarb is planned under the fruit trees.

Yes, and this is a section of the vegetable garden in front, currently still un-dug and unplanted. On the left you can see the edge of the two greenhouses. The earthen embankment on the right (behind it is the street) is continuously colorful with vegetation. All kinds of plants, from the corkscrew willow to birch and hazel (a dream for allergy sufferers...) to newly planted quince, pear, cherry, peach, and plum trees last year. The lawn belongs to my mother-in-law; I would rather prefer a flower meadow.

Nice!
But who processes all of that? :-o
