These were 2 wildflower-grass mixtures from the gardener - unfortunately I can’t tell you which variety/company. Last year at the end of March it was still quite cold, it took a very long time before anything even started to germinate. I think that also gave the mercuryleaf advantage.

What exactly are you trying - waiting to see what comes? What does the area look like, or what was there before and what is currently growing there?

Mmh, since you told me about the lamb's quarters, I've been wondering. I think I will cut down the thistles again now. Lamb's quarters are mixed in there too. Even though I like thistles, I mainly wanted a flower meadow. I did sow it, but as far as I'm concerned, there are only small seedlings so far. They don't stand a chance, do they? What do you think?

No, we have also tried insect-/butterfly-friendly flower mixes. But there are always many sunflowers included, which overshadow everything. And very dominant grasses, which apparently displace the blooming plants because they seem to grow faster and claim space for themselves.

With ready-made meadow seed mixtures, you sometimes have to be careful because the plant composition is unfavorable. Seed mixtures from NABU or nurseries that specialize in natural garden design are recommended. Some of them also offer their products online.

Two years ago, I spread such a meadow mixture in some "unsightly" corners of our garden without much preparation or follow-up. Some of these plants prove to be very persistent (cornflowers!) and have now permanently settled with us. I think it's good that if you let nature do its thing a bit (within a tolerable limit for yourself), quite interesting developments arise in the garden.

I am quite certain that about 25 years ago I threw a window out of the half-timbered house in the background. Is there not by any chance a kindergarten within walking distance?

I’m so glad you’re still active here, even though your house already seems to be standing. I’m really looking forward to the garden planning, and I want a garden that is nourishing and beautiful for people and animals. At the moment, I’m also considering whether we should drill a well (not a driven well), if the [“untere Wasserbehörde”] (?) allows it. We are building a cistern anyway.
