see picture. If you always cut grass to lawn height, then it is a rather lifeless golf lawn.

If you have a natural garden, of course there is nothing against keeping a few square meters short for a lounger or something...

Great illustration, thanks for that.
Now I understand the golf lawn thing too. Golf lawn is not a particularly velvety, well-maintained lawn, but simply any lawn that is mowed regularly.
The drawing is really nice.

Thank you. I plan to deal extensively with the topic of old or nearly extinct plants and to prefer planting them here with us. The fruit trees should also be "old varieties."

What I can never get enough of in spring is our dandelion. At the moment, we still have about 750 sqm of undeveloped/unsealed area, and in spring, dandelions bloom almost everywhere without gaps, a yellow sea. It is a beautiful sight. However, every year it has been a "tough battle" to prevent others, I won't name names, from mowing the lawn before the dandelion blooms.

I believe that if dandelions were not so common, they would certainly be a very expensive and popular plant to give as a gift (instead of roses?). Because of the beautiful yellow color and the transformation into a blowball. That is highly interesting. Only because they are so common do so few appreciate them and cut them out.

Addendum: On our new property, I will definitely create small rondels with dandelions. I probably have to pay attention to sufficient distance from the neighbors, as there are not many people who share my fondness for dandelions.

This year I am sending in apples to have the variety of the old tree identified. I also want to propagate it through grafting.

I want old varieties, but I want a maximum of bush trees. More varieties, less yield per tree. What do I want with a few hundred kilos of apples or pears? I don't want to can a lot. Sure, a few jars of cake filling, chutney, and the like, but not large quantities or driving to the cider mill with a trailer. The orchard is not coming until next year anyway. The only thing I am no longer sure about with the old varieties is whether they are really suitable for the currently prevailing climate.
