No idea about gardening

I hope it is clearly visible. These are now only the things around the house. The property has trees and hedges all around. It is also overgrown there, but that just makes the very large garden a little smaller, which can still be done next year. But the spots at the house need to be taken care of for various reasons (appearance, space, safety for the children).

You can now cut back the ivy properly. The hibiscus should also be boldly pruned in late spring (April ...) next year (then it will bloom beautifully again). That’s all for now ... If you want to get rid of everything, then just do it (I prefer it green).

Weeds always need to be pulled out sometimes (sidewalk), they don’t appear at all if the plants are healthy and bigger ones prevent weeds from growing in the first place. Otherwise, ground covers like hostas and these large leaves can simply be torn a little at the edges, and you can also cut at the roadside.

If you find the tips too superficial: sorry, in my opinion: if you rent a house with a garden, you have to be aware of this (even if the landlord wants to take care of it or a gardener – that’s no free pass). Plants need care: exactly how, you can learn from a book or in a crash course.
Basically you can’t do much wrong: it’s like ironing a shirt or cleaning a bathroom [emoji4]

Roughly, you can't do anything wrong: it’s like ironing a shirt or cleaning a bathroom (end of quote)

Oh, do you have to do that too?

No, you only have to die. You don't have to do anything else.

ypg but we have neither rented a house nor a garden. The garden belongs to the owner who lives on the ground floor, we live on the upper floor. The owner is my husband’s grandfather. We only moved here because his grandfather asked us to. We are allowed to use the garden (we always were, even before moving in). Since my husband was a child, he has mowed the lawn and, if necessary, cut down the trees (even when he did not live here) and occasionally trims the hedge. Yes, we were aware that we might have to take care of the garden, yes, we also missed the chance to back out, we could have taken over the gardening work on a large scale earlier. But why and how everything is the way it is now should actually not need to be explained and cannot be changed anymore. Even if I had rented a house with a garden, is that important here? I am asking for tips and help on how to best remove everything. How to redo everything is revealed to me by plenty of modern videos on YouTube, for that I don’t even need a book. And that I want to keep it simple or don’t want to have more here than necessary, I will not let myself be blamed for that. I have already moved into a new apartment and left behind my dream apartment to regularly be treated rudely by a more or less stranger, thanks to a slowly progressing dementia, to help with shopping, tidying up, cleaning, etc., and much of it falls on me because no one in the family takes care of him, but I find it inhumane to leave him completely alone with everything. For my children, I only have to remove the nettles and can let the rest grow wild.
