I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

Who have I excluded or made fun of?
Yes, they changed the colors, but not from green to red; instead, they introduced a different color spectrum with more gradations.
The site I’m referring to does not make predictions. It verifies and falsifies claims and exposes problems, by the way, initially independent of any political leanings.
No scientist has ever claimed that a vaccination provides 100% immunity! But it reduces the likelihood of getting sick and lessens the severity of the illness, so the chances increase—especially for risk groups—of getting through it relatively unharmed.
I believe that in a garden thread, it’s perfectly appropriate to also discuss climate (change); it definitely belongs here.
For example, the question of whether, in light of climate change, the usual rule of only planting native species could be reconsidered. Does it not make sense to include Mediterranean plants in garden planning, especially since some species are already establishing themselves independently in the wild as neophytes?
That way, less irrigation would be needed.

There are no alternative facts. All data on climate change point to the same conclusions. And no, just because a few nonsense spreaders claim otherwise doesn’t make it a scientifically supported opinion. Science is not a democracy, get used to it. Science works differently, based on evidence.
Take a look at the MaithinkX episode about freedom of speech. It explains this very clearly. No thanks, that was the one where the guy works at Merck.
But who even cares about that these days.

No scientist has ever claimed that a vaccination provides 100% immunity! But it reduces the likelihood of falling ill and mitigates the course of the disease, so that especially for risk groups the chances of getting through it relatively unscathed increase.
I think in a gardening thread it’s perfectly fine to talk about the climate (change), it definitely belongs here.
For example, the question of whether, in view of climate change, the rule to only plant native species could be relaxed? Does it not make sense to incorporate, for example, Mediterranean plants into garden planning, especially where some species are already establishing themselves as neophytes in the wild...
Then you wouldn’t have to water as much. As I said, I wasn’t referring to anyone personally here; it’s about the general mechanism.
I think your suggestion regarding plant selection fits very well here. Which plants should one avoid, for example, if dryness is taken into account?
I’m not an expert either, but I think anything with large leaves generally requires a lot of water. Unfortunately, that probably includes bamboo, which is actually my absolute favorite garden plant. Does anyone know of an alternative that looks similar but doesn’t need as much water?

Does anyone know of an alternative that looks similar but needs less water? There are some tall-growing grasses that can tolerate steppe climates.
