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.

Two weeks ago, we planted some trees as a future privacy screen for my parents’ property. We chose Japanese cherry, lilac, and false indigo. Elsewhere, my wife wanted to add a Judas tree.
We also bought two planter boxes that match well with the granite wall, which we planted with shining cotoneaster. Initially, these will serve as a safety barrier for the stairs because of our small child; later, they will be moved to other locations.

Wow… how is that possible… are those already the chicks? I had to look it up and learned that starlings are quite social and excellent singers 🙂Yes, those are already the chicks! Our little house is quite... uh... spacious 🙄 Just now, I watched the silly cat, which always digs up my raised bed (and gets inside...), try to catch a chick. It was lucky this time.
Starlings are also great at imitating doorbell sounds. A friend’s husband often jumps up from the patio and rushes inside, thinking the phone is ringing. But it’s actually the starlings. Quite a show, we really had to laugh.

Well, I guess it depends on what you want to achieve.
In your picture, I see a lawn that’s too long and not very dense. The blades are thin, which is a result of using simple fertilizer (high and long, but not sustainable = thick, dense, and weed-resistant). Behind the archway, there’s clover or thistle spreading across the lawn.
Not that it doesn’t have its charm, it’s all fine. But you can also have different goals.
Edit: Ah, okay, the neighbor is behind the archway. Then give them some tips—they have weeds, and soon it will spread to your lawn ;-)
Your grass is very long, thin, not dense, and the blade tips look frayed (turning yellow, dull mower blades, etc.).
We have a greenskeeper in the neighborhood who maintains his lawn professionally at home. Putting appearance aside, it’s amazing to walk on. It’s like walking on clouds—the lawn literally supports you. He mows it down to a maximum height of 2cm (about 0.8 inches), that’s how dense it is. Cool, that’s exactly my style.
Do you have a picture???
