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.

Are those RGB spotlights?

We have also upgraded our lighting, but with solar-powered lights. In reality, the lights are a bit dimmer and are now positioned elsewhere.

Our attempt to grow grass (there used to be a tree there a year ago, which was removed):

Here is an attempt at a flower "meadow." Not much is visible yet... 🙁

But it is gradually getting greener:

We are a bit worried about these plants because of the discoloration on the leaves (one of the light spheres from the first picture is also visible):

This flower is suffering from cold. I can’t remember the name, but we also have two of them.

There we have it again!

We need something that can tolerate low temperatures. Maybe we should switch to artificial flowers ... 🙄

It’s starting to look quite nice now.
Although I like to tease my mother-in-law because she could really let loose here, I have to admit it’s beautiful when everything is in bloom. :p

Red brick house with carport on the left, construction timber and soil in front of the house

Yesterday, I dug up the first third of the garden. Today, if the weather holds up a bit, I planned to rake everything and then sow the lawn. I could even have borrowed a roller from a neighbor.
Today: It’s pouring down heavily. No chance.

Well, at least I can share a small before-and-after of our mini flower bed in front of the house. It’s nice to see the plants sprouting. 🙂
The first picture is from May 9th, the other one is from yesterday.

Advantages of renovation: The entire property already has great plants without needing to redesign everything 😉
