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.

We recently had quite a situation. Suddenly, there were bees everywhere—a whole swarm was looking for a new home. They have now settled on a tree.
This afternoon, a beekeeper will come by and try to capture them.

When I was building: “I’ll just do a lawn. It’s my house after all. Definitely no flower beds, I hate weeding!” 🙄
When I moved in: “Alright, maybe a small flower bed. Just a little one.” 😳
Today, six months later: “Flowers!!!1elf” ♥♥♥

That reminded me of this:


Meme: red cartoon gardener shouting; everyone clapping 'All the plants!'; Where do we put them?


Hopefully, it will look nicer outside eventually, but for now we’re focusing on the house. Until then, unfortunately, this is what we have to look at:

Yard with grass, left fence wall, dried-up shrubs; white house, red roof, parked car.

Unfortunately, we have neither a dog nor a cat.
And we don’t walk through the meadow area, as that is a wildlife zone 😉 we walk around it and observe.
So far, no tick issues; our daughter had one last year, but that could have been from the forest as well.

No worries

always one thing at a time.

Don’t plant too close together. I made that mistake. Even though my mother-in-law always said not to plant too densely. I planted fewer per square meter (per square yard) than recommended and still ended up with overcrowding in some areas by the second year.

Grass!! Soon I can start mowing … 😀

Small garden soil with first grass blades, stone wall in the background and shrubs.

Maybe sort out some small stones and debris beforehand 🙂

But then it’s time to get started!
