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.

PS: what is this new nonsense about "your post must be at least 30 characters or 5 words"??? 😡
are you going to train the trellis, or is the professional gardener coming for regular maintenanceA

After all the tips here, we aerated the lawn... What can I say? 🙄 Umm... so far it looks very... scruffy 😳 But it's surprising how much dead material we removed. Soil conditioner (according to our landscaping gardener, an environmental improver and: more is better) has already been applied. I'm very curious to see what will come of this scruffy area, but I am hopeful 😀
The strawberry season is just around the corner:
The strawberries are absolutely amazing this year!
But my peonies still don’t like it:
It’s a late variety, but this late?
The regular roses are already starting to bloom:
My Willi is really thriving (David Austin, William Shakespeare)
And Julia is as beautiful as expected:
(Julia’s Rose) A tea rose with a very unusual coloration. It looks almost too pink in the picture; in reality, the color is more parchment-like. Gorgeous! I saw this rose and had to have it. Bought bare-rooted and it is already rewarding me with a bloom in the first year. EXEMPLARY! The peonies could definitely take a lesson from this!!! They moved with us but are just being difficult.
Our wildflower meadow in front of the house is also blooming diligently:
But quite different from last year:
Apparently, sunflowers don’t want to come this year—such a pity... But we do have daisies!
