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.

This year, I planted a special pumpkin variety that is growing really well (nickname: Gollum) – however, it has almost exclusively male flowers. Very pretty, but I actually wanted it to produce fruit. I’ve already threatened to remove it if it continues to have only male flowers and no fruit. Since then, it has developed a single fruit (not much considering it’s taking up almost my entire garden) – as if the plant heard the threat.

My question: is there any way to encourage the development of female flowers? I didn’t actually plant it as an ornamental flowering plant.

That happened to me last year with my pumpkin as well.

@ypg, in one of your pictures I noticed bamboo. Could you please share a photo of the plant? Which type of bamboo is it, and how satisfied are you with it? Growth, etc.

After a successful kohlrabi harvest, the pumpkins are now glowing brightly in the garden bed. Next year, I plan to plant kohlrabi in six-week intervals, so we can enjoy the tender flavor for a longer time.

The tomatoes are slowly changing color as well, and the chili peppers are growing like mutants, they’re turning out really long. Otherwise, there are still beautiful color combinations on the terrace <3

It all looks great!
What do you have in the background of the third picture, just behind the tree? It’s a bit blurry, but is that a very tall hedge or some shrubs? If so, what kind are they?

I’ll do that when I’m home. Definitely a Fargesia… Photos and more to come.

To the right, the hornbeam hedge begins; to the left, it’s just some random bushes.
I can take more photos of those too.
