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 built an inexpensive pergola with a gate leading to the forest and started working on our Benjes / deadwood corner.

Grey painted wooden garden gate with arched canopy in the forest, birch trees in the background.

The pergola is quite wobbly (because it was cheap), and we attached it to locust wood posts so it doesn’t have direct contact with the ground.
I also want to let it grow in naturally. I ordered two different native honeysuckles and a native clematis.
Wild grapevine is already growing on the ground, and I will transplant some of it to help it reach the pergola and the hedge faster.

Forest of tall pines; grey wooden gate in a wooden hedge, dry grass in the foreground.

A deadwood hedge really consumes a lot of material, and we have almost 27 meters (about 88 feet) to fill.

Forest with birch and pine trees, birdhouses on trees, blue gate, shrubs in front.

We haven’t set all the posts yet, but the beginning is done.
The hedge is between 40 and 50 cm (16 and 20 inches) wide and winds through our small forest strip.
I think it looks very cute (and yes, the pergola is a bit crooked, but I don’t mind 😀).
This is how it looks coming from the forest:

Forest area with wooden gate and wooden fence, birch trees, green shrubs; houses in the background.

It’s truly admirable that you still find the time and energy for something like this...

Thank you 🙂.

The house is just warming up and inside it’s 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit), which we’re not putting up with.
And strangely, gardening is more relaxing for me (even though everything hurts today) than the house stuff 😀

After 3 years, our patio roof is finally being built.

Unfortunately, the first carpenter delayed us for almost 1.5 years and in the end stopped answering the phone, even though he had already completed the roofs of the house and garage.

Modern white villa with gray pergola; man standing on ladder, tools and wood in the garden.

@Holzhäuschen
Where do you get all the materials from? Are they all lying around in your strip of forest? And what material did you use for the posts?

We do have a lot of materials lying around here, yes! But I think we will still post an ad online to collect green waste 😀, because what we have isn’t nearly enough.

We used locust wood posts, which can withstand ground contact and are very hard.
