No, it is not because of the snow that came down recently that our garden is almost invisible. But simply to the season. Because what you see because of its plants when it is not just an evergreen plant? Nüscht. :) Aside from a few dry branches, and perhaps even a tribe. But anyway: We now have a garden. Jahaaaaaaa! : D But always in order.
Our landscaping Bauer has already accompanied us throughout the building and construction including first time made sure that our property was straightened and thus ever be developed properly. He also took care of the fundamental improvement in our very wet clayey soil in which he produced tons of sand dug in and our beloved phacelia, also called bee friend, had sown.
There was now the program: the planting. This should still be quick, before it would be too cold. In any case, we learned from him: Planted, when the leaves are down from the trees. Aha! Only too. :) Just our lawn that follows until the spring. The rest was also really sunk so just before the first snowfall in the soil.
At the beginning of course, the destruction of weeds . Incredible how much there on our "field" and proliferated in the front yard was. The front yard, we got quite a while. Only I alone, then with Paddy assistance. Hardly imagine what this has caused small compared to the rest area for a job. Want to say: We are still looking for the joy of gardening is to create allegedly!
Here are some impressions of the day:

... rammed into the soil (clay can be pretty tough and stubborn!) To the weeds together with the root ... rauszuhebeln
collect ... weeds, free from soil and down into the bucket.
Runs! In the pictures one can see a less densely overgrown spot. There was really a whole lot of stuff. Note also my rubber boots, which I had been a faithful companion. ;)
Except for a few remnants of green, we had done it at some point .

because just because we were going, then we also have our remaining paving stones of the terrace on the gravel surface of the future garden house, dragged just before the rear property line. I say only: The gym is now useless!
mountain before.
mountain before.
mountain behind.
Looks like not much spread out, however, this is only because the gravel surface is relatively large, as our garden shed and to be not quite so small. But that's still up! The human needs projects. : D
The rest we have then we would rather Landscaping farmers left. Why? That's why!
The rest we have then we would rather Landscaping farmers left. Why? That's why!
Questions? We had no more and would rather have the euro slid across the table to make himself not only to the need. I think we would still dig out and pluck ...
And so was the mole and conjured up and built up a garden. You can see him not only as correct. ;))) But in comparison to earlier: a dream! Missing only the spring and leaves and flowers!

on all beds a layer of mulch been distributed. If you look closely, you can see the curved course of the beds . So the brown wave next to the brown earth where the grass is sown later. ;)
Those who can not imagine so, here again our garden design February .

The result is like this of course not in all details, but by and large already.
Yikes, it's green! It is always green! ;)
addition to the house "ever greening" it also, when privacy protection with our neighbors to the right.
And in the front yard has done something.
In the last picture you can see the winter garden-like cultivation of our neighbors . This is very popular, often with guests, and from that we had virtually free access to the terrace and also partially into the house. Had? Yes!
And away! : P This privacy protection was the most important thing in our garden design. may cost a whole lot of money, even these 2.5 elements, but it was really worth it! And did we not the very expensive Variant taken. But of course, not the cheap version from the hardware store, you must blow on just so they fall over. The elements are called way Risby and are osmo. you are pressure impregnated and the color is called "gray patina. (Are more "Pine" and "chestnut.") Are the major elements of it with trellis as in the oblique element seen. We wanted it but, rather, is for greater privacy protection.
Here again a closer shot:
Here again a closer shot:
What is the price läppert total are all the things which one needs in addition to elements such as poles, anchors, screws, paint ... Since you will be amazed after actually not bad when you hear the total price. That is, if we see land soon, with a long range view protection elements, then know this: Here to stay millionaires. ;)
The attentive viewer will have noticed, that we have a lot of barren trees in the garden currently . Not entirely voluntary, I can say.

blog readers who have been here longer and have a good memory recall, perhaps because that due to the fact that our land in the so-called Inside is "some" stipulations regarding the planting to compensate for the impervious area have . And therefore also a lot of pulling your leg with the competent authority or competent, but slightly confused lady. It has in fact happy with the time wasted land parcels, construction projects or made confused statements on our current planning application just said when we were already moved ... I got the e-mails just read it again. Meanwhile, I laugh about it to me a biscuit. In that situation, we naturally wanted some like to be aggressive. ;)
Briefly state the testimony: first
The sealed Area shall only be compensated by native vegetation. (At least we got this list, what is that exactly the view of that authority.)
second For native trees when using this with a distance of 6-7 meters apart planted counted each 40 square feet. For every native shrub 1.5 m².
third Non-native plants, no matter how many and how beautiful, are not counted.
Just so short we can say: The local plant was once so not that what we had planned in our original garden design.
And it is then the long form of say, will: Various versions of the eventual planting. But it was among other things, that our dear landscaping farmer was somewhat confused and in the meantime, for example, repeated again in a pear tree plan emerged, which we absolutely do not want to have. :) Overall we had
a sealed area of 278 m² compensate . So we had not, "zuzustrauchen" our garden completely, we decided fairly quickly for planting a few trees. Most native trees but then dropped off directly, because we do not want him in the garden, which would eventually be up to 20-40 m high . Also, if for 20 years and go more into the country . Would Therefore, our choice was then finally primarily to various fruit trees, which are only 5-6 m high droll. And have the pleasant side effect that you have to bite even more. Respectively. can come to the farm shop. :) Somehow, the ruble roll yes. Decided
we have for this 5 Fruit trees :
-
Malus "Freiherr von Berlepsch (apple) - Malus" Biesterfeld Renette "(apple)
- ; Prunus "Great Black Knorpelkirsche" (sweet cherry)
- Prunus "Hedelfinger giant cherries (sweet cherry)
- Prunus" Hauszwetsche "(plum)
For Freiherr von Berlepsch apple we decided that since it had very high vitamin C content has . He is picked in October and can be eaten until March.
So the apple does:

The Biesterfeld Renette is very resistant and supporting his rich, with very juicy apples and sweet wines. It is harvested in September and can be eaten until December.
Here it is:

The two types of cherries are harvested in July. The Great Black Knorpelkirsche tastes very sweet and very juicy, the giant cherry Hedelfinger more Sweet and sour. Both varieties promise a high yield and good fruit quality. Bon appetit. :)
The color is different. The cartilage is purple-black cherry ...

... the giant cherry on the other hand bright red.

The plums containing looks like a plum. :) You end September / early October will be harvested. From her we had only a tree because it can fertilize itself. Both apple and cherry varieties were accordingly selected so that they can be mutually reinforcing.
We also two tree-like Trees or large shrubs that are several meters high.
First, the cornel (Cornus mas), which is 3-5 m high, golden yellow flowers in spring and bears edible fruit with a high vitamin C content. can make even the fruit jam and liqueur. Cheers! ;)

Second, a medlar (Mespilus germanica). The medlar is bearing fruit that can be processed into juice, jelly, liqueur and wine. From May to June, it blooms white and is 2-6 m high.
This native to the Giants. Continue to be found in our garden all kinds of native bush ... er ... bushes.
Our running joke now:
Paddy (while watching a shrub): "What's that good?"
Rina: "A Stock"
We lack that is currently still the exact planting plan. At some point we lost track of version C, and some positions, our landscaping Bauer then probably also changed spontaneously, so unfortunately he is currently the only accurate picture. Some trees still hangs a sign, but that was it already.
From our calculation we know that we have also :

From our calculation we know that we have also :
- 3x maple (Acer campestre)
- 2x Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna)
- 5x Common Snowball (Viburnum opulus)
- 7x (Amelanchier ovalis)
- 5x privet (Ligustrum vulgare)
- 10x dogwood (Cornus sanguinea)
- 5x spindle tree (Euonymus europaea)
- 1x wayfaring tree (Viburnum lantana)
- 12x dog rose (Rosa canina)
= 50 indigenous Trees!
Among them are rather boring, of course, hedge copies, but also so nice, such as the snowballs , the large white ball shaped flowers and berries have to eat the birds like. They may be 4-5 meters high. Hi visibility and wind protection. :) The most native shrubs therefore are planted back to the field through to make it from this direction is not quite as strong blows. ;)
also Dogwood and Euonymus and rocks have pear fruit. I think we now have a bird's paradise! The fruits of Amelanchier and the dog rose are edible. The latter can Others also be reprocessed into liquor. * Hicks * Ok, you can also make tea from it. : D
most part we have in the native shrubs, if we take them even have to put those who flourish great and also a benefit for animals and humans have .
But that was only the need to say, wants: The garden is even further. Behind the house, 38 m ... waiting to be filled! And the garden is not at all so small. Others call it something all their garden. ;)
We come now to the much broader Reich, the non-native plants . What I've always wanted was a ornamental cherry . Also, I was always impressed by trees with drooping branches. All the more enthusiastic I was when I found something that combines both - the Japanese hanging cherry cloves with the evocative botanical name Prunus serrulata 'Kiku-Zakura-Shidare ". Yeah! : D
standing in our front yard (aka the wetland) and will just look very beautiful when it blooms.

A pink dream girl in front of the kitchen window. :)
Currently only with a lot of imagination. ;)))
Furthermore, we fell into a ball Catalpa, also known as Catalpa bignonioides "Nana". Very decorative to look at and best of all: He makes a light scent that mosquitos do not like home.

third member of the non-native standard trees is another Amelanchier, Amelanchier the ballerina. It flowers silvery-white and she wears again berries that you can traverse the beautiful variety of things.
Even with the non-native, we have them still a number of other shrubs plant, namely, 1 each copy
- Japanese floor snowball (Viburnum plicatum "Mariesii)
- precious lilac (Syringa vulgaris" in memory of Ludwig Spaeth ')
- dwarf-scented lilac (Syringa meyeri 'Palibin)
- Hazel (Corylopsis pauciflora)
- Witch Hazel (Hamamelis mollis' Westerstede)
- mophead (Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle')
- Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata "Limelight")
- hydrangea (Hydrangea serrata 'Blue Bird ")
- Weigela (Weigela" Red Prince ")
- pearl bush / Kolkwitzias (Kolkwitzia amabilis)
- garden blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)
- Red Raspberry ( Rubus idaeus)
- yellow raspberry (Rubis idaeus) and
- 9x cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus "Etna")
= further 22 shrubs.
hard to believe when you see the current pictures, as many plants we have! The above bushes were again selected according to "Blooming great" or "I love berries. ;) Or. is the cherry laurel, of course, the blinds, because it is always green. Actually I was just generally not a fan of cherry laurel because he's too boring. The variety we have now is, however, a novelty, which is both very hardy (we had originally which the rear of the property, which had frozen to death) and also will have creamy white flower clusters 20 cm long! Thought it was nice to read: "cut makes him at all. He is even more dense than before. "Then, yes go wrong. :)
He's just could see, put in 2 groups of three before the two sides floor to ceiling windows next to our kitchen and the dining room table. And one more time next to the screens as an additional privacy protection.
Finally we were allowed one more time "to lend a hand." Our landscaping Bauer has distributed fact only a certain underlying layer of mulch us and we had even ordered a certain amount we wanted to distribute themselves in the beds . "Unfortunately," it was snowing so then only for a while and the bark had fulfilled his destiny in the front yard. had dragged on until mid-sized pile of the paddy in between after work already back.
last Sunday (12.12.) , ie at the third Sunday of Advent, the time had come: My hubby said that we must now ran down, because the snow was gone. Hurrah! As I was happy!
said than done: These two clusters had to be so for the first time still carried to the rear.

see in the picture after the out of nothing. Partly also because of the fact that the mulch in the garden-bed itself lies. But way!
Overall, we were working 3 hours in the garden until it was distributed nicely. The main problem was that our garden through the snow and the subsequent rain had completely silted . If you are not careful, it sometimes fell to just above the ankle entirely. Long live the rubber boots!
The transport of mulch to the respective position in the garden turned out to be even a little more difficult. We do have a very practical garden trolleys , but eventually gave it to Paddy then to take this through the mud because he simply did not progress properly. And it's really a few feet up all the way back in our garden. So he then finally shoveled the mulch in a garden waste sack , hoisted it on his back and brought me the material. I bought it at distributed good. And hey, that was exhausting enough! Especially since it was just too cold. We were packed thick, but gradually felt the 2-3 ° C, it was more like "refreshing" minus degrees of .
is now but first to the spring of peace. Unless the weed bugs me so much that I take occasional back disengagement. Have already some "green suspects" seen. From the gravel surface of the log cabin I have removed almost everything on Sunday. Fortunately, the weed was not durchgewurzelt namely, that it went pretty easy.
Ah yes, a mole, we have already discovered. All great! We have to watch again. I hope it will disappear just like that. Otherwise I am a vegetarian slightly in conflict, what should I do with the animals. ;) Does Time will tell Let's hope the best!
By the way: grass we have not yet, but a lawn mower. ;) in time for winter, so many traders sell their goods cheaper, so we then have struck. And although at a retailer, not in the hardware store. Become
it is a petrol engine by Weibang. Because of the long garden, we had no interest in cable. He has all sorts of amenities. I personally have the "Rabbit vs. Turtle " most pleased with the choosing the speed. ;))
The spring can come in every way!
PS have to this day the way we still have no land line again today ... should someone come from the telecom, but nothing there. Ok, maybe we'll push it then once again weather today! Petra bad storm. : P It is a magenta nightmare!
