You have gardeners, Walter? Surprised

This must be a BIG yard!

My yard (front & back) is small, really, but maintaining it is hours of work! (Great therapy, but pretty tiring when there's a back-log of jobs!)

We = the five owners of the condonioms (flats) - have engaged the gardeners (we live in the biggest aprtment under the roof, 140 m², ... for rent!), coming here (and to other gardens in the neighbourhood, any 3, 4 weeks.

The garden is actually rather small, though:

Ah, that makes sense! You are all busy people & as a result of hiring a gardener you have an over-all gardening plan that works! (I would love a job like that!)

Actaully, there's only one "real" gardener: all done as 'work therapy' by disabled persons from a psychiatric clinic.

That's really nice, Walter.

When I arranged that, my prime argument towards the various owners, however, was that they are cheaper Laughing

Well, that might have been your argument, Walter, but I seriously suspect your motivation was a bit different to that. :wink:

Here's the look of late summer out back at my place:

Slowly taking on a sheared look. Emphasis on the word slowly.

Well, my geranias didn't look good after all that hot, rainy and then warm/hot weather.

And since my wife wants the balcony to look nice when her comes to stay with us a couple of days ...

So I planted a couple of "autumn-winter" plants some weeks earlier than usually

Three of those - only. Still a lot of asterns and chrysanthemum in various pots.

But Calluna actually is a really pretty flower, especially, when you look closer at them

She's on her absolute last leg. A few flowers left but I've stopped watering, letting nature do her thing.

This year's autumn look, as of yesterday. The leaves are dropping quickly,and although the color peaked today, the tree's more than half bare now.

neko, that photo could have been taken on my property.

Were you that strange person with the camera yesterday?

I once had a nice yard. Then I got - - - THE DOG. All I got left are cacti, acacias, and a few rose bushes. And most of the banana trees.

Wasn't me, Gus -- coulda been some INS guy looking for illegal groundskeepers.

Pretty much the same next door, ed; dogs and flowerbeds seem to be mutually exclusive. Is it an expensive dog -- like, the neighbors are stuck with a high-end Weimaraner, or something similar. Lady says she won't even try for a garden. Nice polka-dotted patch of grass,though.

Hey as of yesterday I have a garden, too.
Been too busy moving to really see what it looks like, though!

Here's how the garden looked this morning, as grey and dark a December one as you'll ever see. But if you click on the photo, you'll get a look at a promise of a good show of flowers, by the darkened buds, on the small lilac bush I've been pruning back for a number of years and left alone for the last two.

Last year it showed a flower near the bottom:

Anticipating a good year for the garden come spring...
