This left side of front yard, time to evolve. It belongs to our neighbor, but she said I can handle that (like previous owners). Earlier last month, I have already transformed the right half into a VIP table for the cafe customers (of course, also ourselves). This corner receives sunlight...

trimming and trimming

So far, my favorite Peony variety 'Pastelegance' :love

Bobo dug a hole so I can plant something else....XD

Only 1 type of Basil this year :lol: I got one pot from Lidl, pinched the tops, and then seperated into 14 pots, each has 2-4 plants :D

I didn't sow any salad green this spring, but I got some from Lidl (with roots, i guess they were from greenhouse + hydroponics). I harvested the outer leaves and then transplanted them. Later on, I also got some seedlings from Aldi - so I have about two dozens of salad plants now - in...

After some hours of cleaning, the big pond area look nice again, can't wait to enjoy the quiet morning in another couple of hours. Azalea and Rhododendron are about to blossom. The first Lupin this year, the pink ones Flowers for the tables outside the café A lot of mints - i use them for...

oh, i didn't have any coffee yet till now~ The lunch service hours (12-14) is over, I will make a iced coffee later and drink in the garden! Running a tiny neighborhood Café is an interesting and meaningful job, I love it. Today's Almond tart with peach and blueberry inside~ Two whipped...

snapdragons+1 In my area, they can be taken as perennials, even in pots. As long as I cut them back short, with or without mulch are both fine. Besides, they self-seed, too. I love snapdragon and pansy - sow once, and basically they will stay for years. For some bulbs or tubers - if cleaning...

Most of our azaleas are blossoming earlier than Rhododendrons, here is one we transplanted from the old flower bed - originally, it's behind a much larger Rhododendron and can't get sufficient resources. Now, it is doing well in a large pot.

Today, I cleaned half of our west-facing garden - majorly, mowing, trimming, and weeding. From a dull, waterlogged lawn to a vibrant, biodiverse planting zone – this area has come a long way over the past few years, gradually developing into a lush and lively sanctuary. Designed with a dense...

After a few hours work, half of the pond area looks nice again. I removed some Iris and made this spot a maple corner now

About to have my second coffee now. I made some lovely bread from two different doughs - black sesame and peanut, even a few duo-color croissants. The creation process is interesting, and the final result is delicious - the most important, my customers love them. :D Last night, we had a sudden...

Relocated some nice looking 'weeds' - forget me not, yellow archangel, and feverfew Yellow archangel looks great, but after some time, they will become troubles for the azalee plants. A container is a better platform for them. The yellow and blue combination show a harmonious spring color...

Another two sunny and warm weeks are coming, time to speed up the gardening work. But first, breakfast and harvesting! The purple broccoli is ready to the table, dreamlike. Homegrown premium food Oh, look at them, self-seeded and sprouted lettuces from the plants I let flower last year...

Congratulation! 🌷 🌷 🌷 and Happy Birthday to you all.

Somehow interesting, this sitting area didn't exist 24 hours ago yet. :D I added a small branch over the bucket, easier for birds to access to the water. It's so great to have breakfast in the morning light. I also arranged the table flowers here, so cozy. The first set of customers who...

Sunrise Seats ❤️

DH helps me re-do the front yard - first of all, he brought me the homemade compost, full of earthworms :love Love our compost~~ I washed the bucket, moved it from the main garden to our small front yard, and re-stationed it in the center of a plastic compost ring. Water lily and Iris...
