The Most Awesome Cottage Garden in the Histowy of the World! And it appears to be in Germany! (You are undone, Oh Blighty!) Ughhhh, too bad I cant read any of the text! The gardener also appears to be a youngish feller!  www.edelbrandbrennerei.at/page8.php

You're right, no other word for it but awesome.
So many flowers I've never seen except in flower catalogues and books! I've never seen a freckled violet, the Queen of the Night black tulip or edelweis. Extraordinary.
He also has a rare female ginger cat!

Well, its certaily a rare brownish ginger cat! Hahahah! And how do you know its a girl?? Its not wearing a bra. [Edit: Ooops, I jest saw the ginger kitty. Although I still dont know how you saw its femaleity.]  Does this guy have a plan? Or does he just throw his bulbs & seedlings every which way and they grow on the spot? Maybe its that garden crucifix! Theres a lot of those in German gardens, complete wid that little wooden shelter thingie. I think I'll put one up. [PLite calls carpenter Mr Goosen and asks him to build a little house for PLites upcoming garden crucifix.] Hurmmmm .... where to get something large enough ... [PLite eyes Pigsnies ginormous ivory crucifix from the Philippines ....]  |

Although I still dont know how you saw its femaleity.] Because of genetic anomaly, the gene for orange-toned cats is almost always gender differentiated into ginger for males and tortoiseshell for females. So when you see a ginger cat it's likely to be male. The rare reversals of tortoiseshell males and ginger females are usually sterile. |

Hmm, our lawn is becoming smaller as I carve it into beds for vegetables and fruit trees. It wasn't that big to start with. It'd be fantastic to be able to plant a daisy heart shape. |

Try dandylions. Those nasties will grow whether you like them or not. Personally, I would make the Cerne Giant on my lawn using vinca and then call the Royal Air Force to take a piccie.  |

Dandelions grow too big and tall and I have millions of those I'm forever pulling out of my lawn and beds.
You might need a hedge of vinca to be seen from the air!

Have you ever had Dandelion salad? I have and it's actually pretty good. Note the Dandelions must be picked young (long before they flower), and make sure no chemicals or weed repellents were sprayed in the area.

I search & destroy weeds, not eat them. I have only had them in salad once. I didn't make the salad either. I also search and destroy the weeds.. |
