Der Spruch „April, April, der macht was er will“ bewahrheitet sich jedes Jahr aufs Neue.<\/p>\n

We have a saying here that goes „April, April does what „he“ wants“, in other words, this months is unpredictable. And this is true, every year again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Die Vegetation ist, im Vergleich zum aussergw\u00f6hnlichen Fr\u00fchling vom letzten Jahr, etwas im Hintertreffen. Wir hatten zwischendurch immer wieder mal sehr kalte Tage, auch mit Schnee und viel Regen. Gartenarbeit kam viel zu wenig zum Zuge (man sieht es auch!).<\/p>\n

This year’s vegetation is a little delayed compared to last Spring when April was really an outstanding, almost summer month. The last weeks were marked with a lot of cold, sometimes snowy but most of all very rainy days. There wasn’t a lot of gardening outside (and this is visible now!).

In diesem Jahr besuchte ich wieder einmal die gr\u00f6sste Gartenmesse in unserem Land, die Giardina. Ein Event in dem es um G\u00e4rten und Garten Life-Style ging. Letzteres wurde ausgiebig zelebriert mit Gartenm\u00f6beln, Outdoor-K\u00fcchen, Pools usw. Die sogenannten „G\u00e4rten“ hingegen interessierten mich und da haben G\u00e4rtner eine grosse Leistung gezeigt. Rechtzeitig f\u00fcr die vier Ausstellungstage erbl\u00fchten hunderte von Blumen und Str\u00e4ucher, sch\u00f6n arrangiert. Im Gew\u00fchl der vielen Besucher und in Anbetracht des k\u00fcnstlichen Lichts, war es schwer Stimmungsbilder einzufangen. Deshalb nur ein paar – leider schlechte – Schnappsch\u00fcsse.<\/p>\n

Spring also means gardenfairs. I visited the biggest one we actually have in our country, „Giardina“ in Zurich. It’s every year and an event about gardening and garden life-style. You could see there almost everything with regard to furnitures for gardens, outdoor-kitchens, pools etc. However, I was looking for „gardens“ and here I could see some very good presentations of nurseries. A lot of flowers and blooming shrubs and trees were arranged and prepared just for this exhibition of four days. It was very crowded everywhere and the artificial light wasn’t so favourable to make good snapshots. So here just a few of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oberes Bild ein weisser Garten und Dekost\u00e4nde durften nat\u00fcrlich auch nicht fehlen.<\/p>\n

Of course you could see a „white garden“ too and everywhere decoration articles. <\/span><\/p>\n

In meinem Garten sind die Helleboren nun am Verbl\u00fchen, wobei sie noch immer attraktiv aussehen.<\/p>\n

In my garden the hellebores are beginning to fade but still at this level they look quite attractive. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"dscn9796.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eine Traubenhyazinthensorte die etwas sp\u00e4ter bl\u00fcht als die allgemein bekannte und auch nicht so stark wuchert (leider, ich h\u00e4tte gerne mehr davon!).<\/p>\n

A sort of a muscari, which blooms a little later than the wellknown „usual“ sort. It isn’t invasive and for once that’s a pity, as I’d like to have some more of them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Der Pflaumen-, wie auch der Zwetschgenbaum hatten ihre Bl\u00fcte. Leider war der Anblick nur von kurzer Dauer, da es oft und intensiv regnete.<\/p>\n

My plumtree as well as my damson tree were blooming. Unfortunately the blossoming only lasted for a very short time due to the continuing and intense rain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Auch wenn im April-Garten oft vieles auf dem Kopf stand, so ist eines doch gewiss, er wird langsam wieder bunt und die kommenden Monate verheissen viel Sch\u00f6nes!<\/p>\n

Even April was a little „upside down“ month for me, one thing is certain: slowly the garden is getting all its wonderful colours back, i.e. the coming months are full of promises. <\/span><\/p>\n

Die Gartenarbeit hat mich wieder fest im Griff. Es gilt nun langsam die verschiedenen Gartenr\u00e4ume wieder „urbar“ zu machen….oft kein leichtes Unterfangen, wenn man es alleine macht.<\/p>\n

Actually I’m very busy with gardening as I have to cultivate and weed again the various garden-rooms… not an easy task when doing it alone.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
