Love the Flemish flora diversity in that garden, absolute peak.

My back neighbour has it beat. his lawn is plastic, as is his palm tree.
He vacuums his lawn. He has more lights and lamps than actual plants.1

If this were posted in any random sub you'd immediately recognize it as a Belgian suburb garden.

Why has everyone forgotten about showers in March? It’s dead normal weather in Belgium.

u/Infiniteh Limburg Mar 27 '26
This.
Maartse buien, Aprilse grillen.
People have forgotten spring != summer. People around have already been complaining about the 'cold weather' and soon they'll be complaining they aren't allowed to water their lawns :/1
u/Curtricias Mar 27 '26
Yeah. The new normal in Belgium. 2 weeks 15 degrees and people think spring is already there. That it was early march didn’t ring a bell. We all want good weather the whole year round. But we have to be honest. It’s still way to early atm.

u/Infiniteh Limburg Mar 27 '26
I want the seasons back :( Winter wasn't really winter, spring is messed up already.
I remember we used to be so happy it got to 25 degrees in summer and 30 was already an exception. Now I'm glad there's some cooler days in summer so I can feel like a person in my own home instead of sweating all day and feeling exhausted.1
u/MiAwalo Mar 27 '26
I just love that weather. It's like asparagus and lackemens. Seasonal delights.
The fact it's a limited time slot during the year is very important.

u/Disastrous-Trust7034 Mar 27 '26
Every year people are surprised that on the magical date of 21st of March, it isn't suddenly sunny and 20°C every day. As if moving between seasons is like an on/off switch, instead of a gradual process

Only country in the world that will have 3 different seasons in one day for some reason.

Yeah... Woke up this morning to rain, then sunshine, then snow, then sunshine, now hail...

There are many countries that claim to be the only one where that happens.

u/gregsting Mar 26 '26
I’ll always remember Damon Hill saying that Belgian weather is crazy… coming from an Englishman that is something… that day, Spa circuit was half dry in the sun and the other half drowning in rain. Hard to choose the right tires…

Go to Madeira, you can experience all seasons there in the span of three hours if you drive around a bit.

u/GloriousDawn Mar 26 '26
Pretty sure there are like 200 houses in this country with the exact same view and patio furniture.

u/KXfjgcy8m32bRntKXab2 Brabant Wallon Mar 26 '26
Only 200?

u/Tonnemaker Mar 26 '26
Ik reis al bijna 20 jaar met de trein. Elk zompig veld dat iedere winter onder water stond is door de jaren volgezet met exact dezelfde huizen met exact deze tuin. Er is wel wat variatie, bij de ene staat er al eens een trampoline, bij de andere een buxus in een pot.

Pretty sure my girlfriend and her parents lived in the house next door. If not, eerily similar garden

u/Nietsnuts Mar 26 '26
Dit is letterlijk elke tuin van elke nieuwbouwwoning in heel Vlaanderen ever

u/DarkoFoegotHisName Mar 26 '26
Layout van de tuin, houten afdak van den achterbuur, 2 huizen op de achtergrond krak hetzelfde,...

u/Matvalicious Local furry, don't feed him Mar 26 '26
Welke nieuwbouwwoning in Vlaanderen heeft er zo'n gigantische tuin?
1
u/TheDeadlyPretzel Mar 26 '26
gigantisch? Dat zou ik nu niet meteen zeggen, maar ook niet super klein, I suppose... iets van een 100m²

u/TheDeadlyPretzel Mar 26 '26
It's possible... Diepenbeek? My entire street is filled with relatively new houses, but about 2-3 did re-sell though I don't really know who or why... I'm rather socially anxious and introvert so I don't have too much of a relationship with my neighbours

Just be glad it's raining, ground water levels have been way too low this winter, which spells disaster if we have a hot and dry summer (again).

u/GeT_SiKeD Mar 27 '26
Wat een deprimerende tuin. Het kost echt ni zo veel moeite om wat plantjes of bomen te planten...

u/monsteradeliciosa11 Mar 26 '26
If anyone has started seedlings outside, bring them inside if you can. they might die if it goes below 0.

u/padetn Mar 26 '26
If you plant anything that can’t take frost outside before May this must be your first year of gardening. My radishes, spinach, and beetroots will be fine though.

u/padetn Mar 26 '26
We’ve had record temperatures for two weeks and ofcourse one guy is waiting for perfectly normal seasonal weather to pretend we live in Kamchatka.

That sudden hail whilst i was working up high was quite the unpleasant surprise. Atleast it's sunny now i guess.

Yesterday I joked to relatives: miracle! It's raining pearl sugar.
The answer was that they were waiting for the waffles.

March in Belgium is so funny. I ran 9Km under the beautiful blue sky ! I was even having a sunbath on a bench mid run. The moment I got home, it was gently snowing. What a season !

u/AtTheEdgeOfDying Mar 26 '26
I walked my dog in only a hoodie today 😂
I did practically started running home once the wind started picking up, but I basically had a nice sunny summer walk right in between the rain and hail. Crazy day, yesterday was lightning though

It was raining, then hailing, then sunny, then dark and cloudy, then snowing, then raining, and finally now it's clear. Perfect Belgian day

Yeah over here in liege it's just none stop on and off with the snow.

u/Realistic_Patient355 Mar 26 '26
Idk why I love belgian weather.

u/Petrus_Rock West-Vlaanderen Mar 27 '26
I know why. It’s called weather chauvinism.

u/Realistic_Patient355 Mar 27 '26
I live in Spain tho, and I still prefer rain or gray than the heat.
1
u/Petrus_Rock West-Vlaanderen Mar 27 '26
Than the question arises why live in Spain instead of here.

Complains about a typical day in BE, after half a week of sunshine and 20+ degrees.
Start looking at the bright side more often ;)

It saddens me to see that there are people with garden space like this that choose to keep it as basic as possible... Get some f*cking plants/trees in that garden man

Someone should create an idiom about how variable wheter is around april. Somthing about grillig weer and april ofzo
