A tiny urban garden development (8 months)

Maybe it doesn't look like much (especially to my neighbours who probably think i am crazy) but i think it looks lovely.

My landlord wanted to trees gone. Now i got great sunshine in the morning but i noticed a lot less birds in my garden :/ Gotta work on that.

Nothing else to add, i just wanted someone else who understands my joy

Oh that's so cute, I love it!!

As long as the landlord doesn't mind and the neighbors don't kick up a fuss, go for it and make yourself happy!

If the neighbors come to resent the little garden, show them how to enjoy it with you. One way could be to plant host plants for butterflies. Who doesn't like butterflies?

Very nice! cute rhubarb, is that a toad pond or something in the first pic (looks like a pot made of terracotta?)
The birds may just be put off by the immediate work in your garden but they will be back. I agree, as soon as you have some flowers and bees and butterflies, etc etc everyone will come around, even if it is mud and mess at the beginning. Keep up the good work and let us know how it goes!

I can picture an espalier fruit tree in front of the wall at the top of the first picture with supporting plants like calendula, comfrey, oregano and borrage under it (just possibilities - depends on the type of fruit and your eco-system.)

I can picture a row of raspberry canes along the other wall. My raspberries attract both birds and bees and other insects and I've even found the odd tree frog hanging out in them. A row of mixed berry shrubs that you can keep pruned small, may also encourage the birds to return, so that's another possibility.  

As others have said, so long as you enjoy it, that's the most important bit!

Oh yes i didn't think of the butterflies, i planted lots of flowers and herbs but didn't check if they are butterfly friendly. Thanks for that idea.

No Tereza, it was just a weird plastic ... "bird bath"?! It now shields my compost from to much rain
One more factor might be our cats, i always fear one of them catching a bird.

Jay: I won't stay here that long (hopefully - need more garden space )
But i have a plum on the left side (nearly out of the picture with a comfrey under it) mainly so i can learn to prune fruit trees.
You got the right hunch with raspberrys. The wall at the top is south direction, so it get shaded. When we moved in i planted a raspberry which i saved from a farm i worked on. Although i thought it was not a good spot the raspberry is loving it. Pushing 4 new rods and lots of fruit. Probably the plant which gives me the most joy.

Thank you all

Some updates on the garden.

The pumpkin in the back is getting so enormous i pruned some vines because it became to much. Let's see how he will do on top of the garage.
Unfortunatly we had a lot of rain, which you maybe heard in the news: Big flooding in Germany.
Due to this rain most of my tomatoes have brown rot
But in comparison to the people how lost homes and even their life, my problem is a very small one.

I realize how hard it is to really tell the plants apart on photos.
I tried it with some different angles

I'm intentionally trying to get a squash to grow up my brooding cube and over the well shed in hopes of keeping it, a) out of reach of the deer and b) provide shade if I get another duck go broody. My well shed is short enough that picking won't be a problem!

It's amazing that with just a little planning, how much vertical growth you've managed in a relatively small space - well done! Sorry about the tomatoes. Feel free to send that rain over here - we've been in drought status since February and even with all the things I've done to make plants drought tolerant and resilient, I'm at the stage of irrigate or let them die.
