My carrot-to-top ratio this year was definitely GREEN! I just turned the tops into a Mojo Verde! It worked great. Serve it with Canarian potatoes and I’m happy. Otherwise, the sauce also goes great w…

I was actually looking forward to a bountiful grape harvest, but my excitement has been somewhat dampened: Just like last year, the plant with the most grapes has developed a fungal infection. Anothe…

...one of the coolest vegetables ever! 🤩 ...Who knows it? 🤔

...highly recommended: mixed leaf lettuce @pfluecksalatmischungmesclun-42195 🤩🤩🤩 ...Admittedly, I didn’t keep track, but based on my best guess, I was able to harvest 6 cuts over the course of 2 m…

All my plants curly up , crispy leaf

Oops, looks like "someone" missed the harvest... 😅 Good news: now I can collect seeds from the cucumber. 🫡

Tree Pit Update After "Rainy Days" Somehow a zucchini must have found its way in there—it’s a shallow-rooted plant, so hopefully it’s okay. I’ll probably have to remove it soon 😔🤣🤭 The lungwort…

Hi, everyone! I'm about to get to work, but first—some coffee, fruit from my own garden, and this one too, bathed in sunshine today…

No-dig carrots in heavy soil. Nantaise 2 variety. They were planted in a row between the onions, but the onions have since been harvested.

My wife is in southern Germany right now and says everything is super green—really dark green—and even the corn is growing 😭

First big tomato harvest—yay!!🐞 So far, the melon just tastes like cucumber—I was too impatient…😃

A question for the experts: How can I tell when it's time to harvest the #melon?

Finally, another good year for #tomatoes after last year was so disappointing ☺️

Hi 😀 What's in that jar of sour cherries? 🤔 In Photo 1 Hint—it’s not expired cherry juice, and anyone who follows my posts might already know. I’ll reveal the answer tomorrow evening. What’s mun…

...Today I pickled my first batch of cucumbers! ...I’ll admit, I use that cheap store-bought cucumber brine—but I like the taste, anyway...😋...I just went ahead and used my tiny garlic cloves—which …

New arrivals for the cactus prison 🥹 After three weeks of -18 degrees in February, even my most hardy cacti didn't make it 😰

My first melons—let's see if they'll ripen. @pieldesapo-260417, @sweetsiberian-108980 The first tomatoes are ripening @idagold @blackkrim-11133 @blackplum-35981 Thai chili Finger eggplant @tarim-43…

I planted seeds of this variety of pickling cucumbers. They're growing well, but the cucumbers taste bitter, even though they're advertised as being completely bitter-free. They're getting enough wat…

Hi there, A question for the collective wisdom 🙄 Over the past few weeks, I’ve been using non-woven fabric as sun protection to keep my vegetables from getting sunburned. One of them is now full of…

...My Summer Kitchen, Part 10 ... ...Pollofino Air Fryer, Kohlrabi or Swiss Chard with Whole-Grain Bulgur, Thai Zucchini Salad, Zucchini Hummus, Tzatziki... Garnish: the first Venus breast 😋 Cut the…

Managed to make it over the pass today despite the navigation system failing 😅

A little garlic. A little oxheart lettuce, a little cucumber, a potato hiding in the horseradish bed... and lots of gardening joy😃🥰

There really are still places with lots of wild blackberry bushes. I just didn't have enough bags with me. But I ended up with 900 grams of fruit pulp without seeds or pits, and I'll be making jam to…

I took advantage of the rainy weather today and pickled the cucumbers in jars. I'm curious to see how they'll taste in 6 weeks... I haven't tried either variety yet. @schlangengurketelegraphimproved-…

This year, too, the pumpkin has to grow over the rose arch again. The first one is already so heavy that I have to take some of the weight off the plant. So I just caught it with a net :)

My garden is finally starting to turn green, and it feels so good! The zucchini and cucumber harvest has begun.

My first raw beetroot with apple. And something to feast your eyes on 😋

This is my first time growing a nutmeg squash (Futsu Black), and I don't know much about it: is a shriveled, lumpy little thing like this normal for a young squash? It feels firm to the touch.

I'm getting a bountiful tomato harvest, and the pumpkins aren't letting me down either.

That's pretty much what I look like when I eat fries with mayonnaise 😅 #kleckermax

These two here are growing like crazy. We've already harvested the Swiss chard four times… With bush basil, it feels like a bee party every day

...as we all know, everything's better with music 🎷 😆 ...probably the last kohlrabi of the season... ...I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday...👋

Is blossom end rot contagious, and what can I do about it?

My absolute favorite plant right now: wormwood. I planted it in the spring as a fan of Hildegard von Bingen—I wanted to make my own wormwood wine. And I didn’t even consider for a moment that this pl…

This time, the apple harvest is a little bigger.....

This year I planted quite a few vegetables in #pots—lots of #tomatoes and #cucumbers as usual, but also some new treasures I’ve never grown before: - #physalis (absolutely amazing—nothing like those …

Hi everyone, this is my first time growing broccoli sprouts in a raised bed, and after bravely defending them against the cabbage white butterfly, I’m now unsure when I can start harvesting and exact…

Today I'm going on a diet and eating just one potato 😆 The harvest from each plant, minus the one that was eaten by the yellow bugs. I guess I'll have to pull them all out if the millipedes, woodlic…

Just popped over to the garden for a quick look—and what can I say? I guess I came at a bad time… 🤭 Carrots in love, or something like that 🥕💚🥕

The first beans...with a special feature....

When we bought a fridge for the sauna. My husband: "Aljona, this is ONLY for drinks, fruit, and fish—nothing else!!!!" Me: "Of course!!!!" How naive is he!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love harvesting❤️

Funky sunflower. That's how I feel sometimes, too 🥴

Something refreshing for a Sunday afternoon, made with fruit from the garden. 😋

Where on earth is the admiral’s proboscis? You’d at least expect to see it rolled up, right? I’ve photographed it over and over, but it’s never unrolled it. It looks pretty battered anyway—it’s proba…

First harvest basket this summer 💚

I quickly harvested some beets today before the rain started. 🥰 They make a delicious salad with onions and a clove of garlic.

Melon production has begun... and they're blooming, too...

Hi, this year both rabbits and deer are eating all the flowering plants in my garden (roses, stonecrops, evening primroses, etc.). I do have tall fences on three sides of the garden, but one side is …

Back home 💚 and I'm so lucky to have such a kind neighbor who takes care of my plants ☺️ but you can tell from the garden just how bad the drought is…. No rain for weeks, just heat
