I guess I interrupted someone while they were watering the plants 😉 and played a little voyeur. Well, I wonder if that gentleman will survive the rendezvous???? That’s quite a size difference.
...#my summer kitchen Part 20 ➡️ SWISS CHARD PIZZA ⬅️ ...this Swiss chard @gelberbuendner-11979 is perfect as a pizza topping! Paired with sheep’s or goat’s cheese—or Morbier from the Jura—it’s absol…
This year, my garden has EVERYTHING. From a total failure with the cucumbers to bolted lettuce and failed cauliflower, right on over to palm kale that defied the flea beetles, eager outdoor cucumbers…
My first attempt at collecting tomato seeds myself. Have they sprouted yet? Did I leave them in the water too long?
From the looks of it, this is powdery mildew. I would remove all the affected leaves right now and throw them in the trash. Can I still leave the butternut squashes on the plant, or should I pick the…
9 liters of homemade grape juice with a hint of real bourbon vanilla—the taste of our garden in a bottle.

My wasp spider caught a butterfly, and I realized it’s really hairy 🤭 And then today, “Coyote” Chayote moved out of the big garden again—into the backyard—and will soon be moving into the little gr…
Today, taking photos was a challenge because of the wind, so I ended up with a lot of rejects. But since there were a few new visitors to the garden, I have to post the better shots anyway: Photo 1: …
I think the birds are running low on resources, they came after my fig tree fruits which I don't mind to share, I get fresh figs every few days.
Today I harvested 2.2 kg of tomatoes and 2.8 kg of (shelled) corn. Our neighbors and family are thrilled. 😋 I’m going to cook the corn and vacuum-seal it. It’s my first time doing this—I hope everyt…
What do we have here?
Today marked the first major harvest from our @weintraubelakemont-260417 vine, which we planted two years ago. It bore a total of 103 grapes on a single vine. The 102 grapes harvested today weighed 9…
Hello, I planted my celery in a raised bed and several mortar tubs. Of my 11 tubers, 5 are still alive. One of them looks great, but the other 4 are wobbling suspiciously. The other 6 started out th…
I even managed to harvest some on the side. 🥰
It’s already so dry here again. And on top of that, there’s this constant wind. I took the time today to get my compost in order. For one thing, I turned it over, and I also needed some compost becau…
Week in Review 😄 Tomato sauce, pickled cucumbers, tomato chips, dried Peppapeach Stripey peppers, pickled butternut squash, apricot chutney, 5-color chili peppers to dry, salted blackberries (dried…
My sunflowers are blooming beautifully today. I harvested some church plums; I'll steam-juice them tonight.
What a crazy machine!!! #ananastomate
I've never planted rutabagas before. This is my first one 🥰 Do you have any great recipes for me?
Can I use the mini onions as planting onions next year, or will they bolt then?
Hello, fellow gardeners👨🏼🌾👩🌾. Here's a quick garden update from Admont, Styria, from late August. Best regards, Gregor🙋🏼
Well, I think the 'Giganto' tomato really lives up to its name 😊
I just love this time of year 😋😋
My 1.7 kg mini melon from yesterday—which sounded hollow but didn’t have a woody stem yet—was harvested today and was only slightly pale pink in a few spots 🥴🫣—but it was already edible. The min…
Hi, everyone What would you do with this tomato? Picture 1 is from today, Picture 2 is from a week ago. The foliage looks healthy. It’s growing in a semi-arid area, so it does get some rain now and …
Surprise—the “Winter Giant” spinach wasn’t supposed to look like this yet. Well, I’ve harvested it all now, and I’ll plant some more tomorrow. This batch will be frozen for the winter 🤭
Surprise! One (1) kiwi berry! Our first one......then some lettuce, #patron_bernhard—the one in the front is yours; it has smooth leaves. Finally planted the winter broccoli sprouts...
This year, more blue butterflies have been visiting our garden than I’ve ever seen before. Today, a female thistle blue butterfly once again feasted on the nectar of the alpine aster (Photos 1 and 2)…
Some of what I made today Dogwood cherry jam, dogwood cherry purée with Amarena cherries, tomatillo jam
What else can I plant now?#
Preparing raised garden using pallets, I will be using drip irrigation system, either by adding water regulator to the faucet, or just using a water storage tank. The harvested rocks and stones will …

Hi everyone, now the voles have even destroyed my eggplants... 😭 One of the plants has had green eggplants hanging on it for a long time now—does anyone know if this variety stays that way and if I …
...Really interesting: ...This year, the seeds have fermented much faster than usual...😳 ...some of them are even starting to sprout...🤷
#shoppinginthegarden My haul from today—there were even Siamese twins among the cucumbers
New to my selection—the “Pokusa” tomato. That means “temptation” or “allure”—what a name ☺️ Small, incredibly sweet, aromatic fruits that tempt you to snack on them right off the vine. Well-suited fo…
Question for the melon experts. My first melon (mango melon) has split open but isn't ripe yet. What should I do?
2 puzzle pictures for the weekend :)
Tomatoes are beautiful. A little bit of melted cheese. I ran out of patience. Linz-style fallen fruit dish. A savory fallen fruit dish with leeks. Could have used a little more seasoning. Giant radis…
The bell peppers, carrots, and mushrooms aren't from our garden (in theory, the first two could be, but not with this weather—first hot, then cool); everything else is homegrown—well, we don't have c…
Wasp spider 🐝 🕷️
#shoppinginthegarden Today I brought home my first Wamel (about 1.7 kg) and a mini-Wamel (36 g—the plant died because of the cold 🥶?) 🤩 as well as summer and winter leeks, beans, zucchini, tomatoe…
The second harvest of our figs is in full swing; we've already shared some with the preschool, friends, and relatives. We'll be drying a lot more over the weekend, too. It really feels like this is a…
I hope all the Swiss Frydlers made it through the storm more or less okay. It looked pretty bad... Hailstones up to 6 cm in diameter...
I have a question: My Hokkaido Red Kuri is producing a fruit, and shortly afterward it rots.
Here in the area between Ludwigsburg and Heilbronn, we had a major storm early this morning at 6:00 a.m. with large hail and thunder, and it happened again 30 minutes later. The garden looks pretty b…
I had to harvest some of my tomatoes early today. I hope a few more will ripen, so I've hung them upside down. This brings me to the following question: Should I leave the leaves on or remove them?
