I come home after a two-week vacation expecting to find a shriveled zucchini, but instead I find this. 🥰

One tomato is growing upside down, another one is sticking out its tongue 🤥 And the eggplants 🍆 are finally growing 🤗

Today’s harvest was worth it once again. Since there are so many beets (Tondo di Chiogga), I went ahead and made some preserves. I harvested the dried pods of the fava beans for seeds, but I also fou…

Hi, what do you recommend? Which variety of spinach should I sow right now? Kohlrabi and beets are out—I have space again. But I'm not sure which variety won't bolt right away.

It's the first day of school again... The school garden has really flourished over the summer break!

I wouldn't have thought the tomatoes would feel so at home among the cut flowers in the mortar buckets 😁

Hey there 🤩 I'm really excited, so I just had to share this: Of course, my seed tray doesn't fit in the fridge. But I can't get the temperature down to 5–8 degrees anywhere right now… so I tried usi…

What has been your experience with clay watering cones? I’m not sure if I find them very practical. They kind of get in the way when I’m working in the garden beds, and having to bend over to fill t…

That’s another thing I love about gardening: making room for new things… So what should we sow or plant in the greenhouse now, in early August? I was thinking of carrots, spinach, winter purslane, e…

Dried berries on the bush. The coneflower is struggling. But the mallow isn't bothered much by the drought. The first potato berry I've consciously noticed.

Here we go. Abundance, cornucopia....

My #SummerKitchen Part 16 ➡️ POLENTA ⬅️ ...Whether Miraculix would have stirred polenta in his copper cauldron if the Gauls had known about corn is a question best left unanswered...After all, the In…

Baby Melon :)!!!

@Tree Tomato or @Tamarillo. Does anyone here have experience with this plant or grow them in their garden? I grew three from seed this year, and apparently they don’t bloom until their second year. T…

Now I'm going to post a few plants that have impressed me this year...

Today I harvested my second pointed cabbage. This time from the garden. It’s more compact, but this year the leaves are also firmer and more flavorful. I’m glad I don’t have any white cabbage. The b…

Oh man, it's been forever since I last checked in😅 Yesterday was a jam-making marathon with my automatic jam maker—it's a great machine, and the supply just keeps coming.🙏😂 Love to everyone🌞

I've never seen a live mole before today—until today. I took it to a safe spot; I hope it pulls through—it was bleeding a little from the back...

Today's harvest. I think I'll make a coconut risotto with vegetables today 😋

What courage! I accidentally washed it with my work pants two weeks ago, just found it...it deserves a chance! Let's keep our fingers crossed for it 🤞

Good morning friends

This photo was taken in early summer. My question for you: It’s August now. How are you handling the strawberry runners? I’d like to start a new bed, but I’m dreading the heat. Have you already plant…

Photo taken from the window on the first floor.

The program now includes the entry "dead." Do we use that when the area has been harvested, or is it only used when something has been damaged or eaten?

#shoppinginthegarden We just harvested this year's crop of onions. Red Baron, Stuttgarter Riesen, and Sturon. I'm happy. 😇 Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!

Hello👨🏼‍🌾 Here are a few photos of our garden again after such a long time. Considering that I don’t have too much time this year because of my vocational training, I’m really happy with how thing…

Then, out of the blue, the flea beetles showed up. I harvested my mutant cauliflower and the evergreen cabbage. The red cabbage has been under a fine net for quite some time now. I’m going to dust th…

I harvested a little bit this morning. The neighbors were happy.

Last night, we sampled the first ripe tomatoes from some of this year’s varieties. We enjoyed them with a cheese platter featuring the last figs from our first harvest. Of the tomatoes, we liked the …

My tomatoes, which are connected to the irrigation system, are really thriving in this year’s weather. Normally, I’m already dealing with brown rot at this time of year. This year, not a trace of it.…

Does anyone know what's going on here? This is my first year growing the "Bunte Zwerge" bell peppers. The plants look great and are producing plenty of fruit. At some point, the peppers turn a reddis…

#RiceBug, #StripedBug I have a question for you: Last year, I had tons of these cute, voracious little rice bug pests in my garden and had to collect a huge number of them. The winter wasn’t extreme…

I harvested and bundled the onions yesterday

Update! The #blackbird can already manage without Ellis. #Appleberries are ripe!

The little melons 🍉 are growing (5 potential watermelons); only the sugar melon isn't setting any fruit 😔

Tapas again! These beans are new to my repertoire and are now a staple!!! Some of my pimientos were a bit spicier this time, but it wasn't too bad—I actually found it even more interesting!😋

After we had made braised cucumbers and honey-mustard pickles today, we had a cucumber-bell pepper pizza for lunch. It was nice and crispy, and the cucumber pieces were nice and fruity, but not water…
