There aren't that many plants in our new garden yet.

My colorful flowers 🥰

🥬🥬 Lettuce Lettuce Lettuce Lettuce 🥬🥬 My little daughter has (finally!) discovered leafy greens this year and eats almost everything she can harvest from the garden herself. To add a little more …

My very first stress fracture—and of course, it had to happen right now. It’s really getting on my nerves. Luckily, my husband and son are helping me out a lot. All the tomatoes in the greenhouse ha…

These are the remains of our little lemon tree 😢 Spider mites struck over the winter—I first tried home remedies and then Neudorff—it didn't work 🤷‍♀️ Now I'll probably have to throw it away. I’m…

The Sweet Horizont sugar snap pea has much thicker pods…but it stayed very small as it grew 💚

Sweet peas are actually marker peas 😅, so I don't pick all the pods. But they're tender and delicious 💚, and they're easy to spot because they're yellow 💛

Can you prune broom back, and will it grow back? It's gotten way too tall 🙈💚

What do you put in your compost? Do you add (organic) banana peels or citrus peels? Cardboard? Eggshells?

Aren't they beautiful?

It doesn't look neat or professional, but it's growing somehow. Slow but steady growth, following the trial-and-error approach.

Since our (rescued) elderberry tree has decided to be a #walnut tree after all, we’re looking for a new home (starting in September) for our little tree—given how much it’s expected to grow. So if a…

These are a few of our raised beds. 1.20 m x 16 m

After the weekend, a lovely mix of peas, colorful radishes, colorful strawberries, and—what else?—asparagus Image 4: After a small harvest, the asparagus patch was closed up again for later 🤭 Ima…

A dream for the future: this space, heated and enclosed as a greenhouse 😍 (Currently just a pavilion for the summer festival…)

Strawberries after a week away 😃🍓

#seedexchangepackage2026 I’ve topped off the seeds a bit, and the package will be on its way tomorrow morning to bring more diversity to the next gardens... 🌼🍅🌶️🥦🫐🌱🌳💌 @Vive_Laterre The pack…

I quickly harvested some snails—er, vegetables—after a long while. I hadn’t been in the garden for five days, it rained a bit, and those pests ate all the lettuce and basil in one of my beds. In my c…

The #weather's a bit gloomy, but it's gradually clearing up 🙏 #Allotment

...A bit of geeky talk about #grapevines, Part 2 ...I recently wrote a bit about #grapevinebloom, remember? ...it was about #flower buds, pollination, and so on... ...Today, a few days have passed; t…

I have a question: my Swiss chard and the beet leaves have these big, brown, wilted spots. Is this a disease, or is it really just sunburn caused by water splashing from watering?

Redesigning your garden is definitely worth it! The number of insects and other small creatures has skyrocketed!

A question for the community: My winter peas in the raised bed had powdery mildew. I’ve gotten rid of them now. What can I grow in that empty space? Is the powdery mildew in the soil? Do I need to do…

Simply beautiful...

I work as a vegetable gardener at a farm where we do a lot of market gardening. I recently started a small personal project. I’m trying out the classic compost bed technique from Marie at Wurzelwerk …

I harvested all the winter peas yesterday and today so the bell peppers could finally be planted in the raised bed. I hope they really take off now! And no, those aren’t anti-snail collars—they’re a…

I think the first kohlrabi are ready to be harvested… then the tomato plant behind them will have more room to grow…

More germinated seeds in polytunnel Is it better to just plants seeds outside now ?

Exciting discoveries in my garden. It looks like something has made a home in my layered onions. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice it until after I’d harvested them. Could it have been the wild bees I s…

We’ve got another bountiful harvest in our community garden. This is our first time growing pak choi this year! I never would have thought it would grow so big. The horse manure we added last fall re…

While picking chamomile flowers, I found these eggs. Who on earth lays their eggs there?

My perennial physalis has black spots on its leaves this year. I’ve fertilized it with tomato fertilizer, but the spots haven’t gone away. What else could I do to help the plant? The other issue is a…

I'm really enjoying my beautiful roses today 🌹

Unfortunately, the snails have been feasting on my zucchini 😅 During the dry spell, they were doing just fine because the snails couldn't even make it to the plants. Now that it’s raining, they’ve a…

Once again, I'm not sure which shoot to remove. The one on the left actually looks like a sucker, but the one on the right is so much smaller. What would you do?

How do you take beautiful garden photos? Hi everyone, it’s me again. I’m totally blown away by all the greenery and blooms in my garden right now. I think it looks absolutely amazing this year—I feel…

Summer has begun...
