Picked the pears today. They’ll be left to ripen a bit more now. Harvested windfall apples, parsnips, tomatoes, strawberries, Swiss chard, cucumbers, and zucchini again. The beans are growing well, …

Do you happen to know what happened to this oil squash? Was it eaten by bugs, did it rot, or did it burst open? Should I go ahead and harvest it?

Hi, I'm curious how you'd take care of this plant (Dessert King fig) if it were yours and not mine 😜. It was planted 4–5 years ago and produced its first small crop last year. This past spring, the …

XXL Travel Tomato for 25 Days 🤣🤣🤣🍅😵‍💫🥴

Some carrots have been harvested, but not all of them are good.

We were just #shoppinginthegarden This year’s first sweet corn looks good. The tomatoes are starting to ripen. We’re already making passata....😅 I picked up some crisp, dry beans. I’ll store them d…

I'm looking for seeds of the @bush bean "Gusty" for next year. They used to carry them at Pötschke's Garden Center. But they've closed down. This bean variety is just fantastic.

➡️ PASTA WITH BORAGE ⬅️ ...Cooking with @borretsch today It’s perhaps best known as one of the herbs in Frankfurt’s “Grie Soß’,” but it’s less well-known as a leafy vegetable similar to spinach. And…

Hi everyone, Does anyone here know what kind of caterpillar this is? Best regards, Edda

The farmer was happy to receive my 5 Zeppelin cucumbers for his chickens and gave me 20 eggs from his young hens in exchange. Bartering just like in the old days 😄

Pak choi is growing in the potato patch. Just like that—it must have set seed last year 😃

Good morning ☀️

...1) ...I guess that was my main tomato harvest for this season 🤷... A few stragglers are still to come, but that’s about it...No new fruits had developed beyond the third fruit cluster, and the lo…

Small 🤭 tomato harvest today (Harzfeuer, Hellfrucht, Dattelwein, White Pulm, Gelbe Johannisbeere, Mörchenmonster, Green Zebra, Resi, Sweetie) I harvested my two eggplants yesterday. I find it reall…

A dark, shadowy corner behind the rhododendron. I'm looking for a pretty, snail-resistant groundcover....

I was actually planning to harvest tomatoes … but my garden is now producing Halloween decorations! 😂🎃🍅

I like big tomatos and I cannot lie!

NO DIG in loamy-clay soil... Nantaise2/Milan variety.

We had a nice harvest today, and a few guests joined us as well 😊 Common toad and willow borer

Finally, a nice kohlrabi for Kohlgaby :)

#Luc, are those meadow mushrooms?

#Tomatoes in the outdoor jungle! I’d already pruned them by the bucketful this spring... and there are lots of surprises, because last year I simply collected seeds from the plants (mostly the yellow…

...just loading up the dehydrator... (2nd batch) 🤷 ...#myLigurianFig

I loved this as a kid 😄 Spot the difference 😄 There are at least 5 little animals hiding in there. So, did you find them?

One more question: Could it be that the zucchini are slowing down their growth because the nights are getting so cool again? My two plants have had five tiny ones on them for over a week now—despite…

Snake gourd boats with two different fillings. They were really delicious. 😋

What do you actually do with the collected flower seeds to get rid of all the little twigs and flower remnants? And if I want to use the cilantro as a spice, is it already too dark? Or do you wash th…

Can anyone tell me what #disease my #zucchini has? Is it some kind of mosaic virus?

A quick look at this year's harvest. We definitely have enough cucumbers to last the whole year. We've processed an estimated 30 kg so far.

Eggplant and bell pepper plants tied to branches for support. Bought 10 plants to create a hedge for birds and insects. Spindle tree, blackthorn, hawthorn, guelder rose, and elderberry. 🐦 🐦‍⬛🐝🕸…

This year, I planted exactly 0.0 nasturtiums 🤭 Even between the bamboo and the Chinese silver grass 😅

With my vacation just around the corner, the first tomatoes are finally ripening. I can't wait to harvest them in 1.5 weeks 😍😋

Zapotec Ananas Ribbed – a tomato with more curves than allowed! 😂🍅

What a crazy summer…

Here's a question for the end of the season—which, hopefully, is still a little ways off. What do you do with the plants in the greenhouse? Do you put them in the compost, just leave them lying on th…

We got right to work processing them, since #wildmirabelleplums spoil quickly. Bring them to a boil, and once they’re nice and mushy, run them through the spaetzle grater. It’s faster than using a fo…
