Reporting progress on the garden.
🇬🇧 I had planted most of the tomatoes outside in spring. I have already reported about my tomatoes in previous posts. They grew very well and produced something between 20 and 30 kg of tomatoes at the end. Unfortunately, the first autumn storm knocked over the tomato plants and also knocked over the supporting structure.… Continue reading Tomato comparison (fun facts)
🇬🇧 I just noticed that I have already built my new greenhouse in April, but I have hardly reported about my favorite place so far. Now the greenhouse has accompanied me for a summer and deserves to be introduced. Greenhouse attached to the shed. The grass is still brown from the summer drought. The greenhouse… Continue reading Greenhouse
🇬🇧 That's too bad! I had put so much hope in the pear tree. It was overflowing with small pears, but the late frost in spring made almost all of the small fruits fall off. Three pears have remained and have made themselves really splendid over the summer. One pear had suddenly disappeared, the second… Continue reading No pears for me this year.
🇬🇧 Already some days ago I sowed salad again. This time, however, I sowed much less than in spring, since this salad will not be planted outside. I am still impressed how many plants can be grown from such a small seed tray. Both I and my chicken friends still like a crisp lettuce leaf… Continue reading Salad for fall

🇬🇧 "Even in pre-Christian times, sacrificial and harvest festivals were celebrated in the various religions and cultures. People were aware that a good harvest was not in their hands alone and accordingly honored nature" (Source, German). I can agree with this statement especially this year with all my heart. I am grateful for everything that… Continue reading Erntedankfest / Harvest festival / Thanksgiving
🇬🇧 The tomato plants were tiny when I put them in the border. Everyone told me to be prepared for the fact that without protection from wind and rain, tomatoes probably won't grow as well as in with and won't carry as many tomatoes. So I did not expect too much growth, and also not… Continue reading The massive weight of Cherry Tomatoes
🇬🇧 Small and delicate, the pumpkin plants have begun. Now they are so big that they have taken the place of rhubarb. It's a good thing that the rhubarb was harvested for this year and is no longer growing so much. Pumpkin Development The plants of the Hokkaido pumpkin had somewhat difficulties. Of three plants… Continue reading Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumkins!
🇬🇧 Maybe some of you can still remember that in mid-May I sowed edible flowers in a part of the kitchen garden. Meanwhile the plants are large and carry flowers. But I will not eat them. They serve me - as originally planned - as a bee pasture. That works quite well, so far. As… Continue reading Bee pasture
