It's been a while since I've written about my veggiegardenexperiment (nice scrabbleword!).
I've got a big amount of pictures for you. Some a big surprise, some sort of a big failure, but that's why it's an experiment. Next year I'm, obviously, changing some things...
Here we go:
Corn, only two seeds came up. I don't know what the thing in the front is, but it doesn't look like all the other weeds, so I'm leaving it where it is. |
Currant, infested with aphids. Trying a natural repellant/ killer, using tomato leaves, I found on Pinterest tomorrow. |
Grape. Not much to say, just happy it rooted. |
Green peppers, same story as the chillies. Very surprised! |
Herbs. Left basket: Mint, parsley and chives. All doing very well. Right basket: Oregano: doing well, dill: almost dead. Basil: dead... A while already... |
Close up of the caterpillars, can you see the little buggers? Trying a natural repellant/killer, using garlic, I found on Pinterest tomorrow. |
Scallions, not a big succes yet, maybe if I disperse them, they will be a succes. |
Full of these: huge clusters of cherrytomatoes. I'm already dreaming of loads of red, yummy, sweet tomatoes. Of making fresh Pastasauce and Tomatoketchup, Jamie-style... |
Appletree, we've planted it this year, it has had three flower and it's growing three really tiny apples. It's also infested with aphids. |
Strawberries. Loads of them. Under the appletree. |
What you didn't see in these pictures:
- The carrots that failed miserably, because I sowed them "under" the tomato-plants.
- The radishes I already harvested and were all kinds of weird shapes... :D
- Last years strawberryplants that didn't survive.
- The spinach which I still plan to test-sow in a pot, just to see how much space I'll need for that next year.
- The mulberry-trees. I actually have Mulberries, but I don't know what to do with them, so if anyone has idea's... Tell me..! Please...
As you can guess, I'm over the moon with my garden (which also has a lot of non-vegetable-or-fruit-plants in it).
Love, Caroline
