Garden stuff

Today has been a truly warm sunny day, and I did a whole lot of things in our garden. First off, I raked and cleaned off the patch with the spring onions, and found some rucola growing underneath of all the crap! The I planted a bougainvillea in a pot that I placed in one of my twig bunnies. I also sowed some flower seeds to pots and the clay pot.

Our spinach is growing nicely, and at least one of the aubergines has sprouted. The biggest tulip has opened.

The neighbor's cherry tree is producing flowers, but isn't quite blooming yet.

 

Garden work

Finally we got around to do some garden work. We planted basil, zucchini, aubergines, dill, parsley, beans, rucola, salad and spinach seeds in boxes. A whole lot of herbs, tomato and chili plants etc. are on the shopping list, probably getting some plants instead of seeds again later on. And we were thinking of getting some flower seeds this year too.

 

 

Chives are already growing nicely by the sunny wall, but I cleaned the pot and added some new seeds there today. I also cleaned and turned the dirt in the bean pots, and planted those beans where they were growing last summer too. Otherwise the sunny wall is still all old pots waiting to be cleaned out and re-planted. And the bunnies are waiting for some of those flower seeds ;)

 

Spring onions will be ready for harvest here soon!

 

Things growing

Zucchini plants are getting bigger and bigger and have started yo grow zucchinis.

Spinach in the box is doing much better than that on the hill ever did (it started to groq flowers before there were reallyany usable leaves) and yesterday we made our first spinach salad out of our own box.

Beans and sugar peas are seemingly happy.

Basil is soon big enough to contribute to our meals.

Our garden in early June

A heatwave has been caressing our garden these past days. Eggplant has its first flower, several tomatoes are growing, there's 14 chilis on the medina, and everything is growing right before our eyes.

Basil, oregano, spinach and dill

Zucchini, cucumber, peas and beans

Our bhut jolokia seems to be a bit tiny and is not growing taller all that fast, but it does have some flower buds already too!

Doin' some gardening

It was raining in the morning and it started raining again some time in the afternoon, but we got a good couple huors of garden work in in between. We transplanted our basils and zucchinis and green pepper, and planted some more dill and spinach - my husband finally revealed that the mystery crop there was spinach - and some beans and sweet peas.

The "mystery crop", turned out to be spinach
