My blueberries got buds! Peas and kapucijners in rain gutters.

Been busy yesterday with old hay for the garden. My plan was to bring it to the new garden to mulch and suffocate the grass. The trailer I borrowed was quite small so I had a change of plan. Next time I need a bigger one to make it worth the 2x 50 minute drive. It took me 5 trips to get the...

Spring is here!

It's spring alright

Another great hijack in one of @majorcatfish's threads! :rainbowflower For almost 2 weeks it's spring here, way too early for the time of year. Big risk if I would start sowing/planting now despite of the nice weather. A frost in march or april is not uncommon, could even happen in may. I'm...

That sheep is not doing it's job!

It's pre-summer here, 60F, sunny, terraces are full, collegues going home early. I'm dressed for winter and sweating like a pig.

So I didn't order any new seeds, and didn't buy them in a seedstore that I've visited this week. Still managed to get new seeds! Won 2 varieties of eggplant in a Facebook group. Thai Long Green + Red China Eggplant Red china looks cool!

Did you have to drive far to pick up the package? A friend of mine had to drive 25 minutes for a package that should fit in his post box. Logically he wasn't too happy about it and let then send it back.

I'm almost afraid to tell about the wonderful weather we've had today. After a month of grey-ness, clowds, mist and rain, the sun came back like it's never been away! 50F and it felt like spring! :hide:celebrate

Has it bloomed yet?

This needs an update!

@digitS' Maggi is well known in Holland, I just looked it up and they started selling their products over here in 1895(!). They got quite a big range of seasonings in the supermarket. They are most well known for their bouillon blocks.

@margali Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed reading this history of the greenhouse and of my country. It also brought back memories from a previous job, where we restored one of those fruitwalls which were partly with attached coldframes. I even found the photos online:
