Seems a weird ordinance. Was there a rabbit pest problem in the past? I've heard guinea pigs are good eating too! :D

In the greenhouse I do need to trim plants almost every week to keep it light in there. A few always get to grow at the top and manage to spread on the top bars and get to a length of 12ft. Without trimming it would be a jungle especially because there is a peach tree in there too!

@digitS' I'm growing most of my tomatoes in the greenhouse hence the confusion. Every year I try a few plants outside, but they succumb to the cold, wet wetter most years before I get any harvest in. Last year was the first year they did great because it was such dry, hot weather. I found the...

My farm name is: Prairie Chicken Gardens :D

Do you grow them outside? So far I've grown them only in the greenhouse, because that's how we always did it. We grow them only for fresh eating, are they good that way? We normally grow only 3 vines.

That terminology was a very unlucky choice, Climate Change is a better wording, since it says better what it is. More extremes either way, hotter, colder, wetter, more storms etc. Either way it's not normal what is happening now, there were a ton of weather records last year.

I have grown them 4-5 times so far, had successes and failures. Still not sure what works best, I plant them outside in May-June or even July. Good luck bay!

I'm not sure if I told anything about it here, I know I did on Facebook so I'll just do it here too. In the summer of 2016 my mom had a professional trim back the 40 year-old oak that was too close to the house. Later it turned out that he killed the tree, it's in a bad shape now. I took a dozen...

Wow this takes some skill, determination and knowledge of plants! http://canyouactually.com/dude-spent-6-months-recreating-a-van-gogh-painting-using-plants-in-a-1-2-acre-field/?fbclid=IwAR2uRGVKU3NbPlM4pX7g0j5bA5kjQUFtK3PvWEFazo25PiTQDDn4Ce0uyB0

Good score and good riddance! :thumbsup

Got some great help from my youngest brother, so it went pretty fast. He drove the woodchips to the apple trees and I to the garden. Used them on most paths. Still need to do the path along the moddersloot (ditch). Even had time to water the greenhouse with my 5 year old nephew, good times! My...

I remember from the last time they raised the streets 15-20 years ago, that the municipality provided sand and soil to raise gardens and paths. Don't know if this was free for everybody though. Me and my friends wheelbarrowed many loads of sand in one of our friends garden. It went up almost 2...

I love tomatoes, but 30 varieties takes a lot of time. I'm moving in April and the new place needs renovating, so less time for gardening. I save my own seeds so we can trade when I have more time. Now it's getting hectic, were getting the keys in 2 weeks!

This is my tomato list for this year, downscaling from 30 varieties last year: Ananas Noir Chuckloma* Cow’s Tit Etoile Blanche d'Anvers Green Zebra...

There are parts nearby that are 13 ft below sea level. I think 22 ft is the lowest in Holland. I'ts actually getting lower each year because the land is slowly sinking. There are no plans to raise the area, as it is impossible to do so. They do raise streets up every decade or so but this brings...

@valley ranch Yeah it's roughly 6 feet below sea level.

@Collector I'm not there yet! Still haven't finished the work bench, and done very little in the new garden. My tomatoes are coming up, need to replant them this weekend. Really low on time with preparations for moving and making choices fir the house .

Got some work to do this weekend...
