    Phaedra's Adventure

    From October, I took Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday as off-days for the cafe, so finally, I have much more time to go back and dive into the garden. As the summer this year is pretty rainy, most of the plants grow wonderfully. Several dahlias are pretty domesticated and need very low...

    My dear friends, happy international coffee day! My very first homemade pumpkin spice latte, just used the juice from a small Hokkaido pumpkin, sugar, and all spice to make the homemade pumpkin spice syrup. Then, I added some coffee beans into heavy cream to infuse the coffee aroma. Not as...

    Yes, it is also rare here in Germany. Some TV series I watched always mention pumpkin pie, I am so curious and can't wait to try. I will first try the pumpkin spice latte with homemade pumpkin syrup (those sold in international coffee chain stores are crxp :P), and later in Nov/Dec, I will do...

    Cut flower garden

    The flowers I cut two days ago and arranged for the tables in front of the cafe - I want to talk about the pollen-free sunflower - ProCut series. This year I grew White, Plum, and Red. They are wonderful choices, but their main flowers are gigantic and very difficult to use for any usual...

    Steve, this time, the okra surprises me, no, it shocks me! I will take a photo and you will understand. It grows like a tree.....oh my, I never know an okra can grow so huge.

    Phaedra's Adventure

    Oh, I didn't make a post for such a long time? Things are going fine, I just didn't have time to take a lot of photo every day in the garden. But the beauty is, while you were busy, plants just kept growing. We still have the critter issues, so a lot of potatoes are gone. Well, no time for...

    I am back, tomorrow (and Monday) are off days. Let me share some food offered in the cafe recently. Lemon and melon roll - It's a delightful surprise – the contrast between sweetness and acidity makes the tasting experience unique, and the fragrance of fresh lemon zest adds another layer of...

    I cut some flowers for decorating the tables in front of my cafe. Sweet Williams from seeds - the color is amazing! I can't stop thinking, as biennials, they will offer more generous flowers next year, right? The final results - I am confident that my cafe is the only cafe in the surroundings...

    What did You do Right?

    I finally transplanted an okra in the greenhouse....and it's the first time I can harvest okras, and they are bigger than I expected! Now I know, okra loves super hot environment :lol: (or maybe they hate cold nights here in summer....). In the past few years, they just didn't survive, even I...

    Cut flower garden

    In fact, I didn't remember how many bouquets I arranged this year. The number didn't matter after you made a lot. :p With the shorter and shorter daylight hours, some plants are ready to blossom. I got some sweet williams, sea lavender, Echinacea, sweet peas, lupines, and hydrangea to replenish...
