Peak of Dahlia After days of rain, time to clean the garden again Tools are ready Much better Also time to cut back strawberries The earlier compost heap :lol: I will transplant the pumpkin into the greenhouse, let potato stay there, and forget about the tomato. Let's call it a day, and...

Peach Jam, sooo delicious! Tomatoes - i picked some and left them in the greenhouse as it will rain a lot this week, much higher risk for them

Table flowers for today

Some rescues can be pretty productive -- two miniature roses from another discounter, 30% off. Simple preparation - soil (yes, dug out by a diligent mole) , compost, some slow release fertilizer, perlite, and vermiculite Usually, they pack 4-5 rooted stems in one pot and create such a full...

Some rescue are easier - from time to time, there will be free plants that Lidl puts outside and whoever wants them can bring back. Last year, we brought back two moth orchids, and they are doing mega well in our living room - tons and tons of flowers from July till now. This year, the first...

The plums, nashi pears, and peaches are so tasty! The fruit trees are still young and I am reluctant to thin fruits - so they are not that big. However, they made my 'foraging in the garden' much more wonderful. I will absolutely take even better care of those lovely trees.

First of all, scallion It's difficult to keep them alive on the shelf, so most of the time, they will go to the 50% discount about one hour before the discounters close. Why not? I will cut 1.5-2" for regrow I usually store most of them in the freezer. Then, they regrow. You can enjoy...

I’d like to share some stories about plants I’ve “rescued” from discount corners or managed to re-grow in different ways. It’s a bit late today, so I’ll just open the thread now — tomorrow I’ll start posting about scallions, moth orchids, and Inca lilies. Feel free to share your own lovely...
