Carrot and Apple Milk Toast

I made a stuffed cabbage rolls today, and we all love this dish - simple but scrumptious Tomatoes, eggs, minced meat, rice, cabbage, salt, garlic, water, cheese - all natural things, no artificial flavoring is needed. Dessert? Basque cheese cake, with only 6 ingredients: Cream cheese...

We have a lot of sunny and dry days recently, and hopefully, rain from the coming two days can be a little bit heavier. Most of the rain barrels reduced to half, and the recycling water is still a substantial supply (fruit trees got them majorly, 10-20L each time).

A day isn’t a verdict—it’s a mosaic. A collection of small moments, some warm, some thorny, some silent, some radiant. And you are the artist who chooses how to place those pieces.

The very first riped white mulberry this year.

I love my chamomiles - self-seeded, hand-picked, greenhouse-dried. So fragrant~

More berries! I made some black+red currant syrup today. It is special because all the black currant and gooseberry plants were propagated from cuttings in 2018 (from our neighbor's plants in Cologne). This is the first year we have a decent harvest - good enough for me to bring out the steam...

Day & Night Version

The last day of 5-day off, time flies. I finished most of the summer pruning and weeding, the rest should be done in another few days. Years ago I bought a black elderberry plant (Sambucus nigra ‘Black Lace’) - the flowers and foliage are both charming. Before I transplanted it, I removed some...

Time for rose

Homemade Pesto Then Pasta 🍝

A full-time gardener day - I guess I worked in the garden for at least 5 hours. I drank about 3L water, several cups of ice coffee, and half chilled melon :lol: Anyway, pruning, mowing, weeding, feeding, mulching -- all kinds of corners, all kinds of work and the reward? I ordered...

Harvested some chamomile and let dry in the greenhouse Roses, too Ugh, stall bread too --> later they will become bread crumbs, no waste~

I have 5-day off this week, and would like to take 5-day off every month from now on. As the weather is mild and lovely, I stayed in the garden for a couple of hours. First, I harvested scallion from the water feature bed. Just a few weeks time, this bed looks gorgeous already. For me, it's...

First strawberry harvest, about 1.5kg, and 150g wild strawberries :love Basils divided from the supermarket potted plants have many side shoots, so, round 1 is collected. Also some chamomile~

An overloaded arc, but splendid (some prune back is necessary at the end of the season)

Autumn/Winter vegetable and more french beans this week :D

I do not care what they will do next season, as I no longer expect them (especially hybrid varieties) to come back and treat them now as annual. After they die back, I pull them out and pile them in the wildlife garden corner. If they come back years later, that's gift. :)

Finally, peachhhhh~~~

With each passing year, as the garden flourishes in diversity, creating beautiful bouquets becomes ever more natural.
