Phaedra's 2021 Garden

[Zeedman]

@Zeedman ,

Take a look at her post on the Weather 2021 thread 😬.

That was my next stop after that post...

Was just glad to see her posting regardless.

@Phaedra Geiermann , glad to see you & your gardens made it through the storms OK. Did you have any damage?

Hi Zeedman, thanks a lot, we are lucky just some very slight damage, totally ok.

Collected some flowers

And also some beetroots, purple kale, broccoli, cucumber, berries, yesterday some potatoes and carrots, should be quite enough for these two days.

How large of a space do you have to grow all these beautiful flowers and vegetables?

 

[MattPaterson]

It should have been done differently.

The garden itself is about 1800sqm, but the real patches for flowers and vegetables are much smaller, one of the major reasons is -- the ground is totally not even So I chose two flatter areas to plant veggies, fruits and flowers.

Means?

Okay, flowers harvested yesterday are arranged.

A good thing: I just found my two fig trees are still alive! When I bought them last spring, they are marked with "frost hardy," but in fact staying outdoor during winter isn't suitable for them. I thought they are dead, but still wait for a last chance that their roots might survive, and they did.

This winter I will absolutely bring them back to the greenhouse.

Glad your fig trees are coming back out.
