Just finished #planting about 60 cherry tomato seedlings in starter trays. The seedlings spouse and I grew from seeds that we took out of cherry tomatoes bought from the store. The trays were made using cardboard and plastic that were set aside to recycle. So this endeavor has only used trash aside from a bag of soil, which was left over from a #gardening project last year.
Please send your best wishes to these small leafy children. May they grow large and strong and give many tomatoes.

I always struggled with tomatoes - or should I say the tomatoes struggled with me :) And then I accidentally dropped a tomato with some kitchen scraps on a raised bed and forgot about it. A few weeks later the most resistent, resilient badass tomato plants of all times appeared there =D So yes, this works even in continental climates.

Garlic has been planted and tucked snugly beneath some hay for the winter. 48 cloves planted! Had to buy a few bulbs this year to supplement the harvest for planting, but hoping this year to have a good enough harvest to be self sufficient!

Vegetable beds are doing great.
Remaining lettuce in the greenhouse is keeping company with tomatoes.
Paprikas, broccoli, and cauliflower are thriving.
Remaining spinach is being used for smoothies while the next generation has been seeded.
Carrot and parsnips are doing great. No need for me to buy greens for sup anymore
In outer beds lattice, carrot, and strawberries are thriving.
Peas came out nicely, leek and beetroot as well.
Cats ruined carrots and parsnips planted in the big bed so I replanted in raised bed where I can more easily protect it.
Waiting to plant broad beans, cucumbers, and squash.
A new tool for the #marketgarden made mostly from workshop scraps: A wide #rake to mark drills for #sowing and #planting.
Originally, I wanted to use the metal rake in the first picture for this, but the angle of the pins was just not right.
So I made one from two pieces of batten, a handle bought (as a hoe) from a discounter for 7€, some wood dowels and a bit of hose.
My beds are 80cm wide so the distance between the outer pins is 70cm. This way, I have 5cm to the edges on each side.
There is a total of nine pins. Depending on the number of pieces of hose I put on, I can mark up to nine rows on the bed in one go.
The bed has to be flat though, but here the metal rake comes handy.
7€ and 1 1/4h work - I'm pretty chuffed.

last weekend I set out to buy some flowers for the winter for the window seats. I decided to go with heather because it's the only plant that can sustain the winter in pots, so I have read.
But last year I had pansies in pots outside the door and they did oaky. It's too early here to buy pansies, and I was too late this year to seed them myself.
This in the pot are the pansies that seeded themselves from a last year's pansies that lasted almost the whole summer this year, and we're placed around the corner. How did the seed get all the way to those pots I do not know
I will be buying pansies in a week or two, and I have few more heather's to plant as well.
This beautiful red Persian violet survived 2 years in my bedroom and then I decided to plant it outside this spring. It took nicely on the east side in the rose bed and is blossoming now. I will see how she will survive the winter giving the fact that we are having warmer winters.
Anyway, looking forward to planting pansies to put on the stairs into the house.
Hallo new arrivals, let me show you your new home.
*runs off halfway through the potting process to buy new soil*
We planted a number of Australian native trees and shrubs today, some as street trees.
Among them, Blueberry Ash (Elaeocarpus Prima Donna) also known as native quandong, and Mallee Gum (Eucalyptus Honey Pots). Both are pollinator magnets and attract wildlife. Bees arrived immediately, followed by a sweet chorus of local native birds.
I replanted lettuce and leek today. Some i outer bed and some in the pots to replant outside later.
I didn't have the heart to throw anything so I planted wherever I could.
Herb bed got some bigger lettuce as well
