Also, additional to my chili: 4 Kg of walnuts: Bucketloads of potatoes, literally: Biggest potato I found (and I have big hands): Also it is shaped like a mouse fetus. #

Giant Ambush Beetle You grew the walnuts? In Austria? I'm very impressed with your haul Farmer Bee. Thank you. Its just a hobby, I also grow lots of strawberries, plums and beans of all kinds. My walnut tree is very old, sometimes it does not grow a single nut for 1-2 years and then suddenly it explodes with nuts. I already harvested a couple kilos of walnuts, now approx 4 kg and there is still easily 5 times that much still hanging on its limbs. Also it looks most amazing when the leaves change color in autumn. I'll post some photos when that happens.

Growing produce is hard though, I've tried and getting it to the point of harvest can be very difficult. I'm super impressed with what you and Beerfish are able to grow. And yes, I'll look forward to the pics!

No doubt, the raspberry plant in my garden did well last year but not a berry this year after all the heat. I tried various greens but they'd always be attacked. My kale plants were eaten by caterpillars last year. In the end I gave up and decided to just watch the little guys grow. I won't use pesticides so that makes it harder. Now I'm having more success with microgreens. I can grow them indoors, they're more nutritious, and you pick them before they can fail. Also it allows me to have a little, often, instead of a big harvest all at once. Not that I ever got a big harvest.

Also it allows me to have a little, often, instead of a big harvest all at once. Not that I ever got a big harvest. The heat can be problematic, depending on the plant they can go into survival mode and not produce any fruits at all, others get blossoms but because of the heat pollination is shut down, chili is famous for that, temperatures above 38c for a couple weeks and half the harvest is gone. Some plants even produce toxins when in stress and make the fruits toxic, last year an elderly couple died because they ate zucchinis from their garden that became toxic because of the heat, its really something to be aware of. (Always taste those fruits before you cook them, if they are unusually bitter thats a sign of them having become toxic. Cooking them will remove the bitter taste but not the toxins!) Micro greens are pretty awesome too, and totally underrated, I love the small pot of chive I have in my kitchen, its tastes wonderfully on bread with butter and cheese. And it grows back in no time! You could also give cherry tomatoes a try, those tiny tomato plants do really well indoors and are basically immune to lice and other pests. They just need a sunny place and good soil.

But I didn't grow any edible pumpkins this year, I missed the planting window due to being very ill and in the hospital at that time. Which is quite a bummer, I grow a species of pumpkin called ''Sweet Dumpling'' that is extremely tasty filled with minced meat. One of the best tasting meals I know. Very demanding fragile plant though, at least according to my experiences.

I started growing microgreens recently and I'm slowly building up the plants to a point where I can eat them regularly. Why microgreens? The young leaves have more nutrients and are easy to grow indoors, without having to move them outside and deal with the weather and pests. From left to right - watercress, kale, more kale, pea shoots (ready to harvest and add to a meal raw, they taste like freshly popped peas), watercress, even more kale (sorry Beerfish) and then kale again, with coriander/cilantro and cress out of shot. The cress keeps failing but everything else does well. I can keep picking and regrowing it all, adding a few seeds here and there as the plants die, then occasionally throwing out the soil and starting a fresh batch. If you want to give it a try it's really easy, but read up a little first. You need the right kind of seeds for example.

Thats a nice little assortment of microgreens, ArcadiaGrey . What I can totally suggest is a little pot of French sorrel, it tastes totally different from what you'd expect from a little leaf. Its like an exotic sweet fruit crossed with strawberry and tomatoes. First time I tasted it I was like WHAAAAT!?

Wwe had extremely stormy weather on Monday and sadly my willow tree did not survive the ordeal The tree doctors that were over today think though that the tree might survive after having cut off all its branches and covering the not broken roots/evening the soil. Crossing my fingers it will survive and grow new branches.

I have gambled and almost finished planting my garden. It's a tad early to be doing so, thus I am counting in 'global warming' to prevent frost.
I have done all of the big garden plot. I am not that satisfied with my effort as I made the rows too far apart, really needed space for at least two more rows. My planing was also bad in that I planted what are supposed to be large sized pumpkins but i have them in the least sunny row of the garden.
I have one large long planter to plant with cucumbers and lettuce and some small boxes to out some small onions in.
I will buy and plant tomatos in my other large long planter later this week.
I am going to pretty the yard up a bit this year as well with a few hanging baskets as well. Probably petunias or panseys. I will decide when I go to buy them tomorrow.

I will get my seedlings from my mom this year. I just need so thing to prevent aphid invasion. Sttawberries and paprika/chilis are very vulnerable. It seems that everything overwintered pretty good. Some roses might have died but that is quite normal. I got them on sale late in the summer and they weren't in such a good condition to begin with. Blueberry bushes did great, I can see plenty of flower buds. Cherry will be blossoming like crazy soon. Raspberry bush needs cleaning asap. It is my favorite time of the year again

I purchased two hanging baskets which I will hang from my garage (big $, well at least it seemed expensive.) I purchased some petunias to put in ground pots. I purchased my 8 tomato plants, 5 beefsteak, one mini tomato, one yellow in colour have no idea what they are and one roma type, (not romas but they look similar.) I then at the last moment purchased two hot pepper plants that I will put in pots as I loved the look of the great peppers Ambush Beetle had last year.

It looks like my cherry tree survived! My elderberries and chokeberries are finally old enough to flower. I'm growing peppers, carrots, and melons this year, if it will stop raining long enough to get them in the ground. The people who did our pavers dumped a ton of sand in our planting bed and killed off my spirea and all of my mint, which sucks but think how much better the soil will drain, now. :/
