Kitchen Garden Volkstuin update


  Actual state end of April.




The sjalots are doing fine! 



Plum-, pear-, and appleblossoms ... promising!


As a birthday present my husband received this ... doesn't look very appealing, and it smells not a all heavenly but with some patience and care this should turn into a breedingplace for shiitake mushrooms.

Today we tasted the first salad out of our kitchengarden@home!

The kitchen garden number 2

On the last day of 2012 we've got the good news that we could rent a small parcel of land to start growing a kitchen garden. 
This was the state in which we received it, still some unharvested vegetables and quite neglected.

 But no worries, we want to jump into this green adventure with both our feet.





The hubs started working in the garden every weekend and then it started to look like this : (it's all his work, I don't have the green fingers, but surely will have the pleasure of cooking and eating whatever comes out of that soil).



The virtual garden was made on computer during the period of snow we had.



Now the weather started to be a bit better, the vegetable beds were made.
Three trees are in the garden too, but we don't know yet what they will bring us; apples, pears or prunes maybe?



This was the actual state on sunday the 17th of February.


Catalogues are browsed to find the best seeds.

But .... kitchengarden number 1 needs to be taken care of too. Remember, that is the one we made in our own garden, before we knew we would get the soil in the allotment. 


Can't wait for spring to see the first seeds popping up.

Prospects for 2013 : the kitchengarden


summer 2012 left side of our tiny garden 
with some experiments already in pots : eg. gourgette, figs, laurel and many more herbs


summer 2012 right side of the garden 

We planned to make a kitchen garden for next summer.  We are on the waiting list for a gardenallotment, but it will at least take maybe 3 years to get our own spot, so we decided to get some experience and practice in our own garden already. 
Well ... we ... the hubs will do all the work, and I will prepare what will be 
harvested :-)


22nd of August : starting to remove the plants


Progress on 26th of August
