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


The 2nd of September 

 
5nd of September : Minou is playing 'hide and seek' ;-)

So to be continued  ! 

ps : my favorite kitchengardenprogramm and gardener you can watch here
