gardening and some happy crops

In ultimele zile am avut parte de vreme grea : ploaie multa, vint puternic. Intr-una din dimineti, surpriza neplacuta in mica mea gradina : vintul a dezvelit micutul solar de peste rosii...acum mi-e teama ca dupa o noapte intreaga de ploaie rece si vint se vor imbolnavi...doar in timp vom afla raspunsul.

Last days we had some very bad weather : heavy rain and strong winds. One morning I found a great and unpleasant surprise in my little garden : the wind over night tear down the tunnel above tomatoes. Now I'm afraid that after a whole night of cold rain and wind they will get sick. Just in time will have the answer....



O prietena m-a intrebat ce soi de rosii am de sunt asa de "goale" , adica fara frunze...ei bine, nu e nici un soi special, frunzele le raresc eu insumi pentru a avea o productie mai mare de fructe...las doar citeva, atit cit sa circule seva cu putere in planta. Aceasta in loc sa hraneasca frunzele , hraneste fructele....si sunt extraordinar de dulci si zemoase....pe jos vedeti frunze de tataneasa pe post de ingrasamint natural . Dealtfel singurul ingrasamint pe care l-am folosit anul acesta in toata gradina...urmarea ???hmm...imediat vedeti in pozele urmatoare ;)

A friend of mine asked what kind of tomatoes did I have that they are so leaves-naked...well, it isn't any fancy specimen. I , myself, cut the leaves off, leaving just a few so that the inner juice of the plant can flow in force. This way the "juice" feed the fruits and not the leaves...adding extra sweetnes to them. On the ground you can see some comfrey leaves decomposing...it is the only fertilizer that I use in my whole garden. Why ??...hmmm...you'll see in the next photos. ;)


ei bine, aceasta este o mica parte de recolta dintr-un strat...am facut curatenie in stratul cu usturoi si capsuni ( pentru ca eu aplic metoda "plantelor companion" ) unde din greseala mea s-au strecurat citiva cartofi...amestecati , albi-rosii. Se vede clar din poza ca anul acesta nu ma pot mindri deloc cu usturoiul, nu a fost saminta de calitate...in schimb cu cartofii...ce ziceti ??

well, this is a small part of one raised bed crop...I clean the strawberry and garlic bed ( because I use the plant companion gardening method) where by my mistake a few potatoes were slept in...white and red so that the mistake to be complete LOL. You can clearly see from the picture that this year I'm not at all proud with my garlic, the seed was very low quality...but the potatoes....hmmm...what do you say ?


si o poza explicativa : din stinga in dreapta, clasati dupa marime: "monstruletzul" de cartof urias, un cartof "normal" si unul mic.

And a very explicite photo : left to right, according to the size : the "little" monster ( huge) , a normal one and a small one.


Am mai plantat un rind de castraveti de vara si citeva de spanac...anul acesta am avut mare ghinion cu spanacul incepind din primavara...sper ca de data asta sa mearga....

I did sow a line of summer cucumbers and a few of spinach...this year I had bad luck with the spinach since spring....hopefully this time works.


si un coltisor "inflorit"...dovlecei ;).
and a zuchini "flowered" corner ;).


Mai sunt inca citeva luni intregi tocmai bune pentru gradinarit...in fiecare an invat din greselile proprii...si in gradinarit ;). Cum e gradina voastra ?? :)

There are a few long month quite appropriate for gardening....every year I learn from my own mistakes....even in gardening ;).
How's your garden ?? :)

  1. Frumoase roade! Gradina ta este minunata acum la mijlocul sezonului, totul arata foarte luxuriant si delicios. Sper sa ai noroc cu spanacul de toamna.

  3. Gradina ta arata grozav de bine! Eu sunt in primul an de gradinarit si chiar nu prea m-am priceput. Mi-a iesit frumos patrunjelul( mararul nu prea), ceapa, leusteanul, dovleceii si capsunii. In rest, nu prea am avut succes. Vorba ta, poate anul viitor invat din greselile de acum.
