Garden Picdump: End of July 2025

in #lifelast month

No Journal

I did not log any of the planting and seeding and crop schedule or anything here publicly.
Without rain, I had to adapt and see what works...

These are just random photos; they don't document a process.
Just some impression from this years crop:

forgot the name of these...
Will plant more next year.


I am harvesting 1 zuccini per day right now.
Potatoes are ready to harvest right about now; already tried a few.

All the plots that are harvested get seeded with cover crops (flower mix).
In October, I'll plant large amounts of garlic.

That's it for now

Sort:  

Zinnias..

Looking good.

That rabbit looks more like a bird

Amigo muy productiva su siembra,así igual de rubros sembró mi esposo pero el sol ya hecho estragos porque las tiene contra el suelo todas las plantas,muy bonito su maíz ya está espigando y pronto comerá cachapa con el tierno,esperando vengan las lluvias para que de el empuje que la siembra necesita,muchos saludos desde la distancia 🇻🇪feliz y bendecido día🥰.

The zuccini is growing crazy, the one i planted on a school rooftop and forgot there has reached a pretty big size too, must say that zuccini are good at taking high and low temperatures.

Radish isn't too spicy just for you, i hardly eat any of these... why eat raddish when carrot exist (same thing but sweet...)

Because carrots are too delicate for this soil and these climate conditions.
I have never successfully grown carrots. 😟

These radishes, however, break open the toughest soil, don't get chewed on much by insects and tolerated the dry conditions this year... I'd say they thrived in it; they are extra spicy.

They taste great as a garnish for salmon. Maybe even Tafelspitz.
...but I only need a teaspoon of grated radish for that...

Zuchini dies from cold nights. Happened to me.
Other than that it is easy to grow and -as long as the soil is rich- typically yields really well. I prefer pumkin; it's the same family of plants, just that pumkins store much longer, require even less care.

Zuchini is a girl veggie.
Carrots are for pros.
Real men grow potatos, pumkin, corn... and radish.
I want calories and... something so manly, that even I can't eat it. 😎

Never tried to plant carrots... neither pumpkin.

Want to plant something so manly you cant eat it ? Try rocks, there a lot that grew in the soil and you will have a hard time chewing them

rocks are bros.

Bring me back to when i was still little and inocent and could play with rocks during hours (maybe not so many)

The whole thing looks exactly like my parents' garden in Ukraine: corn, zucchini, beans, radishes, apples, and flowers. My late mother called it "majory"... Let me ask you: what country do you live in?

This is Northern Germany. :)
