The cultivation in the living room is going very well. I now have (almost) countless tomato seedlings and 5 greenhouse cucumbers, which I will probably have to put in the greenhouse soon because I am running out of space. The chili plants have also grown quite well by now. I am especially curious about the melon pear - I am trying it out for the first time this year, knowing that the harvest might partly fail this year, but with overwintering or cuttings the plants will hopefully bear fruit next year.
A few lettuces are already growing in the greenhouse - last night I had to put a collar on one because it was already being attacked by a snail. Today I want to sow some spinach there; once it is harvested, it will make room for the tomatoes.
It is quite frosty here at night at the moment - I hope the jostaberry survives, after it almost started to bloom. Fortunately, the two peach trees do not have blossoms yet.
The rhubarb plants apparently died over the winter. Very unfortunate, because I love rhubarb. Let’s see where I can get a few seedlings online so that at least something grows again next year.
Due to the "current situation," when I prepare the bed, I want to convert another strip of lawn into a bed. Two rows of potatoes will also go there. At the moment, I am trying, more or less successfully, to make a plan of what to grow this year. Also with regard to storage options and suitability for preserving. Hokkaido will be included again, kale too, white cabbage for sauerkraut as well. Plus lots of beetroot, many beans, carrots of course, black salsify, Brussels sprouts, and parsnips. And of course pickling cucumbers. And cauliflower. And onions. Did I forget something? Yes, certainly.
My husband and I are following the plan to snatch a piece of lawn from my mother-in-law for two little trees. Her old apple tree is almost done for, so now is the time to plant a new one so that a "seamless transition" will be possible in a few years. We would also like to have a hazelnut tree.
One row will also be sown again with bee flowers. I like to loosely plant sunflowers, marigolds, and nasturtiums into the beds.
