Garden Pictures Chat Corner

At the end of the year, a little review of the summer from our 60 sqm garden.
If anyone is interested in how we laid it out, I can also show floor plans and pictures of the development history. 6 m wide x 10 m long.

This year I tried tomatoes in a container, unfortunately it was not worth it, but made a strong impression in the neighborhood lol.
In the future, I’ll stick to three cherry tomatoes under the eaves.

The Jerusalem artichoke (from 1 tuber variety Top Star) grew in the rented vegetable garden. Beautiful, but not for the small garden. I still have tubers of other varieties waiting in a container to be eaten.

Over the six years, the garden planting has also reorganized itself in some places, or rather, the voles helped. By the way, voles cannot read nonexistent price tags. They don’t touch the lousy wild lilac. But 2021, new year, new luck.

I would be interested in the sketch!
With us, the tomatoes always thrive effortlessly in the container. What orientation does your garden have?

Last year the bucket tomatoes were great, this year only 1 variety. Although this year the one tomato variety in the garden also split and rotted on the plant. No matter how ripe. Next year I will try the old varieties from a colleague

We had almost everything in the bed this year, but some also again in pots. The problem with splitting, however, affected all varieties, including those in the bed. Good to know that it was probably the same for everyone this year. We always have different varieties; we got the seeds from a tomato breeder. We just ate the tomatoes quickly; since they never last long with us anyway, it was not a problem.

An old woman said it is due to the combination of heat and rain.

Yes, gladly. I will get to it in the next few days.

It depended very much on the variety. The garden has a southeast orientation.

The containers were only a makeshift solution for 2020 because the bed could not be laid out, there was no water in the vegetable garden, and then we brought them home. Unfortunately, the yield was much lower than the same varieties in the existing vegetable bed.
