Veggie Garden Update

in #gardening7 years ago

Winter hit us hard last week, and the garden is a little messed up, and some things got ruined, BUT we got a new composter for free, from the local authority, and we already ate the big cauliflower :)

Already ate half the broccoli but there is always another generation growing as we LOVE broccoli :)

Parsley and green onion are still growing from last year, and both seem very happy, we use them a lot in almost everything we cook!

And remember this project? (Here is a link to a DIY howto I wrote about it)
It's now crawling with life, there's strawberries, parsley, salary (on top), and the pink-flowering one is basil.
Inside it, at least two toads are living happily as there's always water there :)

Before I go, here are some more happy winter photo's of edible mushrooms, strawberries flowering, aloe vera plant and an update photo of my aquaponic hanging garden with strawberries and lettuce :)

Looks great, really good to see more and more people growing their own food. I have also started about a year ago, and now I dont have to buy veggies or herbs as my homegrown efforts are starting to flourish. check out my page for my proud moments too.@simba

best of luck
stay blessed...

Yes! and they taste so much better than the ones in the store :) i'm growing my own for years but this year is the biggest grow, almost not buying any veggies from outside :)

That is awesome. Those moushrooms are huge. well done. stay blessed with abundant food blessings :-)

Hehe thanks a lot :)

Very cool! Keep at it. As a kid growing up in Miami, I thought food grew with the plastic wrapping. In my 20's, I learned that there aren't Big Mac seeds.

Hehehehe thanks man thats a good one :)

bro amazing comment really tnx brother

photos are full of life!
so green and sunny - just whar we need when there's cold outside

mushrooms are perfect! just 1 is enough for soup I think-))
do you use any fertilizer for your plants?
or they just love you and grow so fast to make you smile?)

Hehe well I love them and they love me :)
I use compost that I make for fertilizing them, the compost is made of thrown food remains from home, and lots of bad plants that I took out.

ahh I see, my dad used it too!)
and manure is also popular here

Yeah cow shit works, but no need, the plants are happy :)

Looks great, after I'm done studying and settle down, getting a vegetable garden is high up on my priority list. I love cooking and the thought of just going outside of the house to get fresh produce.

Yes! I highly recommend it, its not just the availability of the fresh veggies, its their taste, it is SO much better after not laying in supermarkets and industrial freezers for a month before getting to you :)

Hello my dear friend! You have a great brokolli)))) I also love the taste of brokolli))) Beautiful photos)))6453.png

Thanks! We're gonna eat that Broccoli tonight :)

Having a garden and plants to live in it must be a very pleasant thing. You will not have to bother to be healthy. I'm jealous.

Thanks! I eat and smoke unhealthy things, but I also eat the tasty homegrown veggies :)

Great photos. My garden is under 4’ of snow here in Canada.

Sounds freezing :) I'll visit canada one day for sure :)

Being from Chicago I can’t help but be a teeeny bit jealous when I see people gardening so early! There is no chance of me gardening before Mid May. I can’t wait for this spring, I am counting the days!

Thanks! I hear you, i'm a person of summer and sun :)
We actually live very close to the cows, and our appartment was built into a part of an old barn, so our garden is all concrete - I had to build high beds on top of the concrete for the veggies, lotsa work and fun :)

I hope your garden will get better soon.

Looks good..You got some tasty looking Brocoli growing there

Hehe thanks we already ate it :)

Beautiful Garden
