Thanks for your update, @wildwanderer. And congrars on the Curie vote. Really well-deserved.
I love seeing people preparing for spring. It also makes me a bit sad to realize that over here, fall is just around the corner. :-s
I love your mandale shaped potager garden. It looks a bit like the bigger version of our herb spiral.
I don't know about your broccoli, I am not such an expert on diseases, but it looks a little like what was going on with my chayote plant. That one was suffering from spider mite. Maybe it is worth looking it up.
I would love to go to that grocery store and get such a seedling kit - I would probably do all my shopping there, so I'd get the entire collection... twice, lol.
Thanks! I originally thought of doing a herb spiral but I had more space so I spent ages designing this but I have to admit it was hard work!
Good luck for your changing of seasons! It must get cold in Belgium?
I vaguely inspected my broccoli but couldn’t find the spider mites - apparently they are really small though so I will take a closer look tomorrow.. thanks for sharing your experience with your chayote!
Yeah I think a lot of people did extra shopping there while they were running that promo (myself included) :)
It might have been hard work, but the result is definitely there. It will look stunning.
We have quite moderate winters here in Belgium, with an average temp around 0 to 2°C during winter. Which is more than cold enough for me, lol. And too cold to actually grow something outside.
So I'll have to move most of my perennials inside the house by the end of October or so - I still have no clue where I am going to put everything, but I'll surely find a way :0)
Wow that is pretty cold! I really should stop complaining about our winters! Our average winter day here in Johannesburg is about 18C max and min of about 3-5C so at least our days are warm :) sometimes we get frost that kills things a bit if you don’t cover them.
Good luck with finding space for everything! Looks like you might need a shed or greenhouse :D
Fortunately I have a pretty large downstairs level, so I guess it will work.
18°C, that's what we have on a cold summer's day (except for this year, of course. This year we had higher than normal temperatures, like everywhere else in the world, lol)
Oooh I don’t know how you survive that.. although our summers can get pretty sweltering sometimes! Our heatwaves push 40C which is rather uncomfortable but I still prefer the heat to the cold.. my favourite weather is autumn and spring because it’s warm but not killer hot/cold.. at least we get rain in summer to cool us off :D
At least bringing your plants indoors should make your winter more bearable :)
