Garden dreams
21 February 2010 at 19:06 (House and garden, Vegetable garden)
Despite low temperatures and the remains of snow and ice, the calendar insists that spring is coming. I really want to get gardening, but before any serious gardening can take place there remains a tremendous amount of work to be done. Remove lots of paving and improving the soil (at the moment it’s very sandy and almost no humus.
The picture is of the greenhouse I hope to buy shortly.
The last pumpkins
18 February 2010 at 18:15 (Preserving and storing food, Harvest)
More and more of our stored pumpkins give up the ghost: Fluffy white fungus, black rot spots, you name it. Fortunately we had plenty of pumpkins stored, so we haven’t lacked for anything, pumpkin-wise. To postpone the start of the pumpkinless season, I’m cleaning and freezing the last good pumpkins one by one.
we had plenty
Onion check

Today I checked all our onions and removed all the rotten ones. It wasn’t much work, for we don’t have that many onions left, but you need to make time for these small chores. Perhaps I’ll also get to checking the potatoes and remove the offshoots today. The potatoes deteriorate fast when they start to chit.
Frost

Brrrr…. it is cold! As garden issues have little priority at the moment I hadn’t covered my lettuce and chinese cabage in pots. Sadly, they seem to have suffered rather badly.
