The lovely herbs and flowers I used today for the customers who pre-ordered Salad from me. I'd say it's the most luxurious fresh salad within a 100 km radius—or even 200 km.

Coffee is ready, and it's iced coffee! Today's cake rolls: Honey and Fruits / Coffee and Banana

Some specific snapdragon plants did overwinter in my garden without protection. The safer way is just dig them out and bring them under roof. They don't need much water in the winter months. I pruned them back a bit and transplante them again on the ground when the soil is warm enough. They can...

Fancy Saturday! Today's cake rolls: Chocolate & Cherry Port Wine & Grape Peach Short Cake, as peaches are right in the season and cost-effective.

One of our dogs did the same, and one of our cats also did the same - maybe the same old wisdom, that others' meals are always better?

The first hybrid tea rose this year And the first climbing rose this year - they will take the stage from the fading orange honeysuckle. The pink-ivory tone honeysuckle from the other side also starts blooming. So, this rose arch is orange and green in May, and will turn into pink and...

My dear gardening neighbors, I wish to have coffee and cake with you. After such a long waiting, my tiny little shop is there. More photos will be shared in my own thread. It's a lovely place for me, too. Although it's a shady corner (facing east, only some direct sunlight in the morning), it's...

It's a peach cake - now is the season here for all kinds of peach. The price is really nice. However, yesterday I have tried a lemon cake roll, oh wow, the liquid part is 60% lemon juice and 40% warm water (usually I use Milk for the liquid part) - the flavor is so refreshing and lovely. It...

Same here! Our first half of May is so warm, and then the temperature dropped a lot. I took out some autumn clothes agaian. Cucumbers, Melons, and Peppers growing outdoors look really misearable now. Zucchini plants and chilies are not too far away from looking miserable. I am even...

Harvested several huge comfrey plants, chopped and dropped them in the compost to add nutritients. They are growing like crazy, especially near the chicken coop areas - the soil must be very fertile. :lol: They are becoming so huge - blocked light and air for neighboring plants, and the...

Lemon Chiffon Cake Roll with Whipped Cream and Fresh Peach

I did a lot of house and garden chores in the morning, and am having my coffee and cake in the shop. :D

Guess what? The Lidl in our town gave the plants they can't sell on time (before next batch plants arrive) to customers for FREE! FINALLY!!! There is a shop doing things right. The plants are in very good shape, and we also brought back two Phalaenopsis and one tray of the Dianthus back, so...

Those bearded Irises are really charming! When I bought the tubers, I felt, wow, it cost a small fortune; however, when I saw now their blooms, oh my, it's 100% worthwhile - no need to say, they are perennials. The first wave of honeysuckle is fading, but the climbing roses are ready to...

Yes, the advertisement on the local newspaper charges minimum 600 Euros for posting once. I don't think that will leave any impression... Today, we sent a box of cake rolls and some sweet bread buns to the police station in our town, and provide a special offer for police - Buy a piece of cake...

I did suffer a bit, too. Although I am in Germany, we have a wet autumn, a wet winter, and then a wet spring...The first batch of spears were in terrible shapes especially we have frost in consecutive nights. Now the second flush arrives, and the spears look much better. I didn't harvest as...

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a [silver] sixpence in her shoe. ---- It's not a sixpence, but well, a silver coin from UK is enough. The something new is a bit too huge (for this photo) but it's a new food processor from DH. Anyway, a simple blessing -...

Life goes on, and many things are happening. This is the soft-open week of my Café, and I am adapting the new daily routine. Of course, I spent much less time in the main garden - usually in the very early morning when nothing disturbs the tranquility. Lupines bring lovely and brightness to...

Raining all day again, thankfully, I did most of the mowing last week - the grass grows so quickly now. I am going to sow more leeks, carrots, and runner beans later in the evening.
