Girls are laying again. :D

I removed the second container (as my mini ponds in the main garden) to an east-facing spot. We plan to put down two dead Korean firs, and this spot might have much more sunlight after that. Therefore, I also transplanted two apple trees in this area this week. When I started using such...

It's up to you. If the bulb is small, or there are very few leaves (most of the time, one or two leaves) - that means the bulbs are too small to support showy flowers. You can just snip off the flowers, so the plants can keep growing and storing energy to the bulbs. Some nurseries sell very...

Heavy rain till Friday, so I worked a bit in the greenhouse - pricking out seedlings, potting on, and sowing another 30 varieties of veggies and flowers, satisfied. Meanwhile, all rain barrels should be full after Friday. I wish I can transplant another two apples and one raspberry tomorrow...

What I did yesterday - changed the flowers for the window sills. Expanded this flower bed a bit with different maples and lavenders. With the increasing green materials, the temperature of compost heaps is finally rising again.

I got some lovely photos today. Young female cone of European Spruce The hen (left) who almost lost her eyesight - she kind of cuddling with one sister (three were hatched by our senior hen) during their laying time. Theoretically, she should be at the lowest pecking order, but so far, other...

#24007 Peony-flowered tulips 'Nachtwacht'

Night mode, I love it!

Applied an annual protection layer of paint to the garden chair and some small trellises, all done.

Almost 30°C today.....(but next week it will drop to 8°C...) Anyway, tulips are gorgeous this year.

#24005 Tulips #24006 Tulips and Muscari

Here are my observations: Prerequisite - 1. Tulips are not seriously treated as perennials (Darwin tulips might be an exception) here. Their nature is to create more bulblets instead of a large main bulb. I once watched how farmers in Netherlands ensure large bulbs - the flowers were discarded...

A pretty small corner like this can make me smile. To be honest, planting tulips in the pots is really a good idea. You can move them wherever you need. I also have several beds for cut flowers :) Yes, for me, it's kind of self-sufficiency, too. A new sitting corner - after a few more weeks...

This is a very busy week, and I didn't have much time to update. The front flower bed was removed yesterday morning, because the local authority informed me that there must be a parking space for two cars for the Café (ridiculous, but yes, no choice, even our neighbor agrees that people can...

I harvested all Pak Choi sowed in the late January, as they are about to bolt. Besides, pea shoots, some flower and tender leaves from Brussel sprout and kales~

Yes, a great start! We love chives and eggs +100000000!

Tulips are ready for their prime time soon! One flock has started 'mowing' in the garden - they are happy about free foraging again, and we are happy, too - such a win-win. Another flock has to wait a bit longer, as the almost blind one might never find the way back to the coop, I will make a...
