Our garden is often featured in the blogs on snazzie. Because we love to be outside a lot with the mini-monsters and we enjoy working with them in the garden. We sometimes have tea parties in the garden, sometimes we read, drink coffee or have a picnic or we are busy with the plants in our vegetable garden. All very pleasant to do and we are having lots of fun in passing that on to the mini-monsters.
Often we have discussed the dimensions of our garden already, our stamp garden, as we call it. Because even if it is a small city garden, fortunatelythere is enough space for lots of plants and shrubs. We show that to you today, because we are actually a bit proud of our work in the garden.

Viburnum Tinus
Lilac - Syringa vulgaris
Blue Bell - Hyacinthoides non-scripta
Unfortunately, no vegetable garden this year! Last year we worked hard in it and for the first time we had such a bad result that we will pass this year. With pain in our hearts but sadly we have a slug infestation in the garden and they eat everything you plant. So gnawed on radishes, beets and carrots, only last year's tomatoes did moderatly well.
The mini-monsters have put in some herbs and plants in the veggie boxes and we planted the beans from the school project in it too, last May. They have gotten big pods now!
Fortunately our perennials with fruit like the raspberry, red currant, grapes and strawberries are growing very well! The fruit starts to develop or is ripe already, ready to be picked.
