Radijs sidepicll
After last year's harvest, we emptied the vegetable garden patches, removed the weeds and pruned the fruit-bearing bushes. Everything was ready for winter! In the spring, stray blue grapes, mini daffodils and a lapwing egg sprung everywhere from the ground, really funny! Even a winter cyclamen came up, but without flowers.


That is why we are now preparing the patches again, for spring. We move the stray bulbs and remove the weeds then fill the bins with fresh soil. We start with the right-hand one, in which we plant the radishes. The radish seeds we bought in a ribbon, this way you do not have to replant them later on. Seems very handy! This time we picked the various coloured ones, hopefully they will thrive.

We bought radish seeds in a ribbon, so handy!

Remove the weeds and other stray plants.

Make the soil you want to sow in even and moist.

Cut the seed ribbon to fit then palce them on the soil.

Press the ribbons gently in the soil then cover them with 1 cm of fresh soil. The radish seeds should germinate after 10-12 days.

Already the raspberry bush has a lot of buds.

The blueberrie bush grows slow.

The red currant bush is filled with fruit!

Also the grapes thrive in the sun in our garden.

Under the leaves little bunches of grapes are forming already.

The strawberry plant has flowers.

The basil is still struggeling, the parsley not so much!

Now we plant the mini cucumbers, the tomatoes and the bell peppers in the open ground.

Here we plant the cucumbers.

The bell peppers look tiny in the garden!

But the tomatoes grow each day.

Now that everything is neat and tidy in the vegetable garden, we hope for lots of sun and now and then some rain, which will be good for the plants. This year we also want to try out whether planting marigolds among the vegetables helps against hungry insects. Last year the radishes were all eaten and not by us ;p We will keep you informed!
