I have always had a softspot for gardening. I have a literal green thumb.
My garden, the little home farming I do, the building and taking care of plants is something which brings me great pleasure as well as provide healthy food on the table.
This hobby started in the summer of 2023. By all means a bit “late” to start planting vegetables and fruits for harvest within the same year. Yield back then was more than I hoped for but much less to what could have been. It was here that I started building up the garden.
- Built the “fence” around the beds
- Tilled the soil
- Got a few additional tools
- My first experiences
It is a hobby demanding time, patience, luck and some dedicated know-how.
Adding to the difficulty is everything being grown biologically.
I.e. no pesticides or herbicides are being used AT ALL.
Weeds are pulled by hand.
Reducing weed growth is done through farming strategies (tilling soil during winter/frost).
Should pests invade, actively searching for natural remedies to prevent them.
Etc…
As I am quite late at beginning to keep track of my endeavors here, part of the pictures and development will be based on memory and pictures/updates I made on social media throughout the years.
Each year will have its own page-entry to follow my journey.
ENJOY!!!
