This morning as I do most mornings, I took my stovetop black coffee out to view yesterdays progress, especially the seedlings I’m propagating. There is progress everywhere. I get so excited this time of the year.
Wow it looks like there will be a lot to eat! I envy you.
In my country leaves are falling and we all try to love first days of autumn :)
Hi from Poland to You :)
Jason, that one is a Stella Cherry….which I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I actually get a harvest this year….it’s it’s third year so hopefully! I also have given the same treatment to a few apple trees.
Great shots! I’m crunching through leaves and pulling all of the dead stuff out of the garden. Thankfully I still have the root veg for a little while longer. Happy planting!
Looks like I’ll have to re-live the spring and summer through your pictures since it just turned autumn here and will be snowing before we know it. Amazing photos as always
awesome – look at all those little seedlings in the loo rolls – love it! Can’t wait to dig up the front garden at our apartments complex and replant with useful herbs and things!
Your post a while back about re-using the bog rolls reminded me that I used to raise seedlings that way a few years ago… I’m now getting back into the method. Someone asked me though if there was any contamination from the cardboard… and I didn’t know! Do you? Or if the seedlings need extra nitrogen as the cardboard breaks down… again I didn’t know! I’ve usually just planted them in the soil and everything been a-ok… My biggest problem is letting the sprouts dry out… I’ve lost one batch already…
Spring is surely wonderful. Have just been admiring my clematis in flower and am keen to set to tomato planting soon. With hands in soil is a great way to spend an afternoon.
(Happy to have found my way to your blog quite by chance.)
It sure is Gracia! I feel at my best when I spend a day in the patch. There’s a very real sense of achievement, and then when the fruit is ripe……absolute joy! Thanks for popping by

Yes plenty of fresh vegetables on the horizon, although we’ve been feasting on winter veg for the past few months!
I have a Polish friend that shows me pictures of his visits back home, what a beautiful place!!!

Thanks, feel invited :)) Now it’s perfect time for forest mushrooms.
Be patient and good luck with cooking all this beauties.

Awesome. I’m so jealous, as Fall has sprung (fallen?) where I am. What’s the espalier along the fence?
