These days on the garden

Yes, more about my garden, even when it's a little abandoned and some things were eaten by slugs and ants, there is still thing blooming and that it's just magic for me.
Here you can see some lavender, a big pumpkin, something I don't know what it is but I liked those lilac flowers, a nice butterfly who enjoy the compost pile and my sunflower, have you notice how tall it is?, and I didn't knew it will have more than one flower, I'm already savoring those seeds.

There is also som fava and garabanzo beans still growing.

What about you, there anything still growing in your backyard?

More on the garden

  

I'm a little single-minded lately, sorry, only knit and garden, but that's how it's all for now.
Last night I read Anne of Green Gables total kitsch, but I liked as well read as I folded a mountain of clothes that threatened to devour me.
Not all  pumpkin were fertilized, even with the many wasps, but this is beautiful.
There are many bean pods green, purple and green with purple spots.
 Corn grows and grows.
Also the first pod of peas and bean sprouts, garbanzo and fava beans are doing well.
The lettuce is a little rickety but at least not die has not been attacked by slugs.

The beer ran against slugs (thanks to all), but I have to repeat it several nights, last night was very tired.

I finished another wool diaper cover today, I hope soon to have them in my other store.

Night Horror

Have you explored your garden at night?

I did it today, and I'm still sick in my stomach, knowing what this could mean. I don't know what to do. I put a salt barrier from the garden, so they will not come into the house, but it would fade with the rain in two or three days. And I can't put salt on the plants because it would burn them. I tried crushed egg shell barriers, that don't seams to work.

Does you have an advice for me? 

They were in all sizes, brown and grey, the biggest should be 3 inches.

I will read to try to find a solution, maybe Fukoka or Jhon Jeavons have write on it, o maybe this book I this book I have.

Escargot anyone?

Pumpkin

A Pumpkin grew out of the compost pile, and then flowers start to emerge, but then it seams that something was cutting them, and leaving in the grass, without eating them, I was confused.

Until a friend explained to me, male flowers bloom and fall, and female flowers have the fruit.
 

I had learn this in elementary school, I just didn't remember it.

I'm so excited about growing things for the first time, that I go out to the backyard with my camera every morning.

What about you?  What is blooming in your garden?

Have a nice weekend!

These days

Cargando...

 

 I have been busy with a new plan of life, that's why I had not post lately.

I finally can for the first time, and succeed.

I'm trying to make an habit of us washing dishes after very meal, he loves it (the pic it's just one of his funny faces).

This that grew out of the compost pile it's going great, I think it's some kind of pumpkin, it has 43 forming flowers, I'm very excited, I think I could exchange the pumpkins for eggs or fruit at the Farmer's Market I work on.

How about you these days?

Growing vegetables journal :: week 4 :: marking beds

Most of the seeds from have germinated already, so it time to make the beds.

And water them for 3 hours. Birds may get interested.
