Helena-Reet: Summer!!! New strawberry beds (garden photos.. June vs July)
NordenBladet – It is summer (for quite a while!), but I don’t want to start each post with the sentence that I don’t know how time flies so quickly and that I haven’t been posting in ages again 😀 hahaaa… Well and now there are already three Spain trips that need to be reflected on… Also I need to post for March, April, May, June… Really, OMG!!! But no worries… Now I have got a good idea. I will just start scrolling my phone and write everything retrospectively… (at some point) 😀
But it is the easiest to start from today. Therefore… Today is Wednesday, July 10th. I woke up at about 8:00 (nice long sleep aaah?) and prepared a royal breakfast:
– Taarapõllu farm’s “Unquidonia juice” shot (boosts the metabolism). I bought it out of interest already a week ago to test it and I really like it.
– Warm oatmeal porridge with green salad, seasoned with sugar and drowning in sour cream.
– sandwiches with yellow tomato and ham and cheese
– strawberries, grapes and sweet cherries
– and COFFEE with milk!
PS! On the kitchen table up to today the daisies that I picked and the roses that Allan gave me last week still please the eye! These pictures are also from last week… such is our almost every breakfast and I do not take new pictures each time :).
Anyway… when everybody was full, Ivanka attended her online private lesson with my little sister Hanna-Liisa in Zoom (or maybe in Google Meet (they do one hour of general studies daily), I went to the garden to weed and mow and Allan was at the home office.
The garden is large, so I do a little bit every time. Today I completed the surroundings of the strawberry bed and planted salad seeds and dill, since those I planted 2.5 weeks ago didn’t grow. Mhmmm.. Also I am amazed that the various strawberries I bought from Bauhof (Korona, Ostara, Elsanta, Elvira, Senga Sengana) grow leaves and shoots but there are no berries. Maybe there will not be berries during the first year. Who knows? Not me..
Pictures from the day I planted the strawberries (June 2nd 2024). I asked Allan to build me some more boxes for plants. So I got two new beautiful boxes. The plants were so small when I bought them and it seemed that everything was alright… but now a month from that I realize I planted them too close to each other and I actually need more boxes…
On June 2nd we also did our first grill this year 😛
Now garden pics from today. PS! I first planted the seeds of salad, dill and basil on June 24th (these little tassels that you can see in the pics have been growing for a few weeks). Today I added to the same bed some salad and dill, it seems the seeds don’t grow. By the way, it is not the first time this happens that I buy the seeds and there is hardly any harvest. Maybe they sold me old seeds? Mhmmm… There’s also a chance that birds come and eat up all the seeds.
To conclude it, here are some pics from my latest manicure. Mega beautiful! Also the garden was super beautiful after the gardening works, the weather was amazing today and Ivanka was in a good mood… such a positive vibe!
Hugs! XOXOXO
…Now I’ll have a look at what the markets (stock exchange) is doing and then maybe I will start another blog 🙂
