Greetings, Fellow Green Stuff Admirers!
I am bringing you a small report on the work done in the garden this Saturday. As per usual, it's only a small part of all that needs to be done for that garden to be in good shape but I am doing what I can and leaving what I can't for some time later.
It was tilling, gathering grass, clearing space for and then spreading some herb seeds, as well as green peas.
Then, I had me a few photos of the things already growing or the signs of Spring on the trees.
In reverse order...
Opening buds on the peach tree that is from a generation between the oldest one and the new saplings in the garden.
Well...the new saplings might not have developed roots, hence — not survived. I guess I will know in a week or two. They turned out to be the most difficult among the tree species I a mtrying to plant there.
The good news is the almonds, pears and hazelnuts look fine.
One of the almond saplings planted last autumn is already showing its first blossoms.
While speaking about the old, the growth that's already there and longer lasting than some other things...
I actually fund me some strawberry patches.
Well, just a couple, to be exact. Remnants of what my grandparents planted some years ago. These were hiding in the thick grass and thorns. They have been hiding all through the previous year. Amazing stuff, plants.
On a closer inspection of another patch of dirt, I think I found something that might be the promise of carrots, after all. I was worried none of the early seeds would grow. They might just...
I know they don't look like much but...
They look just like the ones I first observed growing from seeds in pots on my urban home's balcony. And look how big those have grown. They would be on the bottom pictures of that previous post of mine.
Another sigh of relief comes out thanks to the garlic sprouts from the large seeds I bought a couple of months ago. They were lagging behind.
Their elder brethren came from a box of mostly rotten stuff people would sell to my wife at the supermarket. At quite high a cost. Ridiculous, compared to the full bag of seeds I had for almost nothing.
Anyway...it grows!
And it also grows on you. But you already know that.
Peace and Parsley!
Yours,

Peace and Parsley to you too! I know we can count on great photos from you. So this piece of land was your grandparents'?
Aye, and miraculously, it was tidier back then despite the fact that they had very limited energy towards the sunset of their lives.
Well, I am quitting on some non-eco-friendly methods and that makes things harder for me. But I hope it would be worth it in the end.
Wait...there's no end...
Slowly but surely your crops are steadily growing. I am so excited to see them grow into their full potential.
Tracking their growth as best I could. Thanks :)
You're welcome (^_^)
Great to see successes and suprises. Springs funny like that.. things you think are dead and never thriving all of a sudden bust into life.
Is there anything much better than photos of fruit blossoms in spring?
Aye, I do rely on some life being strong and striving for survival miracles when it comes to the plants I try introducing there. The native wild growth is strong and obstinate, all right.
The trees you plant simply living on. Not all of the 22 I planted will. But it's a numbers game and I am continuing on the road to turning this garden into a forest. The perennials should be able to take over at some point.
