At first I wanted to write a big post, I thought about it for 4 days and then I decided to write a small post about my garden. Because I'm lazy in writing, I prefer to communicate in comments.
So I took the photos from my garden on September 5th. September is still warm, 23-25 degrees during the day, 15 degrees Celsius at night. In winter I will read this post and remember my garden.
We haven't done anything in the garden for a month now. I only harvest it once or twice a week. Clean, untreated with pesticides, and I don't think my wife even used any chemical fertilizers anywhere.
Mustard grows and bees fly over it. Someone will get good honey.
The red grapes are not ripe yet, they will ripen in October. Although I already eat the blue, sour grapes.
I picked an apple. It was not quite ripe yet, but it was tasty.
But I ate this berry, red currant, already at the end of May and now at the beginning of September I still pick a few berries from the bush. Why it hangs on the bush for so long I don't know.
These are my cucumbers, I watered them yesterday for the first time in a month, some are still blooming.
My delicious tomatoes, they grow without ceasing. And many are still blooming. Today I will make myself a salad of my tomatoes with sour cream, I don't know a tastier salad. By the way, watery and not so tasty cherry tomatoes cost $7 per kilogram in the store, it's terrible what is happening with food prices.
And this is my sweet corn, sometimes I eat it raw and sometimes I cook it. Very tasty. In the store, farm corn with pesticides costs $3 per kilo. Who are these people who don't mind spending $3 on corn? After all, it's very easy to plant it and you don't have to do anything with it for 3 months, just wait for the harvest.
This is my most delicious pumpkin, our grandmother gave us a lot of seeds and we plant them every year. How delicious is this pumpkin variety, boiled pumpkin and olive oil and salt. This pumpkin is still inexpensive in the store, $ 1.5 per kilogram, but some monsters are sold at 6-8 kilograms, they are probably intensively fed with something :)
My peppers have just started to ripen. I picked only 3 red peppers. We put about 70 peppers in the freezer and add them to hot soups in the winter, I even sweat after eating such food :)
My garden doesn't show any signs of autumn, except for the yellowing leaves of this hazelnut tree. My wife loves these little nuts with beer.
And I love big walnuts from a huge tree. The bigger tree didn't fit in the photo. So I'll leave a photo of walnuts, this is last year's harvest. We have enough walnuts for 2 years. This photo was taken on October 1st last year.
A wonderful garden, an excellent harvest, simple food plus clean air and... Ringing silence! Plus no 'white noise', exhaust fumes, intrusive advertising and disturbing news - the absolute formula for happiness! Congratulations! You did it!

Wow! Your garden is so amazing. I love how natural and chemical free everything is.
Currants are overripe and ask: pick me!:) Reading your post, I wanted to go to the village, to my 'ruins', but nothing grows there, except plums and apples, this season I was there only 2 times ... In a good way, I envy people who have the opportunity to live in nature all season. Good luck to you and a good harvest!
You have a wonderful, large vegetable garden. You have harvested various produce, and given the current market prices, you are saving a lot of money. Best of all, the harvest is good. Best regards.
Insanity. Vegetables are something that should always remain relatively cheap. Even in England they remain cheap, where all else is overpriced!
In Tbilisi I remember they were also quite expensive, and the quality was terrible. I wasn't happy about buying 'fresh' food there. Armenia's quality is much better, as are the prices. Though nothing beats the naturally grown garden stuff. The goal for me now is to save up and buy a house with a little garden here. A place that can grow some fruit and vegetables.
Oh, a house with a garden is cool. In Armenia you can grow pomegranates, tangerines and many many other tasty things on trees. But won't you be hot there?
It depends on the region. Where I just spent the past week was hot. And that's where my previous garden pictures came from. A house that belongs to my girlfriend's grandfather. He's in his 80s but still farms in the garden every year. Still climbs up the ladder to cut the grapes. Waters everything. Strong care for the routine he's always had.
In the northern regions it's much cooler. Up near Dilijan where it still gets hot but there's more humidity, and it's usually a few degrees cooler than the west/south.
In Armenia I would choose a cooler place, because everything will grow in the garden anyway.
My father will soon be 80 years old. And every day from morning until lunch he potters around in the garden. And in winter he comes to the garden to look after the house. People who are active in the fresh air are healthier and live longer.
Yeah, he's in incredible shape for his age. But that's a life of being so active and taking care of yourself. Still mentally sharp too. Managed to learn a lot about (long) нарды from him, after so many games in a row of getting absolutely destroyed by him haha. And that's after we would have a few shots of vodka or cognac over lunch ;^)
It's nice to see that routine still in the elderly in these regions. They have things to do. They don't just get stuck inside and deteriorate. Keeps them happy and active. Probably means a lot to them if their produce ends up being enjoyed by their family too.
You call this a small post? 😂

Прям пронастальгировал по бабушкиной деревне, тому времени и тому лету...
Тоже было много фруктов, зелени и много приключений на жопу 😂
