I decided it was time to participate in 's Garden Journal Challenge!
I have followed the Garden Journals on the side and many times wanted to participate, but since I still don't have my own garden :'( I thought I couldn't really.. But since I've done a lot of garden work in the garden of Roberto's parents where we have been staying for September + October, and follow the plants and flowers as closely as if it was my own garden, I thought I'll share a bit too this time!
full moon is getting near.. :)
So this garden is situated at 700 mt above sea level in a small valley in the Italian Alps. The spring was cold and rainy, but the Autumn has been unusually hot and sunny, so we are still enjoying nice warm days and the garden is still very much alive and giving!
here the flower and herbs bed, with happy nasturciums crawling about
Field of mixed ancient types of wheat and spelt that we sowed last month. They are coming up nicely now, and will then hibernate over the winter to then keep growing in spring
Radishes and salad just planted a few weeks ago and the radishes are already ready to eat, they grow so fast!
"frigitelle", a type of sweet peppers that has given so much this year!
this is radicchhio, they are super bitter now, but will close up and make a nice cone of radicchio inside, which is less bitter because it grows in the dark - similar to belgian endives, it just doesn't need to be covered, since it's covered by the leaves themselves
This kale is so giving and so delicious! I don't know the name in English (in italian Black Kale and in Danish Palm Kale
"Cardo", family of artichokes, but not artichokes.. Apparently you eat the stem, but these ones went to flower too quick.. beautiful though!
Zucchinis are still giving!
The pumpkins are hiding all over!
So lucky to be able to harvest all these goods from the garden I didn't even start and amazing that we have had the chance to plant things and already harvest in such short time!
Thank you for stopping by! <3
