Hi Hivers,

This week I made two long days in the organic garden. The sun was shining and I needed some fresh air and hard work.

After having cleaned bean racks (removing the stamms from the wire) for hours and after some breaks it was time to shoot some shots. I know silversaver888@silversaver888 appreciates this so much!

In autumn the kale (Boerenkool) is quite grown already and when it gets a bit colder clients will get this presented in the sale. We have green and red and also some palmkale visible on the left. The higher stuff in the back are the bean racks. The ones planted in august still give beans.

The leaves of kale are cut from the bottom of the stem and the top continues making new leafs. So you take of large good leaves say a third of the total. This way the pant keeps strong enough.

In the greenhouse beetroots and paprika (red pepper but not spicy) are doing fine. You do know that they are first green which turns red. Green they are good for goulash or stews.

At the wall there is this 100 year old Frankenthaler grape and I could still see one grape amidst shrunk dried out grapes. We harvested most small sweet grapes in summer (August) already. We have another new greenhouse elsewhere and that delivered many kilos this year.

I will tell you some more about the premises where this other greenhouse is located. The secluded estate is called ReNova and is run by the the Fellowship of the Rosecrosses. Not sure if this is the name in English.
So our people working in their greenhouse are "guests on their terrain". But very friendly people, just not used to others initially.

Enjoy
