We enjoy our vacation

Hi all,

we totally enjoy the time off right now.
We had some nice walks were I took this pictures:

As you can see I really like this weather. Cold but sunny. Perfect for a nice morning walk and so thought Floris :)

For Christmas we spend some time in Germany. We stayed in Idar Oberstein and also went to see my Family. It was great to have them around once again. One of my sisters is pregnant right now so I took her something:

They are so cute. I cant wait see the little one wearing them. But well, I will have to wait. In the meanwhile I already started new projects for the soon to come baby. I will keep you posted.
Also I will show you pictures of my 2 scarfs. They are now done and so nice and warm. Only that we have about 10-12 ° here right now and it is a little to warm to wear them hahahaha.

Also I will soon post the missing granola receipt. :) To my friend Inge: Try it out. It is super easy and really, really tasty!

Today we spent our time painting the hall and the toilet. You do understand that my arms are getting tired, right? So I better stop writing now. 

Another post will come soon.

Have a great time,
Susann 

Busy days behind me

Hi all,

long time ago since my last post. I was so busy the past weekes that I were not able to come up with some nice posts to share with you.
But now I am back again.

In the meanwhile I am still busy with crocheting. I think if I progress like I did in the past I will soon be done with my first blanket. And I need to. 3 new projects are already aligned :)

Last Saturday we went to the nature park with our bikes and I want to share some nice fall pictures with you.

I have to share some great cooking recipes within the next days so make sure you stop by.
Have a great Monday!

Planting flower bulbs in containers

Hi all,

this year I wanted to try something new. I still have plenty of flower bulbs from this spring. I kept them dry on a cool and dark place and now I wanted to use them again.
As from this year on we started our little veggi garden space is something I don't give easily away. But you need flowers of course to bring bees, ladybugs and all the other bugs in your garden. That why I did not want to have no flowers in the garden.

Then I had the idea to plant the bulbs in 2 big containers I still have. And I did.
Unfortunately you and me have to wait until next spring to see if everything works out.

I also cleaned out the garden a little bit. There I found something very funny. I did put some radish seeds in the ground this summer but the snails immediately ate the green when it came out. So I said good bye to the idea of eating fresh radish this year.
Look what I found after cleaning out this piece of the garden:

Surely they are not tasty anymore but for next year I learned to not give up so fast :)

Have a great day,
Susann

Gardening Journal

Hi all!

As you know I started a veggi garden for the first time this year. I had no idea what to get and how to do it, when to plant, what plant next to each other and so on.
So I started a huge research. I bought books, searched for planting calendars and read every article I could found in the internet.
But I had to keep the information I've got somewhere. So I created my gardening journal. I bought a book and did not make it myself but only because I just found the perfect book. See?

I was immediately in love and had to bring it home. Ok, I have a confession to make. I have a thing for note books. I could buy them all. I have one drawer full with them but use them nearly all for all kind of topics.

In my garden journal I write for example important information about plants I have or like to plant. I also keep the seeds package and stick them in it with washi tape because then I already have all information. I also have a small greenhouse for the windowsill (see below). I wrote down what seed I put were :)

For the first year I already gathered a lot of information. I already figured out that some things need to be changed or I found things out my own. I will write a seeding planner as well and show it to you later.

Do you have a gardening journal? 

Today was also more a couch day with a lot of grey and a little rain outside. So: Cuddeling-Time!!!

 

Many greetings,
Susann

A Garden update

Hi all,

yesterday I spent a lot of time in my garden, try to make as much use of the sun as possible.

I counted again 13 new Zucchini - still small but soon to come. The green beans were not so many anymore and I've got planty of herbs and mint for the freezer. 

Our animals also enjoyed the sun outside.

 

Have a nice rest of the Weekend. Enjoy what is left :)
