The best, best, best thing of gardening is discovering your veggie plant growing actual vegetables, all baby sized, getting ready to be eaten in a little while!

The soil in my garden is really good, so last year I planted three strawberry plants, and now I have them growing almost everywhere. Yummy though!

I'm looking so much forward to this rhubarb! Homegrown rhubarb in a crumble is the best thing ever.

We suspect this to be Chinese cabbage, but I completely lost track of what went where, so it could be anything.

My garden also has leek, different kinds of cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, and beets. I think growing vegetables is quite an exciting adventure! I really wanted two chickens in my garden but I heard they would lay about 12 eggs a week in total, and I don't know what I'd do with 12 eggs. How cute would that be though, chicks in your garden? :D

You could bake cakes with your eggs, or muffins etc.
Or you could donate them to the neighbours :)
I'm sure others would be happy to get eggs from chickens that are free roaming in a garden :)

That mini cauliflower is the cutest ever! <3
I always used to love growing vegetables when I still lived at my parents and had a garden. Just to see if they will grow, it's so exciting!

BTW about chickens... I thought they only lay eggs when there's a rooster around?

It really is exciting :D I thought chickens always lay eggs, but only make new little chickens when a rooster is around? I'll look into it, I definitely don't want a rooster! XD

The last picture is kohlrabi! I like to peel and slice it for hummus snacks. Gardens are so magical! I can't wait to have my own.

leuk
eiren kun je ook weer aan de kippen voeren. gewoon breken en achterlaten. Ras kippen leggen minder en zijn mooier.
Ik wil er wel 10 eiren per maand afnemen.
