This weekend has been all about the garden. We have a lot of plants that need new pots before going out in the garden in about 1-2 weeks.
I replanted my beans (broad beans, green beans and one called blauhilde), squash, pumpkin and watermelon. I also got some tomato plants from a friend of my family which I planted in our greenhouse. We have all our tomatoes in the greenhouse to reduce the risk of potato leaf mold. Apparently you’re not supposed to grow potatoes and tomatoes within like 500 meters from each other. Unfortunately we don’t have that opportunity. So if it becomes a problem we probably won’t grow potatoes anymore since we can buy locally produced from Öland.
I also got the carrot seeds in the ground. We grow two kinds, one for summer and one that is good to store for a longer time. It’s our first year growing carrots so it’s really exciting!
And last but not least I planted a row of sugar peas. It’s definitely one of my favorites. So sweet and crunchy!
While I was doing a lot of planting Affe had a friend over and they started to make a fence around the garden. Mostly it’s to keep our dog and cats away from the new planting. Although i doubt it will keep the cats away since they can climb over it very easily. I just hope it will be easier for them to do their business somewhere else and that they will choose that instead!
