Your own food with love and patience

, Yes, spring is starting to get warmer. Seeds sprout in the containers on the windowsill. The tomato slices full of seeds give about 20 strong plants. The dried heart of the bell pepper produces 10 plants, just like the seeds harvested from the chilli pepper. The flower mixture from the friends lottery gives the first radishes. There was a display with seeds at work. Cucumber, eggplant, leek and vine tomatoes stand side by side.

The pear tree, apple tree and plum tree (saved from the stake of a tree farm) were in full bloom and the first fruiting is a fact
Last year's strawberry cuttings planted through the garden and are blooming brightly in large pots.

Peppermint, lemon balm and nettle provide plenty of leaves for healthy cups of tea. What was once an oregano plant has become a full plant. Thyme and basil are growing rapidly. And the potato plants and onions and garlic are showing off in their rows. Raspberry bushes full of flowers.

With a lot of love and attention, I remove the unwanted herbs and grass and deposit it in the chicken coop. Thankfully, the 3 chickens dig among all the greenery, eat the leaves and the animals in between. 2 to 3 eggs every day whose taste is unbeatable due to the mass production of eggs from the supermarket. The chicken manure goes back into the garden. The circle is complete.

And if you ask how many acres do you have now?? ...... 45 m2 backyard, a green oasis with peonies, gladioli and lilacs in between. A green oasis of peace between the fully tiled neighborhood gardens, where sparrows, blackbirds and butterflies, ladybugs and other insects have their habitat.

Less co2 starts with you. Cooling the Earth? Start with your own backyard.

Grateful for everything that grows and thrives, I wish everyone a nice day.
