The vegetable garden without getting tired

Beautiful work

[stephgouv]

Thank you!
it encourages me to do better next year!
I already have ideas for improvement (F1 hybrids) germinating in my head!

When ideas germinate, it's because laziness has won you over!

Some news in pictures of my harvests

But first, back on the biggest onion and potato 2020

Hop on the scales!

Ditto for a beetroot

I harvested quite a few cherry tomatoes (about ten every 2-3 days), a few bonus pumpkins (someone advised me to cut after 3-4 fruits to get big ones. I left everything and in addition to having big ones, I had 9 on the same plant!), so I consider these as a bonus.
I also harvested all the tomatoes (and 3 cucumbers) outdoors as they would no longer ripen outdoors. I still have those from the greenhouse to enter too.

I then pulled out (with 2 hands) a tomato plant to see the roots

I have started harvesting Brussels sprouts. At least the biggest

It's crazy like a damaged onion germinates quickly

I think I have enough radish seeds for next year

Radish, seeded

A happy gardener, right ????
It's all that matters ! I don't have the biggest one! Am I satisfied?

I enjoy reading the "bonus pumpkins"!

[stephgouv]

I don't have the biggest one! Am I satisfied?

Yes, of course I am satisfied! Besides, this year I will only have 2 carrots over 3m, but I don't care, because what I'm sure is that they will taste! And that, my family realizes immediately after the first bite!
Concerning the photos of the weigh-ins, it's just to show the "skeptics" that it is not only Didier who manages to have "heavy".

Great ! Your pumpkins make me green with envy ... 9 on the same footing aah that's too much for me. I didn't even get 1 per foot. I find it so good ...
On the other hand, I had carrots ... we console ourselves as we can

[stephgouv]

I had planted (about 3m from each other) only 2 varieties (bright red from Etampes) and on the other variety (yellow from Paris), I only had 2 ... find the mistake...

It is the matter of taste, which is important. I've weighed all of my crops too, to see where I stand compared to other years, so I know right now I'm down to about 120kg of veg and a good 120 or so salad, and I m 'don't care if it's a lot or average for my surface. What interests me is knowing that it represents more than XNUMX kg of taste, of real taste, obtained without any fertilizer or treatment, and with minimal effort. The icing on the cake: my vegetable garden has become "perpetual" almost everywhere, without my intervention. Between the fallen seeds which are now rising (salads and spinach), the forgotten garlic and onions, and a few cabbage and celery, which are just starting to be happy after the drought and heat of summer, there is life. in the vegetable garden.

In terms of taste, it is clear that there is a difference. As for the carrots, I have not eaten as good as this year, and never in the same organic store or at the local market gardener.
