Gardening in the north

[svalli]

We had finally a really warm summer weekend. It has been above 26°C (80°F) in the shadow, which is really warm here. I moved most of my container tomatoes out from the tent GH. In the city I have 23 tomato plants in containers plus peppers, potatoes, cucumbers, squash, peas, yard long beans, lettuce, herbs and strawberries.


This is my in ground urban vegetable plot: onions, beans, carrots, dill, chard, cilantro and some flowers.


Bigger vegetable plot is at my in-laws. Beans on the front were almost killed by frost, luckily I planted some of them in the city. I am growing beans, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, kale, fava beans, beets, chard, carrots, celeriac, onions, corn and potatoes.


My potatoes looked like this a week ago.


This is the MIL's extra greenhouse, where I am growing some tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and melons.


This is how it looks here at midnight in June.


Here is our crow family. I'm feeding them, because they keep the fieldfares away. The filedfares defend themselves by pooping from flight. I have been hit once this summer when riding my bike and it was not a nice experience.
