Ever since Amber from @kimchigardens posted her recipe for homemade kimchi, we decided that we need to plant a #napa cabbage this season. Hopefully there are still a couple of growing days left, so that this little guy can grow big and our tummies full of #kimchi!

Many coriander plants will be lost, but their sacrifice will not go in vain. The plant babies that follow, will be stronger than ever. The slugs and snails will finally learn, that their days are numbered... Muahahaha 🐌⚰️☠️

🍎The entirety of our very first apple harvest. Not enough for a cobbler but we couldn't be happier! What a great start!😁

Over the course of the growing season, we have a habit of plotting random seeds in unexpected corners of that garden. Then we totally forget that we did this and so when we find a happy little bean plant the garden, it makes for a great sunday. 🌱

We are sooo excited to be harvesting our first apples this year! But, alas, we were not the only ones awaiting this bounty. Before we were able to harvest, the neighbourhood pigeon decided to eat two whole apples. Curse you pigeon!

Look at this beautiful dog's butt! Also known as the #medlar fruit. But dog's butt has a certain ring to it and using it in normal conversation is a treat for everyone.
FUN FACT: In Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare refers to the Medlar fruit an ¨open-arse fruit¨. You´re welcome.

Ah yes, the humble blackberry. How we crave thee. Alas, as soon as you are ripe, thy neighbourhood pigeon is always first to enjoy your bounty... Curse you pigeon... This is not over... 😼

🌱Thinning is a necessary evil.🌱 You don't want your plants competing for resources. But instead of throwing them into the compost, why not eat them? Packed full of nutrients they're often sold as "fancy"… https://t.co/ORloe91EYH

Thinning is a necessary evil. You don't want your plants competing for resources. But instead of composting them, why not eat them? Add baby seedlings into a salad, an omelette, onto a pizza or a sandwich. Eat your greens, and your thinning too!😁 #thisishowigarden #garden

🌽Our corn harvest has been miserable. We only have 2... maybe 3 ears. BAH! We used Tatonka and Painted Mountain seeds but the main culprit we think was the heat. Last year me messed up pollination, this year watering, but we are not giving up! Third year's the charm?

🌶️We found this tip in one of our (many) gardening books. As soon as the "fruit" is big enough, harvest and mature inside so that the plant can start producing flowers again rather than waste its energy on maturing the chilies. BOOM! #Chilie for days. #gardentips #gardenplanner

@susie_dent Dear Susie Dent, We have a question for you. We are gardeners that live in the Northern Hemisphere. Does that mean we are Northern Hemispherians or Northern Hemispherics or.... Northern Hemispherese...

🥕James Wong a.k.a. @Botanygeek points out that harvesting carrots in the colder months means sweeter roots. This is because the carrot converts the starch into sugars that serve as a type of antifreeze for the plant. Let's see how this little experiment goes!!!🤞🏻#carrot #garden

Sometimes, when we are working hard in the garden, you have imaginary conversations. This is what we call, a garden thought....
