Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that.
I can imagine it is such a hassle. Luckily you were not harmed.

Still we haven’t found one. The state some cars are in, is just ridiculous. Front window cracked. Ticking of motor etc. it is crazy.
Today a rest day… we have the rental car again until thursday. So tomorrow maybe 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

We had our first frost days. It killed the courgette and cucumber plants… so today we clean up the veggie beds. Getting them ready for the winter.
I will hang the cherry tomatoes plants upside down in the basement and hope the fruits will ripen further. Maybe they wont as they were frozen. I will find out. A shame I lost the last produce….
The season didn’t lasted 3 months.

Oh no, I can only imagine. And cars there go through much worse than here. Cold and extreme weather situations we never experience here. Plus, as I understand from family that live that side, most cars are outside, so always exposed to the elements.

That is such a loss, I am sorry. Only 3 months? That is scary little time. We have year-round weather for produce, some summer crops some winter crops. Lucky for us! But I hope that the winter does not last longer than it should. Rest of our country is almost already into summer, and the place I live at is still battling winter weather! Not fun.

Still no luck finding another car. You are right, they are exposed to all the weather throws at them.
We will figure something out. We gave ourselves a bit more time and rented for 4 weeks a car now.

I knew we would have a short season, but less then 3 months is just to short.
So we either build a heated greenhouse or move again hahaha !LOL this also depends on the job to be honest. So anything can happen in the next months. 😊

It’s great you have so much time for produce, summer and winter crops.
I hope that soon summer starts for you too. Enjoy the change…

Here… every night we have frost. It does give some beautiful photos in the early morning.
I went to the spots I found chanterelles. Only one of them still had some. So that season is gone too now.
Have a fantastic weekend 👋🏻

Why did the farmer dress his pig in an apron?
Pretty soon he would be bacon.

Oh my, so quickly the season changed. Here as well. From being cold and rainy to extremely hot and dry in less than a week! Incredible, really. And the plants are feeling it, but also in a good way. There is so much new growth and flowers in the garden, it is amazing. And the summer seedlings are strong on their way! I cannot wait for the first harvest.

Sorry that you must sit in the cold! But as you say, luckily there is some beauty in it.

Good luck with the car-buying journey! It seems like a real hassle and problem...

Have a splendid new week!

Wow, thats truly fast.
Thats nice to hear there is so much new growth.
I can imagine… first harvest are always soooo good.

We are preparing the house for the winter now the garden is done. All the tasks inside are coming up now. We got lots of paint and wood filler and other tools and materials yesterday. So will be fun to transform it inside. Give everything a nice new bright colour of paint. Fixing things… can’t wait to start.
It will keep me warm hahaha

Thank you, much appreciated. It is a hassle here buying a car. We continue to rent for now. We took some stress off as other things are more important.
Have a wonderful week too 👋🏻😊

You are right, first harvest has something special to it. And it is amazing, in less than 5 days, my seedlings are growing so strong. We will see if the summer sun will do them good.

Oh that sounds really fun though. It sounds like the movies we always watched with the snow outside and people inside having fun, and with you, revamping the space a bit. This is a world we do not know, as the temperatures throughout the year where I live is so good, never cold enough to complain.

Good luck with the car buying when it resumes!

Good to hear your seedlings are growing well and strong. What did you seed?

I will try to photograph the renovations and post about when I finish a part.
It is almost like the movies… here… just a fireplace misses hahaha
I got bigger plans for the wooden flooring. I wanted to do just one colour. But I think the kitchen is screaming for something special. 😉

Yes, having good weather all year, does come with lots of pro’s but I know also with problems.

Have a nice day and end of the week 👋🏻

I sowed some basil seeds this morning and about a month ago I did mustard seeds. So, now I just wait and hope that everything grows as it should! I am also harvesting some rocket seeds.

Oh yes, the kitchen deserves some love, as this is (for me at least) the most important part of any home! It is where the proverbial magic happens.

Nice, I have 2 big pots of basil inside. They are doing so great. Have harvested a lot from it. Some I did freeze in before the 2 times we went abroad for 3 weeks.
Every day I have some fresh basil in the salads 🥗

It’s beautiful to watch it grow… hope all goes well with the seedlings.

Yep, for me too.
So I make sure it will look nice when I finish with the kitchen 😊
