One reason why we chose #Baiersbronn for our last vacation was the #Landesgartenschau (#Garden show?).
It would have been a gem for flower and garden
TIL our garden soil is pH neutral (to my surprise). Beautiful royal blue!

Most of the garden hasn't gone to plan this year. But the golden raspberries are coming in nicely. Picking them reminds me of advice a friend's grandfather gave me - you'll know it's ripe when the raspberry comes off easily. He always chastised us if we came back with juice-covered hands. #gardenthoughts
Bahçe işiyle uğraşmanın en önemli özelliklerinden biri paylaşmaktır. İsteyen olursa mektup zarfıyla yollarım.

The garden festival / Landesgartenschau was not just about #gardening. There were also events etc. (Which we didn't attend)

The new fence is basically done!!
Funny story that will hit home to anyone on Vancouver Island:
Two days ago the builders hadn’t added the new top section to the big gate in the back. A very large buck/deer jumped the fence and bent the wire so they had to try and bend it back out the best they could”
This is particularly funny for us because the other side, near the chicken coop (before it was there) the old fencing was bent from an over-eager bear trying to climb in.
Just mother nature ensuring balance, new and old, bent and unbent.
I am glad we are now bylaw-compliant for the #poolpond and the edibles should be out of the reach of the larger animals (racoons and birds and cats and squirrels and whatever other small creatures are inescapable)
The arbutus tree is now leaning against the fence. We'll see if it gets the message and grows in a more vertical kind of way naturally relieving stress from the fence, or if we might have to provide in a portal.
The most surprising part they managed to conquer was lifting the grape as high as they did! Very satisfied with that development!

The garden has started producing more than herbs this week. Here is the last couple of days' harvest (along with some cherry tomatoes the kids got to first). Not bad for maybe 4m².
