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
#sunviva turşusu yaptım. İlk turşu deneyimim. Başarırsam seneye daha da geliştiririm.

The fruits of tonight’s mad dash harvest of the feral garden to get as much picked before the cold snap starts signaling to the plants to slow down. I think we have some work to do. 🌱#gardening #oklahoma #okwx
TIL our garden soil is pH neutral (to my surprise). Beautiful royal blue!

Ironically, the bean plants that did the best were the vines the squirrels planted in the corner of the yard. The beans I planted in the garden were overrun with weeds. #gardenthoughts
The garden festival / Landesgartenschau was not just about #gardening. There were also events etc. (Which we didn't attend)
One place was about #floristry with really beautifully decorated arrangements. I'm always a bit jealous of such things. They look really beautiful, and requir…
A crown on the garden.

Bahçe işiyle uğraşmanın en önemli özelliklerinden biri paylaşmaktır. İsteyen olursa mektup zarfıyla yollarım.

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
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!
