Garden in June

I often didn't feel satisfied at work. I had a great position in a multinational company, but it felt like all I was doing was writing emails and spending time in calls. At the end of the day I didn't see any results of my work and after a while it became frustrating. Gardening is the exact opposite. I spend a lot of time outside 'playing' with soil, talking with our neighbours and I see the results of my work almost immediately. June and July are the months when I see the difference every single day.

Let's see what happened in the last couple of weeks...

I planted my basil about 3 weeks ago and today I was already able to harvest it for the first time! I have learned how to harvest it to promote its growth and like this I can enjoy it until the first frost. This is one of the things that I don't plant from seeds because the slugs always get to them first and it's a wasted effort on my side. I rather buy 2 pots full of tiny seedlings, split them and plant them around my greenhouses.

And yes, as you can see, we have started enjoying raspberries too!
