Früchte, Kräuter und Gemüse aus meinem Garten / Fruits, Herbs and Vegetables in my garden
Hallo Freunde... Hello everyone...

Gestern habe ich euch Bilder von Beeren aus meinem Garten gezeigt. Um das Gemüse zu schützen, muss ich immer hart gegen die spanischen Wegschnecken
kämpfen. Ich weiß nicht, was ich noch tun kann, außer zu hoffen, Ok... lassen wir einfach unser Gemüse sehen, das wir noch retten konnten |
Yesterday I have shared some pictures of berries from my yard. I always had to fight hard against spanish slugs for the vegetables. I just have no idea anymore what to do, except hoping that the useful creatures Well yeah, let's just see the other fruits of mine and the rest of veggies which had survived the slugs attack... |
Muscat bleu: They taste very sweet and aromatic.
The Corn...
Sugarpeas
|
This is the variety of cucumber that often used to make pickle.
| ||||||
| Cherry blossoms. This is self-pollinating, so I don't need to plant two trees to get fruits. However there are enough cherry trees in the neighbourhood although motst of them are the sour varieties. My cherry variety is named "Lapins" and tastes very sweet.  |
 | ||||||
| Außerdem müssen wir noch mit den Vögel konkurrieren. Sie sind echt sau schnell. Mein Mann hat mal gesagt "Lass uns die Kirschen morgen erst pflücken, wenn sie schon richtig rot sind." Aber ... am nächsten Tag waren alle schon komplett weggefressen! Ich hoffe, dass wir nächstes Jahr etwas mehr Kirschen bekommen. Wir haben den Kirschbaum erst vor 3 Jahren gepflanzt. Er ist noch relativ jung, deshalb produzierte er noch nicht so viele Früchte. |
But at the moment we are still competing with the birds in harvesting it. They are sooooo fast. One day my husband said, "Well...ok, we would pick the fruits tomorrow, when it's completely red." But the next day, they are all gone... T_T Well... I hope we would have more next year... This cherry was planted 3 years ago, so it's rather young. That's why it still hasn't produced many fruits yet. | ||||||

 On the left is a fig tree that supposed to be winterhard. But let's see, when this winter has passed, if it's true or not. It's still alive today, but I wonder if it will bear another fruits and will be ripe before it's getting too cold again. last year it didn't ripened. In a pot above is sweet paprika. | ||||||
 Staudensellerie Celery |
 Above in a pot is in Indonesia called "Kangkung", but here in Germany called water spinach. It tastes very delicious sautéed with garlic, onions, a bit of soy sauce, tomatoes and chilis.  I have 4 varieties of thyme but here are only three of them to be seen: broad-leaved thyme, Golden Dwarf thyme, Garden thyme (Thymus vulgaris)  Lemon balm  Cherry tomatoes. These variety tastes very sweet.  Above are some asian shallots, whereas below is a butterhead lettuce.  Ok ... that's all for today... | I'll see you again next time with another stuff from my garden... Have a nice evening everyone and thanks in advance for your vote. :) If you don't want to miss my next garden photos, don't forget to follow me by clicking this: |

Sehr schöne Fotos & noch schönere Früchte / Gemüse / Kräuter!
Diese Trauben sehen so lecker aus :D
Gegen Schnecken könnte ein Netz helfen, das man über das Gemüse spannt. Bei Trauben oder anderen großen Gewächsen klappt das nicht gut, bei Spinat, Zucchini & co. ist das jedoch sehr gut.

You have a great assortment of garden fruits, vegetables, and herbs! Very nice!
I can relate about having slug problems, for sure! I have found that they hide out in the grass during the day and come into the garden at night. So a wide band of bare soil or wood chip mulch helps a lot, because they have to leave protection.
I have a Lapins cherry, too, here in Oregon's Willamette Valley. They are a tasty cherry! They are the last to get ripe, out of the different kinds that I have. I have sat in my office, on a conference call, and watched Cedar Waxwing birds strip my entire tree of Early Burlat cherries in one hour! I couldn't even stop them because I had to be on the phone call. So maddening! So I was glad to have Lapins still not ripe then! :O
Here's to great gardens for everyone in 2017!
Yes, indeed. We don't want to use chemicals to fight them. So we only tried the natural way.
Chemicals would not only harm the slugs but also the other creatures and the environment.
Although there are some stuff which are said to be naturally degradable so that it wouldn't damage the environment, but it would be harmful to another kind of snails, that are useful like Leopard slugs and Escargots for example, because they have similar body characteristic.
A beer trap would not only attract slugs in our garden but also inviting slugs from neighbour's garden, so it's not a solution either. :-D
Finally my husband had to personally help the limax maximus and the ground beetles in hunting slugs LOL.
Especially when it's a rainy days... he would hunt slugs at night and throw them in the composter to let the leopard slugs have a party.
We had planted some pyracanth near the cherry tree as an attempt to distract the birds. It's supposedly loved by the birds too. I hope it will work ^_^
Have a nice gardening too soon.
I'm looking forward seeing yours ;)
Your husband is a good friend of the Leopard Slugs and Ground Beetles! Now he just needs a T-shirt that says that, lol! ; )
hahahahhahaha
Perhaps I need to make one for him :-D
:D
Nice gardening! I especially like the cherry tomatoes and the graphes (Muscat bleu) in the first picture. Thanks a lot for sharing!
You're wellcome.
I also planted a white grape, but it hasn't produced any fruit yet, so I didn't take any photo of it.
However, this violet one is my favourite anyway.
Btw... I'm looking forward seeing yours too :)
Have a nice weekend.
That's great! I'm look forward to seeing the white grapes in the near future! :)
Have a pleasant weekend! ;)
