We have about 4kg of tomatos out of the garden simmering in 2 pots on the gas hob at the moment making realish....
Almost the last of the crop now, Think we have done around 5 or 6 batches todate.


Here in germany its early spring, just yesterday we seeded peperoni, tomatoes and lots other crops. We have a great garden and in sumer we need not to buy veggies. Then we are living from the fertility of our soils.

Now 20 kg of Kiwifruits are waiting to be worked up. I think we produce some tasty kiwivine from those

We produce wines from every fruit growing in our garden, just now while writing i'm drinking a mixed wine from kiwi and currant, very tasty!

We loooove potatoes, the first ones from the owne garden were celebrated on the barbicue.
Today we harvested the first ramsons and after the strong winter we could play tabeletennis and heat the barbicue the first time this year.

We do not grow cabbage anymore, there are too much pests flying, it's no fun anymore.

Capsicum and peppers take the most room. Tomatoes, too.

Herbs take much of our place too.

O.K. and the grases and everything for our kakariki, 1/3rd. Sometimes we think they eat much more than two humans. <v>

And from everything a little bit.
The first rule in the garden: You have to harvest everything at the same time Shocked

Anmd yes, its spring in gemany:

Very nice pics of the flowering veggies!
Wlcome back Georg! It's a pity you didn't send an e-mail to Steptoe to fix the IP adress thing. He blocks a number of countries because of hacking issues in the past. Nevertheless I wouldn't expect Germany to be blocked.

Steps, maybe we can take a look at the banned countries and update it? Maybe some people is trying to visit and they can't.

About fruit wine... do you mean wine, as of the typical wine made of grape, or are you talking juice? Or... are you talking liquor?

I ask about liquor because here in my region it's very typical to use the raw liquor obtained from wasted grapes (wasted after squeezing them for wine), and then mix it with fruits. The raw liquor is something similar to vodka.
Typically people drink shots of the raw thing, or herbs liquor (the raw thing + a few aromatic herbs), and then some fruits like cherry, strawberry, kiwi, etc..

Yes spamming is really terrible, i run my german kakariki-forum for only half a year, and had to block some countries immideately. Usbekistan was the worst. Now i have probs with spammingbots. Some are able to post inspite of captchafilters. The part where guest were able to post their give-away birds had to be closed, every day 4 to five really unfine postings
