How does your garden grow?

[Vito]

The new growing season is about to start.

Sadly Mustafa (one of our keenest vegetable growers here in LI) doesn't post here anymore.
Is anybody else interested in resurrecting our garden thread?

Peace

Just saw this thread but, I will take pics of what my parents have grown so far later this week. Looks like you have a lot in common with my parents because they love to do this stuff and they even have a compost pile as well (no worms though). You got yourself a nice little setup and also some very beautiful pics. :thumbs_up


Saya, I'm lovin the dates as well. Too bad they are so expensive over here, or at least the ones that taste good are.

MuslimahBarb (Nice to see you, sis ) and Kai, I look forward to your contributions.

Let's get growing!

Me too has a small garden here and a bigger on my cottage in country side. Here is still some snow on the ground but maybe I will start growing too after some weeks.

:bump1:

Salaam

I will get some photos taken of our newly planted garden today, inshaAllah. So far the only plants visible will be the tomatoes but, it will be fun to see the garden progress from bare plantless rows, to the point they are producing veggies.

We have no plants yet either, Barb.
Only a few minute seedlings in the coldframe.

You are right, it would be fun to take successive pictures. Perhaps I will start when I come back from work this afternoon ...

Happy growing season, all!

There is not much to see in our garden so far, but here are a couple of things to keep our eyes on:

The peas, which I have sown in our old kitchen sink (That little seedling is almost certainly not a pea, but I am giving it a chance to show me what it really is):

And these pots made from recycled newspaper, in which I have sown cucumbers, courgettes and runner beans:

This is our cloche, which keeps the soil warm during the still chilly nights;

And these are the corinader seedlings:

WOW, glo and Guven, very beautiful gardens.
Mashallah, youre both lucky.

 

[alcurad]

cool

Those pictures are great, Güven! I hope it was you who did all the digging in your garden!

I like the look of that aubergine plant. Is it warm enough where you live to grow aubergines outdoors?


I get quite excited watching the first seedlings emerging from the ground.
Do you remember the seedpots, which I had made from recycled newspaper?
Here they are on day 1 - the day I sowed the seeds:

Here they are again, on day 6. If you look closely you can see that the first green shoots are emerging:

And here, only 4 days later, on day 10. Just look how they have grown! (From left to right there is a row of courgettes/zucchini, one empty row (was supposed to be squashes, but they have not emerged yet), 4 rows of runner beans and one row of cucumbers)

Send more pics, when you get fruit on them.

Just between you and me (don't tell anybody else!), once the seedlings started to emerge I took pictures of them every 24 hours - but I thought it would be too much to post them all ... and people would realise what a sad person I really am!

Ooh mashaAllah, this thread makes me want a garden! Lovely pictures everyone, it must be so nice to see things actually grow after putting all your effort into tending to them.

Ofcourse , but I don't think she will mind though , She loves to work on the garden. :thumbs_up

I will , God willing

Can't you grow a garden in the Middle East ? or is it too warm and not enough rain to make that happen?

 

[Yanal]

MashAllah beautiful gardens. Sadly I don't have a backyard and/or the right kind of soil.
