First Gardening Report
It's the 3rs day of May today and this is my first gardening report this year. Other years this time I had at least two already, but this year is different as I haven't been participating in gardening works and most likely my future participation will be less as well because my time is limited. However, today I'd like to show you what the garden looks like. All you see here is my dad's work, all credits go to him.
Let start with this beauty, which is called German iris and contrary to what it seems, doesn't need much care. All I do every year is cut the dry stems after the flowers are gone and that's all. It's a beautiful flower, nothing like other flowers and that's why I like it.
Most likely you know how much I love buds and that applied here as well. Look at those petals, look at the texture! This is why I love this flower.
This petunia is more than interesting. I think I took 10 photos as all of them seemed blurry, but I had to realize I was wrong. Those white spots look like the light a disco globe reflects and make your eyes think the photo is blurry.
This is a different one, this photo doesn't seem blurry :)
This is the onion flower, which is just for decorative purposes, nothing to do with the actual onion. This year we only have purple, but previously we had white as well.
Look who I met while photographing the onion flower. A fellow Hive user, but they were not interesting in meeting me at all. It's not a good feeling to be ignored, but it is what it is.
Scrolling back I can see I only posted blue ad purple flowers till this point, so let's change that and go to the garden.
This year the gardening season starter later than usual and at this point there is not much to show. This is the garlic, which surprisingly looks way better than any other year. Usually the onion look better and the garlic looks like sowed much later, but this year things got inverted.
I can't remember when we had such a poor onion season. Turns out the situation is the same at the neighbor's too. I don't know what's causing it, but we are not going to have onions this year, that's for sure.
We never have radish, but for some reason my dad sowed some this year ad surprisingly, look at how beautiful it is.
This is the tomato. This year my dad reduced the size of the vegetable garden because it's too much work and we don't need that much. In previous years we had 3 times more, but those times are long gone. One sheet is enough.
These are the eggplant seedlings, ready to be take their final place. Do you see that old school watering can? That was my granddad's :)
This is the celery, which I don't like, but it's good when you make different sauces.
Gooseberries look good, still small but so far so good. These are not going to turn red or white, but have a wonderful taste when ripe.
Currants are so-so, unfortunately. Looking at this photo you'd say lovely, but this is maybe the best of the best.
Look at this. Half is missing already. I don't know why.
Unfortunately that was not the only damage. Walnuts got damaged pretty bad. There was a frost in April and this is what the leaves look like. Last year we had no walnuts and I think the situation will be the same this year.
Today my task was yard work. The neighbor cut some branches and I had to clean the place, carry those branches to a dedicated place. It's not a work I'm used to, so I think it can be considered a good cardio training. At least my body tells me to.
This is it at the moment, but I hope next time I can show you more.

I think I know what your favourite colour is (or your dads) 😀
A vegetable garden can be a lot of work indeed, so I understand why your dad made it smaller.
I just have a small one in our backyard. I did make it a bit bigger, but it still is small.
Lol, totally wrong, I don't like purple and neither does my dad 😂 pure coincident.
I hope your garden is doing well :)
Those onion flowers look beautiful
I'm not a huge fan of them, but I'm glad you like them :)
I love the color

You have to have faith in the strength of the plants, they are adapting to changes to survive, just hope that the plant will last and the next generation will be stronger 🙏

I love it. I have a neighbor that has an old barn with lots of old farming tools. Pretty cool stuff.
Wow what a garden. I didn't know you grew so much (even reduced it overwhelms my few beds).
Seems you are a few weeks ahead of me weather-wise. We just seeded some radish and your garlic is much bigger.
We started one month later this year. Other years we can start the works mid March, but it was too cold this year and rainy too. You'll get where we are pretty soon, no worries :)
The close up photos of the flowers are absolutely beautiful, I am amazed at all the details we miss when we look at things, if we get a little closer we can find a different world in just one flower and I was even more surprised to find out that they don't need so much care. Excellent work from your father
Most of the people are walking blind, every single day. They are so focused on problems they don't see the small details, unfortunately.
