Lovely photos @Ante30. We were in Croatia a couple of years ago for a family holiday and were very impressed by all the vegetables we saw growing everywhere! We particularly noticed just how much when we flew from Zagreb to Split. Wonderful! Croatia is a lovely country and I would really like to visit again one day.
Good evening all. In last ten days I done some jobs on the land, and tomorrow, after few rainy days, I'll plant onions. Seedlings are progressing very well, and I already pricked out tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. We avoided frost in last two days, so this year we might have decent fruit crop. I didn't mention before that I have small orchard with 60 apple, 20 chery, 10 pears trees and few others. There is also 60 hazel bushes. It's still very young orchard, only four years old.
Field for onions, my small machine and onion sets.
Some pepper and cucumber seedlings.
Early flowering fruit trees now have small fruits. This year we will have apricots and almonds. At these early phase they look almost the same.
For the end yellow (my favorite) colour. Forsythia and spanish broom.
It passed a month since my last post and I done a lot of work on the land. First, all my onions are planted, and I sowed sweet corn, beets, yellow and normal carrots. Field for pumpkins, squashes and courgettes is prepared and I'll wait at least one more week to plant seedlings out. All my fruit trees are packed with flowers and as we don't expect any more frost, it could be a fruitful year. Today arrived my sweet potato seedlings, O'Henry variety (100 plants). I'll plant them out at Thursday.
Sweet potato seedlings. Who could tell that there is 65 seedlings in that small container. Other 35 came in bunch.
Just one part of my young plants.
I also have a few house plants. One yucca was overgrown and deformed and I cut it of. For experiment I cut the stem on few smaller pieces and put in water. Today I saw new growth, so it experiment is successful so far.

Thank you for the photos.

@SlipperyElm, I can feel and smell Spring in the air. I hope that we all will be able to spend more time outside.
@didyw, I'm glad that you had a nice time in Croatia. Indeed, many young people tray to go back to country and have gardens.
