I done a lot of work on the fields last week and just want to show you progress with my veggies. The biggest job is finished at Monday, 120 kg of potatoes is planted. It was quite hard because temperature was 32℃ in a shade. Two days ago I planted 100 tomatoes, 100 peppers, 20 aubergines (first round, have 40 more), 30 cucumbers and 10 hot peppers Hungarian hot wax. Next week I must trim the grass between fruit trees and pull out weeds. I'm quite satisfied this year because all seeds are sprouting very well and plants look good and healthy.
Now few photos. Sorry for a long post.
Potatoes planting. First one in progress and second when all was done.
Sweet corn and french beans. I need to weed between them. Weeds are also thriving.
Hazel bushes, they will be three years old at autumn. First year was harsh.
I have flowers too, not only veggies. 😁
My garden is always cat friendly and those young ones indeed enjoy to spend time in it.
@Ante1 Goodness you have worked so very hard. How do you manage to get all this done and go to to work as well. Everything looks amazing. Your flowers are so beautiful and your little cats are gorgeous too 😍 Enjoy a lazy day today, you must be exhausted. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos.
Ante, it is so lovely to see the results of all your hard work so far this growing season - no wonder you had back ache earlier! I hope that all your seedlings and young plants flourish and you get your usual excellent veggies. Great to see the tiny, furry members of your family too, enjoying their time in your garden
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Goodness me Ante - you are such a hard worker. Tending your market garden looks to be a full time job - but you already have one of those! Full of admiration for how well and how much you've done. As LB said - it's no wonder your back has been sore after all that.
Do you water / irrigate the land? Do you have a large industrial system in place? I can't think you can do it manually with a hosepipe.
I want one of those kittens🥰
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Thank you ladies for kind words. I appreciate you all very much.
@Topbird, sadly we don't have any natural source of water except rain. I don't irrigate potatoes, but I add to soil some sort of gel, which accumulate water and release it when is needed. All other veggies I water with hose pipe, because I have four canister installed where I can gather 5000 l of rainwater.

I follow a market gardener in the UK called Charles Dowding
You may find it of interest..in fact I bet he may find what you do of equal interest.
Looking forward to updates.
