    It all looks wonderful. Sad about your photos.

    Thank you Fire and Bussy. Luckily I lost photos from last few months, rest of my data I have on USB. My colleague (IT professor) will try to restore some of lost data. 

    We have very nice weather, so I hope to grow more veggies till Christmas. January and February are coldest here, so I usually have short winter.

    Hi @Ante1
    Lovely to see you back.  Bad luck about your old computer, I hope your colleague can recuperate the data.

    Good harvest this year despite the growing conditions for you.
    Looking forward to more photos.  
    School holidays perhaps for you now.  Enjoy your them.

    I had short visit to my cottage and have some harvest and photos.

    Radishes





    Black radish. Those are small, but I must give space other to grow.



    Couldn't resist when I was at GC few days ago.

    Loving your updates Ante. How have your hydrangea cuttings done? Those veggie pictures are just beautiful - who could resist such a lovely harvest? I have never eaten a black radish - very fond of the peppery little red ones - do they taste like the red ones?

    Thanks LB. Only four hydrangeas survived and rooted, but I'm satisfied. Black radish is much spicier than red ones, and much bigger. I use them in soups, salads  and stews. It's extremely healthy vegetable.

    @Ante1 I will have to try those. I love hot, spicy food.

    We still have unusually warm weather, and sunny, so every second day I must water my garden. I'm slowly preparing for next year, but there are still winter veggies on the filed. Tomato plants are all out, and green tomatoes are on the sun to ripe. Didn't had a much free time last week, but now we have six days break from the school. I also took 15 rosemary and 40 lavender cuttings. So far I harvested 14 kg of radishes, and still have a lot on the field. Neighbors started to avoid me, so I'll need to give them someone else 😂. I planted musacri bulbs eight days ago and they are already out. Tulips will wait at least few more weeks to go to the soil.

    I bought those lovely chrysanthemum, but they are not for garden.
     


    Yesterday's harvest. Chard and all present radishes.




    Lovely sunshine this afternoon.

    Hi @Ante1

    Lovely weather just like here.  The mercury is at 26°C this afternoon and not a breath of wind!!  You certainly have plenty of radishes.  Do you cook the leaves too?  I cook the youngest ones - just fried with cubes of potato and some chilli flakes.

    Are you having trouble with white butterfly in your cabbages?  They and the snails are really annoying.

    Enjoy your school holidays and I hope you find homes for your harvest!!
