My main focus is tomato's, paprika, peas, beans, potato's, strawberries and herbs. I don't grow a lot of them, just as many as I can fit.

Re: Greetings

I start them off behind the windows and when the weather is good I harden them of and keep them on the balcony. I haven't had much luck these last few years (mainly due to poor maintenance) but I've got a feeling this will be my lucky year.

Re: Pear tree pruning

Also (from heresay, aka gardeners world) you should prune te crossing branches. Cause the branches can rub against oneanother causing wounds which can be an entrypoint for fungus. I hopeI heard that right...

Re: Greetings

Hoi uit het wonderschone Rotterdam (greetings from the wonderful city of Rotterdam) I am envious of the amount of space you have. I only have a balcony to grow on at the moment and although it is a nice size, it comes no where near your 800m2. Lovely to meet other people from our small country here ...

Re: ish poetry

Only you and the paper
Emptiness
Put down your lines and write
Every stroke has meaning
The letters telling
The message on paper

Been improving my handwriting. Maybe I'll even try calligraphy. Would be nice to be able to write some of my poems down.
