I cannot take all the credits (my contribution limits to watering them every morning and eat the ones ready )… but with the help of those green-fingers, the fabulous weather, and my eager to eat them all, we have managed to get a wonderful mini-farm.

We started with a nice bunch of biologic (organic) seeds, a good 50 liters of biologic ground and the HUGE luck of almost 2 months of uninterrupted sun (well nowadays it’s hard to say what is normal and what is not normal with all these climate changes)

We started with one line of chard(spanish: acelga; dutch: warmoes); followed by a “forest” of radish (spanish: rábanitos; dutch:radijs), then leek (spanish: puerros; dutch:prei), then baby-carrots (spanish: mini-zanahorias; dutch: bospeen); then a fragrant line of coriander (spanish: cilantro) and finally a big mess (thanks to the cats) of purple-lettuce. Behind all that, there are three pots, one with spinach (spanish: espinaca; dutch: spinazie), another with rockets (spanish: arugula; dutch: rucola), and finally one with more coriander.

Only last week we welcome three more guests into the mini-farm: one yellow and one red bell-pepper plants (spanish: pimentones; dutch: paprika); four tomatoes and couple green-lettuces.

And this is my first bunch of radish… it was just a bomb of flavours, well maybe I’m biased, but I buy radish every saturday at the open-market and nothing compares to this .
