I haven’t been here for a while, due to multiple reasons. One of them was my moving to a countryside. Although all things about moving were ugly, one fact makes it all better- that I am living in a little cottage in a picturesque village, near my hometown. My animals have space to run and even some trees to climb on and I have some ground for growing flowers, vegetables and herbs.
My vegetable garden started accidentally. I wanted to take with me some plants, so I put them in pots, filled with soil from my backyard, where I had three cherry tomatoes plants. And when I moved to a cottage and put those pots on the porch, in few days, some new plants started to emerge. All of a sudden, pots were full of tomato sprouts from the seeds that were in the ground! I replaced them in a bigger pot until they became big and strong enough, so I could plant them in a garden. Since there’s a good soil here, I put some pumpkins, cucumber, sunflower and paprika seeds in to the ground, in order to make some sprouts for planting. And everything grew! Now I’m dealing with my plants: watering them, plucking grass from their beds and talking with them, as any real country girl does. And I found that the most interesting thing to do. ?

I’ve never used pesticides, but I use fertilizer occasionally.
I use compost. That way I return to the Earth at least a bit of what I got from it. 🙂
Aha! Now I know why you disappear for long! Hey, I thank you for all your visit to my posts! That’s quite surprising me while I buried with all jobs time and family activities!
Gardening is the best way to feel the love of nature!!! I’m glad you enjoy it, Zaklina! Organic? Hmmm… that’s the best way to planting for me!
That wasn’t the only reason of my absence. I couldn’t log in for a long time so, as soon as I appeared here, I tried to catch up with your posts. 🙂
I never thought about me as gardener, but it happened that I tried and found it amusing. Now, I have three small patches with vegetable and one with herbs and flowers. Finally, I have ”a Mrs. Cat’s garden experience” in real life. 😀
Can not login? Why? What happened?
When you start to love plants, they will give you a lot of love…
I still don’t know what has happened and if it could happen again. Hope not, but one could never know for sure….
You’re right about plants. Now, it’s pure love, the relationship we developed to each others. 🙂
You do not know what really has happened and now, alakazam! You can do it like before! That’s great! I feel happy for you!
Stay close and friendly with worms and insects, they help a lot!
Thanks, T. 🙂 My hometown is Leskovac and the place I am now is called Grdelica. You have an open invitation to visit me anytime. 🙂
You’re very welcome. 🙂 Any time. 🙂
Seeing these photos of r arden brings back some bittersweet memories for me. Great pics. Shared…if fakebook doesn’t wonk up again on e, as usual.
Thanks. 🙂 I have to make more beds for other vegetables, so there will be more posts on that topic. 🙂
What a wonderful picture and a great poll! Really useful information thanks for sharing!
What’s up, Doc? 😀 Glad to see you. 🙂 Thanks for the compliments. 🙂
You are most welcome, great job on the picture!
Thanks! 🙂 Pictures in my next post will be more interesting….. 😉
This is nice, a nice garden indeed! Pumpkin flower?
Thanks, that means a lot to me. 🙂 Yes, it’s a pumpkin flower, isn’t it gorgeous? Some of my tomatoes are blooming, too. 🙂
You will love your new home, especially with a garden. I hated gardening when I was a kid growing up on a farm and all the other kids were out playing while I was home weeding. One of my jobs was pulling caterpillars off our rows and rows of tomato plants. I hated that so much that when I was grown up I avoided gardens like the plague until learning about hydroponic growing. No dirt, no bugs, no stooping. Organic. Indoors. Now I grow as much of my own food as possible for a person who travels constantly and doesn’t have much of a yard.
I already love my new home. 🙂 Your childhood seems to be very interesting, regarding that I grew up in a city never seeing anything growing. I’ll keep posting about my new home, garden and animals. 🙂
Glad to hear it. I look forward to more of your posts, Zaklina.
Thanks for your support. 🙂 I won’t disappoint you. 🙂
Very interesting poll! The closest to having my own vegetable garden is when I was a child and my grandma let me plant a few seeds and take care of the plants. But I have always wanted to be able to produce my own vegetables.
Such a nice memory and a nice dream. 🙂 I hope you’ll have your garden one day. For me it’s a dream came true. 🙂
Radujem se članku.
Pipun, kavada i karpuza.
Dinja, paradajz i lubenica, u slučaju da neko ne zna hercegovačke nazive.
Hvala. 🙂 Nisam znala te nazive. Vrlo su interesantni. 🙂
Good to see you and glad you got moved in and seem happy. Love your garden.
Thanks, Carol, it’s good to be here again. 🙂 I am waiting forward to see the final products of my little agrarian project. 🙂 In the meantime, I am going to update you with my garden news. 🙂
I use organic bug control. There are several available and work pretty good!
Thanks. 🙂 I use nettle vine and it worked pretty well so far. 🙂
Great post, I have a little garden and I eat organic food
That’s really great! 🙂 This is the first time that I have an opportunity to grow my own garden, so I’ll get the best of it. First of all, everything will be pure organic. 🙂
And I’m second year old, I’m still learning. Before I lived in the apartment
Oh, than you’re more experienced. 🙂 I might ask for some advice regarding gardening and stuff. 🙂
All I know, I’ll tell you
Good post, Is that your own private garden in home ?
Thank you. 🙂 Yes, it is. I made a vegetable garden in one corner of the yard and a herb garden in another. Since I am all in to natural ways, I planted St. John’s wort, lemon balm, yarrow, wild mint and oregano beside dandelion, nettle and marigold which were already here. Now I have plenty of herbs for teas and tonics. 🙂
that’s really great , I would to to visit this garden
Hahahahaha! Feel free to visit it if you come to Serbia. 🙂
Good post. I use water in which I spend the Nettle for watering and spraying,
Thanks. 🙂 I used nettle vine before and it worked very well, so I intend to continue with that practice. 🙂
