Hey all

Been away for a few days on holiday and been BUSY! Shit is kickinbg off bigtime

Ive been eating pretty much only from the farm. Already picked quite a few kilos of green beens, more than enough zuccinis to feed myself as well as a few cucumbers. Loads of lettuces have been fed to the chicken and i left for holiday for 3 days and before i left i shoved like 8 lettuces in their gaff. When icame back i had 12 eggs, happy fucker.
Theres lots of weeds to pull and its sooo fucking hot im not even joking. Watering every day is a necessity now, even with the drip feed and even with the plastics.
Things lush though except for the peppers, top dressed them with some compost to see if i can get things klcking. Been pulling weeds like crazy. Also got genetics for my bean plot. The quinoa i dont even wanna discuss it its forgotten and what a fucking waste of work.tomatoes willbe here soon too and the kale is almost ready to have a few leaves picked! Coriandr almost seeding, and i realized coriander needs a huge area to give you enough coriander to say you have coriander. Proly will doube the area and divide into 4 and plant 1 each week so as to hopefully get a couple of handfulls of the fuckers a week. Theyre the healthies and best tasting her ever, i realy recommend everyone growing it and eating it. The ones stores have are full of amonia. If you see coriander with big leaves do not get it, its pumped full of shite. Coriander is a delicate herb and its leaves are small and stalks full of flavour.
Loquats are kinda shitty. I need to see if i treat the fungus infection it has, though to be honest its a type that only affects the loquat and i dont like fruit much so... i dunno i just like sitting under it... Will soon have plums and enough grapes to make wine if my fancy get so tickled.

ANyways here are the pics, also just had for dinner sauteed courgette with chickpea and cucumber salad, only the ckickpeas arent from my huerto.

Look at green beans climbing up cane, easily 4 m up in the air. I think its the foliar with miolasses that gives it the power lol.

Very tall tomato plants, fruits forming nicely should give it more foliar though...

I just notiuced thats a fucking trippy colour!

Anyways getting ready to plant shit lot of beans and scraping the quinoa. Wish me luck on my venture! I know those will grow cause they grow just like green beans and done a decent job with them so far. I love when i eat from my farm. Best part is i hardly ever work much on it. Apart from when i was laying the plastics and irrigation and that was only like a morning as well as planting. Now its just weeding when if i feel like it cause hardly anything pops up near the plant base due to plastics and colletc fruit. Simple and easy. Oh and i foliar at least 1 a week.


Thanks for poppin in people!
