Almost Everything Planted
Hello everyone! 😎
That's the third post about my fieldwork this season. It's meant for me for the archives and for everyone else who follows my farming.
In the first post two months ago I briefly described how I started to clean the field, in the second two weeks ago how we plowed the field and started planting, and now here is the third post where the field is almost all planted.
Tomatoes first! I dug holes for the seedlings and installed support poles, wooden, 1.5 m high. Last year I had some smaller ones, but in the autumn everything broke, so this year I decided to put in bigger and stronger ones.
My wife and I planted three varieties of tomatoes, seedlings, including one type of cherry tomato. Atos is in control. :) 😁
Then four types of regular, non-spicy peppers, I chose them because they are different colors.
Last year they were small, probably because we watered them too little (almost nothing).
Next up were Hokkaido pumpkins, which are very tasty roasted, and we also use them to make soups. They are very hardy and last the whole winter in the cellar.
After two weeks, the potatoes are out. Thought it would take longer because we planted our last year's potatoes and not this year's seed, but it didn't.
I almost forgot to mention that I also planted four chili seedlings. I did this last year and made more than two liters of very strong homemade chilli sauce from about one and a half kilograms of chilies. It's so strong that there are a few bottles left :)
I bought various seedlings and planted them next to tomatoes, apparently, they shouldn't be next to regular peppers because then everything gets hot...
The field is slowly taking shape. For now, it's good because the weeds are not growing so fast and there are no snails to be seen.
It would be good if it started to rain so that I don't have to water. Otherwise, I have a river next to me from which I can fill my water tank, so that won't be a problem either.
And finally, dinner for today. I expected no more asparagus, but I still picked up about half a kilo. They will be great with eggs in a fritaja. This recipe is for wild asparagus but the cultivated ones will be just as tasty.
Thank you for your attention and continue following in my farming!

YAH!
Awesome stuff man! I have fortified my garden boxes against rabbits, dogs and other creatures and all I can think of is the animals that will be happy when they discover your field! ;)
As a hot pepper guy, I saw a report that the Chocolate Habanero is the BEST pepper when you consider the balance of heat and flavour. Our of hundreds of peppers, I do love the heat of habaneros and they make for some wonderful sauces but I have never grown the chocolate kind!
I will follow along for sure to get your growing adventure lessons and see how they turn out for you.
#gardenhive is a great tag for connecting with the community of growers and gardeners here too.
Hi, @zekepickleman thanks for the visit and the tag to use. As for the rest:
The animals are always around and eat some, but not much in the last five years. Only the first year the wild boars destroyed my potatoes. I see roe deers every day, they like soya and chickpeas, but they don't eat everything.
The worst nuisance is snails (because there are a lot of bushes next to the field and they hide in the damp). I've found a solution for that, you won't believe it: Beer!
I put half-liter cups at the edge of the field towards the woods, every few meters, and poured beer into them, and the next day a huge number of snails were swarming in. The only problem is that they drink more beer than I do :) After all, if it's bad I can make a fence.
I haven't grown Chocolate Habanero yet, it's quite hot, we'll see how much it is.
Chocolate Habanero shouldn't be any hotter than other habaneros but they do pack a punch. Not like ghost peppers or other insane ones but hotter than jalapenos. The chocolate ones are supposed to have the most flavour so good selection!
Beer! Is there anything it can't do?!
We planted everything about 2 month ago. Now it is hot 38 and impossible to plant everything. Wait for next updates from your garden))
Yes, if it rains it will be full of weeds and there will be an update on cleaning them up.

Hmmm, this once again shows me how very far far behind we are this year with our plants :-( But still they will have enough time to grow I hope !ALIVE
@seckorama! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @beeber. (2/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
I don't understand what exactly you mean by that? Have you planted everything? I was late but again not that late. I have not planted sweet corn, which is the biggest plant.
I mean, our potatoe cucumber and others, they are so small and still in little pots.
