Plant-Aardig stopt...

Toen ik een aantal jaren geleden behoorlijk ziek werd van een aantal slepende voedselallergieën besloot ik hierover een blogje te beginnen. Ik dacht dat ik misschien mensen kon helpen omdat er toen nog niet zoveel informatie over "anders" eten bestond dan nu. Ik besloot het op mijn manier te doen en de recepten te gaan tekenen inplaats van de fotograferen. Toen ik eenmaal begonnen was merkte ik dat het mij ook hielp alles een plek te geven en te verwerken. Ik heb altijd met veel plezier de recepten en de citaten over eten getekend, maar de laatste tijd merkte ik dat het een verplichting werd. Elke week iets nieuws verzinnen en op de automatische piloot de citaten tekenen. Daar komt bij dat de laatste tijd zoveel bekend is over gezond eten of eten met bepaalde allergieën dat ik mijn blog ook een beetje nutteloos vind worden. Voor nu besluit ik voorlopig te stoppen met Plant-Aardig. Misschien dat over een tijd mijn enthousiasme weer terug komt… Dankjewel aan iedereen die regelmatig hier kwam kijken!!!

Wil je me blijven volgen als kunstenaar kan dat op Instagram of Facebook. 

A few years ago I became sick as an result of some food allergies and I decided to start a blog about it. I thought I could maybe help other people because at that time there was not much information about eating "different" then there is now. I decided to do it my way and draw the recipes instead of taking pictures. Once I had started I noticed that blogging helped me to deal with my own allergies. I always worked on the recipes and quotes with a lot of fun, but the last couple of weeks I noticed that it became an obligation. To come up with something new every week and drawing the quotes on autopilot. The other thing is that for the last years there is much more information about eating healthy or with food allergies that I feel that my blog is a bit useless. For now I decided to quiet with Plant-Aardig. Maybe my enthusiasm comes back someday… Thank you to every one who visited my blog regularly!!!

uit de tuin...

… voor volgend jaar! Nu de zomer toch echt langzaam in de herfst overgaat, raakt de moestuin ook aardig leeg. Vorig jaar had ik al ontdekt dat als je de rucola-sla niet opeet, maar gewoon lekker door laat groeien er prachtige bloemetjes aan komen en later de zaden. Dus dat heb ik dit jaar weer gedaan en nu heb ik een flinke oogst aan zaden om weg te geven aan vrienden. Op de onderste foto zie je de bos rucola drogen in de zon waar ik later de zaadjes uithaal. Datzelfde experiment maar puur uit toeval omdat we ze vergeten waren op te eten, gebeurde dit jaar met drie radijzen. Ik wilde ze al uit de grond halen toen mijn vriend voorstelde deze ook eens te laten zitten. Het werden een soort struiken met ook leuke bloemetjes waar later een soort peulvruchten aan komen. Zie de beide foto's boven. In die vrucht zitten de kleine zaadjes voor volgend jaar. Even afwachten hoe die zaadjes het volgend jaar zullen doen!

Summer is definitely ending and fall is coming and the vegetable garden is getting empty. Last year I discovered that if you don't eat the rucola-salad, but just let it grow it gets really nice flowers and a bit later seeds. So I did that this year again and now I have a lot of seeds to give a away to friends. In the lower picture you can see the rucola drying in the sun. That same experiment but pure out of coincidence because we forgot to eat them, happened with 3 radishes. I wanted to pull them out but my boyfriend suggested we just let them grow. They became a sort of bushes with also nice flowers and later on they got some sort of legumes. See the upper pictures. Inside the legumes there are the little radish seeds for next year. We'll see how they will grow next year!

I'm back!

Ik ben weer terug na een heerlijke vakantie! Ik heb maar een foto genomen die over eten gaat en dat is deze, omdat we daar zo heerlijk aan het water zaten. Voor de rest heb ik vooral genoten van het landschap en me niet bezig gehouden met wat ik op mijn blog kon zetten. Na drie weken weg te zijn geweest werd ik in de tuin verrast met heerlijke dingen die we meteen konden eten!

I'm back from a wonderful holiday! I only took one picture about food and that is this one, because it was such a lovely spot at the water where we could eat. I enjoyed to landscape and I didn't think about what I could do for my blog. After 3 weeks away from home my garden surprised me with some delicious things we could eat right away!

tot snel! see you soon!

Ik neem een kleine pauze en bezoek (alweer ;-)) het hoge noorden. Ik wens iedereen alvast een fijne zomer en ik ben er weer in Juli. Tot dan!

I take a little break and visit (again;-)) the north of Europe. I already wish everyone a nice summer and I'll be back in July. See you in a couple of weeks!

bloei en groei!

De lente is er natuurlijk al een tijdje en eind Maart begin ik meestal met het voorzaaien van de tomaten, paprika's, chili's en komkommers. Nu is het al Mei en na wat behoorlijk koude dagen, breekt ondertussen geregeld de zon door. De eerste radijsjes en tuinkers heb ik al op en werd het ook tijd om de broccoli, erwt en courgette naar buiten te planten (sommige toch echt van de AH-moestuintjes actie en ze doen het prima;-)) Nu hopen dat alles mooi blijft groeien en we een fijne zomer krijgen, zodat ik de foto's van de groenten ook kan plaatsen!

Of course spring is already here for some time and mostly I begin to sow tomatoes, peppers, chili-peppers and cucumber by the end of March inside. Now May is here and we had some pretty cold days but now the sun has some chances too, luckily! I already ate the first radish and garden cress and it became time to plant broccoli, peas and zucchini outside. So hopefully everything grows well and we have a nice summer, so I can also post some pictures of the vegetables!

Hi, this is me!

Ik teken nu al 3,5 jaar voor mijn blogje en ik denk dat het tijd wordt om even te laten zien wie ik ben, inplaats van een getekende versie. Ik ben altijd heel voorzichtig geweest met het plaatsen van foto's op social media, ook omdat ik vind dat het daar niet om gaat bij de dingen die ik doe. Toch merk ik dat mensen het prettig vinden om te weten wie er achter iets zit, dus bij deze! ;-)

I already draw 3,5 years for my blog and I think it is about time to show myself to you, instead of a drawing of me. I was always very carefully to put pictures of me on social media, also because I don't think that is the point of what I'm doing. But I noticed that people like to know who is behind something, so here we go!
