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!
