Before & After

Guido Schlabitz
Vor den Eisheiligen...
Before the spring freeze...
...nach den Eisheiligen.
...after the spring freeze.

Vor der Heckenschere… Before the shears…

… nach der Heckenschere! …after the shears!

(and the lawnmower)

Vor dem Frühlingsregen...
Before the spring rain...
...nach dem Frühlingsregen.
...after the spring rain.

The radishes (in the back) are growing like crazy of course. Cantaloupe and Honeydew melons are coming up in the middle. I extracted the Honeydew seeds highly scientifically from a commercial melon (We’ll see what comes of it in the end). In the foreground are two tomatoes graciously given to me by the Coens. I sowed French Marigolds around the whole bed to ward of some pests and, for the same reason, basil amongst the tomatoes, which also improve the flavour of tomatoes. I try to avoid chemicals where I can (to expensive for my tastes). The salad is also from the Coens and I’ll have to stick it in somewhere else. The bed is full.
