let's see your veggie garden {pics} 2021-25

There were 346 onions this year.
I probably won't have time to eat them all before they spoil, but I can give some as Christmas presents to my children and grandchildren

Wow those are beautiful. Do you grow long-day or short day onions? Or do you even have that difference over there?

Hmm, no names I know of, so we probably don't have them here in Sweden.
But I googled now, and short day onions probably don't work here

Top picture is some frames of honey I pulled about 2 weeks ago. The frames are tall and narrow. Outer dimensions roughly 15.5"h x 13"w. These are frames for Layens style hives. I prefer Layens over Langstroth because they are so much easier to deal with. For more info see horizontalhive.com. Each frame can hold a half gallon or more of honey. You are looking at 1.5gallon there easily. The other two pictures are of a lion's mane mushroom that just pushed out. Its about 4inches across. This one is a small one. Last year's was about the size of a football. There's this dead oak tree next to my house that has been pushing them out each year for a while now. A couple years ago the tree fell over, smashed my garden and all the peas that were growing. I cut most of the top part of the tree down to the part where the lion's manes have been coming out. Then jacked it up and put it on concrete blocks. I'm frying that mushroom up for dinner tonight. I also have about 4 logs that I knocked up with shiitake plug spawn. I also got three shiitakes from the logs today. Those are boiling in a pot with some potatoes, also from my garden, and Chinese sausage, not from my garden.

I got some 20" planters that just fit in a 1020 tray for bottom watering and do some succession planting on the porch. The plants in the raised bed are coming along nicely. They were a little pale so I dosed them up with some 10-10-10. I kept failing to get some Black Kow compost but I think I can work that around the plants when I get around to it.

I appreciate it. Wife wanted a simple garden but I think I over delivered

Overkill is highly under-rated. Go big.

Gardening season is over for northern Germany.
All the green is a mix of cover crops.

We've got a bit of lettuce growing now and some snow peas also.
