I harvested my first homegrown zucchini today!
A piece of it is in this bento, stuffed with risotto. Then there’s triangles of rosemary polenta, ratatouille, some salad leaves and grapes for dessert.
The BF has the same, with polenta cut into hearts (I’m soppy…):
The cutouts are hidden underneath the ratatouille.
The ratatouille and polenta are leftovers from yesterday; [...]

So far, only one zucchini actually is growing. I must have failed with the dusting on the others.
Still, a success! It should be ready to eat in a few days. Yay!
And - oh dear, the purple-rimmed bell pepper flowers…
…seem to make purple-black peppers! I didn’t expect that! I certainly didn’t buy black pepper seeds…
They’re pretty, [...]

Base, we have tomato blossoms, I repeat, we have tomato blossoms!
Now how to support them?

This has been a productive month for my plants! Spring has finally come to Sweden and the biomass seems to be doubling by the week.
I’ve finally gotten around to replanting the tomatoes. It was high time, too. I felt sorry for them in their tiny pots of ground, but just didn’t have the time…
*mumbles at [...]

Some photos from my gardening diary in the last few weeks…
I found my first female flower, complete with a tiiiny little round zucchini on the bottom, this week. Today it opened (and got some pollen carried to it by me… I’m such a pervert).
There are two more lined up what I can see on that [...]

I have a big post lined up, but had no time at all to write it up recently.
For now, enjoy this photo of my first zucchini blossom!
I think it’s a female but I don’t see any males lined up, help?

The plants made if home safe and sound! And look how much they liked the change of air! This little fellow is stretching out his shiny new leaf for the world to see!
The picture was taken already during the easter weekend; by now the leaf is bigger than the seed leaves were! (And I actually [...]

They still grow so fast you can almost watch them.
All the zucchini are in their own pots now, even the last runty one. The beef tomatoes that I already replanted are doing ok, though the ones still in the greenhouse seem to do even better - they all get their third and fourth leaves already! [...]

The zucchini monsters were outgrowing the starter greenhouse quickly!
The beef and cherry tomatoes are also coming along nicely. By Sunday the Zucchini were scraping along the roof of the greenhouse though, so I knew I needed to replant them.
Now, I’m not a morning person. I can’t brain before three cups of tea or other caffeinated [...]
