"Why try to explain miracles to your kids when you can just have them plant a garden." - Robert Brault
These are wise words! And the miracle persists even when you're an adult.
Welcome to my green paradise!

The Glory Of Gardening
"Hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. Tu nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul." - Alfred Austin
I love putting my hands in the dirt. Is there any better balancing to digital media, information flood and time pressure?
These green houses have a different calculation of times. They are like islands.
Everything follows the cultivation rhythm.
As the name implies, the tomato "Moneymaker" is showing already the first fruits.

We'll have a lot of tomato salad this summer!
The very best fruit is the one that you eat directly from the plant.
However, it's going to be quite tough eating tomatoes from 550 different plants. Supposedly, there will come a point in time when I can't just see them anymore :-)
Right now I am impatiently waiting for the first ones to be fully ripened.

How Do We Avoid Unwanted Crossings?
It's one of the most popular questions amoung our clients.
First of all polluting insects like bees and bumblebees don't have any access to our green houses. Secondly, we assure having enough space between the plants. Last but not least,.... well that's my dad's company secret :-)
The current season of hot peppers is really looking good!
