Feel-good gardening

I go to the garden every day, sometimes even twice a day (if I'm able to wake up at 6AM), so I don't really see the progress and use my photos to compare the growth every week. Last week, I was gone for a few days, and I was surprised to see how everything grew in such a short time. We're going on vacation for 9 days soon and I'm sure I won't recognize the garden anymore. I have asked our friends to water it and take whatever vegetables will be there, so that they don't bolt or rot. Sharing is caring and they also have to make time to water our garden, so it's some sort of a thank you from our side. For now, I try to harvest as much as possible or as much as we can still eat before our time off.

I couldn't wait for our purple beans as I was so excited about the colour that was supposed to be a nice addition to our meals. Sadly, they lose their colour with high temperature, so I ended up with green beans instead. They are still delicious, but I was disappointed as I was expecting something special. Nevertheless, I will grow them next year too as I feel like slugs prefer the green and yellow ones. These seedlings were not so damaged which resulted in many more beans to harvest.

Do you remember when I told you that I was leaving some radishes to bolt to collect their seedpods? They are ready now! I like eating them just like this as they have the typical radish flavour without being too sharp. I love radishes, but usually can't eat them just like that because they are too sharp for me. This is a gamechanger!
