I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

@Steffi33 I really like your trellis. What diameter are the metal rods? I guess they are reinforcing steel, right?The reinforcing bars were 8 meters (26 feet) long and 8 mm (0.3 inches) in diameter. Two kiwi plants are supposed to climb up on them.B

@Steffi33 Do you pick the green tomatoes because they won’t ripen anyway, or is there another reason?We always preserve green tomatoes, but you have to like them. I find them tasty.Offtopic schrieb:

For 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of tomatoes, use 1 liter (34 fl oz) of salted water, vinegar, onion, and a piece of horseradish. Let it steep for about one month. I always keep them whole because when they cut them into quarters, I find they get too soft.
