H wasn't in germany to live through the 2008 war of slugs vs. zucchini which ended in the famous "zuccini massaker after the big rain". My gardening efforts never recovered from that defeat. H however wanted to try, so with a lot of motivation and no experience she tries to make a vegetable garden again. Here I will document the heroic struggle of the Vegetable War of 2010!

25.03.2010 - Removing the weeds, making space and planting

Randomly bought on a whim were Peperoni and Negaro. I had four Zuccini-seeds left from the disastrous attempt of 2008 which I also tried to plant. Even though I was sure everything will be in vain and the slugs will eat everything in the end, I put in some effort myself.

19.04.2010 - Some seeds went up, other plants are faster

The vegetable seed made barely an appearance, yet those "trändende Herzen" (crying hearts) were already big and in full bloom. Only one month ago there was practically nothing. Of course the roots were strong and deep and just waiting for the first warmth. The Zucchini also made a first appearance. That little Zucchini probably will need some help removing the seed pods soon.
