Balcony Crop 2011

Winter is coming and I almost forgot...
This year crops were not better than last year, and considerably less than the first year, the ground in the vases is getting "worn out" and too compact so vegetables that grow in the ground (carrots and turnips) don't grow that much.


Still we managed one (yes, only one) bowl of steamed vegetables (150g). This year Luísa helped picking up the carrots.
The "top of the crop" goes to the turnip followed by the micro-carrot.


Unfortunately, the beetroot did not survive the very dry and hot spring followed by a damp and lousy summer...
I'm now awaiting for everything in the vases to dye out and then I reinforce the soil or change it all together...
