"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!

Happy Magic Monday to you luv! Awesome post, there really isn't anything like fruit and veggies grown by your own hand :)

You are absolutely right, @dreemit! Can you imagine picking one of these juicy and sweet tomatoes from the plant and eat it right away? Yummy!!!

I can imagine it, and I'm drooling!

I am also growing the same however my first season was not as I expected . the soil had to much clay so I am thinking of using to use pots next season

We grow everything in pots.

The garden is extraordinary @surfermarly! I'll reserve a spot near the hot pepper section, I love those things and they do look gorgeous :)

That spot is reserved for your, promised! :-)
I love spicy stuff, too. Well I have to, haha! Otherwise I would suffer a lot.

Cool, thanks for that @surfermarly :) Spicy food is a way of life for me. I eat Thai food all the time and it's always super spicy!!

Now i miss home. have fun harvesting!

I hope it's a positive feeling of nostalgia...:-)
Thank you @immarojas!

I am just wondering, since I love hot peppers.... Can I get them in Tenerife? Do you sell them to any supermarket or how do you brand them? I wanna look for them!
@Sufermarly peppers !!!!!! life is looking bright!!

Haha, we don't sell the pods, only the seeds :-)
www.semillas.de is our shop.

Only the seeds???? hummmm interesting business plan that is.... I guess its time to start a garden in the balcony then...

Hehe, I hope you have a large balcony though :-)

Es geht doch nix über frische Zutaten...Und vor allem Tomaten sind super lecker :)

Auf jeden Fall! Da bin ich total einverstanden :-) Ich freu mich schon riesig auf den ersten Tomate-Mozzarella-Basilikum-Teller mmmmmh!

Thank you very much, @daisyd! I am happy you liked it :-)

Me, too! :-)) Nature is awesome! We should celebrate it whenever we can.

Fantastic setup and very healthy looking plants.

Thank you very much, @sunscape! It's actually my daddy's work. I am just the Assistant :-)

You are so sweet! Thank you @sunscape. That comment truly made my day :-))

Awh I am so happy to have been a part of your day! :-)

Great post and your garden puts my lil' out back garden to shame but my son(5) and I love to grow all sorts of things in it. I love the idea of showing him just where his food comes from. Thanks so much!

Oh no you shouldn't feel ashamed at all. Our green houses deliver seeds for a professional business. That's a bit different than a normal garden at home and nothing to compare with 😉
You little one must be very happy then!
I'm glad you enjoyed my post in such way 🙂
