Major work in the #garden today. #Tomato #seedlings were late getting started, so they are just now getting into big pots. #Tropical plants like #dahlias, #mandevilla and #bouganvillea are finally in their #summer pots, mulched and fertilized. Our potted #JapaneseMaple arboretum is glowing. The Night-blooming Cereus, Princess of the Night #Cactus is out, too. Time to rest and enjoy the view.

Not even the seedling trays are safe. 🐌

I thought keeping the courgette (*Cucurbita pepo*) seedlings in pots would buy them some time before facing the garden's slug population — apparently not. This little snail found its way in anyway and made itself very comfortable on a freshly sprouted leaf. You have to admire the determination, if nothing else.

The eternal battle between gardener and gastropod continues. Round one to the snail.

🇧🇪🇳🇱
Zelfs de kweekpotjes zijn niet veilig. 🐌

Ik dacht dat de courgette (*Cucurbita pepo*) zaailingen in potten nog even gespaard zouden blijven van de slakkenpopulatie in de tuin — blijkbaar niet. Dit kleine slakje vond toch zijn weg naar binnen en maakte het zich bijzonder comfortabel op een pas ontkiemd blaadje. Je moet de vastberadenheid bewonderen, al bij al.

De eeuwige strijd tussen tuinier en gastropode gaat verder. Ronde één voor de slak.

The sunflowers are leaving the nest! 🌻

A first batch of sunflower seedlings (*Helianthus annuus*) has been hardened off and planted out into the open ground. The first two varieties to make it outside this year are 'Giant Double' and 'Moonwalker' — one a classic towering yellow giant, the other a more elegant pale yellow with a dark centre. More varieties are still waiting their turn!

The labels are in place, the soil is freshly turned, and now it's up to the sun to do its work. Excited to see how tall these will get this summer!

De zonnebloemen verlaten het nest! 🌻

Een eerste reeks zonnebloem zaailingen (*Helianthus annuus*) is afgehard en de volle grond ingegaan. De eerste twee variëteiten die dit jaar buiten mogen zijn 'Giant Double' en 'Moonwalker' — de ene een klassieke hoge gele reus, de andere een elegantere bleekgele met donker hart. Meer variëteiten wachten nog op hun beurt!

De labels staan erbij, de grond is fris omgespit, en nu is het aan de zon om haar werk te doen. Benieuwd hoe hoog ze deze zomer gaan geraken!

I finished my gardening tasks just before raindrops came. Got most of my thinning done. Got all the cucumbers & cantaloupe seedlings repotted. Transplanted more salad greens & peas.

Added my perlite/vermiculite mixture & mixed it deep into soil in pots before transplanting/repotting. I scattered some over my soil remediation areas too.

Time to rest a bit before dinner.

Countryside and Garden – the first day of May 9th, the weather cooperated!

Countryside and Garden. The time has come, May 9th, a holiday. The weather is fine. Yes, this time there were no frosts in May. And it was quite warm that day. I went for the first time this year. To start a new season. Countryside season 2026

Yesterday's hailstorm left its mark on my sunflower seedlings (Helianthus annuus). The young leaves were punctured straight through by the impact — a reminder of how vulnerable seedlings can be to sudden, severe weather. 🌱

Despite the damage, the plants themselves are still healthy and growing. At this stage, sunflowers are quite resilient: as long as the growing tip is intact, they bounce back quickly. Nature doesn't always play nice, but it does keep things interesting.

🇧🇪🇳🇱
De hagelbui van gisteren heeft duidelijk sporen nagelaten op mijn zonnebloem zaailingen (Helianthus annuus). De jonge blaadjes werden letterlijk doorboord door de hagelstenen — een herinnering aan hoe kwetsbaar zaailingen kunnen zijn bij plotse, hevige weersomstandigheden. 🌱

Gelukkig zijn de plantjes zelf nog gezond en groeien ze gewoon door. Zonnebloemen zijn in dit stadium behoorlijk veerkrachtig: zolang het groeipunt intact is, herstellen ze snel. De natuur speelt niet altijd mee, maar ze houdt het wel boeiend.

Some of my seedling babies! I'm a little worried about the low night time temps this week, but I think everyone will be okay. #gardening #seedlings #growyourown #cannabis #humboldtseedcompany #humboldtseeds #homegrow
