I ordered some seed potatoes to grow this year.
They are kind of special, not the usual type of potatoes that we grow in our garden every year.
Pink Fir Apple – one of the oldest varieties, buttery waxy texture and nutty flavour
Lily Rose – red skinned, red-flesh
Purple Rain – purple flesh and purple skin
Mayan Twilight – red and white skin, deep yellow flesh
If you want to try them I have them from https://www.patchseedpotatoes.co.uk

My strawberries have been green all winter and now are starting to show up some new leaves, so it’s time for a little cleaning.
Cutting off all dead and dying leaves will help them promote even more new leaves.
They look better and healthier already 🙂
In autumn I forgot to pot up some runners and even those are showing new signs of life, so I’m thinking to pot them now, maybe is not too late.
Spring has already arrived in my balcony.

De o vreme incoace, as zice chiar cam de multisor, activitatea pe blogurile romanesti de gradinarit a scazut considerabil. Unii nu au mai scris deloc, altii s-au mutat pe retelele de socializare. Asa ca am hotarat ca de acum inainte sa scriu pe blog in engleza si adresa blogului va deveni http://www.greenzonelife.com.
L.E. Pentru cei care ma citesc si nu stiu engleza am pus un buton de traducere in partea dreapta sus.

Am ramas datoare cu un experiment: sa folosesc la indulcit aluat pudra de frunze de stevie (stevia rebaudiana).
Asa ca am facut un aluat in care am folosit doar pudra de frunze de stevie. O cana mare (300 ml) iaurt, 3 oua, o lingurita cu varf de pudra de stevie si o lingurita cu varf pudra de menta, faina cat cuprinde sa iasa un aluat molcut, usor lipicios si praf de copt.
Am framantat aluatul si l-am portionat (mi-au iesit 15 buc)
Le-am copt 20-25 minute si gata chiflele
Au crescut bine, sunt pufoase si dulci ca si cand as fi pus vreo 3 linguri de zahar si usor mentolate
Clar anul asta imi maresc productia de stevie 🙂
Experiment total reusit !

Dupa cum stiti am marit hranitoarea de la geam si am instalat hranitori in gradina mamei.
Asadar volumul de seminte necesare saptamanal a crescut considerabil. Daca anul trecut imi ajungeau 2 pungute de seminte (aprox 1 kg) pe saptamana, acum sar lejer de 4-5 kg.
Problema majora era ca in piata nu prea gaseam cat imi trebuia, babuta de la care cumparam aducea cate 2-3 pungute pe zi si mie imi trebuiau 10. Nici plimbatul zilnic la piata in drum spre casa de la job nu era o solutie. Asa ca m-am pus pe cautat producatori. Surpriza, pretul era de 4 ori mai mic decat plateam eu in piata.
O inteleg si pe babuta, ea are de platit tot felu de taxe ca vinde in piata, dar pe mine nu ma ajuta nici cantitatea oferita de ea si se pare ca nici pretul.
Asa ca in weekend, in drum spre bunici, am facut o mica escala in curtea unui producator si am luat doi saci de seminte sa-mi ajunga toata iarna.
Da stiu, am ceva pasarele la mansarda 😀 dar asta sunt.
