\nWhen it gets really cold in the\nwinter, the gardeners can start thinking about the new year. Picking\nonions are ordered, seeds are spotted and the growing plans are\nprepared for the new year. At the end of February we start sowing\npeppers and celery, the very early crops, which will take quite some\ntime until they really see the field. First of all, everything is\ngrown loose in the greenhouse, where in April\/May, all the tables are\nalready filled with plants. Spinach and lettuces are harvested in the\nplastic tunnel in the spring. When everything is prepared, the\ntomatoes can come in around May, which will bring us joy with their\ngreat aroma from the middle of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nWhen the farmer works the land in\nMarch (unless the weather keeps him from doing so), \u2013 and after\ntractor work and bringing out menure \u2013 the beautiful dams are being\nbuilt on which we grow most of our vegetables. This has worked well\nfor us, even if you lose some space on the field through this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe first on the field are always\nthe carrots and onions; they are robust and even tolerate slight\nfrosts. When cabbage and salads follow, care is needed. If it gets\nreally cold again, you have to be ready protect the young plants\nproperly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From mid-May we can breathe again; the crucial period is over and even young, tenderly trimmed plants like the cucurbitaceae<\/g> and solanum<\/g> are allowed to be out. With our helpers, the first beds must be hacked, the direct sows are weeded out and soon isolated. The field slowly fills with people; for every worker<\/g> it\u2019s a refreshing change from the ornamental plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nFresh wind, a wonderful view of\nthe surrounding fields and warming sun; long conversations with hours\nof hacking, dusty skin and here and there something to snack on –\nthat\u2019s how it is to work on the field!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody is excited when we deliver the first herbs and lettuce to the kitchen and the farm shop \u2013 presenting the produce from one\u2019s own field makes every gardener proud. There\u2019s a lot to do during summertime. Hacking, hacking all over again is the recurring theme. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

again launches an attack on the rocket salad or the Chinese cabbage … <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\nAfter many generations of\nexperience, we know that certain plants like to be together. For\nexample, onions, carrots, leeks and celery grow together to help keep\nthe other plants growing and less vulnerable to pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe plant families must also be\nconsidered. After the cultivation of kohlrabis, there should be no\ncomposite in the next year. After cultivation of peppers, solanum\nwon’t grow in the same spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nFor the best possible protection\nand growth of the plants, we use biodynamic preparations which pass\nthrough the manure in the soil or are applied as spray preparations.\nWhen the cucumbers and zucchini have long been harvested during the\nsummer and autumn begins, we harvest cabbage, pumpkin, carrots,\nbeetroot and onions. They are stored at 2 \u00b0 C. Some are used\ndirectly in the kitchen and others are preserved in jars.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

when autumn begins, we harvest cabbage, pumpkin, carrots, beetroot and onions<\/em> \u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shortly before the first frost, the celery comes. Even though it can stand temperatures as low as -5 \u00b0 C ,<\/g> it is the right time. Only the frost-loving kale, brussel<\/g> sprouts, leeks and winter salads such as endives and sugar loaf, which can still be harvested in the snow, are left standing.
Otherwise, now comes the well-deserved break for the winter time. In the best case, clover, winter rye or vetch are sown, so that the earth doesn\u2019t remain unused and can store some nitrogen over the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
