februar na vrtu / our garden in February 2021

Pomladno cvetje na vrtu se šele prebuja, saj je bil februar razen zadnjega tedna precej hladen. Zacvetele so prve narcise.

February was quite cold, except the last week, so we are waiting the spring flowers to bloom. Some bulbs like this daffodil start to appear.

Naš stari leseni sod je poln zvončkov.

By the end of the month our old wooden barrel is covered with snowdrops.

Lani smo kupili majhen košček zemlje. Takrat je bil popolnoma prekrit z grmovjem in plevelom. Počasi ga urejamo. Februarja smo postavili dve veliki dvignjeni gredi. Seveda je na vrh potrebno dodati še zemljo. Ker je prostor zelo kamnit in skoraj ni rodovitne zemlje, so dvignjene grede skoraj edina možnost pridelave zelenjave. Ampak tudi rodovitne zemlje ni ravno enostavno najti.

Last year we bought a little piece of land in the vicinity. It was covered with bushes and weed. We are slowly rearranging the place. This month two big, raised beds were finished. Well, we still need to put some soil on the top. The place is very stony, so raised beds are practically the only option to grow vegetables and it’s not easy to find a suitable soil here.

Naša jasa je obdana z drevesi. Mali je že dolgo razmišljal o majhnem, skritem prostorčku na drevesu, o mali hišici na drevesu. Želja se je uresničila. S skupnimi močmi je nastal tale balkonček, mali je pri delu zelo užival. Tudi meni se zdi, da bo tam gor prav prijetno spiti kakšno kavico, prebrati revijo ali samo opazovati vrt spodaj.

The place is surrounded with trees. My little boy though of a little hiding place or a tree house. The wish came true. The little “tree balcony” is finished. He enjoyed building it. It would be nice to have a cup of coffee up there or maybe to read a magazine or just to observe the garden.

Začela sem sejeti semena, najprej papriko in paradžnik. Tako bodo ravno prav veliki za presajanje v začetku maja. Tudi drevesa smo obrezali in počistili vrt.

I start to seed tomato and paprika indoors, so they are at the correct stage of development to move outside in the beginning of May. I also pruned fruit trees and cleaned up our front garden.

bližnjem travniku lahko občudujemo pomladne žefrane. Čudoviti so!

We can admire spring crocus in the nearest meadow. They are amazing!
