our garden in October 2023

This November was unusually warm and rainy. A few days ago, dahlias and roses were still blooming in the garden.

Letošnji November je nenavadno topel in deževen. Pred nekaj dnevi so na vrtu še cvetele dalije in vrtnice.

Although, it is November, strawberries are blooming, I also noticed small flowers on the apple tree.
Čeprav je november, cvetijo jagode, opazila sem tudi majhne cvet na jablani.

We picked the last peppers, harvested the pumpkins, and planted onions and winter lettuces.

Pobrali smo zadnje paprike in pospravili buče, ter posadili čebulo in zimske solate.

Due to some urgent work in the greenhouse, no vegetables will be planted there this year. Since our fig tree was overgrown and was home to a lot of wasps and other insects, we removed it. Now I am thinking about what to plant in its place. Something is missing there, isn’t it?
V rastlinjaku moramo opraviti nekaj nujnih del, zato letos v njem ne bo zelenjave. Ker je bila naša figa preveč velika in je v njej domovalo ogromno os in drugih žuželk, smo jo odstranili. Trenutno razmišljam, kaj bi posadili na njeno mesto. Zdi se mi, da tam nekaj manjka.

Kiwis will be harvested soon.
Kmalu bo potrebno pospraviti tudi kivi.

The garden is completely soggy, and the soil barely absorbs water. These are pictures from a few days ago, when the Soča river briefly crossed its banks. We hope the rains will end soon.
Vrt je čisto razmočen in zemlja komaj vpija vodo. Tole pa so slike izpred nekaj dni, ko je Soča za kratek čas prestopila bregove. Upamo, da se bo deževje kmalu umirilo.
