Garden friends telling me that there'll come the moment where I don't want to see another courgette for the rest of the year.

That moment has not arrived yet. 🌱

(grilled slices in herb marinade; panko-fried blossoms filled with ricotta)
thin slices of green courgette, grilled with thyme and rosemary and in an olive oil apple vinegar marinade, on a white plate. a smal white plate with two panko-fried zucchini blossoms, crunchy light brown, the shortened greens tems pointing to the upper right. (what you don't necessarily see: they're fileld with ricotta-lemon-zest parmesan, with some salt and pepper, and breaded with flour-beaten egg-panko. Fried in a small pan with a bit of olive oitl, 4-5 Minutes, giving careful turns to the blossoms)

It's not summer at #univienna #tfmvienna until the cleaning crew tackles the window fronts!
(be careful, guys, we want you back next year)
a tiled, glass-fronted-building; the cloudy sky above is reflected into the windows as in a mirror. Two glass tiles (we see: they are windows, at least some of them) are opened, with one closed in between. The openings look black in contrast, and in each, a man is standing in shorts and a white tee, equipeed with window-cleaning tools. The scene looks both confident and precarious. (There are no helmets or harnesses to be seen)

...and this also happened yesterday at #tfmvienna #univie (after a very, very overtime-heavy year)
Habil ✅

The courgette experiment is making a strong argument for a restaging next year: first time ever eating filled, baked blossoms - and from my own terrace garden, too. Yum. 🌱
a hand holding a large male courgette blossom, freshly plucked, stamp already removed, one leaf a little battered. Behind, the towering green of the courgette plant. Dinner ahead! two courgette blossoms, filled and closed, resting on a bamboo cutting boards, ready to go into the pan. Light green, yellow-white and yolk-like orange against the light wood. Very appetizing. Two filled and closed courgette blossoms, dusted with flower, in a small, black pan, sizzling in olive oil (just a thin layer) dinner is served! two freshy baked courgette blossoms with ricotta-lemon-parmiggiano filling, on a white breakfast plate, waiting to be eaten. (Reader, they were delicious)

First blossom on the chilis!
(they had a rough, windy start this year once they moved outside, but have recovered nicely. Only three small plants this year - grown from organic seeds from a friend's mom, friend, billed simply as "chili pepper - spice only." I'm curious to see what variety they are)
Close up of a stretc of chili stem, tied to a wooden stick. Next to dark green leaves, one open flower with its five-pointed, white bell hat is blooming. There may be chilis later this summer!

The zucchini plants are thriving! 🌱
(the ants and I still have a quarrel over ownership of the blossoms)
A zucchini plant, growing, the perspective is looking into the stems and leaves from above. One mini zucchino has its blossom alread closed, two male blossoms are open in a bright, buttery orange. More buds are visible, and several new, light green leaves are unfurling.

The facility cleaning crew showed up on Thursday.
All my mallows-of-the-cracks are gone. Every blade of green outside of a flowerpot is gone.
Sigh. 🌱
Tuesday morning, a small mallow plant with 5 bringt and plane pink blossoms, one only just opening. the plant grows in between concrete tiles, next to thick grass blades and other weeds. Left and right are outlines of orange flowerboxes The same concrete tiles on Thursday, with the crack space in between barren. The mallows are gone, no glassblade is in sight, everything has been kärchered (it's a sad, sad photo, taken from above)

framed by a bushy maple tree roof, a close-up of a Timber lattice building (housing Café Cup, Detmold) with golden a 17th ctry, Hebrew inscription of wishing Shalit. A small monument plaque is visible (Detmold has many of these timber lattice houses with gold inscriptions, though most of them Latin or German, and Christian) a flowerbox with stroksbill to the lower right, as we look out onto the quiet castle pond of Detmold, framed by very green trees (there has been copious rain). to the right, a small strip out outdoor terrace with a bansiter, looking out onto the pond. It is cloudy, the atmosphere is calm. a tentatively cloud-dotted sky is mirrored in the water.

Just saved this this little bumble buddy from batting his head against the hallway windows and let him out onto my lavender. The first half hour, he just clung to it in exhaustion, but now he's crawling around and enjoying a leisurely breakfast. 🐝 🌱
a large bee (on of the plushy-looking ones, with a yellow line across the forehead) sitting on a alrge bush of blossoming lavender in cloudy daylight. Behind, a line of growing tomato plants and a few terrace tiles are visible.

Gardening Pride! 🌱
a rainblow arrangement of single images, centering the colors of the rainbow flag: a close up of strawberies on their stems, two berries already bright red, a bunde of orange bast, garden glove seems and water nozzle, and a leaf of chard, with a rich yellow stem meanding up into a green, curly leaf. Then an upright standing, green arugula leaf, a royal blue cornflower blossom against a conrete tile background, and finally a close up of blossoming violet lavender.

My Mallow of the Tile Cracks is tireless. 🌱
A mallow (with 5 different stems spreading out) in full bloom, photo taken from above on a cloudy day. The blossoms are pink with violet centers and violet lines running up each petal. The plant grows in the cross spot of four ugly concrete tiles, among grass blades. At the top of the image, the faded orange wall of a flowerbox comes into view.

Dinner Haul! 🌱
(There were some strawberries, too, but they already, uhm, disappeared.)
8 radishes, with some green still attached, in different sizes, on a dark fake-marble countertop. They are different colors: dark violet and beige, blended red-white, and simple white or red. fanning out, a bunch of Swiss chard leaves with stems in pale red, bright pink, gree and even one yellow, cut off, waiting on paper towels on a countertop to be turned into a pasta sauce.

The chilis have moved outdoors! 🌱
(it is strange to have an empty windowsill again, with no seedlings to keep me company in the office)
close-up of a potted plant on a window sill. Tied to a wooden stick is a chili plant with bright green leaves - not big yet, by any measure, and definitely slighter (it's a homegrown seedling) than anything from the gardneing store, but it's big enough to move out onto the terrace.

How it started // How it's going
#UrbanGardening 🌱
A wild mallow blossom on a battered plant growing between the cracks of concrete tiles. In the background, a flower box with wild mallow sprouts. the same battered mallow plant growing between the tile cracks, in mid-morning sun drawing up, but now instead of one flower, there's more than two dozen. In the flowerbox to the side, there's still green quiet among the small mallows growing there.

...hillside view. 🌱 💕
flower boxes on that ugla stretch of terrace, but now we see the panorama behind: the Wienerwald hillside underneath a blue sky dotted with clouds. Tiny space of happy green! (I just hope facility management will never find out what I am doing out there)

At the moment, my #UrbanGardening project 🌱 looks like this - I am thinking about extending to courgettes this summer (I inherited a raised flower bed last winter that should be big enough?) and... somehow I have turned into someone who gardens?
a stretch of that same drab terrace, with half sun from above, from the first post. but there's pots and flower boxes piled to the left now, still empty. A watering pot and even a gardenhose (I upgraded!) - and to teh right, growing flower boxes and pots with freshly growing radishes, with lavender and strawberries. It's not a garden, but it's at least partially GREEN now!

Fast forward a few years, and I am now growing my own chili seedlings (inside the office) and then plant them outside. There's tomatoes, and arugula, and Swiss Chard; sunflowers and lavender for the bees, and ipomoea to keep me company (last year, up until November!) and mallows.
🌱
out on my ugly stretch of terrace (a non-descript office building in the background, not very pretty, either): a gardening scene from early May. There's flower puts, some with tuny seedlings, some with lots of strawberrygreens. a bit of wire netting to support tendril plants. A work bench, a sack of planting earth, a small hoe, a watering pot. planting scene: on the ugly tiles, a small seedling set with chili and tomato plants in front of their new flower box home; two tomato plants already set into the earth. the scene is frames by strawberries plants to the left and an idea of lavender to the right, a pair of scissors still on the ground. From above, the sun is shining.

One day, I climbed out of my office window.
The first year, I put up two small pots of strawberries. They liked the sun and didn't mind the wind (I shared the harvest with a cheeky blackbird).
The second year, I added a few pots of lavender.
(that lavender behind the strawberries? A wild bush!)
🌱
a close up of flower pots in the sun on a drab terrace - a box of ipomoea seedlings, one of upshooting Swiss chard. Behind, pots with strawberries - some still green, some already red. Behind that, a large bush of lavender on the verge of blooming. a small glimpse of blue sky above. a close-up of l flowerpots with young lavender plants, the first blossom stems shooting up towards a drab banister and a cloud-dotted bit of blue sky.
