It all comes here into the mail office. Need to walk three kilometers to the mail office to pick up boxes. Better than having them lost. I ordered something from England, and the guy Emailed me about Royal Mail not shipping to me location, which is bullshit, royal mail website says it does… and...
It was a socialist democracy, and I think they changed it in the 70’s to a “Jewish democracy” whatever that means, but they still have these laws. They also still have laws from when the British were in charge, such as “no bears allowed to the beach” and “no eating sunflower seeds”. (It’s a 15...
It’s like that since my country used to be socialist (quite literally a communist state) and it was not allowed, because there were people whose jobs was to make honey, and if citizens were growing their won bees, they wouldn’t need honey and the markte price of honey would drop. And it must...
I would love to have honey bees, but for whatever reason, it’s illegal, I have a bombos hive in the greenhouse, on the fields a few kilometers from home. Where the family farm is. They’re nice, hard workers, but they make no honey…

My younger brother said he removed all the suckers… didn’t look like it, there were SO many and they were so big, and my dog just loves sitting in them. I will have to take him with me next time and show him how to do it, if he’s going to claim to do it.

Rijla, it grown wherever there’s water, and it can be used in salads and in stir fry dishes. It’s a bit sour when cooked, so no need for lemon.
Checked and in English it is called Portulaca Oleracea, I guess it’s the scientific name.
Edit: apparently it’s also called little hogweed
My tomatoes are getting bigger, such fun.
One of my hens decided to be broody, I don’t know if I should let her, my rooster is a four months old cockerel…
That’s the oil, I also get that. If you fry it, it gonna be even more painful. The aubergine together with the oil create an ouch.
Mayonnaise is scary.
What you can do is replace the aubergine with bottle gourd, tastes amazing.
Melon cucumber is Faqous, it’s a melon that you eat young like a cucumber. And yes, we have fig wasps. I’m growing a green variety of figs, but my tree is like 4 months old, so not this year, I won’t have a nice harvest. Hahaha
Thank you, hopefully there will be peace, right now it’s just a...
