Groene vingers kweken

Tuincentrum Joseph Hollmanstraat.

De uitdrukking ik heb geen groene vingers kan bestaan maar er niks aan kunnen doen is absolute onzin. De natuur laat zich lezen, al doende leert men. Begin klein, op de vensterbank indien nodig, en beleef het plezier van het groeien van je eigen planten.

 

 

 

Mijn eigen zadenbank

Since a few years I’m collecting my own tomatoes and pepper seeds. In different variations of course, peppers come in a dutch pepper version, red peppers, also chili peppers called (if I’m wright). Madame Jeanettes’ and Jalapeños. If you want to see an interesting list of nearly 150 different peppers, visit the site of Cayenne Diane and you’ll be surprised. From the nightshade family I collected, campari-, plum- and cherry tomatoes. Tomaccio’s as presented on this wikipedia page are also amongst my harvest. I’m planning to sell these seeds in a shop on this site. In the meantime send me an email if you’re interested.

Katten in de tuin! Een beetje zout op mijn tomaten vind ik niet erg maar dit ging iets verder.

I had a little problem in my garden from the moment I moved in here last may(2017). So now and then I found some disturbance in my soil or some pots had fallen down or on top of my other plants. Turns out we have some neighboring cats that love to disturb gardens and leave there feces all over the place, so I was told by an older lady a few houses down the street. I had no clue she was helping my fertilize my soil but I’d rather have my tomatoes feces-free. I tried several things to keep the cat from digging in my garden up until the point I had half a bucket full of cat feces. I was close to bring it back to its owner. (I’m talking about the bucket.) As I couldn’t blame the cat for being a cat and have some fun at night. But something had to be done. Turns out putting chickenwire or an other type of wire fencing in your garden, prevent cats from digging in the first place. Cut the wires open if you want to plant your beloved ones at the start of the season. I also made a biological cat-repellent spray from vinegar and lemon juice. Mix it yourself, pour it into a sprayer and spray it on places you don’t want the cat to come.

You can also ad some rosemary herb, which is also a fragrance cats don’t appreciate.

Good hunting!

Het begin

This is the post excerpt.

De lancering van mijn eigen website!

In eerste instantie nog in het engels en een alles-in-1 show. In 2020 het discourant (muziek) gedeelte verwijderd en alles in het Nederlands omgezet.

De mixes van Stan Swift zijn wel nog hier en onderaan de HOME page te vinden. 

Here we go, a new website and the first post. This website will be my personal marketplace. My name is Stefan Bertholet, born in the most southern province of the   Netherlands, Limburg and currently living in Maastricht. There will be various services promoted and available at this website. Come back to see how this site evolves.
