Two Aquarius in the Alps

Since we started gardening two years ago, our garden has been frequently visited by wild animals - roe deer, rabbits, and squirrels. All of them steal or eat what they find, but the worst thing is that sometimes they are just curious and destroy the plants and trees without even eating what they have crushed.

Nothing tastes better than homegrown veggies. July is the month when our garden is thriving. Most of the plants that we started from seeds grew enough, and we can harvest the fruits of our work.

A special delivery day! Miki is expecting a parcel :) - a box full of delicious treats. He always gets excited about boxes, but when the box is full of things that he loves to eat, that's another thing.

We love flowers and always get excited about planting more in our garden. While annual plants require more work, since you plant them every year and they die at the end of the season, perennials are a great addition to each garden - you plant them once and enjoy their beauty for years.

Foraging is an amazing experience - you go for a walk in the forest, and if you are lucky, you find something delicious that you can bring home. Nature is that incredible, we just have to return to our roots and try to be more self-sufficient instead of running to the shop for everything.

Following our dream to become self-sufficient, we are developing our garden project, planting many different vegetables, just to see what we can grow on our land. After so many years living in a flat, having a place where we can grow our food is a huge change and also a huge challenge to get used to all that hard physical work. :)

Our first winter in the house. It started snowing and our garden is covered with snow.

We planted some autumn vegetables and left them covered with winter protection.

In this video we will check what happened to them and if they survived the cold temperatures.

Growing vegetables is something new for us on our way to becoming self-sufficient so if you are curious about how we progress, please subscribe and follow us for more news from our garden.

After installing the new windows last year, our old house renovation continues. Will the house collapse? We have to knock down a wall on the first floor, but it's a 40-year-old house, and we are not sure if the house construction is stable enough.

After a very snowy day we had almost half a meter of snow, but the next day, the sun showed up and the landscape changed completely, so we decided to jump in the car and show you the beauty of Slovenia in winter. Join us on this beautiful ride. 🙂

In 2022, we bought an abandoned house in the Alps that needs complete renovation. Our house renovation project started with the new windows, and we made our first mistake.
