We are two Aquarius living in the Alps.
It’s the beginning of September, and a lot of things have happened in our garden. It’s our second year growing vegetables on our land, and every month we learn something new. We still try to figure out what’s best to grow here - what thrives and what dies—because not everything you sow or plant will reward your work.
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. :)
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.
In autumn we planted some hardy vegetables and left them covered, hoping this will protect them during the cold days. Then we left the house and came back in January for some house reconstruction work.
In 2022 we bought an old house that needs renovation. The house is located in a small beautiful village in the Slovenian Alps.
