    I'm so glad I found you. Best find of 2020.

    Very nice start to your garden! I have clay soil as well here in Elk Grove, Ca. So we had to make raised beds and bring in good soil. I have started growing tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, as well as some herbs, cilantro and basil. I have 2 grapevines, apricot tree, orange and plum trees.....I have lots to keep me busy during these shelter in place times! Look forward in seeing how your garden progresses! Good luck!

    • @MiriamFollin
      @MiriamFollin  4 года назад

      I hope the compost will help a lot with our soil! And I'm planning to start a little worm farm, and add worm casting to the soil as well. Do you grow all of it outside, or do you have a green house or similar? Sounds like a dream garden. I would absolutely LOVE an orange tree, my favourite fruit. Don't think it would grow very well here though...

    • @michelleotani8901
      @michelleotani8901 4 года назад +1

      Miriam In China Elk Grove, California hasn’t had very cold winters lately...I don’t even think we had one night of freeze...right now it’s about 88 degrees during the day, so hot already! In the summer we can get as high as 108 degrees or more. But luckily, it’s just a few weeks, then it will average upper 90’s. So, I don’t use a green house, everything is grown outside. I planted carrots, radishes and cantaloupe from seed, and all the veggie transplants were bought from a nursery. Worms will definitely help! I was lucky and they just naturally came to my raised beds, I didn’t have to bring them in. With clay you have to ammend the soil so much! But your organic compost will do the trick. My garden is organic as well. I use natural methods for pest control, like peppermint and neem oil mixed with water and a little bit of soap and spray the leaves...this is the first year I planted my orange tree in the ground. It’s a dwarf naval orange that I kept in a 5 gallon pot, but it was getting too big so I had it planted in the ground. I hope to get lots of oranges in the future. They are one of my favorite fruits too! Love your channel, Miriam! I shared with my Auntie and she is going to share with her brother in law who lives in Sweden with his Swedish wife and family! Maybe they already know of you! 😃

    It’s very nice to see the start of your garden! And it’s also nice to know you’ll plant flowers, too. I was always surprised to see your home without a garden of flowers or plants. There is a lot of space outside the house , so I always wondered why it looks so empty of vegetation, so arid and neglected. Sorry for my comment , maybe it’s because I have a lot of space outside the house , too, and we have lots of trees and plants, some of them very very old, like two olive trees I have in the backyard , must be 90 years old or more, my husband is 89 and they were planted by his father.

    Lovely videos of ur family. I just started the early spring veg in my garden here in Norway just a few days ago too as it finally became warm enough. Carrots, beetroot, sweet peas, coriander and radishes. My soil is clay like too, but not as much as your's in China.

    • @MiriamFollin
      @MiriamFollin  4 года назад

      Hopefully ours will get a little less claylike this year! Interesting that many veggies are the same! They don't grow beet root here, but the other day I found my beetroot seeds and did make a little beetroot bed! Good lick with your veggies!

  • @stchan8569
    @stchan8569 4 года назад

    I think the red vegetable that you are planting is known as Red Amaranth, a kind of spinach. There different varieties, usually green in colour, the dwarf, the type eaten commonly here is the green leaves type and another type which are red colour in the middle of the leaves. I love the pickle stem lettuce in soya sauce, it goes very well with porridge. Nothing beats the freshness of the produce from your own garden.

  • @inesdelahoya2045
    @inesdelahoya2045 4 года назад +2

    Hi, Mariam. If my observation is correct, Scandinavia grows a lot of root vegetables, such as beet. Chinese do not seem to care about beet, although the few who love it eat it raw - never cooked. What do you think?

    • @MiriamFollin
      @MiriamFollin  4 года назад

      I think that it probably differs depending on where in China you are. Here there grow sugar beet, which is uncommon to grow for personal use in Sweden. They always cook it! They also grow carrots and lots of potatoes.
