the past year 2018, i applied some methods of perma-culture into horti-culture. i cultivated several plots and fields with a high variety of plants that need few taking-care-of, including many Quick Greens that can be harvested multiple times a year. in the city, i added Llama-manure to the otherwise poor soil. now it’s teeming with life. (picture of “vegan” Llamas at the bottom.)
from one plot, an occupied site near the university, i got Arugula/Ruccola, Basil, Pumpkin “Langer von Neapel”, tomatoes “Yellow Zebra”, “Ribisel” (red) and “Goldtropfen” (yellow), Jalapenho-chilis, potatoes “Rosa”, purple string beans (i harvested them 9x). in the box, next to the basil are “Mountain Leechee” Cornus Kousa (a dogwood variety). (2€-coin for size comparison)
without much effort, i brought in so much harvest, i had to start to sell some of it, just because i wasn’t able to give all of it away, for free!
(especially during tomato season graz is rather deserted, austrians seem to follow their habsburg instincts and flock at the croatian seaside.)
the pumpkin came from 1 tiny seed out of a supermarket bin (it was labelled “organic”, tho) and was appr 11kg. it’s from the moschata branch, so it’s rather sweet tasting, good for soup, stew, et al. i assume, it’s “Langer von Neapel”.
i divided the pumpkin among 5 WGs (co-housings) and still brought a chunk to a fairteiler-box.
here are the Llamas, that made it all happen:
