Hi
The taste of the yellow Zapotec is not to die for, I prefer swetier taste of the pink ones but it is really beautiful. Today I wisited our country place and this little felow was waiting me It is our biggest snake (nonvenomous)It grows over 2 meters long and it is rarelly seen this small. Here are a few pics from tomatoes. I photoed in a hurry because I`m heading to Dalmatia on deserved holliday. I guess when I`ll be back they will be gloving red. |

That snake is a good garden helper, eating bugs.

Yes they are thats why I leave them alone. It was basking on the rocks waiting for the sun to get warm. It is juvenile but it can live for 25 years and get really big.
Here is a picture of a prime adult. |

Hi
A few new pictures, the season is slowly coming to an end... But tomatoes coped well with high temperatures with little or no watering for weeks. The thin green line was no match for the heavy tomatoes so they colapsed to the middle of the wooden cage, next year I`ll use stronger one. Last edited by platar; August 28, 2018 at 01:43 PM. |

Now it is cooking time. I prefer varieties with a lot of flesh and little seeds and water.
This was one of the last biggest picks for this year there will be more but in smaller quantities Last edited by platar; August 28, 2018 at 02:07 PM. |

Such a beautiful bountiful garden. I'm glad they did so well without much care. How cool to have snakes to mind the garden pests for you.

Hi there
Finaly I got time to post again, been busy for last 2 weeks, tomatoes are still doing remarkably well on their own. I visit them once a week to pick the ripe ones, we had some rain in the meantime so they begin to crack a little.I`ll post some last pictures of them next week. Bellow is a reason why I got no or very little time for them: Autumn forrest fruits Group picture. as far as I know they are all eatable but I never tried the reddish ones (Boletus erythropus) This species is my favourite but quite rare around here (Bolétus pinóphilus) As I was wandering through the forrest the ovner`s dog came by to see what is happenning, I tried to persuade him to find me some more but I`m not shure if we understood each other Here are some Leccinum scabrum: |

Wow that is a beautiful patch of boletes! Around here you can walk for many miles and only come home with a handful.
We do avoid the ones with red colors, as many of those are said to be poisonous. |

Hi
thank you all for visiting. I would like to send in seeds of local varieties but unfortunately I didnt collect many of them. Just from a few sorts which I run out. I saved only one yellow Zapotec, Budenovka and local beefsteak variety. If someone is interested I guess I can send a few of each, but be avare I didnt isolate the blossoms so there might be some crosses in them. |
