#onions
time to move the Dutch Bucket unit out on the balcony.
2 tomatoes doing really good, 3 died, one replaced with TinyTim and the other one is still open.
The peppers seem to be doing pretty well but very different; one is long and growing well the other one is just bushy.
The spring onions I put there just or test have not grownemuch so I may replace them with different peppers.
Have a 40L storage ready for them and to place them out on the balcony where the cucumber plant is right now.
Have to plan well because it will be hard to replocate afterwards and must make sure they are protected from scorching sun of coming aummer.

A Breton onion seller.
Also known as 'Onion Johnnies', these men are Breton farmers who travel from door to door selling their distinctive pink onions. [+]
Planted the spring onions in between the strawberries as companion crops. They will help preventing bugs eating the strawberries.
I learned that from an old organic gardener who said he never needed pesticide after he planted #onions and #garlic in between his #strawberries.

Early breakfast with homebaked #bread.
Let the bread cool down over night and woke up early to catch a train. Used 2 pieces of the part with olives, herbs and fried onions to make a few swedish Smörgås with one topping (my first store bought tomatoes since May 2022).
The results are great, but needs improvements.
- Less #cheese, or higher flour/cheese ratio.
- A little more salt
- let the bread rise a bit more before putting it in the oven
- Try making it with whole wheat instead of the one with seeds in it
- No fried #Onions (doesn't add up to my smörgås taste that well
And to make sure I have good sandwich:
- Need more toppings for my smörgås
So, overall, it was a hoot try. Have bread for 11 more breakfast that I will freeze and take out when needed.
If you don't know where your onions came from, throw them away to prevent salmonella, CDC says
Well So Much For Onions and Scallions For Me For A Bit....

While the weather is awful in Germany and Belgium, here it feels like #summer with temperatures in the high twenties and #sunshine all day. The #allium #flowers have matured and are now attracting #pollinators. (I can't remember whether these are #onions or #SpringOninons.) Here's a close up of a #Bumblebee which was flower hopping. If you look under its right #wing, you can see another #insect riding on it. I don't know if it's a parasite or whether it just happened to be hitching a ride as I can't see it in other #photographs. My hunch is that it is a parasite.
