After a long, chilly winter break, spring has finally arrived at our Feierabend Garden in Aspern, and we can now wake the soil from its winter slumber.
The first plants are emerging from hibernation
The first crops—such as radishes, a wide variety of Asian and leaf lettuces, and the first spring onions—have already been planted.
The start of the year is especially important for vegetable gardening, since this is when we can best prepare the soil for a productive season. The garden beds are freshly tilled and enriched with the necessary nutrients using organic fertilizer and compost made from our stale bread. This way, we can provide summer crops—such as tomatoes, zucchini, and others—with the nutrients they need for a healthy growing season. The crops are planted in our plastic tunnel as early as mid-April.
Outdoors, we will gradually plant the beds with spring crops such as fennel, kohlrabi, a wide variety of herbs, and, of course, a variety of lettuces.
Full of energy, we’re looking forward to a new and exciting season in the vegetable garden.
