Tales from two newbie gardeners and their four-legged friend.
We're Maevis, Old Garfield and Baba Bork — two millennials and one very sassy dog who are dipping their toes (and paws) in the world of gardening.
In the summer of 2021, with a boatload of optimism and absolutely zero gardening experience, we joined an allotment association, or Kleingarten Kolonie as they're known here in Germany.
The allotment plot we took over wasn't left in the best state, but we're doing our best to renovate it, get to grips with how exactly plants work, and transform this once neglected plot into a thriving green space for local wildlife and own-grown fruits and veggies.
Join us for tales of seedlings gone wild, weird and wonderful items we'll undoubtedly uncover, how not to use building foam, and much much more!
