When standard plastic planters hit UV light, they photodegrade. They don’t disappear; they break into microscopic particles that wash into your food system. If you grow herbs or tomatoes in degrading pots, you’re eating the plastic. 🧪🥗

Your $20 plastic planter is failing you. It fades, warps, and sheds microplastics directly into your soil. 🚫🌱 Time to stop replacing and start "Heirloom Gardening." 👇
The cabbage seedlings I started inside in July and planted out a couple of weeks ago into grow bags in my sunny front yard are doing FABU. Fall cabbages in the front yard only for me from now on! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening
Es gibt noch so viel zu sehen im Beet (wenn man genau hinguckt). Und bisher kein erneuter Vandalismus! ❤️

This sunflower on our building's rooftop garden is easily 3m tall, if not more. It's huge! But also, pretty. #sunflower #UrbanGardening
It's tiny. And not the variety that's supposed to be! But I put it in the fridge yesterday and just ate it and it was delicious.

Harvest 2026 (continued)
Not super impressive - we already had a 4kg Muscat de Provence pumpkin a few years back - but considering that we grow everything I post here on a 25m² terrace right in the city center of #Stuttgart .... 😀
Sigh. So I didn't have a great year for anything if I'm honest, but my garden gave me enough for me, so I really can't complain, I just was hoping to be able to share. 😞 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
An die stadtgärtnernden Nachbarn aus Wandsbek: Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen. ✊️✊️✊️🔥🔥🔥

Eine Sorte Herbst-Anemone ist gut angewachsen (die andere Sorte schwächelt leider).
