Garden Photos and Drawings From the Netherlands

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has sent in their photographs and stories. I hope by sharing other peoples pictures and stories here on One Hundred Dollars a Month we can all have a rock star garden this summer. Keep them coming!

Aafke from the Netherlands {who blogs at xlovettes.blogspot.com} sent in some lovely photos of her bunnies and gardens. I had no idea there were teenagers out there who love to garden this much! Pretty cool if you ask me.

Here is what Aafke had to say:

I love gardening and being in the nature. I have been gardening about 2/3 years now and have always helped my dad.

As you see I have two bunnies named: Muffin {orange} and Krummel {white with black}. Muffin an almost 2 years old female from a market and Krummel is a 10 months old neutered male from the shelter. I give them all their needs. Muffin lost a front leg last year. A polecat bit it off, but she can run as the best one!

And this is my little atelier. It is not finished yet but it’s going really fast. I made my atelier from an old pigeon loft. I pained it and bought some furniture in different thrift stores. I love putting things together and making one big sweetness of it. Next to my atelier is standing my kitchen garden.

Left are standing strawberries and right herbs. I just planted some seeds so I have to wait for them to come up. Thyme, lemon balm, mint, chives, parsley, arugula and maggie. And the radishes have yet to come up. The ground is compost and works really good! In our compost we put, leaves, bunny poop and things, left over food etc.

I just want to let you see out pear tree. It’s doing so great! I already can’t wait to eat the first pear from the tree this summer! Do you have pear trees? We also have apple, walnut and hazelnut.

Hope you like the pictures.

I just want to say that I think that you have a great blog with lots of inspiring things.

Green hand shake,
Aafke

P.S. I don’t have any chickens, we had 5 but they are all ate by a polecat. Our wish is to have a few quails.
