Summary of "Rundtur i køkkenhaven 17. Maj 2026 - Uge 20"
Garden tour highlights (Sun. May 17)
- Cold nights lately, but overall the garden “looks very good.”
- Big week for “changeover” work: reseeding/planting a lot of new crops as things warm up.
Planting & crop updates
Beans
- Reusing leftover/previous plants and sowing yellow bush beans and green bush beans.
- Plans to add pole beans next (after a bit of prep).
- Preparing bean areas wherever there’s room.
Cucumbers & squash
- Bought cool/cukes from a garden center because they’re “significantly nicer” than home-started ones.
- Not yet fully planted: cucumbers and squash/pumpkins.
- Squash seeds were sown; emergence not yet started.
Melons
- Sown: watermelons and hand melons (more watermelons mentioned).
Leafy greens & roots
- Multiple sowings of lettuce and beets (sweet and yellow beets).
- Radishes and sun-safe radishes also added.
- Carrots are coming up; spinach and kohlrabi mentioned as established/visible.
Tomatoes, peas, cabbages
- Tomatoes growing well and planted “all over.”
- Peas removed to prevent cross-pollination (especially as they’re about to bloom).
- Cabbage netting stays in place longer because disturbing seedlings is a constant job.
- Salad/cabbages note: cabbages are there, but the salad remains untouched by pests/people.
Garlic, onions, potatoes
- Garlic beds look nice; some garlic bulbs look even better later.
- Onion sets planted.
- Potatoes are sprouting (including purple/pink-looking ones).
- Concern: one section has scattered emergence after planting earlier.
Garden protection & pest/foraging issues
Netting/row cover strategy
- Netting stays up due to practicality (plants get raised and must be repositioned repeatedly).
Animals/foragers pulling or eating plants
- Multiple instances of plants being pulled up or smashed/picked (attributed to birds/people).
- Consideration of adding arches or building a small “cabbage house” using posts + netting to protect cabbages.
Water collection & DIY 3D-printed system
- Major DIY/nerdy project: 3D printing parts for a rainwater collection/filter setup.
- Key approach:
- Make a closed system where hoses connect and water runs to a collection bucket.
- Water routing design helps avoid backflow by printing/using a piece so water flows the right way.
- Uses water couplings for flexibility—parts can be disconnected/moved if needed.
- Mentioned benefit:
- Having extra water connections from deals makes it easier to expand the system.
Notable activities & work-life rhythm
- Spent ~one hour repotting asparagus leftovers to handle more pots/leftovers.
- “Tetris in real time” garden management:
- Adjusting plant spacing and placement as conditions change.
- Continual small decisions: whether to insert chili supports, where to move things, etc.
- Encouraging mindset:
- No strict plan this year; instead, watch what’s happening over the coming weeks and adapt.
Health/food/eating mention
- One specific meal note: asparagus was eaten after getting around to it (implied from earlier potting/repotting leftover stages).
- Otherwise, the subtitles are garden-focused rather than a dedicated nutrition/health routine.
