Vuosi 2022 alkaa blogissa omavaraisuus-asioissa. Tsajut-blogin<\/a> Sari ja Korkealan<\/a> Heikki vet\u00e4jin\u00e4, omavaraisuudesta bloggaavat tekev\u00e4t taas yhteispostauksen. Aiheena t\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa suunnitelmat tulevalle vuodelle, varhaiset puutarhan esikasvatettavat kasvit, heikkoudet omassa omavaraisuudessa sek\u00e4 niin halutessaan esittely. Esittelin itseni muutama kuukausi sitten liittyess\u00e4ni mukaan omavaraistelijoihin, voit lukaista esittelyni t\u00e4\u00e4lt\u00e4<\/a>. Muiden postaukset l\u00f6ytyv\u00e4t tuttuun tapaan lopusta. EDIT: TOIMIMATTOMAT LINKIT MUIDEN POSTAUKSIIN KORJATTU!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minulla on v\u00e4h\u00e4n huono tapa olla aina my\u00f6h\u00e4ss\u00e4 asioissa. Olen usein my\u00f6s taimikasvatuksen suhteen aina my\u00f6h\u00e4ss\u00e4. T\u00e4ll\u00e4 hetkell\u00e4 meill\u00e4 ei ole edes mit\u00e4\u00e4n sopivaa paikkaa, jonne saisin taimet turvallisesti kasvamaan (liian v\u00e4h\u00e4n ikkunoita ja nelj\u00e4 kissaa). Niinp\u00e4 en ole viel\u00e4 ehtinyt suunnittelemaan mit\u00e4 haluan hy\u00f6tytarhaan kylv\u00e4\u00e4, saatika hankkia siemeni\u00e4, kylv\u00e4misest\u00e4 nyt puhumattakaan. Voi olla ett\u00e4 tulevakin kes\u00e4 t\u00e4ytyy menn\u00e4 sellaisilla kasveilla jotka eiv\u00e4t juurikaan vaadi esikasvatusta tai ostaa kalliimpia valmiita taimia. T\u00e4st\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4nkin juuri omavaraisuuteni suurimpiin heikkouksiin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suurimmat heikkoudet ja haasteet omavaraistelussani ovat nimenomaan juuri ennakointiin ja aikatauluttamiseen liittyvi\u00e4. Olen huono aloittamaan ajoissa ja j\u00e4t\u00e4n monet asiat viimetippaan. T\u00e4st\u00e4 syyst\u00e4 en ole juuri koskaan saanut taimikasvatusta k\u00e4yntiin ennenkuin vasta sitten kun siemenet on voinut kylv\u00e4\u00e4 suoraan kasvimaalle. Olen my\u00f6s luonteeltani laiska ja pakolliset kotihommat tahtovat j\u00e4\u00e4d\u00e4 hauskempien juttujen jalkoihin. T\u00e4h\u00e4n kun viel\u00e4 yhdistet\u00e4\u00e4n aaltoliikett\u00e4 tekev\u00e4 jaksaminen ja puuskittainen tarmokkuus on soppa valmis. Kasvimaallani menestyv\u00e4tkin parhaiten kasvit jotka suurimmaksi osaksi p\u00e4rj\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4t omillaan, ilman hirve\u00e4n suurta hoitopanosta. Kastella sent\u00e4\u00e4n olen jaksanut v\u00e4h\u00e4isi\u00e4 vihanneksiani, jopa enemm\u00e4n kuin sis\u00e4tilojen viherkasvejani jotka eiv\u00e4t voi n\u00e4in talvisin kovin hyvin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vastaavasti samat heikkoudet n\u00e4kyv\u00e4t satokauden loppup\u00e4\u00e4ss\u00e4 sadon korjaamisessa. Se on helpompaa vihannesten ja kypsyvien marjojen ja muiden kanssa jotka ovat selke\u00e4sti “valmiit” korjattaviksi. Sen sijaan yritit, ja muut joita voi korjata pitkin satokautta tahtovat j\u00e4\u00e4d\u00e4 viimetippaan kun sato ei ole en\u00e4\u00e4 parhaimmillaan. N\u00e4iss\u00e4 asioissa yrit\u00e4n petrata joka vuosi, mutta aina se ei onnistu. Yrit\u00e4n my\u00f6s oppia ett\u00e4 itselleni on paljon kivempi s\u00e4il\u00f6\u00e4 satoa pieniss\u00e4 eriss\u00e4 kuin pit\u00e4\u00e4 valtaisia hikisi\u00e4 s\u00e4il\u00f6nt\u00e4viikonloppuja jolloin aika ja lasipurkit loppuvat aina kesken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saamattomuuden ja laiskuuden lis\u00e4ksi yksi suuri heikkous on varastotilojen v\u00e4hyys. T\u00e4h\u00e4n tulee aikanaan toki muutos, mutta se vie aikaa. T\u00e4ll\u00e4 hetkell\u00e4 meill\u00e4 on eritt\u00e4in pienet tilat ruokavarastoille (yksi pieni yl\u00e4kaappi kuivatavaralle, kaksi rottinkikoria s\u00e4ilykkeille ja yksi vetolaatikko mausteille). Toiveena on saada kunnollinen ruokakomero, jonne mahtuisivat kaikki kuivatavarat ja huoneenl\u00e4mm\u00f6ss\u00e4 s\u00e4il\u00f6tt\u00e4v\u00e4t s\u00e4ilykkeet, einekset ja puolivalmisteet. My\u00f6sk\u00e4\u00e4n kellaria meill\u00e4 ei t\u00e4ll\u00e4 hetkell\u00e4 ole. Sen remontointi k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6n toisi meille paljon lis\u00e4tilaa s\u00e4il\u00f6\u00e4 vihanneksia, hedelmi\u00e4, hilloja, mehuja jne. Nyt tilaa on vain sille mit\u00e4 mahtuu kerralla j\u00e4\u00e4kaappiin. Kellarin remonttiasioista kerroin enemm\u00e4n Rakennushaaveet-postauksessa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mutta palataan viel\u00e4 hetkiseksi siihen mit\u00e4 haluan puutarhassani kasvattaa, sill\u00e4 olenhan toki yleisemmin sit\u00e4 ehtinyt miettim\u00e4\u00e4n vaikka tulevan kes\u00e4n suunnitelmat ovat viel\u00e4 vaiheessa. Tontilta uupuu hedelm\u00e4puita ja haaveissa olisi ainakin kirsikka ja p\u00e4\u00e4ryn\u00e4. Pihlaja-angervon valloittamat vadelmapensaat pit\u00e4isi siisti\u00e4 ja heinikkoon hukkuneet herukkapensaat elvytt\u00e4\u00e4. Lavakasvimaalle pit\u00e4isi saada muutamia lavoja lis\u00e4\u00e4. Syksyll\u00e4 kasasin ja alkuvalmistelin kev\u00e4tt\u00e4 varten nelj\u00e4nnen lavan. Siihen laitan luultavimmin kes\u00e4kurpitsaa. Kolmeen viimekes\u00e4iseen lavaan tulee ainakin valkosipulia, ilmasipulia, laventelia ja ruohosipulia. Lis\u00e4ksi haluaisin Hundreds-and-thousands-kirsikkatomaattia sill\u00e4 se vaikuttaisi olevan eritt\u00e4in satoisa. Viime kes\u00e4n\u00e4 erehdyin laittamaan pensastomaatin ja herneet samaan lavaan. Sato ei ollut kummassakaan kehuttava, tosin kes\u00e4 oli niin kuuma ja kuiva ett\u00e4 se saattoi osaltaan vaikuttaa. Tomaattia olisi kiva saada my\u00f6s s\u00e4il\u00f6tt\u00e4v\u00e4ksi asti, nyt ne meniv\u00e4t kaikki tuoreena leiv\u00e4n p\u00e4\u00e4lle ja salaattiin. Tammelehtisalaatista pid\u00e4n my\u00f6s kovasti joten sit\u00e4 varmaankin laitan v\u00e4h\u00e4n. Muilta osin suunnitelmat ovatkin viel\u00e4 auki. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 2022 here in the blog starts with self-sufficiency stuff. Sari from Tsajut blog<\/a> and Heikki from Korkeala<\/a> blog are still hosting this group post round. Issue this month is plans for upcoming year, early pregrow sapplings, weaknesses on self-sufficiency and introduction if they so choose. I introduced myself couple months ago when I joined in to self-sufficiency bloggers, you can read it here<\/a>. Links to other bloggers posts can be found at the end as usual. EDIT: BROKEN LINKS TO OTHER POSTS NOW FIXED!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a bad habbit on being late on everything. Most often I am also late on the pregrowing of sapplings. At the moment we don’t really have any proper place to put the sapplings safely (not enough windows and four cats). So that being said, I haven’t even planned yet what I want to grow, not to mention buying and seeding. It could well be that in this summer I will again choose plants that don’t need early pre-growing or just buy pregrown sapplings, which are more expensive of course. And this brings us to the weaknesses of my self-sufficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biggest weaknesses and challenges on my self-sufficiency are exactly that; disability to anticipate and to schedule things properly. I am not very good at starting things on time and I tend to leave things to last minute. For this reason I have never managed to start seeding early. Not untill I can seed straight onto the garden. I am also lazy in nature and mandatory chores are often left undone when there is something more fun things to do. And combine all this to the undulating energy levels and gusty drive to do things and you have a complete mess. So my garden is most succesfull with plants which don’t need much care. Atleast so far I have had the energy to water them regularly. Even more so than my houseplants, which are in quite poor condition in the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These same weaknesses can be seen at the end of the harvest season. It’s much easier with vegetables, fruit and berries which are clearly “ready” for picking. However herbs which can be harvested all season round, are much trickier. Usually I remember them when the harvest is almost over and herbs are not at their best anymore. I try to improve these every year, but sometimes it does not work. I am also trying to learn that for me it’s nicer to collect and preserve harvest in small batches rather than have full weekend-long preserving sessions when time and glass jars always run out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to lazyness and lack of initiative we have one major failing on lack of storage space. This will change in time, but that will take time. At the moment we have little to no space to store food (one small upper cupboard, two wicker baskets for jars and tins and one drawer for spices). My dream is to get proper old style larder at some point. It would have enough space for all dry goods and preserves, ready-made and semi-ready-made goods which don’t require cool storage. We also don’t have cellar at the moment. Renovating the cellar back to use would give us much more space for root vegetables, fruit, jams, juices etc. Now we only have space for what ever we can fit into our fridge. I was talking more about renovating the cellar in the Building dreams-post<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let’s return for a moment to what I want to grow on our garden. After all I have thought about it before, even though upcoming summer is still question mark. We are lacking fruit trees and I have been dreaming about cherries and pears. Raspberries are overgrown by spiraea billardii and wineberries suffocated by grass need to be refurbished. I also need to add more grow boxes. I already put fourth together in Autumn and prepared if for spring. I probably plant some zucchini on that. Three older boxes will have atleast garlic, tree onions, lavender and chives. I would also love to have Thousands-and-thousands cherry tomato, it seems to have huge harvest. Last summer I made the mistake of putting tomato and peas into same box. Neither gave very big harvest, allthough summer was very hot and dry, so that might have had something to do with it. I would love to have enough tomato to preserve, now we used all fresh on salads and on sandwiches. I also love oakleaf lettuce so I probably will seed that too. Other plans are still open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keitti\u00f6puutarhan alku. Takana n\u00e4kyv\u00e4 oksakasa on orapihlajaa. Kasaa ymp\u00e4r\u00f6iv\u00e4 alue lavoihin asti on edellisen omistajan j\u00e4ljilt\u00e4 t\u00e4ynn\u00e4 orapihlajan oksia, jotka t\u00e4ytyy siivota jotta alueella on turvallista k\u00e4vell\u00e4.

T\u00e4h\u00e4n haaveilen saavani mukavan keitti\u00f6puutarhan hedelm\u00e4puineen, perennoineen ja lavakauluksineen. Ehk\u00e4 sit\u00e4 voisi ymp\u00e4r\u00f6id\u00e4 jonkinlainen risuaita. \/
<\/strong>The beginning of a kitchen garden. Pile of dry branches at the back is hawthorne. They were left there by the previous owner. Area around the pile is covered by hawthorne branches, all the way to the grow boxes. It needs tidying up to be safe to walk. I have been clearing it bit by bit every now and then when I get inspiration for it. My dream is to turn this area into lovely potager with fruit trees, perennial plants and growboxes. Perhaps some sort of fence made of branches would be lovely too.<\/strong> <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
