Welcome on our “Living on a farm in Slovakia – Blog”. In May 2008 we have bought a smallholding in Slovakia without ever having seen it and we have moved to our farm in September 2008. Since then we have started to get acquainted with our neighbours, learn the Slovak language, renovate the house, regain our land from nature and we have actually started to farm on our land in spring 2009. On this blog you can follow our progress and setbacks. Have fun reading it!

It's spring!
It’s spring in my head since the crocuses started to bloom on our windowsill. According to my “sowing-calendar” February is fine for getting the first seeds into the soil. Spinach, garlic, lambs’ lettuce and rucola are all ready to taste the fresh earth.
I spend a day building a cold frame and prepare three sowing beds to give my veggies a good start. Arnold thinks that our neighbors will now start worrying about our mental health – since my Dutch garden book doesn’t mention the option of having a freezing cold February with 20 cm snow….
