  2. Also das v-Schnitzel (Vitzel?) von Edeka Herzstücke ist nicht schlecht, hat vielleicht eine bisschen zu weiche Konsistenz, aber noch nicht unangenehm, geschmacklich fand ichs gut, preislich weiß ich gar nimmer genau, glaub so um die 2€ - 2,50€ für zwei Stück, die sind ja preislich schon auch recht ähnlich. War für mich mal wieder was feines.

    btw...
    Ich bin nimmer so 100%ig drin im Thema, aber ich finde, es stand schon mal besser um die alternativ Produkte oder täusch ich mich? Kann sein- 🤷‍♂️
    Aber irgendwie find ich es stagniert.
    Wann endlich 1kg Packungen von Vuggets? Wann endlich V-Wings, also Vings? Schön scharf, so KFC mäßig oder so... Und wenn ich schon dabei bin, ich will vegane Tillman's Toastie, also don't call it Vitzel Vitzel für den Toaster..
    Dabei fällt mir ein, gibts eigentlich noch Pop-Tarts? Wahrscheinlich schweine teuer, sind die vegan, das wäre auch noch was,
    Und, Bifi-Roll oder diese Bifi-Taschen in vegan, wäre auch cool.

    Fiel mir grad so ein...

  11. Charmy’s Army in “DEE SEAST – The Hell of the Ball” – Part 3: Blue Vests and Brown Bananas

    <<< Previous COMIC strip NEXT COMIC STRIP >>>

    In the third installment of our saga, panic reaches a fever pitch before colliding directly with mundane retail logistics. Convinced that Walmart’s customer service desk has instituted a terrifying new policy for processing refunds, the ponytail girl spiraled into sheer dread: will returning a defective toaster get her tossed into a holding pen to be devoured by domesticated ghouls? Thankfully, the blonde clears the air. Dee isn’t eating dissatisfied shoppers; she works in the meat department devouring the expired cuts. She isn’t a mindless trash can, either—as corporate HR would insist, she is a proud “Waste Management Facilitator.”

    The fluorescent lights of the retail district buzzed overhead like a hive of mechanical hornets. The ponytail girl stood dead in the center of the sidewalk, completely frozen in terror, clutching both hands to her face. Her eyes were practically the size of saucers, and her breathing sounded like a bellows working overtime.

    “I bought a set of non-stick sauté pans three weeks ago,” she whispered, her voice trembling with sheer, unadulterated existential dread. “The coating is already flaking off near the handle. I have the receipt in my purse. I was literally planning to go to Customer Care this afternoon. But now? Now I know the truth! They’re going to look at my receipt, see that the packaging is torn, hit a discreet red button under the desk, and drop me down a trapdoor into Dee’s feeding pit!”

    The blonde stared at her friend for three long seconds, an expression of profound exhaustion settling across her features. She pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a deep, shuddering sigh that blew a stray blonde lock out of her eyes.

    “Have you ever, in your entire life, heard of a big-box store feeding actual human customers to an employee?” the blonde asked flatly. “Do you realize the liability insurance premiums on that alone? The Occupational Safety and Health Administration would have field inspectors crawling through the air ducts within forty-eight hours. The paperwork would take decades.”

    “Corporations do terrible things to protect their quarterly profit margins!” the ponytail girl insisted, gesticulating wildly toward the towering blue sign visible above the tree line. “Think about it! Customer returns cost money! Salvage freight costs money! If you replace the return desk with an apex predator from beyond the grave, refund requests drop to absolute zero overnight! It’s the ultimate cost-cutting measure!”

    “She’s in the meat department, you absolute lunatic,” the blonde barked, grabbing her friend by the arm and dragging her along the pavement. “She doesn’t eat dissatisfied patrons who lost their receipt for a shower curtain. She eats the brown ground chuck and the discount chicken thighs that have been sitting in the display cooler forty-eight hours past their sell-by date!”

    The ponytail girl blinked once. Twice. Her frantic breathing slowed down, though the look of absolute disgust remained firmly plastered across her face. “Wait… what?”

    “You heard Charmy earlier,” the blonde continued, shaking her head. “Food waste is one of the biggest logistical hurdles in supermarket management. Stores throw away literal tons of spoiled produce, dented cans, and graying beef every single calendar year. Landfills charge dumping fees. Commercial composters have strict guidelines. But an undead post-human? Their digestive systems—or whatever remaining chemical soup passes for an internal organ—can neutralize bacteria that would put a vulture into an intensive care unit.”

    “So she’s a garbage disposal,” the ponytail girl summarized, wrinkling her nose until her freckles scrunched into a tight knot. “A glorified, walking, rotting kitchen sink drain with bangs.”

    “Charmy said she prefers the title Waste Management Facilitator,” the blonde corrected with an ironic smirk. “Corporate America doesn’t hire monsters; they hire operational specialists. They probably gave her an orientation badge, a five-minute video on slips, trips, and falls, and a designated break room in the refrigerated storage annex so she doesn’t scare the bakery associates.”

    Across the street, Charmy and Dee had paused outside a small convenience store. Dee was leaning against a lamppost, her head tilted at a precarious angle that suggested her neck vertebrae were merely suggestive guidelines. A passing delivery driver glanced at her, double-took, and quickly crossed the street with an expression of profound confusion, but nobody screamed. Nobody dialed the national guard. The world had simply absorbed the unthinkable and filed it away under routine municipal oddities.

    “I don’t know what’s worse,” the ponytail girl muttered, watching Dee attempt to scratch her shoulder and nearly dislocating her collarbone in the process. “The idea that the zombie apocalypse ended with our society almost being overrun, or the idea that it ended with the survivors realizing zombies could be exploited for unpaid sanitation labor.”

    “Welcome to late-stage capitalism,” the blonde replied with a dry chuckle. “If a catastrophic virus wipes out twenty percent of the population, the remaining eighty percent won’t mourn; they’ll just figure out how to put the fallen to work clearing out the dairy aisle. But hey, look at the bright side: at least Dee is earning an honest living. It’s more than half the guys you’ve dated this year can say.”

    “That is a low blow and completely uncalled for,” the ponytail girl grumbled, though she couldn’t suppress a faint, cynical grin. “At least my exes showered once a week. Dee looks like she just crawled out of an abandoned septic tank behind a haunted waterpark.”

    “True,” the blonde agreed, watching as Charmy gently handed Dee a small bottle of hand sanitizer, which she promptly attempted to drink before Charmy calmly redirected it to her palms. “She’s definitely rough around the edges. But that brings up an even more pressing dilemma: with Halloween coming up, what does an integrated undead citizen do for social life? And more importantly… what does this mean for the town dance?”

    The Autonomous Kitchen: Why Vegetarian Gardening Is Your Best Defense Against Rising Food Prices

    Walk down the produce aisle of any local supermarket today, and you are met with a quiet, persistent shock. Price tags for organic greens, imported tomatoes, and even humble root vegetables have climbed to levels that make a weekly grocery run feel like an exercise in budgeting gymnastics. Inflation, supply chain vulnerabilities, and transportation overheads have turned fresh produce into a luxury commodity.

    Yet, right outside our back doors—or on a sunny apartment balcony, a postage-stamp patio, or even a well-lit windowsill—lies an alternative.

    Vegetarian gardening is no longer just a pleasant weekend hobby or an aesthetic lifestyle choice. For the modern household trying to wrestle back control over monthly expenses, growing your own food has become a practical act of economic self-defense. And contrary to popular belief, you do not need acres of pristine farmland, expensive motorized tillers, or a degree in horticulture to make a serious dent in your grocery bill.

    If you have ever considered growing your own food, there is no better time to start than right now. Even as the seasons transition and the weather cools, a strategic approach to beginner gardening can yield fresh, nutrient-dense crops, slash your food overheads, and transform the way you interact with what you eat.

    The Economics of Home Cultivation: Why Every Dollar Invested Counts

    When people first think about starting a vegetable garden, they often make the mistake of comparing homegrown food to the cheapest, highly subsidized, mass-produced items at the discount grocery store. If you measure success solely against a head of iceberg lettuce priced at rock-bottom wholesale rates, a garden might seem like an expensive way to buy dirt.

    However, the real financial power of a vegetable garden lies in targeting high-value, high-yield, and perishable crops—the exact items that cost the most at checkout.

    • The Organic Markup: Organic specialty produce commands a massive premium. Growing your own using organic methods strips out that markup entirely.
    • The Perishability Penalty: Delicate greens, fresh culinary herbs, and vine-ripened tomatoes spoil quickly in transit and on store shelves, driving up retail prices to account for waste. When you harvest these items 30 seconds before you cook them, food waste drops to zero, and your savings skyrocket.
    • The Yield Multiplier: A single, well-tended tomato plant or a vigorous zucchini bush can produce pounds of fruit over a season, turning a packet of seeds costing a few dollars into dozens of meals. Bonnie Plants

    By focusing your efforts intelligently, a small backyard setup or a collection of containers can easily trim a meaningful amount off your monthly food budget, paying for its initial setup costs many times over.

    Timing Is Everything: Embracing the Cool-Season Shift

    A common misconception among beginner gardeners is that growing season ends abruptly with the summer heat. In reality, nature operates on multiple gears. While heat-loving crops like standard tomatoes and peppers wind down as autumn deepens, a whole suite of cool-season champions actually prefer crisp air and mild temperatures.

    NC State Extension Publications – NC State University

    In fact, growing vegetables in cooler weather offers distinct advantages:

    1. Fewer Pests: Many common garden insects—such as aphids, flea beetles, and tomato hornworms—are far less active in cooler weather, meaning less time spent managing pest problems.
    2. Enhanced Flavor: Crops like kale, spinach, and carrots actually convert starches into sugars when touched by light frost, resulting in a sweeter, crisper harvest than anything you can buy in mid-summer.
    3. Moisture Retention: Lower ambient temperatures and gentler sun mean soil stays moist longer, drastically reducing your watering efforts and utility costs.

    If you are starting your garden journey now, your primary focus should shift toward hardy greens, root vegetables, and brassicas that thrive when the thermometer dips.

    The Essential Beginner’s Playbook: What to Grow for Maximum ROI

    To maximize your financial return and keep frustration low, start small and focus on foolproof, high-value crops. Here are the best performers for beginners looking to save money at the dinner table:

    1. Leafy Greens (Kale, Swiss Chard, and Leaf Lettuce)

    • Why they save money: Packaged organic salad greens are notoriously expensive for their weight, and they turn to liquid in the crisper drawer within days.
    • How to grow them: Leaf lettuce and chard can be harvested using the “cut-and-come-again” method—snip the outer leaves for your dinner salad, and the plant will keep producing fresh new leaves from the center for weeks. They grow exceptionally well in shallow containers, window boxes, or garden beds.

    2. Root Vegetables (Radishes, Carrots, and Beets)

    • Why they save money: Root crops are dense, filling, and store well for extended periods, reducing trips to the store.
    • How to grow them: Radishes are the ultimate beginner gratification crop, going from seed to harvest in as little as three to four weeks. Carrots and beets require loose, well-drained soil, but reward you with deep, earthy flavors completely unmatched by commercial varieties.

    3. Culinary Herbs (Basil, Cilantro, Parsley, and Thyme)

    • Why they save money: Buying tiny plastic clamshells of fresh herbs at the supermarket is one of the fastest ways to hemorrhage cash on groceries.
    • How to grow them: Herbs are remarkably resilient, take up very little space, and can be grown indoors on a sunny windowsill or outdoors in containers. A single rosemary or thyme plant will provide seasoning for years.

    4. Alliums (Green Onions and Garlic)

    • Why they save money: Green onions (scallions) are trivial to grow and can even be regenerated from kitchen scraps in a jar of water before planting them in soil. Garlic planted in the fall will quietly overwinter underground and reward you with a heavy harvest by early summer.

    Setting Up On a Shoestring Budget

    The gardening industry is filled with high-priced gadgets, chemical fertilizers, and designer raised-bed kits that can easily trick a beginner into spending more money than they save. To keep your project truly economical, adopt a resourceful, bootstrap mindset:

    • Skip the Expensive Containers: You don’t need decorative ceramic pots. Five-gallon plastic buckets from hardware stores (with drainage holes drilled into the bottom), old storage bins, heavy-duty shopping bags, and recycled nursery containers work just as well.
    • Make Your Own Soil Amendments: Premium store-bought potting soil adds up quickly. Build your own growing medium by combining local topsoil, coarse sand, and homemade compost. Save your kitchen vegetable scraps (coffee grounds, eggshells, apple cores, and carrot peels) to build a backyard compost pile. It turns free organic waste into black gold for your plants. The Seasonal Homestead
    • Prioritize Seeds Over Transplants: While buying pre-started baby plants at a garden center is convenient, a packet of seeds costs a fraction of the price and gives you dozens of plants for the price of one. Don\’t Waste the Crumbs

    Protecting Your Investment: Simple Season Extension

    As autumn weather transitions into chillier winter conditions, you can easily protect your crops and stretch your harvest window for months using low-cost materials:

    • Row Covers and Low Tunnels: Draping a lightweight frost blanket or spun-bond polyester fabric over wire hoops creates a microclimate that shields plants from biting winds and light freezes while letting in sunlight and rain.
    • Cold Frames: An old window pane or glass storm door laid over a simple wooden box frame creates a miniature greenhouse that traps solar heat, keeping cool-season greens alive and productive deep into the winter months.
    • Strategic Placement: Move movable containers close to the sun-warmed brick walls of your house. Walls absorb heat during the day and radiate it back out at night, protecting tender plants from sudden temperature drops.

    Cultivating Resilience

    Starting a vegetable garden is about much more than trimming a few dollars off your grocery receipt. It is about decoupling your household from fragile supply chains, understanding the biological cycles of food production, and experiencing the profound satisfaction of sitting down to a meal that you nurtured from a tiny, unassuming seed with your own hands.

    You do not need perfection, and you do not need perfectionist acreage. Pick two or three of your favorite vegetables, find a sunny patch of earth or a spare bucket, plant your first seeds, and take your first step toward food autonomy.

    Setting up a patio garden gives you the greatest advantage in small-space gardening: weight capacity and volume. Unlike windowsills or balconies with strict weight limits, a patio can comfortably support heavy soil, deep containers, and large fruit-bearing plants.

    Here is a targeted setup guide to build a high-yielding patio harvest:

    1. Top Crops & Container Pairings

    Heavy-Yield Vegetables

    • Determinate (Bush) Tomatoes: Varieties like Bush Early Girl or Celebrity grow 3–4 feet tall and produce a full, concentrated harvest with minimal staking.
      • Pot Needed: 10 to 15-gallon container (minimum 12–16 inches deep).
    • Bush Zucchini & Summer Squash: Compact varieties such as Astia or Eight Ball yield fresh, tender squash without spreading 6 feet wide across the floor.
      • Pot Needed: 10 to 15-gallon pot or smart fabric bag.
    • Peppers & Eggplants: Sweet bell peppers, jalapeños, or Italian eggplants thrive in medium-to-large containers.
      • Pot Needed: 5 to 7-gallon container per plant.

    Dwarf Patio Fruits

    • Dwarf Citrus Trees: An Improved Meyer Lemon or Calamondin Orange tree yields fresh citrus and fragrant blooms.
      • Pot Needed: 15 to 20-gallon pot (start young trees in 10-gallon, then size up).
    • Container Blueberries: Varieties like Top Hat or Peach Sorbet stay small (1–3 feet), feature vibrant fall leaves, and produce heavy berries when grown in acidic potting soil.
      • Pot Needed: 7 to 10-gallon container.
    • Dwarf Figs: Varieties like Little Miss Figgy handle root restriction well and yield rich fruits.
      • Pot Needed: 15 to 20-gallon container.

    2. Container Types Best Suited for Patios

    3. Patio Placement Strategy

    To maximize growth, organize plants on the patio based on sunlight exposure:

     [ BACK WALL / HIGH SUN ] -> Dwarf Lemon Tree, Bush Tomatoes (Tastiest with full sun, 6-8+ hours)  [ MID-PATIO AREA ]        -> Peppers, Bush Zucchini, Eggplant (Full sun)  [ PARTIAL SHADE SHADOWS ] -> Leafy Greens, Radishes, Pot Herbs (3-5 hours sunlight)       
    1. Sun Exposure: Place fruiting trees and tomatoes in the sunniest quadrant of your patio (aiming for 6–8 hours of direct light).
    2. Elevate Your Pots: Use pot risers or wheeled caddies under heavy 15-gallon pots. This prevents water from trapping under the container, preserves the patio floor, and allows easy movement.
    3. Soil Selection: Always fill containers with a lightweight, well-draining potting mix (never heavy topsoil or backyard dirt).

    Here is the fundamental rule of container gardening: When growing in containers, you are creating a completely self-contained ecosystem. Plants in pots rely entirely on you for their water, nutrients, and root environment.

    Focus on these five foundational principles to guarantee success on your patio:

    1. Soil & Drainage Rule (The #1 Mistake)

    • Never Use Backyard Dirt: Native garden soil or topsoil compacts inside pots, suffocating roots and trapping water like cement.
    • Use Quality Potting Mix: Always use a lightweight, commercial potting mix (often containing peat moss, coco coir, perlite, and vermiculite). It holds moisture while allowing oxygen to reach the roots.
    • Drainage is Non-Negotiable: Every pot must have drainage holes at the bottom. Without drainage, water sits, rots the roots, and kills the plant.

    2. Container Size Matters

    • Bigger is Safer: Smaller pots dry out within hours during summer heat and restrict root growth.
    • The Golden Rule for Patios:
      • 10 to 15+ Gallons: Bush tomatoes, zucchini, dwarf citrus, and dwarf figs.
      • 5 to 7 Gallons: Peppers, eggplants, and blueberries.
      • 2 to 3 Gallons: Salad greens and herbs.

    3. Master the “Finger Test” for Watering

    • The Common Pitfall: Overwatering kills just as many container plants as underwatering.
    • How to Check: Stick your finger 2 inches deep into the soil.
      • If it feels dry and cool, water thoroughly until water streams out of the bottom drainage holes.
      • If it feels damp or sticky, wait another day.
    • Consistent Watering: Check containers daily during mid-summer peak heat—large plants in pots may require daily watering.

    4. Feed Your Plants Regularly

    • Nutrients Wash Away: Every time you water a container until it drains, essential soil nutrients wash out with the water.
    • The Routine:
      1. Mix a slow-release granular fertilizer into your potting mix at planting time.
      2. Feed every 2 to 3 weeks during active growth using a balanced liquid organic fertilizer (such as fish emulsion or seaweed blend).

    5. Match Plants to Your Sunlight

    • Fruiting Crops (6–8+ Hours Direct Sun): Tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, and citrus require full sunlight to produce fruit and flower.
    • Leafy Crops (3–5 Hours Direct/Partial Sun): Lettuce, spinach, kale, and soft herbs (parsley, cilantro) can handle partial shade and morning sunlight.

    Quick Patio Checklist to Start

     [ ] Potting Mix (Not topsoil or garden soil)  [ ] Pots with bottom drainage holes (5 to 15-gallon sizes)  [ ] High-sun location on the patio (6+ hours for vegetables/fruits)  [ ] Liquid organic fertilizer  [ ] Watering can or hose attachment
