Harvest Time- Reaping What You Sow

Welcome
One tonne Cahllenge update
So far I have harvested 88kg of fruit and vegetables
This month I have been harvesting some yummy vegetables, and it feels great to pick your own vegies. Not only are they fresher and free from chemicals, it is rewarding to wait for something and then finally pick it. A bit like having a layby ( which I absolutely love) working for something and then finally getting it, make it more worthwhile.
I feel like I was playing with my food as I was arranging these
vegetable to make a lovely display and photo.
Would you believe that these Romana and Cherry tomatoes all came from Self sown plants. I have picked about 16kg of produce and I did not even plannt one plant. This is another benefit of having chickens and a compost.
I did however rescue about 20 plants from the compost and replanted them to a position of better soil and water accessability. I unfortuneatley still have to share soem with the chickens as they seem to love them just as much as me!.
The capsican plants were last years. I saved them at the end of summer and replanted them in mid spring.
Good luck with your gardening endevours.
Tip for a contented life.
We only have time in our lives for the things we make time for. Make time for things that will make your life happier and you will be content.
Until next time
Kindest regards
Lina
