A bountiful Table

A Bountiful and Abundant harvest- Ye Shall Reap What Ye Sows!

May your lives be as abundant and happy as this table is full.

Hello Dear Friends.

Autumn is here and it is my favourite time of year as the weather is just gorgeous. I also love it as it is the time of year when you harvest all of your hard work in the garden and it is so rewarding. The best part is that the vegetables are fresher and more tastier.

Here is a picture of some of my pumkins, I feel so lucky. Some of these were planted , but half were from self sown plants. Also we grew about 50kg of cherry tomatoes and all were from self sewn plants.

Gardening is not that hard- you could do it too- all it needs is for you to have a go. It also doesn't have to be expensive- just start out with 2-3 plants ,prepare your ground before and see what happens. Don't worry if you don't succeed the first time, just try again - a goal with purpose and determination will always find a way.

Bye for now.

One Tonne challenge- 30 days to go

Welcome once again to my gardening blog.

Hope everyone is having a lovely and safe Easter.

My family and I have had a blissful 2 days so far and we have not drivem more than 5 km in 2 days. How wonderful .

In this time I have pulled up all the Gladiolis and replanted some strawberry plants. We have also ripped out all the strawberry plants from one of the aquaponic grow beds as they were aphid infested and no amount of garlic spray was going to get rid of them.

I am so tired now , but at least it has been done. Next thing is to get the garden beds ready for broad beans and brocoli. Time for planting garlic as well. We are going to try to plant some in the aquaponic grow beds with the strawberries as a companion plant to see if they will keep the aphids at bay.

One Tonne Challenge Update

With only arround 30days to go, I have managed to harvest more than

155kg of food.

I am so pleased. I still have quite a lot in the garden so keep posted for the final amount.
