I managed some gentle gardening after lunch, taking care not to overdo the sore back (again) and brought it in a bucket of potatoes and this lovely collection of roots, leeks and a cabbage.
That evening there was an article on the news about sustainable food and buying local - we looked at one another and laughed. Apart from the small amount of chicken brought locally from the butcher who buys only local products, 90% of our dinner had traveled 50 yards down the garden.
That's a great harvest, I so envy you with a veg garden.
ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant. Zero air miles for your veg. I was not successful with cabbage and brassicas this year.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good harvest and that cabbage would last us weeks! Keep growing!!
ReplyDeletejust get him to plant the cabbages closer together , it makes them smaller
ReplyDeleteHome grown is so much nicer isn't it Trish. Your veg looks lovely x
