This year I am testing out the 'straw method' for growing my potato crop which requires laying the seed potato on top of the ground and covering with straw as opposed to digging holes and planting them.

So far, the crop is looking fantastic and upon investigation underneath the layers of straw yesterday, I do indeed have potatoes.

There is approximately 2 weeks between these pics so things are moving along quite swiftly. 🌱

This particular variety of vegetable is known as a 'Baby Squash,' and is a member of the Zucchini family.
Clearly the one on the right is now all grown up since I left it on the bush just a little bit longer than I should have.
I can feel a pot of soup coming on.....

Gardening connects me to nature on so many levels and teaches me lessons that would be impossible for me to learn in any other way.
A tiny tomato seed from last years crop somehow found its way into a crack in the concrete path near my rainwater tank, which has now miraculously grown into a fully mature tomato plant complete with several bunches of ripening 'fruit.'
Resilience, determination and adaptability are words that come to mind when I attempt to describe the miraculous existence of this plant in my garden. 🌱💚

There's a relative amount of 'blood, sweat and tears' that goes in to growing your own produce from seed/seedling to harvest, and I'd be lying if I told you otherwise.
Having said that, there is no greater reward than picking a basket full of unbelievably fresh produce that you know is absolutely, positively organically grown, and being able to plan your weekly meals around it.
I'm always up for encouraging anyone who is interested to set up their own 'patch,' no matter how small.
If this is you, don't hesitate to contact me for tips on how to get started.....💚🌱

Who else thinks that this is adorable?
Another fine example of re-purposing with the use of these old wooden windows as a gorgeous glass house....
Not only is it practical but it's also a great conversation piece!

There's no greater way to maximize your nutrient intake.
