Yes, our first harvest - albeit some small leafy greens… It was still just a moment of pure bliss to have some mouth watering tender new leaves that we grew from a tiny spec of insignificant nothingness - amazing!
Now this might not top the charts of 'first' moments in life, but it's up there! Having such a long break of growing with extreme heat and lack of rain in December, to now be rewarded.
For those who don't 'grow' I would like to quote Stephanie Alexander (Author, 'My Kitchen Garden') which sums up our thoughts pretty much about how we feel…
"Developing your own product kitchen garden is very satisfying, and nothing tastes as special as home-grown produce. You and your family can be confident that the food you are eating is not only fresh and seasonal, it is also free of any harmful chemicals, it has not been transported long distances…"
So get out there, no matter what scale and plant a seed or two!
