My favourite pics…
I hope that you have enjoyed joining me on a stroll through our vegie patch. It’s one of my favourite places to be. Can you believe that just three months ago, we did not have a vegie patch! I am looking forward to working and watching it through the seasons ahead.
Until next time…
Happy gardening and…
Bon appétit!

I can’t believe how your veggie garden has grown in such a short time. It looks so lush, green and productive. The variety of veggies and different shapes, shades of green and other colors make it not only providing food, but also beautiful to look at. A place to enjoy.
Thanks Jan, yes it is almost a refuge… It is also filling up the store and freezer which is exactly as I had hoped.
A very beautiful garden.
what a lovely garden
Thank you so much. I find our garden is my refuge, a source of inspiration, and a place for reflection. (Of course it also provides a great deal of food for our kitchen, family and friends as well)
