Home-grown veggies

These are cucumbers grown in Sister-in-laws Mum's garden. They are crunchy and delicious. SIL's mum also has her own chooks and the eggs they produce have huge bright orange egg yolks and taste equally delicious.

Parents-in-law have been bringing over tomatoes they grow in their garden. They are very different to those ones you buy in the supermarket. They are picked ripe, rather than gassed to ripen. Even though they have shorter shelf-life but no goodness is sacrificed.


The idea of growing our own vegetables appeals to me. At this stage though, there are just too many things on my plate to start another project. I don't have a green thumb, I have killed plants like mint that everyone say grow like weeds. I don't particularly enjoy weeding either. But I am considering giving herbs another go. After we put in a new back door, install the handles we bought and put more things lying around into boxes, this can be little my pet project.
