Fresh from the garden....

Just checked on my brocoli and decided to harvest 4 more plus lots of more yummy lettuce ! We will eat it for lunch. It can't get much better  than eating fresh vegetables from your own garden.... !

Exciting day, harvesting my first broccoli and planting more vegetables....

Check this out:



Isn't this beautiful ? My first proper broccoli ! I am so excited....

Take alook how they have turned out so far, very well I think:


Also, my first cauliflower is coming out, still small but exciting to see too:


I decided to cut 3 of the small lettuce completely as they were not growing much, then also cut my first 2 broccoli heads and we had a wonderful dinner just now. Even the kids has some broccoli :) Definitely the best tasting broccoli ever !


Finally, planted 1 red cabbage, 1 green chard and 1 red chard into the new empty spots. I hope they turn out well as it still gets very cold (with sometimes frost), but fingers crossed....

Daffodils, Hyacinths and some mystery flowers....

Finally got around to plant my birthday presents before the year ended on December 30th: I planted 5 daffodil bulbs, 3 Hyacinth bulbs and a couple of bulbs my daughter gave me from her school (I call them mystery flowers for now).

I used a couple of the pots where I had lettuce in which I took out as it did not grow in there (only grew in my raised beds).

Will post some pictures as soon as something exciting happens !
