The joy of a harvest.

Those of us who grow our own vegetables appreciate the meaning of abundance. Gardening is about understanding the factors promoting growth, about elements causing unhealthy plants and lower produce. In the end, a harvest is a joyous moment. For the two of us, the harvest is plentiful, and certainly a joyful and gratifying moment. 

How's your harvest?

  1. This looks like a delicious harvest - you will have some lovely meals from this I can see! I intend to grow just enough for my husband and myself (hopefully!) and any glut can always be given to friends and neighbours.

    I love the photos of your sunflowers and the information about cabbages is very interesting. Thank you Bangchik.

    Happy weekend,

    Jeanne

  2. Wonderful harvest Bangchik and I'm sure you'll be looking forward to meal times this week once Kakdah gets her hands on the produce - I notice that you pick your tomatoes alot earlier than us in the UK we like them alittle more red before picking - maybe its because you will be using them in a stirfry?

  7. I am looking at a bird nest on one of my tree.

    There are four eggs inside.

    I am waiting to see the baby birds.

    This will be my harvest.

  10. My harvest is not yet planted. Your wonderful harvest makes me anxious to get started in my vegetable garden. This weekend I will plant the cool-weather crops such as lettuce and peas.

    Jeanne, Harvest is always more than enough. Thanks for your lovely comments. Sunflowers really brighten up our little garden. Kids are stopping and coming close to the sunflowers. They are counting the number and tell kakdah what they have counted.

    The urge to pick them is so great, that they cant get to real red!

    Talk about purple, nothing can beat eggplant. So royal!

    Ubi kayu taste like sweet potato. a close cousin of sweet potato, but the plant stand up tall with woody stem.

    ~hazeltree
    Grandma used to narrate stories of hardship during war time. Ubi kayu was their staple food then.

    kakdah can sometime be very creative with her cooking. She has plans even before the harvest. Sometime she just pack them up into the fridge.

    Anything that can be picked from a plant or tree is harvest. A fruit or a bird or an egg is a harvest!..

    Good luck to your lettuce. I fail each time at germination. Do you have tips?

    ~Rebecca @ In The Garden
    a vanished post?.. what do you mean?. If i can point what makes eggplant so special.. it must be the roundness and royal purple.

    Thanks.., there are pests around here actually. Grasshoppers mainly, since not many birds come around to eat them. Aphids pay us a visit from time to time.

    ~Carol
    Yea, Kakdah definitely loves these, to try out her specialty. The boys will be around over weekends to taste.
