Growing ones own food is a slow process, and you learn very quickly how fortunate we are to have "Pick n Pay/Woolies" to fall back on in the LEANER TIMES! LOL!But there really is something special about harvesting your own veg, however little it may be. Our vegetable garden is now finally starting to resemble one, as every bed now boasts either seed, or foilage of some sort...but mostly seeds, with the new stuff we've planted. This last week we were able to eat homegrown carrots, and I'm really hoping that soon, the spinach will be ready.
Last week I made a batch of homemade lemonade which the children have DEVOURED. I have been told it's "better than lime and soda", which has up until now been their absolute favourite drink. But the REAL TEST is that Sabrina for the first time EVA, has drunk a full bottle of juice at school - I usually only fill the bottle half way because she barely touches it. We've also been enjoying homemade rolls and bread, which is SO MUCH HEAVIER than the bread we buy in the local stores - makes you realise how our food has changed significantly - nothing better than freshly baked bread, butter and JAM!
