Potato Harvest

Remember the post about how my compost pit was becoming an edible garden?
Well, today I had my first ever harvest of non-herbs. My potato harvest.

Looks lovely doesn't it? I got two of these early potatoes.

Here is how it looks in situ:

Someone else was also sorta enjoying the tater:




There are some more potatoes in the making:

I think I will be having a few roast potatoes this time

Herb Pot Happiness

This! 

I have been waiting so long to own one. Last evening when I stopped at the nursery I saw these one sale, so picked one up. Volunteer basil plants from last years' plants are now adorning it.

Although it looks very cute and would look lovely indoors when the weather gets cold, it is a bit of an odd feeling trying to plant it. And watering it causes more than the usual share of mud in the tray.

Anyway can't wait to see these guys thrive. I hope they thrive!

Unexpected Harvest

Every year my compost bin hosts a tomato plant. Every year the little tomatos would be nibbled to oblivion by the not so little ground hogs. This year, I did not clear the grass growing around my compost bin and it had grown over the anaemic golden mop. Today I cleared out the grass and guess what I found?

Amazingly there were two completely ripe tomatos that were not eaten by ground hogs. Unfortunately, they were so worm infested, they went straight back into the bin again.
