We went to Madelein and Pierre’s place for a braai tonight. As we got there, Carmen came running with a strawberry that she’d just picked from their garden.
It’s awesome to grow your own veggies at home, and Pierre seems to be a whizz at it… they don’t have a big garden, so he’s filled various containers with the most amazing range of veggies.
It really puts my little veggie patch to shame… yes, I’ve also got a veggie patch… mine only has spinach, broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts and tomatoes though.
The braai was actually just what I needed, gotta love friends who pick up on your mood from random tweets even though you haven’t explicitly said anything. Madelein gave me some awesome advice tonight, and I love that she was prepared to listen to my ramblings.
Glad you had a good evening .. and wow look at those amazing lettuces!! .. and the strawberry – nothing nicer than home grown!
oh wow!!
Madelein, can you share some more photos?
We rent so I can dig in the garden, but I’m going to try growing in pots.. would love to see yours!
That is just wonderful, not only the veggies but having a friend who listens and care
