These tomatoes are from our backyard! I kid you not.
Towards the end of last year, the husband and I decided to have a little vegetable patch at our backyard. It turned out that the husband put in more effort than me — he bought the plants, looked after them and viola! we now have our own tomatoes! The feeling is fantastic. Not only has the husband put in tomatoes, he has also planted various herbs that we use a lot such as parsley and chives. We also have rocket leaves that can be used in salads.
I have to say that tending the vegetable patch involves quite a fair bit of work, but the results are worth it. The boys, especially Calvin were very excited to see the very first tomato growing from our plant. Of course we have problems with bugs eating the fruit and veg etc, but I guess this is part of growing vegetables.
We hope to put in more vegetables in the near future.
