Adventure is a Garden Path Away

When I plan my seasonal vegetable garden I plan for the plate. I enjoy playing with colours in a meal and that is why I prefer classic white crockery. White plates are the perfect canvas for colourful vegetables.

I planted red, black, yellow and orange tomatoes and then my garden gave me a profusion of tomato plants that is coming up wherever we used the home grown compost. I suppose the garden decided if I like surprises it will surprise me.

I have three types of corn(maize) in my garden. Yellow sweetcorn, Thai Gold baby salad corn and Black Aztec corn that a colleague bought for me at the Oranjezicht city farm. I cannot wait to see the black corn. Within a week the seeds were up and already stand 3 cm high.

 

It is true what they say, what you send into the world comes back to you. So friends and colleagues constantly present me with interesting seeds that always lead to a new adventure of discovery in my vegetable garden.

I can never be bored because at Towerwater adventure is just a garden path away.
