Finally cleared out the old gazeebo in our backyard, that had become a dumping ground for the kids broken garden toys, and turned it into my potting shed. Got all this years tomato seeds in too.

Next on the agenda, adding shelves under all the windows of the gazeebo, and adding some kind of door to keep the heat in, so we can also use it to sprout seeds earlier in the season, instead of filling up all the window sills in our house.

Pickling the last of the summers tomatoes. Sad the season is over, but whoa baby, what a season! Best year yet for us.

Just a part of todays #harvest.

This #KitchenGardening thing is fun and super rewarding, and a lot easier than most would think, I reckon.

If you've never tried it, and you've got some pots or a bit of empty soil, fill 'em up with veggies and herbs! You wont regret it!

(Actually, the only negative is that supermarket produce has been ruined for us now, 'cause super fresh, straight-from-the-garden veg kicks it's arse in flavour every damn time)

I love looking out our kitchen window and knowing that we turned what was a frankly useless bit of paved terrasse that the previous owners installed into a thriving little #KitchenGarden of #RaisedBeds
