Plants are weird.

The butternut pumpkin seeds I planted in individual pots, in speciallised seed starting mix, and placed in the perfect position for optimal light and warmth, and watered (but not overwateted) diligently to ensure the absolute best opportunity for them to germinate: Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero germination.

The extra butternut pumpkin seeds that I had, that I figured I'd just experiment with, and unceremoniously chucked in shallow dry dirt-holes along the weed-filled fenceline of our garden, and then just left to their own devices: Fucking up on time and thriving.

Like, what the heck? I dunno why we bother with all this seedling molly-coddling sometimes, when those little buggers are just gonna do what they do without our input anyway.

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
