Dealing with the challenges of gardening in the North West Province! My vegetable garden, which was flourishing just six weeks ago, has been cleared due to persistent water shortages caused by load shedding. 💧

The issue seems to be that the Orkney reservoir pumps aren't restarting after power outages, leaving my garden high and dry. I'm determined to overcome this, and drilling a borehole is now my top priority! 🛠️

In the meantime, the soil will rest and be enriched with compost, preparing for a vibrant regrowth. Stay tuned for updates on my borehole project and the garden's revival!

The day's harvest has yielded green beans, cucumber, tomato, butternut, and obergene. We are grateful and have the entire weekend to process these.

Few experiences are more gratifying than witnessing a vegetable garden in full bloom. Thank you, God. 28.12.2024.

The preparation of eighteen bottles of pickled onions and thirteen bottles of pickled radishes is now complete. The only remaining task is to blanch the radishes. I expect the initial bean harvest to take place within the next week.

This garden had me calling my garden engineer in a panic "Simon you must come, the radishes needs to be harvested, the unions must be harvested, the tomato and cucumber needs to be tied to the saplings to rank, and I'm still working!"

But I love it! Love seeing growth from seed to vegetable. Seeing God's hand in everything.

While observing the garden's growth this morning, I felt an intense longing and prayed that my spiritual growth and relationship with God would flourish with equal vigor.

I am thoroughly enthusiastic, not only because the flowers are stunning, but also the herbit are being prepared for bee pollination. Nature is truly wonderful.

Yesterday, I shared archival images of my garden from 2012 or 2014 on my personal profile. This morning, I deemed it fitting to post this video showcasing the progress made. Additionally, I wished to share this update with Ouma Plaas, (87) in the frail care unit at the home for the aged.

Radishes. Not the initial harvest of the season, I might add. The first ones we prepared were akin to baked potatoes, a truly delightful experience. These will likely end up similar to mashed potatoes. Freshly picked from our own garden.
