You're tomatoes look great! Mine got hit with Blight and I lost the fight. So I assume 1 more good harvest and it's done. lol

July 23 Harvest
Lettuce, Kale, Beets, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Peppers. Garden Fresh. No crap wax or preservatives on them.



Pretty crazy I was able to pull some weeds and dig up the Potatoes IN THE SUN today.. Amazingly, Strangely, and below normally DRY day.

It's great that there are still people out there trying to be self-sufficient.

Do you use non-gmo seeds?

No GMO here. While I save the seeds of some plants, the others come from packets from a company that does not and never wants to sell GMO seeds.

Owen, so if you think my photos look so 'foreign', then where do they look like they are from? The vegetation looks normal for wild pastures in the UK.

Also, any ideas what this is?

You have an awesome garden, Cambium. I hope one day to own a house with a similar garden to yours.



You must not spend much money on produce, huh?

No. The vegetation looks like the plants you would see in Spain.
