2020 is the year of Covid 19 AND the year of the rebirth of the Victory Garden. When I asked my husband if we could have a victory garden I didn't realize other people would remember that phrase (coined during the World Wars) as well! There were thousands of victory gardens planted all over the world this year. These gardens ultimately represented the simplest form of health and life possible. When you grow your own food you are taking control of a vital aspect of your health!
We had a prolific cucumber crop. No matter how big they are they are sweet and refreshing. We have been giving them away with a bit of desperation but so far no cucumber has been wasted.
The Swiss Chard and Kale have had many munchy crunchy visitors
We were pleasantly surprised with our herb garden success! They are hanging from our ceiling as I write ~ drying for the winter months.
This was our first attempt at celery and it did so well!
We have some very small very chewed cabbages but we still have some :)
The beets are so rich in color.
Our victory garden was a success to me. Yes slugs and snails and many other busy creatures had their way with it, and we were gone during some of the harvest time, but our harvest was a beautiful one and we were so happy with it! Something that was NOT a success was our carrotts ~ one came up ~ and our zucchini. We are hoping for watermelons still. This garden made our home coming that much more special. One of the deep joys of 2020.
