Tonight we ate from our garden. I made grilled polenta with tomatoes, basil, zucchini and beans from our garden. I also made a mixed leaf salad with cucumber also all from our garden. It feels so good to go out to the garden and gather dinner.

We started our veggie garden in September and it is amazing to see how it has grown since then. I remember visiting St Kilda veg out garden just after we had planted our garden and i wished that my garden was as full and beautifully prosperous. I didn't really believe that my garden would grow, but wow has it grown! The tomato plants are taller than me, the pumpkin vines are taking over the path and the beans are filling the fence. Their are capsicums and cucumbers hiding in the leaves and silently swelling to size. Blue berries and black currants are tempting the possums. And sun flowers reach for the sky. As i didn't really think that the garden would grow i over planted a bit so we have lost the strawberries to the towering domineering zucchinis and pumpkins. Next year I will have more faith.
