It's a lovely day today and the sun is shining brightly. We didn't get up so early because it's Saturday anyway. At least during the weekend when they are off school we have the chance to lie in.
I get up and made my husband a coffee and made toast for the kids. Then told them we are going to the garden and they can help me to do some cleaning.
I share that in noise.cash that I will have the kids help me this weekend as the weeds are growing in the tunnel house where the tomatoes are.
Look at those tomatoes ready for harvest! Love the colour and I can tell you it's super juicy inside. And you don't need a dip, those tomatoes are perfect. We really are lucky to have a good harvest this year.
Tia and Jigs started to pull the weeds and Tia keep asking why they are keep growing and why we have to pull them if they're coming back then she has to pull them out again. Haha, she has a good point!
And after that, they insist to be the ones to pick up the ripe tomatoes so they can show them to their Lola (granny). They know granny loves tomatoes.
I will also give some to my brother in law when he comes tomorrow morning. He loves the ones we gave the last time so he's asking for more. And we have plenty here to give as we cannot eat it all.
They really are enjoying picking tomatoes and would love to pick as many as they can.
Tia asked when the others are ready so they can turn red orange. She said she can't decide if tomatoes are red or orange and neither can I. Lol. Jigz said next year he will be the one to look after the tomatoes so I don't have to do it.
And here's our today's harvest! The kids just grab it and run to show it to Lola. She had try one and told the kids well done as they pick them themselves and pull the weeds making the place tidy. They got a fiver each and maybe we can bring them to the beach today or somewhere then they can buy some ice cream as a treat.
I would love to have my tomatoes with salted egg. Or with fried fish. It's so satisfying to grow your own food and eat it. You will not be worrying if it's safe if there's pesticide or something on to it. So I encourage you to plant your own in your backyard or the garden. And be rewarded, to taste the fruit of your labour!
Thank you for reading!
Oh, how vibrant those harvests are! You must be so happy knowong you have adorable babies helping you out! You are now reaping the benefits of your hardworlk. Hashtag, fruits of labor. Hehe.
