Got my vegetable garden spot ready. Fresh home grown tomatoes. Yum. Maybe green peppers and whatever else strikes my fancy

Manna from heaven.. this is what a tomato 🍅 should look like in full ripening mode.. "The vine should suffer.." A wise man once said.. While you are out and about, make sure to buy the brused, the less than perfect looking tomatoe everytime, my brothers, my sisters..

My peppers look odd, but they are tasty.

Some wonderfully vibrant rainbow corn that we grew at work. They are like little gems and almost look photoshopped.

The Week Of The Fourth

The fiction I like to tell myself is a group of Mexican druids poured one out for what these gringos did to this crepe myrtle:

The butternut squash have crossed the cattle panel tellis:

This cantaloupe is a beast & it isn't even ready to be harvested:

Juvenile robin:

Wednesday harvest:

A little more Wednesday harvest:

Fungi growing pour old pine stump:

Pigweed... it is actually toxic to pigs:

Volunteer corn from bird seed:

Volunteer millet from bird seed:

Our Russian kale has been hit hard by Cabbage White caterpillars:

But it has made babies:

Fourth of July barbecue:

Fourth of July dinner:

Blurry firework photos... enjoy:

Friday's harvest:

I have found a great new use for the soda stream machine 💜 in an enclosed area, you can press the button that would carbonate the soda and instead provide CO2 to your pot plants. It helps them to thrive. It helps the plants to grow into some serious chronic!! 😊🫠😍 actually, you could use this method to add CO2 to the air for all plants. And i want to know why isn't there a stoned emoji? I think that there should be one, don't you? I'd use this one but, the eyes aren't right 🫠

Så snart gräset växte till sig så var det dags att ställa ner det till mina två svarta mini-kor 🐮Men lite besviken blev jag allt. Ville ju ha betydligt mer gräs! Det skulle vara ett stort gräs-hav! Kommer med andra ord att få köpa fler påsar 😌

Katten Jansons gräs var tydligen väldigt gott. Mums!

WHAT DOES 'SELF SUFFICIENCY' MEAN?

These are some spuds I harvested from my Winter (off season) crop. The off season crop is always smaller but still worth it. Especially as a way to deal with sprouted main crop tubers.

I can't remember the last time I bought potatoes to eat. But I have purchased seed potatoes to plant.

So, does this make me 'self sufficient' in potatoes or not? Does purchasing seed, manure, growing medium, root crowns etc. mean that someone is not truly self sufficient?

What say you fellow homesteaders? What defines a 'self sufficient' home food garden?

Discuss.......
