he loves his garden, (when im talking about "loves his garden", it means the produce of the garden, putting effort in toiling in it, and the hard work of balancing a small garden to maximise the produce, BUT not in landscaping it--geesh, its not a pretty sight at all without the flowers he puts in them) and the hours he puts in it, depends on his availability and the weather.
its coming to winter now, so mainly, the outside is wet and soggy and he is in the throes of putting buds for next year in his makeshift nursery: our kitchen (to my consternation).
and as much as i dislike the buds comfortably sitting in our kitchen counters for the meantime (and in the back pantry) while its winter, i will never begrudge him for it. its nice to see our husbands happy, dont you think? and for the little he wants from me, with all the big things he has done and is willing to put out with me,loaning him MY kitchen and pantry (very territorial) is a little discomfort i am willing to undergo.
i love this man. and i love him happy.

photos from the last harvest, just before winter started. i think this was the very moment we arrived from Dubai.
he was so pleased that his tomatoes didnt die
him, hard at work oblivious to me taking photos of him..and the plump vine tomatoes
apart from tomatoes, this year,we had some baby potatoes, peppers, parsnips, carrots, and fruits like apples, plums, strawberries, raspberries,and a growing thick bush of rosemary. this makes me happy because it cuts down my shopping budget big time. apart from the fact, i know he keeps an organic garden. (he uses chemical-free pesticides and his soil he regularly keeps healthy by composting. these from a very small garden.
you can tell why my husband is such a laidback happy man from all this gardening..too laidback and chill as long as he has big products spurting from the backyard.

Those are lovely tomatoes, Chel! It's very inspiring to know people like you who grow their own veggies/fruits/flowers. :)
