I was serious when I said that we will have bananas for sale! 😜😝🤩 At Checkers, they sell at around R20 per kg (At Woolies, it is almost double the price!). So, I think we will be selling these at R18 per kg. We are about to harvest the second bunch... If you want to buy a whole bunch (or two or three), we might give some discount.... 😉
For info/orders, pls send me a WhatsApp on 0748906645

Black Nightshade. (In Afrikaans it is called "Nastergal"). I found a plant right at the back of my nursery (and thus protected from birds), and this time around I managed to harvest the juicy berries! 🥰 Usually one would make a jam from these, but I don't have enough, so I am going to save the seeds and hopefully grow myself a little patch next summer! 🤩
There are a few different varieties and I am not 100% sure which variety this is. I don't think it is Solanum retroflexum. I think it is between Solanum nigrum and Solanum scabrum... 🤔
Apparently it is called Umsobo in isiZulu and it is indigenous to Southern Africa (but some other varieties are also indigenous to Europe and Asia).
What I want to know is: What do you call this in YOUR language?

Last year I chatted to Elsa about just how easy it is to start your own vegetable garden. Tomorrow (Monday, 19 January), I will be talking about how to preserve the organic veggies that you have grown this summer!
Don't miss it!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Every now and then, the garden delivers some amazing flowers! These are flowers on the Galangal plants and flowers on the San Pedro plants! Who said an edible garden can't be pretty? 😍💚🌱

Radish is so easy to grow! And quite fast too! 🥰

I sow a little patch of radish seed every 3 weeks, making sure I always have a steady supply. Sow your radish seed in well draining soil and in full sun and keep it moist. You can also thin it out a bit when it gets to about 5 cm high.
Did you know that you can also eat the leaves?
If I have too many, I like to pickle them. Sooooo tasty!

I just LOVE growing these Witsa beans! 🥰
They are so easy to grow and they produce like crazy! 🤩
This is my first harvest for the season and there are many more to come! This year, I am really going to try and actually weigh every harvest. I am curios to see how many kilograms of beans can be grown from this one trellis.
(I will make a video of these beans for you in a bit....) 😉

I have plenty Rosemary plants in my garden and today I harvested some. There are soooo many different uses for Rosemary! I think I will start by drying and grinding some for my spice bottles, maybe also some for my shampoo! (Maybe I will even package some to sell...) 😉

What a lovely, magical, golden harvest of Turmeric! 🤩 This is from our Serendipity Garden in Bryanston and I can't BELIEVE that we are still harvesting Brinjals in Jo'burg in yhe middle of winter! Wow! 😍 (The green, spiky fruit is called African cucumber. Super easy to grow! As a matter of fact, it can be quite invasive! But we love it and by now it just pops up in most of our gardens in summer). 😉😊
Let us know what you have been harvesting from your Boutique Urban Farm this June!
