Vegetable


Aren't they impressive? These freshly picked courgettes are Sydney's pride and joy. With great dedication he had started growing vegetables on an experimental scale in a small self constructed hothouse without soil, just water and nutrition and seeds. As the photo proves they are even bigger than a Landrover (toy Landi that is). They are indeed quite big and an outright success. Needless to say we are looking forward to fresh tomatoes and other veggies on our dinner plates. Sydney really is into this new hobby and he is daily seen with a tape measure recording the progression of growth of his "babies", while "THE" peacock (that is THE peacock that has single "beakingly" annihilated any other attempt of gardening within his infamous reach)is impatiently waiting for his chance to raid the place. But seriously, we are all impressed as to how fast and neat the veggies are growing in this method called hydroponics.
