Home January's Challenge: BE TIDY
My family know that I am most certainly not naturally tidy! The kitchen drawers were a good challenge to today.
I now have some items to take to the second-hand shop,
and my rubbish bin is a little fuller.
Garden BANANAS
will enjoy
....Bananas offering a high dose of potassium for one's heart and nervous systems;
Wishing you happy "Home-and-Garden-making"

Garden BANANAS
Just prior to the New Year, it rained -
a good steady rain following a month of drought.
The best ever New Year present for our suburban garden.
My desire
to learn to grow survival foods towards self-sufficiency keeps me motivated and trying out a new method when a previous gardening attempt has
been flawed.
It is my hope that our garden will be as silver and gold to us and others.
This year, I won't try to dictate
what the garden should do. I will let it have its own way to some extent, while I still weed and feed it, looking forward to its
produce.
What will be the destiny of this amazing bunch of bananas?
I wonder how many familieswill enjoy
sun-ripened bananas
from our garden ?
from our garden ?
....Bananas offering a high dose of potassium for one's heart and nervous systems;
....Bananas which are good for one's kidneys and bones;
....Bananas which can act as a mood enhancer or mild sedative;
....Bananas which are good for one's blood;
....Bananas which are a fine source of dietary fibre. Yum!
These bananas will be a summer golden treasure, and until they ripen, I put
them to bed each night, tucking them inside their large home-made hessian bag,
protecting them from the local bats.
It is good to watch a garden grow,
To learn its ways
As nights and days
And monthly moons
Come and go,
While we watch our garden grow.
