Self Sufficiency On a Plate

I mentioned that the other night we were eating almost all food that we'd grown ourselves.

Here's a photograph of my plate:


Pumpkin, lettuce and tomato from the garden. Egg from our chooks and lamb chops from our own sheep. I did take the carrot off the plate for the photograph - it wasn't home grown (but was still yummy).

While this is still the exception rather than the norm, I was rather pleased with myself. :) It's all a step in the right direction and has me all enthused to get stuck into expanding the garden when we get back from our big trip.
