The second day of my two weeks holiday started with domestic stuff like doing my laundry and watering my flowers on the windowsill. And then we drove to our garden. We really wanted to relax, but instead, we started harvesting our potatoes.

But only from half of the field.

But the result looks good and I can't wait to taste them.

Unwashed

Washed and put out to dry.

And we planted a rosemary.

Our leek is in full bloom so we can't eat it this year but we will get some seeds for the next.



Oh, and the bumblebees love our wild oregano (sorry it is so blurry).



That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed the day in my garden.

What a lovely post! A wonderful garden you have! Nothing like growing one's own food, the smell and taste of zero-miles produce, grown organically, can't even be compared to store-bought food. I love potatoes too, in all the different manners one can cook them!
And the lovely flowers and herbs! I didn't know leek flowers were so beautiful!
Enjoy your holiday! P x

Thank you very much. Yes, the smell and taste of self-grown food are wonderful and unique. We don't use any artificial fertiliser so so the harvest result is always a surprise for us.

I either didn't know that leek flowers are so beautiful. And well-loved by bees and bumblebees.

And thank you, I had a wonderful relaxing holiday.
