My harvest of the day ...

I said recently that I spend a lot of time in my garden, that the efforts I have made are beginning to show ...
 It is true, and it is even time for having some real fruit ( or vegetable from my garden )

So today was a harvest day ..... Very modest, but very pleasant ...


This morning , I was on my way to the flea market ( there is a flea market very Sunday morning in the village, it is fun I very often find interesting things , or at least loads of buttons )
 Anyway, on my way I always carry the rubbish to the big rubbish container round the corner  , and guess what I found on the pavement next to it  : loads of baskets and bags!!! So I took them all , that was my first  harvest of the day ...

And I soon found a use for one of the baskets that I particularly fancy, the wire one was very useful to transport my potatoes .... I know , a very meagre harvest , but I got these potatoes because I had put in the earth a potatoe that had germinated , I am glad I tried it , so don't throw your old potatoes , those little potatoes were the most delicious of all !!







And look at the other very nice baskets too !!!! I am sure I will find a use for them too...











Then , I picked a handful of raddishes ... Just a handful , but those were lovely too ! And  as they are my home grown raddishes , I know that I can make my raddish leaves soup with no fear of pesticides , and my soup was nice too ....






And with yet another basket  I went to get some cherries ...I am pleased with that basket and its ancient look ....




So that was my harvest of the day .... And meanwhile, the GS spent his time in the lime tree and gathered loaaaaads of leaves ...It smells like honey in the house tonight .... 
Very relaxing smell too ....
That is it , rediscovering the simple pleasure like eating the fruit from your own garden ... I love that ....
