Homesteading in the city. 77 Year old Grandma
This is my Mum she is now 77 years old. She grew up on a farm and although she came to live in the city, she has stayed a farm girl. She lives in Kimberley, South Africa all on her own and since we were kids she almost never bought vegetables from a shop. She plant her own vegetables . My brother use to say."If she will plant a stick it will also grow"
Here are a few photos of her vegetables.
Butternut out of her garden.
She has a very old phone so the quality of the pictures are not very good.
This is one of her cucumbers with a length of 27cm.
This was a pumpkin that she was very proud of it weighs 4.55 kg.
She loves tomatoes if there is some in the garden she walks with the salt pot and pick it and eat it as fresh as it comes.
Before she goes to pick the corn she first put the pot of water on the stove. So when she comes back with the corn the water is boiling and she cooks it only 15 minutes. She believes you eat it immediately without butter.
Some of these beans are more then 30 cm.

No wonder she still looks so lovely, healthy and happy---all that good country living and fresh veggies!
Yes, thank you eyeofthestorm. She do all the gardening herself. She makes her own compost. We are very fortunate to have her as our mother.

Oh what a nice lady and healthy way of life.
Thank you for commenting angrezi. Yes I must follow her example but I do not have such green fingers.
Your Grandma is lovely, and her harvest looks wonderful :)
This is truly wonderful. This is who I want to be when I am of that age. God has been so good to me and my family, and has guided me to provide for us through the garden. Thanks for sharing. Upvoted and now following.
