Season 1 finale

By this time, we had quite a few vegetables that were ready for picking! Mint grows really vigorously and I had to start drying the leaves out for later use. The same can be said about Basil. It grew at a furious pace over the hot days, too fast for consumption. Hence, the Basil leaves were also put out in the sun for drying.

Amongst the other vegetables that we had planted, the potato harvest was the most substantial. We did have isolated harvests of tomato, chilli, spinach and (a) capsicum.

But winter was approaching and Season 1 of Anshu-Pallo's garden show was over.
