Welcome to Sow Grow Harvest, I’m Tracey and I grow vegetables in my back garden plot in Essex, UK with my husband and daughter who is 2 years old.

I aim to show you my experiences in growing vegetables and I hope that I can help or encourage you grow your own fruit and vegetables. I am also trying to get my daughter involved in growing vegetables too so she knows where her food comes from.

Growing your own food is an excellent hobby as there’s so much to be gained from it through mental health to nurturing your vegetables through tough times and then the ultimate achievement when a tiny seed becomes a massive glut of vegetable harvest. 

You’ll soon be excited about harvesting your own vegetables, this isn’t just for the first time, it’s all the times, year in year out. I never get tired of seeing what has popped up above the soil or below the soil and the proof is in the eating. 

Who wouldn’t want to eat fresh vegetables and fruit from the garden? All your friends and family will be lining up to ask you for your offerings soon enough. I know our family does!

I believe growing vegetables is just like life. You have to mix the good times with the bad times and if you keep going, showing love, care and attention, you’ll have something to show for it in the end.
