After going through many different names for my blog and to put a name to what I love to do we finally decided on “veggiepatchanywhere.com”.

Anytime I see a dull corner or piece of concrete a balcony or driveway a nature strip or garage roof, all I can think of is putting a vegetable patch there – I obviously have the same genes as my father.

Growing and nurturing your own plants is very rewarding – not to mention the impact you have on the environment, sustainability, mental health and the benefits of wholesome nutritious homegrown food.

I’m also a big believer that children should be in the garden as much as possible, getting their hands dirty, smelling tasting and having sensory play in nature. It may help them build a better immune system because over the last 35 years of my career as a chef it is astounding the amount of food allergies and intolerances in children.

So here we are then. The blog was created and I’ve started sharing my veggie garden life with you guys. I hope you will find it entertaining as well as educational and please fell free to comment or ask questions if you want.
