I have been living in rented accommodation this Summer in the UK with no vegetable patch to play with and the knowledge that I left Sabrina in France with a huge vegetable patch and no man to help her!
There was at least a very under-loved greenhouse outside my temporary home in Yorkshire and I was determined to make the best use of it.
It took a fair bit of work.
I had to re-locate a little bees nest which broke my heart, but there was no other way.
After cleaning everything up I bought two french varieties of tomato.
It was important that I bought them as mature plants because I started late in the year. Ideally one would plant them as seeds taken from the best fruit of the previous year.
I found adequate tubs for them and mixed in some horse manure with any scraps of soil I could find from around the area.
I also planed basil and mint, the two herbs I use most in salads and smoothies.
It didn't take long for them to sprout into life, growing at an incredible pace.
They quickly overtook one side of the greenhouse, even with my vigorous pruning.
There were hundreds of green tomatoes at one point and the horse manure no longer seemed to be giving them the boost they needed.
Urine for nutrients
I did a lot of reading on urine last year and learned how it is not a waste product at all but an important feedback fluid, full of all the great nutrients our body can't deal with in that moment.
If you don't fancy drinking your first nutrient filled pee of the day (which I highly recommend you do) don't waste it and at least feed it to your vegetables. Permit the natural cycle to continue.
The first pee of the day should be watered down with one part urine, ten parts water... and you're good to go.
They clearly loved it.
I particularly enjoy that my tomatoes are a part of me now ;)
In the end, the only thing I paid for was the plants (£5 for two).
For the last month I have been eating one or two a day. Usually in a salad or sandwich which incorporates my other recent obsession, sprouting.
From this..
To this...
The bread is locally made and the lettuce locally grown.
Perfection ;)
What's good about tomatoes?
Tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K

And they taste great!
Final point
I feel a sense of urgency with my growing exploits these days. Times are changing quickly as we move deeper into the Grand Solar Minimum and the terrible growing season in the farm belt of the US this year (and numerous other regions around the world) is going to have an effect on the price of the remaining food.
So be sensible... collect seeds and learn to grow your own.
This will soon become the most important skill you could have.
I have been making use of the local apples & berries in my daily smoothie and my body has been on good form.
Coz that's how it works folks. Let food by your medicine.
Love & Light everyone 🙏🏻
