From Garden to Bowl — Why Homegrown Wins

 

Look at this board. Broccoli stalks, cauliflower leaves, fresh garlic — the bits the supermarket bins, but we turned into soup today.

No spray. No weedkiller. Just filtered water, steam, and 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt.

This is why I grow my own.

Homegrown & Organic:

✓ Picked minutes before cooking — vitamins still alive
✓ Zero waste — we eat the leaves, stalks, skins, everything God provided
✓ No chemical aftertaste — just clean, sweet flavour
✓ Soil stays alive — worms, bees, and healthy microbes thrive
✓ You know what’s NOT in it

Heavy Glyphosate Use:

That’s the stuff they spray to kill everything green so they don’t have to weed. Quick for big farms, but it leaves residues on the crop, in the soil, and in the water. It kills more than weeds — it knocks out the wildflowers bees need and the soil life that makes food nutritious in the first place.
I’ve pulled weeds by hand in my pots in Dewsbury. It’s slower, but my potatoes, tomatoes, radishes and greens have never needed a chemical shortcut.

My choice is simple:

If my grandmother wouldn't use it, neither shall I; I won’t spray it on my garden.

Today’s soups prove it: Garden Tomato, Spring Onion & Radish — skins slipped, seeds saved, blended fresh

Broccoli & Cauliflower Greens & Garlic — steamed 10 mins, blended with filtered water, finished with Greek yoghurt

Fresh. Clean. Blessed. 

Grow what you can, where you can. Even a pot on a windowsill is a start.

Dare to Believe — The Poetry of God's Promises

Alpha and Omega

 I am the God of your forefathers 

I was, I am, I shall come again

I was dead, but I am alive for evermore

I have always had good plans for you 

I am the Love that will not let you go

I created the seas and the stars 

It is I that hold them in place

I am Creator and Sustainer 

I am Justice

I am Fire

Let me clothe you in my Glory

Let me shine from within you 

I am the beginning and the ending 

You shall inherit from my abundance

Because you are my beloved

I shall pour out such a blessing in these days that there will not be room to contain it 

Let no man be in doubt 

I  am among you 

I shall clothe you 

I shall feed you 

I shall heal you 

Are you blind?

Are you deaf?

Are you lame?

Let those curses be lifted

Be in no doubt: I have overcome the enemy 

I bought back your dominion 

And now I offer it back freely

I hold the keys to death

I shall bless you 

Come to me, for my hand is open 

Take what I offer you 

Amen

111,009 Reads + Both Books Now in Paperback — My Kingdom Poetry Journey

111,009 reads on this blog. 1,472,154 across all platforms.

When I started Kingdom Poetry, I wasn't sure anyone would read a poetry blog from Dewsbury about faith, life, and struggle.

Today this blog alone has passed 111,009 reads.

My sister blog, Musical Artizan, is at 130,685 reads.

Combined blogs: 241,694 reads.

Combined with my music:

1,472,154 total plays, views and reads.

Breakdown for the record:

SoundCloud 674K + YouTube 401K + N1M 155K + Blogs 241K
And some personal news:

Both of my Kingdom Poetry books are now LIVE in paperback on Amazon.
Vol 1 and Vol 2 — after years of just this blog, you can now hold them. For those who asked for a physical copy for the bedside table, for church, for a gift — it's done.

I write as a pursuer of excellence. Not perfect. Pursuer. Every poem here has been lived first.
Yorkshire Prestige Awards Winner 2024 — that one meant a lot because it was home. ISSA Gold Active Member — because the songwriting community across the water has carried me.

What's next? More poems, more Psalms, more honest pieces. Vol. 3 is in draft

.

If you've read here, shared a poem, bought a book — thank you. You made 111,009 happen.
