Below are a couple of images showing the progress of the onion and leeks that were planted earlier.
This is my small quest to achieve some sort of self-reliance (I think that the term self-sufficiency is a little too grandiose for what I am able to achieve). From small tasks such as baking your own bread, to growing your own vegetables (urban farming!) and making your own preserves, I believe that you are able to take back a little bit of control of your life and have fun at the same time.

Tomato seeds are in!
Today I sowed a pot of Black Zebra tomatoes (3 seeds), a pot of Nepal tomatoes (3 seeds), two pots of Golden Cherry tomatoes (6 seeds), five pots of parsley (2 pre-soaked seeds per pot), a pot of Black Beauty eggplant (3 seeds in the pot) and two pots of King of the North Sweet Pepper (3 seeds per pot). I am being a little cautious about the quantities as it all needs to fit into the square foot garden I have going. I might have to change some of the positions that I have planned as I go, but I am only doing four tomato plants this year. Hopefully I will actually get to eat some this year as most of my crop was wiped out by blight last year. I have put them on the heating mat that I bought from Lee Valley recently, so let's hope that it does some good, especially with the heat-loving seeds.
