About the blogger

My name is Tom and I am co-owner of Plukkers.com. I am the father of two beautiful daughters and I have a wonderful wife. When I turned a bare spot in the lawn into a herb garden in 2014, I got a very special feeling inside. I immediately felt that it was not a whim but the start of an irresistible and fiery passion. I wanted to know everything and also wrote down what I learned on my website Moestuinweetjes, which is now called Plukkers.com. I also want to inspire other people to grow their own food. At my house in Wielsbeke is my dream garden with a greenhouse, vegetable garden and a hobby vineyard with 333 vines. In addition to wine, I also make delicious beer at home to occasionally celebrate life in moderation. I toast with you to an exciting, richly filled life under the motto: "Make it yourself!"
