OK so the garden is firing, weather is a cool 5 - 8°c at day break and up to 28°c during the day.
We are doing daily pickings of the new crop of beans. The follow-up planting - which has not flowered yet - will be ready on que as the current one ends. Succession planting is a vital for everyday vege like beans.
Just started to harvest another carrot crop and the next lot is about an inch high. Jeez the last carrot crop was a cracker! Actually talking about cracker crops.. I have never seen so much great looking broccoli that we have been eating from the garden in the last 6 or so weeks - mind blowing stuff (can you tell this stuff excites me?).
Pea shoots have been a great hit around here too - Jules mixing it up in salads, stirring through stir-frys etc. Peas in the pod too, BUT honestly half of it doesn't even make it to the kitchen cos' what we like to do is forage about the garden - we all just go in there and pick stuff and eat it on the spot. The vege garden for us a like a meeting place, our family end up in there several times a day over the weekend chatting and foraging like a bunch of chooks - its all happy times my friend.
Motivating you to plant some seeds? ….join the revolution and cast some seed today!
