The veggie patch, wonderfully lush and green...
There's no such thing as too many tomatoes, right?
Silverbeet has a lovely earthy taste, which when picked fresh is really great in a salad with vinegarette dressing.
I didn't realise nasturtiums would be as big as the capsicums when I planted them...A wonderful bug repellent, though.
Corn. Corn corn corn!
I don't remember planting that many carrot seeds...
Cauliflower gratin. Deep fried battered cauliflower. Curried cauliflower. Cauliflower soup. Steamed cauliflower...
Of course Bailey-dog comes for a stroll too, but he's there for the lizards and the butterflies, neither of which he ever catches, yet he remains persistent!
I had to smile to myself when I read that 'silverbeet has a lovely earthy taste'..........
ReplyDeleteOn friday the cook at work, declared her hate of silverbeet in no uncertain terms, "it tastes like dirt" she said....
Personally, I love the stuff and can eat it by the bowl full.
Someone else piped up and said that some old timer she had spoken to, said they used to eat just the stem and throw the green leafy bit away!!
Great to see so much green, lush growth in such a warm climate. Must make you feel cool just looking at it.
