For the love of food
I know it’s been a little while since my last garden update. I’m ashamed to say that’s because the garden has taken a bit of a back seat to the wedding in the last few months. I do have a few plants still soldiering on. The first plant I can’t take credit for. My tomato [...]
I think I must be a little bit of a nosy parker. I love reading about what’s going on in everyone’s kitchen in the monthly In My Kitchen posts. I’m even thinking I might give a little sneak peak into my actual kitchen in the hope that other bloggers will share their work stations. This [...]
Yesterday I was out running for the first time this year when I ran across and overturned scratch-it discarded on the ground. I kept running but as I ran a little voice crept into my head ‘what if it was a winner and you just passed $100,000?’ I turned back. It wasn’t a winner but [...]
As you’ve probably noticed, I love growing my own herbs, vegetables and fruit. I may not have been overly successful with many of my planting attempts but the satisfaction of eating something that you grew yourself far outweighs any effort involved. When I gave my first garden tour earlier in the year, I showed you [...]
It has been a little while since I took a tour of my vegetable garden. I was away for two nights over the weekend and was amazed by how much everything grew in just such a short time. For the first time I have enough veges growing that I could make a few meals out [...]
My poor garden has suffered a little neglect in the last few weeks. Luckily, the neglect didn’t kill anything but it did result in a bit of a mess of plants that had gone to seed. The bok choy was out of control although I did enjoy the view of pretty little yellow flowers from [...]
I haven’t reported on the status of my vegetable garden in at least a month but it is going very well. Unfortunately the zucchini and squash haven’t fared too well but they are the only casualties of the cold. Above are the first of the Roma tomatoes coming through. I can’t wait until they’re ready [...]
Knowing how excited I get to read Celia at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial’s ‘in my kitchen’ post each month, I’m just as excited to share my second month of ‘in my kitchen.’ I’m getting even more adventurous as the days go by, my garden is starting to give us some delicious food, I have [...]
I will never get sick of taking photos of my vegetable garden. I am still flabbergasted by how fast everything grows. The bean stalks are now to the top of their trellis and almost climbing over the fence. I’ll have to put a stop to that (wouldn’t want the neighbours pinching any beans). The tomatoes [...]
I think my vegetable garden is on steroids. Ok not really but that extra-special potting mix is good stuff. The gardens have grown like Jack and the bean stalk since they were planted on the 9th of April (the 13th for the Tomatoes). I have wasted spent quite a few hours out there marveling at [...]
I mentioned the other day that I was about to start my first ‘real’ vegetable garden. I say ‘real’ because until now I’ve been growing little bits of random things in an assortment of pots and containers. It was time to get serious. I did quite a bit of research on raised beds that would [...]
