For the love of food
In all honesty, I haven’t shared the garden for a while because it was a little bit embarrassing but recently I’ve been taking a lot more care and the fruits of my labor are well evident. So, seeing as I’m a little proud at the moment, I shall take you on a tour. This little baby baby [...]
I shall start with the success story. All three snow pea seeds I planted in my recent garden makeover, have sprouted and are growing before my eyes. Unfortunately the success ends there. The only other evidence of my plantings that I have seen is one solitary bean stalk out of the three I planted. Deciding [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Every month, Celia from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial writes a post called ‘in my kitchen.’ It’s fantastic. She has such wonderful things in her kitchen and always finds the most amazing ingredients. I decided I’d have a go so here is what’s happening in my kitchen right now. First stop on the kitchen tour [...]
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 [...]
Not a recipe from me today but a trip around my little courtyard garden. I’ve never had so many successes at once so I thought I’d share them. The first ones are my giant chilies. I love the Christmas colours! They’re growing faster than I can use them but I did manage to use a [...]
