Despite a turn for
the worse in the weather, the garden has had some nice growth. The Borage the
girls and I planted is noticeably bigger and the Rhubarb and Coriander are
settling in well. There are lots of spears growing on the Asparagus so I might
even get to grill a couple as a treat this year, yum! The Rosemary and Limes
have lovely flowers on them and the Cape Gooseberry and Chilli are enjoying
their winter spot sheltered under the porch.
Today I pulled out
the last of the baby carrots, the last five surviving parsnips and most of the
beets to make way for some of the garlic a lovely lady sent to me, yes I’m
late, I know...but better late than never. In exchange for the garlic I am
sending her a feast of seeds from my collection, I LOVE sharing seed! The
garlic is Kakanui and Takahue, I’ve never grown garlic before so I hope it does
well in my little garden.
