Vegetable garden update

In case anyone was wondering......


The vegetable garden has been a fantastic success.

I have done several mystery box deliveries to various people for them to cook up as I had WAY too much produce.

I provided my friend Kate with many 'Asian greens' because I had absolutely NO idea what they actually were and how to cook them.

I no longer think a white cabbage moth looks pretty flying over my garden.


My children love apple and rhubarb crumble. OK actually they only like the apple and the crumble but I'm working on it. They do like the beetroot - only because they are still trying to make their wee turn pink. I have one child liking broccoli - that's got to be good doesn't it? And both kids liking cauliflower - plain, no cheese sauce thanks.

I have also been nominated as the best parsley grower in Adelaide.!!

My lovely friend Heidi is kindly planting my new summer veggies and I'm determined that the children WILL enjoy tomatoes by March next year - stay tuned...
