Well it's the beginning of the middle month of winter here and when I read about Matron's 'Trugblog' post over at Down on the Allotment I thought I'd have to bow out of this one. 
BUT When I went out to pick some veg for the lunch Doc's cooking up on the weekend I found all sorts of things growing out in the garden!!! We are having a mild winter with just enough rain to keep the garden growing.
Lots of greens with Kale, Silverbeet, Parsley, Celpar, Alexanders and Lettuce so I added some Calendula and Rosemary flowers to brighten it up. The bunch of mini Chillis are bright too.
A closer dig around and I found some Beetroot, Red Onions, Red and Purple Potatoes and a few little Carrots as well.
Topped it off with some more Herbs, the first Mini Cauliflower and one of the Broccoli heads. Of course I couldn't forget todays offering from the girls 3 lovely brown Eggs.
Thank you Matron for making have a good look at just what is growing in my garden!
Scarecrow, that photo and vegetable arrangement deserve an award, it is truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Spring.
ReplyDeleteHow's your garden coming along???
That is really the test of a great gardener to have so much food in the middle of Winter! I doubt whether I could put on such a good show in 6 months' time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Matron
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to find so much growing out there.
This is a good year!
Scarecrow, yours was the prettiest basket! By the way, we are eagerly awaiting Doc's cob oven tutorial.
