I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!
Now a little Shrinking Violet.

I did a colander full of spinach, which I stir fried up with some garlic and oyster sauce, just like mamma used to make.

Some heavenly Accent new spuds, a couple of onions for a bean and onion salad, rocket to make a rocket and feta cheese salad with and some broad beans. Bliss on a plate.When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author UnknownComment
