The veggie garden’s looking lush and happy, particularly the brassicas, which usually get seriously attacked by aphids and cabbage moths. It’s early days yet, but I’ve got fingers crossed that we get to eat homegrown broccoli and cabbage this year.
Eating from the garden is such a pleasure.
Chard is just a variety of beets that doesn’t have an edible root. Learn something new every day.
Ah, so good to be picking dinner from the garden again. Travelling is nice, but so is coming home.
Yesterday I popped some seedlings into the remaining gaps in the veggie beds, with hopes of October meals. This morning, the mizuna has been entirely eaten by slaters. That’s a problem to solve on our return. Today we fly!
Baby bok choy, kale, zucchini, and purple beans. Just a few, in the stew.
Crimson soup tonight 😊
Food from the garden, such a pleasure.
Our carrots are growing all twisted like arthritic fingers. I assume it’s because I planted them from nursery seedlings rather than direct from seed, and they didn’t get a chance to put down a long straight tap root until it was too late. Back to seed next year!
