Today the last of the beetroot and leek was pulled out and processed to make way for
The next crop
These little bags have chopped up leek, I’ll freeze them and use them in stews and soups
Vegetable seedlings have been hard to come by
A friend of mine found some and bought extra for me
She even did a contactless drop off on her way home
I left the money and a bottle of lemoncello for her as a thank you
Hubby came home from work early and together we got the new plants into the ground
You can’t see but the seeds I planted under the mini hothouse, made from drink bottles,
Have started to germinate
I had three empty wicking beds so I planted the new tomato seedlings in those
This is perpetual lettuce. I’ve been harvesting and eating fresh salad for weeks
They need a good hair cut so I’ll keep eating them to help them grow
Tonight we have beetroot salad, I’ve boiled up the small bulbs and green tops
We also have roasted beetroot and leek with chicken
Hopefully our coming harvest is as abundant as our winter crop
It was so lovely to have a good friend who was able to source the vegetable seedlings
I’m so blessed to have so many good friends
All that work has worn me out
Hope your all safe and well
See ya xx
Fabulous garden, F is soooo jealous. We get good fresh food here but there is nothing like growing your own.
ReplyDeleteIt really is lovely to just go out back and see what’s for dinner
DeleteWhen my children were little they would take a basket and say they were going shopping in the backyard
Strawberries snap peas and some Tommy tomatoes never made it into the house lol
Putting me to shame aren’t you Angela:). Hope all your hard work doesn’t get flattened by the heavy rain forecast for the next few days.
ReplyDeleteI’m tossing up whether to put tomatoes in or not. The nursery near to us is open - might drive down to see what system he has in place. With click/collect you have to accept what they give you
We got lots of heavy rain overnight and they are all ok
DeleteWell watered in now too lol
And more abundance on its way I can see. You are going to have a load of fresh and healthy summer meals.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a wonderful garden.
Thank you. Hopefully it all grows nice and healthy and I can share my produce with my children
DeleteI like leeks in soups.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Leeks are very versatile
DeleteThat's lovely work you're doing there. I miss gardening, but I can just barely keep the yard mowed anymore, much less plant things. I do have four beautiful clumps of tall "ribbon grass" that grows eight feet tall each year, also several bamboos, and various other shrubs, most of which have the word Japonica in their names.
