Garden Update

I can't believe it is week 6... halfway thru term. As half-expected the garden has been progressing at its own pace, we still haven't finished the veggie planter. Weekends have been Mat working and/or me working and/or wet. This past weekend we did get as far as buying the necessary gear from Bunnings, then it rained.

I spent a few hours on the balcony today, sun on my face (with the occasional sun-shower), 24hr news on in the background and Smokey for company. A beautiful relaxing Monday. Here is how it is looking:

  *** bonus points if you can find Mr Smokey!

Bottle Brush - has lots of new growth

Lettuce

Onions (up the back)

Onions, Alpine Strawberries, Capsicum and Carrot, Carrot, Carrot, Broccoli and Cauliflower

Natives (for companion planting, beneficial bugs and to be pretty - I love native wildflowers) - Everlasting, Golden Everlasting, Grass Tree and Kangaroo Paw

 

Break time!

Vegetarianism and Semi-Vegan

For anyone who hasn't had the memo, Matt and I have become vegos. I won't preach the reasons why but it all started a few months ago and despite a few 'yeh rights' we are going strong.

We have even started dabbling in veganism, thanks in part to Matt's colleague Townie (also Matt). His wife sent me a link for a great recipe blog: http://www.theppk.com

This was tonight's dinner (x3, one for me, two for Matt), a variation on something that was on the blog recently. I am a lousy cook, so am very proud of this effort. It was YUM!
