We have worked hard today to get in our garden and herbs and flowers... rain is forecast tonight and tomorrow so this is a great day to get stuff into the soil! Miss J was my side-kick today and helped me plant for many hours!
In our garden beds, we planted Californian Red Onion, Brown Onions, Viking Spinach, Rainbow Chard Silverbeet, Sweet Mixed Capsicum, Sweet Potato, Cherokee Wax Butter Beans, Brown Beauty Dwarf Beans, Blackjack Zucchini, Mighty Red Tomatoes, Cauliflower, Green Dragon Broccoli, Orange Carrots, Purple Carrots, Crystal Apple Cucumber and Lebanese Cucumber.
In our planters, we planted Mixed Lettuces, Baby Spinach, Lemon Grass, Curry, Rosemary, Thyme, Lemon Thyme, Red Legs Spring Onions, Straight Leaf Spring Onions, Chives, Garlic Chives, Lemon Basil, Sweet Basil, Thai Basil, Oregano, Sage, Parsley, Italian Parsley, Blue Bantam Dwarf Peas, Sugar Snap Peas, Oregon Dwarf Snow Peas (these last 3 are getting free-reign over the decking wires!).
We also planted some "Impatients" and Petunias and other pretty flowers.
After all that work, we needed a good dinner! We had fettuccine with a red onion, bacon, garlic & pesto cream sauce topped with slow-roasted cherry tomatoes, kumura, snow peas & pan-seared FR chicken and served with an oven-fresh spelt sourdough loaf!
