unfaithful to my blog! haha, here comes spring/summer. I've been in the garden, because sure as shit we'll need that food it produces. I spend a lot of money on plant food; a good fertiliser, and a great feeder for the flowering/fruiting part of the cycle. That's where the money goes, and I buy a packet of seeds each week in the winter, here and there, in the shopping. We don't have a huge variety, just beans, peas, spinach, silverbeet (once it gets hot that bolts) lettuce and leeks.
We are just eating up the leeks from the winter; I leave them in the garden and go harvest one when we want to eat it. Easy! Leek and potato soup for tea tonight, with home made bread. I also bought an apple tree (Palmer's had them for 30 bucks last week) and a feijoa tree. Nowt from the apple for a couple of years, but hopefully we'll get something off the feijoa next year. Even a couple would be yum! I'm looking at getting a peach tree as well, because the thought of bottling my own peaches sends this foodie into paroxysms of delight! I made my own marscapone last night. It's so easy! Bloody hell, what are they charging us for? Oh, right, because they can.
Amazing
