Today was a beautiful day in Sydney following serious serial rain.As you know I am passionate about leafy greens and herbs, so today G and I sowed some seeds - flat leafed parsley, known for it's excellent flavour, spinach (perpetual leaf, easy to grow with continuous cropping - according to the packet), some shallots for salads which harvest in 8-12 weeks, to join the existing rocket which can be sown all year round - love the peppery flavour added to roasted veges, and wilted rocket is divine. Our basil crop is doing well - this part of the land has a few hazards re survival of the species - insects, possums (protected) whilst mint has flourished with the wet weather.
It was a good day, as G & I worked our little plot which doesn't have quite enough sun and even though the yield isn't huge, I adore being able to pick a few leafy greens, knowing that they are such a powerhouse re antiageing qualities.
