Thought I should dabble a bit with the blog once again, if only to prove that I had not passed on to the great compost heap in the sky! Not just yet, I am still kicking and playing in the garden, where I must admit I have enjoyed some success. As a complete rookie at this, I am somewhat surprised that things have turned out as well as they have.
The question now is, are they ready, and what do I do next? Any advice?
Now, these little devils (hot peppers!) still have a way to go before they get plucked, but their fate is ordained. They will flavor many a dish of Chinese mixed veggies, rice noodles, sweet and sour pork and "multiple mushroom soup". I can hardly wait for their contribution.
And these lovely little cabbages are have only one fate: to become the main ingredient in a friends' special cabbage roll recipe.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my little vegetable garden. It has provided me with a purpose when I stand in the back garden, a lovely bit of beef on the BBQ and a pint of beer in one hand, because I now needed to move around and water the veggies with my free hand. Creating life, and exercising all at the same time. Life is grand.

Well done you they all look lovely!!! Will you be posting your recipes do you think??
Thanks Kate, I will try to post the pumpkin pie recipe, as I think it will be quite the job, working from scratch! As for the Chinese recipes, I have been informed that there are no recipes, she just does it.
If I am allowed to sneak a peak, I will post something for you to try if you like.
Yes please!!! make sure its quite a lengthy peak so you can take notes!
I made pumpkin pie once.... it really isn't seen much over here - it was a long while ago so I would appreciate the recipe and photos of course. As I recall - it took forever to make...
mmm Chinese food.......
