Baby spinach in my salad...

What a delight to have such fresh baby spinach in my garden and now the nasturtiums are blooming so the flowers will join the leaves and herbs from the garden and the pots and end up in my salads. The coriander is looking so good and it tasted wonderful in the salad tonight.

The tomato plants are strong and the leeks are reaching for the sky. Lovely stuff.

Today was spent weeding and putting down compost. The pavement garden is putting on its beautiful mantle and will soon be filled with purple and white flowers. This part of the garden is in the North corner and these are the feng shui colours for this area. Also gold, silver and blue. The wild sage with its purple flowers is a beautiful addition. Their new growth has started and so we will prune the old stems to allow for the lush rebirth.

The new seedlings arrive next week. Red lettuce, friseƩ, Italian parsley, pansies, violas, violets - all for our beautiful salads. The basil is ready for the pesto and we shall be planting new chili seeds next week for the chili coriander pesto.

Growing your own herbs and vegetables must be one of the most rewarding things to do.

Grow babies grow!
