There Is Something......

There is something so nourishing about gathering your own vegetables and herbs from your garden and preparing them to eat.

With more vegetables and herbs as well as edible flowers happily growing in the garden soon I will have a colourful array of herbs and vegetables ready for this years harvest.

The summer months make it near impossible to grow your own food here in Western Australia, the intensity of the sun dries out the soil so much each day that everything struggles to survive, often even after a watering in the morning to help them cope with the heat, by afternoon they are shrivelled and hanging onto survive.

Now though as the weather settles into the colder winter months gardens flourish.

Each day the seedlings seem to grow a few inches and soon they will begin to produce enough for me as well as family and friends......
