I’m loving
reaping the rewards of my veggie patch at the moment, I’ve been busy collecting
french and borlotti beans, beetroots, salad leaves, tomatoes and courgettes for
the last few weeks now and scouring my cookbooks for different
ideas!!
Over the last
few months I’ve been hunting in the local charity shops and car-boot sales for colanders and have made them into my herb hanging baskets.
Looking
through a gardening magazine it’s given me a wonderful idea of how to carry on
the baskets through the winter by planting up with swiss & ruby chards,
leeks, Cavolo Nero spinach
and beetroots for striking
colour and still keeping me fed through the winter months by picking the baby
leaves. I’ve already planted the seeds and will wait until September to plant
them into the baskets when my summer herbs have died off.
