Winter afternoons in Andre's Garden
Hi everyone, well winter is a nice wet time in Melbourne. We are picking the following:
1. Brassica Rapa - Bok Choy for our stir fries with amazing fresh coriandrum sativum - Coriander
2. Fresh and lovely Brassica Oleracea Italica they are nice and long stems just like Brocolini
3. Tomatoes did not make it up into the new glass house as our handy man has been sick so we are delayed but we think next year we will have red tomatoes all the way till probably Mid July. Ours are still out in the open and still giving us red fruit that tastes amazing. The red parrots came down and ate a heap the other day little or rather big buggers.
4. Susan's little 6 pot herb garden is still giving us rocket, baby spinach, parsley and amazing feast of peppery tasting Nasturtium Officinale - Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum Water Cress.
NEW NEWS Sushi Wushi in ELTHAM is now using our Herbs2Home Service. Stuart is picking fresh parsley, Coriander and soon he will have a wonderful watercress pot all being used in his wonderful asian trendy eatery in ELTHAM.
Sunday jobs are check my garlic pots for moisture and maybe need to add some perlite to aerate. Check seedlings in shed, check herb pots that are growing on the drive way area.

Still have Red Tomatoes in our Garden on 14th June
Hi Everyone, well this weekend being a long weekend was great in the garden. Planted more garlic but we used some perlite in the base of the pot above a fine layer of soil above the wicking tray.
Picking Broccoli, Spinach, Capsicum, Lettuce, our Coriander is fantastic, and yes still have red tomatoes.
