Monday Madness

I woke up yesterday with plans to get creative with my newly purchased tea-towels.... Only to get slightly side tracked!
A few weeks ago, on a visit to my parents place I found an old basket I had been given a few years earlier. I had this great idea to plant herbs in it! So a trip to my local Garden/Nursery saw me come home with 5 new herbs. My balcony now houses, Coriander, Italian Parsley, Rosemary, Basil and Mint!

The wish of a winter garden...

Having very little space in my apartment and a very akward balcony, means i am unable to have a luscious garden of my own. I have been travelling to and from my parents place in Country Victoria for my Garden/Veggie fix! I started a Veggie patch back in October 2010 and it has given me a great excuse to escape the Big Smoke.


Beans, Beans they are good for your heart, the more you eat the more you...



These huge ladies have been spinning like crazy with all the wet weather, so so many of them!



Believe it or not this is actually a spinach plant, the plant whilst beautiful, actually doesn't taste all that wonderful as spinach!




My snow peas didn't last all that long as I planted them a bit too late in the season... But the ones I did get were oh so delicious!
My tomatoes on the other hand, have been growing like crazy!! I think everyone I know has recieved a "gift" of tomatoes this year!

I have big plans for a garden at home, so when my lease is up the next place MUST have a garden!
