Salad for lunch

This is what I love about my garden, In 5 minutes I picked these peas, rocket, lettuce, mint and basil for my salad at lunch time.  Add one of the tomatoes ripening on the window sill and I'm in heaven.  The taste of the peas is wonderful, and we should have planted more of them - next year I will.

Now, my free lettuce is growing quite well.  All you do is CUT the lettuce once it is ready, after that you will continue to get leaves you can pick.

And the free tomatoes are looking OK, but no actual tomatoes yet.  I am not staking these, to see how they go over the side of the bed.  You must experiment if you are a gardener.

 

 

My latest plant is a native ginger, which seems to be settling in very well.  I will be interested in what the berries taste like.

 

 

 

 

But my very favourite plant in the garden is the Frangipani.  The fragrance is divine.
