Title: My salad bowl
Post by: Mrs Ava on May 10, 2004, 22:48:11

Not exactly a banquet, but all my own grown produce.  Radish, mixed italian lettuce leaves, parsley, basil, oregano and mint.  Made a delish salad which tasted wonderful, and there is enough left for lunch tomorrow!  Tis great this growing your own!!

Basil in the conservatory?  What type, please?
Growing mixed radish this year - finding the white ones too hot! = Tim

Yup, Basil from the conservatory, no idea which cariety though  :-\.  It is last years plants that have happily lived all winter in the conservatory and are still growing strong.  Something got to my baby basil seedlings before me a couple of weeks back and munched the lot, now I need to buy some more seeds and have another go  :o.  

Pulled a couple of leeks today for tonites dinner.  Not bad going for my first lottie year.

Most impressive-and following on on the theme of do what I say(not what I do-too dis-organised)next late Autumn sow some land cress and mache-then late winter some rocket inside-I know I will be having been reminded by your photo.

Looks great EJ, making me hungrey!

I had a salad last night with Jacket Spuds.  All stuff from the farm shop but I sat there eating it and thinking "soon this will be all home-grown (fingers crossed)".  I can't wait for my first taste  :P

I planted some Basil and Corriander 11 days ago, in pots on the window sill.  Just got in from work and I have my first shoots!  I just don't know if it's Basil or Corriander, I guess I'll have to wait until it gets a bit larger!  That'll teach me for thinking I could remember so no need to write on the pots!

Enjoy your feast  :)

btw - don't forget MINT in salads - as in so many other things. And, if you've got more than one patch of it, cut one down now to give succession. = Tim

Always do Tim, makes a nice refreshing bite and my mint needs regular pinching back otherwise it will take over!  :o
