My edible garden
Thursday, October 12th, 2006Seeing as spring is here and I can’t eat anything fun at the moment, I thought I’d take you for a bit of a tour in my garden.
My ANZAC peach tree. She is having a little bout of peach leaf curl right now and isn’t looking her best. But she’s already got about a dozen peach buds on her that won’t be lasting long once they ripen.
This is the first strawberry of the season!
I bought this bay tree as a tiny seedling last year. It’s still no giant, but is growing strong. I love putting fresh bay leaves in bolognese, or any hearty sauce.
Most of my herbs grow in a half wine barrel by the kitchen door. I haven’t managed to get any new herbs in the soil yet this spring, but the rosemary, sage and dill from last year is still going strong.
Kalamata olives! Well, no olives yet, but one day maybe.
My lemon tree is almost as old as the house. This grand old dame just keeps pumping out these beautiful golden gems month after month.
This is the first ever blossom on my pink lady apple tree. I can’t wait until she grows up and starts producing some gorgeous apples.
