My garden!

My Garden!

Recently I was lucky enough to acquire a raised garden bed.  It is filled with worms, and compost and fertilizer and delicious soil.
I am so excited about the prospect of it all over the coming months, so I can cook delicious fresh meals with its fruits of labour.
In it I have tomato and carrot seeds coming up, asparagus, eggplant, capsicum, thyme, parsley, lettuce, beetroot, basil, established tomatoes and marigolds (for colour and companion planting).  In pots just next to it I also have trow types of chilli, and onion and potato and soon will have garlic anf ginger.
I love growing things, and I especially like growing food I know I always use in cooking and will be fresh and tasty and so satisfying.  Nothing compares with being able to go into your garden and pick something right off the vine or bush, or yanking it from the ground ceremoniously.  I will try and get some cosmos this weekend to attract some lady bugs into my garden so I can keep the nasties at bay. 
A good deal of my chillies also need something doing with them.  So I plan on harvesting a little basil, and lots of chillies and making flavoured olive oil. 
Pics to come!
