basil

I love the smell of fresh basil and it's even better when it's home grown. This is a bunch I picked earlier

I threw it in the Thermomix with a handful of organic cashews, garlic, Himalayan salt and some locally produced olive oil and voila.....

Chunky Basil and Cashew pesto. This little dish of yumminess was the perfect condiment for my dinner

Crispy skinned Tasmanian salmon fillet with native lemon pepper seasoning, cucumber, home grown lettuce and chard, and a cherry tomato sauce that I made the other day. And of course a couple of dollops of my fresh pesto......It was delish

veggie patch

I have a little vegie garden, actually it's more of a veranda/container garden. Here's some of what I'm growing.

Micro Greens, Lettuce, Wheat Grass and Aristotle Basil

Celery, Basil, Perennial Coriander and Mizuna.

I also have lots of other things growing that I'll share with you soon. My little garden is grown organically and I love the idea of growing as much as I can so I know what's going into my food. At the moment it's mainly herbs and salad greens.

The picture of the micro greens (above) was taken a couple of weeks ago. I've been harvesting them and here's what they look like on the table.

Basil, Rocket, Purple Cabbage and Kale.

It was so worth the effort as they are super tasty! Yes I'll be growing more of these......
