Gardening 101

Our mini garden back in May - spinach, chard and rocket

You don't need to have any health issues to appreciate fresh veggies. If you don't live in a tropical climate or down under, late September may not seem like the ideal time to get started; and granted, unless you have a greenhouse, your options will be limited. Still, you can always get started on a herb garden as herbs can be grown indoors all year round. Pick up some seeds from your local supermarket or garden center and plant away! We started a little balcony garden earlier this summer and succeeded in growing spinach, swiss chard, rocket salad, rosemary, thyme, basil and serrano chili peppers! While the rocket has long been harvested the chard is still going strong, and the herbs will continue to add dimension to our dishes all throughout fall and winter.

it doesn't get any fresher than this...
