Since I'm doing this crazy food thing I thought I'd share a quick update for anyone interested.
It has been easier and harder than I thought: easier in that I have never been short of food, i've found buying from farmers markets a lot of fun and planning my meals more is very little hassle.
On the other hand I'm not sure where I stand with being offered pre prepared food at work because I really want to know where it's from, and have come up against unusual adversaries like cats (who keep pooing on my plants).
But I still feel very excited about it all! Which is definitely a good thing. And above is a picture of my new baby basil plants (growing things is a sure fire way of knowing where they are from)
Have a great week and play outside kids :)
My basil looks like that also! But give it a few weeks and I'm pretty sure something, other than me, will be eating it. Not slugs and snails hopefully as I have put copper tape round the pot, but horrible little flies and other wee beasties. I have to say it doesn't make it look very appetising however organic it is!
ReplyDeleteSo my basil, which DID look like yours, has now disappeared! I know not where!
ReplyDeleteThe copper tape doesnt work then? What a shame!
