lovely breakfast

bagel

A toasted onion and poppy seed bagel topped with hummus, chervil, rocket and tomato; a perfect mix of freshness and solidity for a cold morning :D

A month or so ago I pulled out all the shot rocket and chervil from one of the raised beds, leaving behind only the cut and come again lettuces from the salad mix, or so I thought. The whole patch is now covered in a lawn of young plants. Beautiful.

Will be interesting to see how long it survives…  self seeded parsley always goes all winter. These are in quite a sheltered spot so I have hopes for my liquoricey little friends. Love over wintering :D

They fly over the garden every evening just now, about forty of them. By the time I’ve grabbed my camera they are always nearly gone though…

summer revisted

Wow the weather, tis sublime :D

This was a frugal tweet but is worth rehashing here – stuff does grow over winter albeit slowly: Planted over wintering onions in among the kale yesterday. Winter lettuce today.

Vegan Mofo goes on through October – The Modern Housewife Series Vol 1 will be joining in :)

Weather dictates evening beach visits take place:
