I went to Hammer Hardware this morning and bought some vegetable plants and other essentials for planting my vegetable garden that I'd weeded and dug over yesterday.
A couple of hours of mulching, planting, staking and watering put us back in the home garden business.
OK, it's not exactly worthy of the cover of Yates Garden Guide but it'll provide us with some fresh produce and, more importantly, make the back garden look a bit more presentable and demonstrate to potential buyers that things grow very well here.
I planted ...
- Tomatoes
- Capsicum
- Spring onion
- Broccoli
- Courgettes
... which are the reasonably pricey items in supermarkets and the ones that we most use in salads and stir-fries. We've still got loads of green and red chillies in the freezer from last year's crop.
That's another of my jobs ticked off.
Gosh! I nearly signed off without telling you what I'm cooking for dinner tonight. Last Saturday it was a cheese soufflé, today will be schnitzel with Hasselback potatoes and green vegetables. A sparkling shiraz will go well with this.

I'm a thinking kind of guy and I'd certainly give that dinner you have planned a spurt. The wine sounds nice too.

Gosh! You're pulling in the comments with this post!
Is dinner ready yet?
No word yet on what Rob is having.
Cello string soup?
Sort of like spaghetti but with a touch of rosin.
Richard (of RBB) you're a character!

Oh dear.
Whenever I get to Wellington it will be just in time..
Disgusting!
When we get settled in Wellington Robert will be on the 'invite list' to come around for dinner. I'll get the Food Curmudgeon to show him how to make a cheese soufflé.
That's familiar. Did you cook that when you lived in Christchurch in 1975?
Given that a character is a symbol representing a letter or number, then you might be correct if you were thinking of the hash key on a computer. I mean, he's used to making a hash of things.
Iwas in Christchurch in 1976. Just for the record.
I never listened to that one. Maybe it was melted into an ashtray.
Good choice of veges, though I've never had much success growing broccoli; it going to seed and caterpillars and all that!
