Garlic harvest



One bed of garlic (1.2m-4m) = one years worth of garlicy yum.

And enough for seed for next year.

Before plaiting I dry garlic for a few weeks. Then it graces my front veranda in beautiful plaits.

Chive flowers



We have been eating more flowers this year than chives. I pick a bunch for my kitchen windowsill and they make their way into salads, dressings, omlets, and warm new potatoes. Yum!!!


In the garden they grow with my strawberries and are frequently visited by smaller pollinators.
