Should you be activating your foods?

A little bit about grains, nuts and seeds
Grains, nuts and seeds…

Inspiring families to grow at least one fresh food item at home to experience the benefits of fresh food.

The rocket (arugula) is starting to take off. Make sure you are picking the large leaves from around the base of the plant because they tend to be bitter when large. This also means you will encourage the growth of new little peppery leaves and a bushy plant instead of one the shoots up and to seed

Lettuce will grow all year round in most areas of Australia. Re-plant seeds every 4-6 weeks to maintain a constant supply.

This picture sums up what growing our own fresh food means to me. This celery was picked to provide a depth of flavour for my pork ragu pasta I'm making for dinner. I can collect the ingredients I most commonly use in meals, the amount I need, exactly at the time I need it (without leaving home). It is fresh, at its nutritional peak and free from any chemical residue - oh and it tastes amazing #growfresh

Just in case you were wondering about my soil pots....I have re-tried them again using two different soil recipes and they seem to be doing the job. Time will tell if/when they germinate which of the two recipes is better. The soil the first time was perfect I think, I had not added enough water to the mix so thanks to those who sent me through tips and links. Hopefully in a few weeks there will be gorgeous new seedlings growing strongly 💚🌱

I spied this in some long grass near the fence yesterday! 2 raspberries ripe for picking. So I did and they are gone. I was so surprised to see them I accidentally broke the branch they were on. Time to tidy that area of the garden

The bees are enjoying the Rosemary flowers at the moment in my kitchen garden. Do you hear the lovely buzz of bees in your garden at the moment? Both lavender and Rosemary make a beautiful flowering hedge during winter to attract the bees.

Spring is on the way, the violas are starting to pop up, self seeded from last year

Can you see that new growth? That makes me super excited because before I laid the @majors_mulch pea straw pellets snails had almost completely decimated a row of my kale. Now the mulch is repelling them and the plants are re-growing 🌱💃#happydance

It's all about the seeds here at the moment. These are the spring companion flowers. Sunflowers and alyssum are in shot

I got a new toy but it seems you need a license to drive it. Attempt one not quite what I envisaged...🤦‍♀️
