This has been such a busy time with our SE Harvest Festival that I thought I might miss the Recipe post …. but I kept thinking about it, and this is what I came up with. A recipe for a healthy life! This is how we make lunch, and usually breakfast and dinner as well. We go out into the garden and see what there is to eat … so come with me on a little trip …you would get bored if I showed you everything out there.
closest to the door is the mesclun lettuce and rocket
and two kinds of basil
delicious coriander
and a great trough of watercress
with chillies snuggling up against it
a row of carrots,
big juicy beetroot
and broccolini is further down the path
in the lower wicking bed there are capsicum,
lettuce
fine mustard greens
and spring onions
snake beans on a trellis
by the lemon tree
fresh red onion, garlic and avocado (bought)
help to complete our salad, dressed with lemon and olive oil,
which we ate today with fresh wholemeal seed bread, and a little butter and cheese.
Healthy fresh-grown food creates healthy bodies and minds,
so stimulate your creativity and go fresh! That is our recipe for a healthy life.

Great Entry my friend without ingredients there is no recipe ,Thanks for sharing 🙂
thank you jake for the chance to do this post in your challenge!
oh so yummy. I think I can smell the green. lovely salad. looking forward to gardening greens!
and, Here’s to your health!
we sound like kindred spirits in the fresh greens department 🙂
I like your words “so stimulate your creativity and go fresh” – true to my heart. And your photos have reminded me that I must give watercress I try out in the garden, I just nee dto find the right sized barrel
good luck with your barrel …we used two halves of a sand pit/waterplay shell … something abandoned and reused … one pond with watercress collects water as it overflows from a wicking bed, then it dribbles into the next pond where the water chestnuts are growing, and if that overflows the garden gets the extra water … have not yet harvested the water chestnuts 😀
I love re-use the best. Your set up sounds very ingenius. My other idea was to use our pond as that has a water pump…. But it’s back on my radar again!
Yummy! The best way to eat – fresh from your garden.
so true colline, and so good for you, low kilometre food indeed 🙂
