Supermarket in the backyard

We’re out of broccoli. There’s no time to go to the supermarket, so it’s out to the back garden to see if there’s some broccolini – there is! – and to pick some parsley and spinach. Broccolini isn’t as ‘dense’ as broccoli, growing on long separate stalks. You can pick some and more will grow. At this time of year, when the garden looks a bit scruffy, it’s good to have some success. The spinach and broccolini turn a bright green in the pot.

It wasn’t on my list to go to the garden centre but, somehow, there I was. I particularly liked this display. I bought some flower and vegetable plants.

Here’s Felix inspecting the plants.

I had to go to the hardware store for an obelisk which is high enough. It was 20% off because the tip is bent, and was a wee challenge to fit into the car.

Dinner was based on home grown garden produce. The ironing might get done tomorrow.
