In the Kitchen garden and the lounge garden

First the Kitchen garden 

A wall of NZ spinach!

Kale - Scottish Borecole, some rocket and a lot of weeds

Broccoli - Calabrese(not the best specimens I've grown)

Only the very early greens in here some parsley and the leftovers from summer - broccoli, kale(its always one the hardiest and keeps shooting back - this variety's Borecole or Scottish kale) and a wall of NZ spinach - the amazing perennial - an Australian native (despite the name - although its also called Warrigal greens) more grown commercially in France than in Australia - hmmm! The grasses are getting away but we'll get onto them soon.

In the Lounge garden (it's outside the loungeroom window...duh!)

Alexanders

 

bunching onions and corn salad

In winter there's some ruby chard (and soon to be some peas) and a bed of bunching onions and some self-sown corn salad or maiche or mache (depending on where you come from) - its a very good early spring green. Its better grown in rows but this is the slack method - later we'll transplant some in rows to make room for more crops, but for now it's OK where it is.

There's also some alexanders an early forerunner to celery. We eat the tops when we don't have much else - useful in winter for a bit of greenery as a change. Young shoots are tastier.
