Growing our own ‘erbs…
It’s finally spring! One thing I’ve really missed since moving to London is a garden. I love growing stuff, getting my hands dirty, and harvesting the fruit of my labours. I grew up on a farm, and now that I’m living in a city, I miss that close connection to the land. I’m a Christian agrarian at heart.
There’s no greater lunch than some crusty sourdough bread with butter, and a nice salad made with just-picked cherry tomatoes, still warm from the sun! I miss mum’s herb-garden, where I could pick rosemary when making focaccia, or fragrant thyme for a bouquet garni. Or parsley, sage, chives, lemon thyme (great in steamed fish parcels), borage, fennel, mint - I’d find food a bit boring without herbs!
So, being a nice warm sunny day, yesterday my lovely wife M and I went to Homebase and bought some herbs, a planter, and some potting mix. Visiting a garden center made us miss NZ…
The thyme was already in flower, so I need to give it a good trim (shame really) but I’ll wait a week to give it a chance to settle in first. We’ve also got some rosemary, some parsley, and I’ve sown chives and basil.
M remarked we were becoming quite domestic… :o)
Their bright greens cheer the kitchen up too!
