Small herb plot yields antiageing greens

Hi R and other lovers of leafy greens

Today was a beautiful day in Mosman following serious serial rain - Spring / Autumn to me are the ultimate seasons where the humidity is low, the breeze can be cool but the sun on one's back as you view the clear horizon, is divine.  But we are missing out on this; and soon it will be hot and humid. You have the opposite as I see some white precipitation in your photos.

As you know I am passionate about leafy greens and herbs, so today G and I sowed some seeds - flat leafed parsley, known for it's excellent flavour, spinach (perpetual leaf, easy to grow with continuous cropping - according to the packet), some shallots for salads which harvest in 8-12 weeks, to join the existing rocket which can be sown all year round - love the peppery flavour added to roasted veges, and wilted rocket is divine. Our basil crop is doing well - this part of the land has a few hazards re survival of the species - insects, possums (protected).

It was  a good day, as G & I worked our little plot which doesn't have quite enough sun and even though the yield isn't huge, I adore being able to pick a few leafy greens, knowing that they are such a powerhouse re antiageing qualities.
