My very first and very tiny harvest.
The first taste…
After just over a week’s worth of effort I have tasted the first fruit of my labour! Well ok, basil is not a fruit but you get the point. And I only managed to scavenge a few leaves for the garnishing of my supper but it’s definitely something. The recipe for chorizo, prawn and courgette pasta (with super special basil garnish) can be found here in the Ele’s Recipes section and I have to say, it was pretty delicious.
No news on the flea beetle front, it has been raining relentlessly here so I have been unable to continue my mini-beast hunt. I am thinking of expanding my patch already, maybe some more pots containing courgettes and strawberries. Also I am thinking of planting in some found containers. There’s an old wine crate I have my eye on… That’s all for now, Ele
