NEVER EVER in my life I had a single impulse of growing food.
UNTIL the day we moved to the Australian Outback.
It started with the fact not even viagra would make the bunch of parsley stay up. It was old, refrigerated - de -refrigerated etc.
The house we moved in had 2 ready made "planting areas"
One covered :
And one uncovered

it was too much of a temptation.
My wife and I got into the "lets try it" mood.
We first found an excellent, reliable seeds shop. Our choice was GreenHarvest, because we lived on he Sunshine Coast and the website was very easy to use . I make no money from them and I'm very happy to be just a well served customer. ( http://www.greenharvest.com.au/ )
We bought :
- Coriander
- Parsley
- Bok Choy
- Thai Basil
- and others AH ! almost forgot, as an old Astrologer I also bought a planting with the Moon guide, which I followed on my growing stuff venture.
Of course the 40ยบ C temperature outside is not really inviting to work on the garden so w used the mornings an late afternoons to prepare the ground and seed it.
We decides to create another planting area with more shade (it gets the morning Sun up to 10:30 AM) and place the Thai Basil and Parsley there>
This is the Coriander and Bok Choy after 2 weeks:
And here is the Thai Basil and Parsley after 2 weeks
The "wet season" here in Tennant Creek, NT, Australia has just started a week ago, and everything has doubled the size on these pictures.
We had a pick on Coriander to cook "Bolinhos de Bacalhau" (Cod Fish Fritters)
and a Fresh Bok Choy SALAD.
What a pleasure to have fresh organically grown products from your own backyard!
More recipes, coming soon, including "Bolinhos de Bacalhau"!
Cheers
