Lockdown Gardening Blog!

Hi there! 

I thought today I would share with you how my family garden is going and show you some photos too.

In our garden we have:

• Lettuce varieties
• Cauliflower
• Chilli 
• Snow peas
• Basil
• Oregano
• Parsley
• Mint
• Sweet corn
• Sunflower
• Baby spinach
• Bean varieties
• Silverbeet

We have also planted some zucchini and tomato seeds but we are still waiting for them to start growing. 

Something I have noticed is that our so-called 'baby' spinach is actually quite big, not miniature like it normally is from the supermarket. Another thing I have noticed is that our basil plant seems to be not growing very much, in fact I think it's actually shrunk a little bit which is a bit daunting. 

It turns out I have eaten the chilli! My sister made a curry and she put it in! She said she only put a little bit in, I noticed it tasted spicier than usual. I'm still building courage to try it by itself (with a nice cold glass of milk!). I'll let you know my experience if I do!

Here are some photos of the garden:
