Summer for one week only only and this weekend I have been making the most of the fresh produce in my garden. I only have a really small 'crib' in which I grow salad leaves, rocket, lambs lettuce, parsley, carrots and beetroot, but it's so nice to pick fresh foods and know there's no crap been sprayed on it. In planters scattered around my door, there is more parsley, chives, thyme, basil and rosemary.For a simple lunch that won't make you tired toast some rye bread (in packets of about 6 not the fresh one), drizzle 'good' oil on it and pile up with avocado, tomato, salad leaves and herbs. Rye bread is high in fiber and low in fat and very tasty.
By the way, I'm no green fingered genius, all the herbs were planted on from supermarket bought ones and the seeds sown in my crib tool all of 20 minutes to do. Give it a go, eating your own food gives a lovely smug feeling!
