Instant hedge


26/8/10

I wish I could remember to take before and after shots-yesterday I transformed a blob of sea-side daisies into a hedge and I am v. happy with the result. I planted hydrangeas grown from cuttings on one side and begonias grown from seed on the other.

Tonight we had chicken seasoned with chilli, kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass and coriander all from our garden.

Post-holiday




24/8/10
Since my last post I have passed two Bar exams and failed one. We also went on a driving holiday to Adelaide. The Hay Plain was green and studded with ponds-an unusual sight.

I have neglected the garden due to studying and travelling, however on Sunday night we harvested some broccoli and cavalo nero, which I cooked and tossed in a little olive oil and lemon juice. Here are some photos.
