Now this is a weird post but I seriously had to share it anyway! I had a clove of garlic many months ago that started sprouting so I pushed it in to some dirt next to my chilli plant in a pot and watched it grow. Now you would think I wouldn't be so damn amazed that I GREW GARLIC but you see here's the kicker...........a few months ago, after forgetting to tend, water, love or do anything to said chilli plant (and hence the garlic) I wandered past the pot to sadly find that my unloved garlic had died. The top leaves came off in my hands. I threw that in the bin and didn't give the poor baby any more thought. My garlic growing career was over, or so I thought!
Yesterday Ryan watered the chilli (plus the dirt next to it of course!) with the dog bowl water. Today I walked out the front and lo and behold there was an entire garlic bulb sticking up out of the dirt! Comment from son "wow I thought I had uncovered some weird eggs but I didn't think to tell you".
So today we have an entire organic homegrown bulb of garlic and my garlic growing career has been resurrected!
"Our Home" currently houses DH Dave, DD Caitie (18), DS Ryan (13) and of course me (Jenny), plus 2 dogs (Coco and Molly) and the cat Bandit! We also have 3 other kiddlets who have assorted partners and at last count we had 5 grandkiddlets. The kitchen is the heart of our home where we all tend to congregate. Pity it isn't a little bit larger though!! This blog includes a bit about our life and the occasional favourite recipe for good measure as cooking is a bit of a passion of mine!
Hi Jenny,
ReplyDeleteA while back you left a comment on my blog about an organic food co-op you buy through - FIG. I'm just wondering if you have a contact number for whoever's in charge? I know of a couple of people who may be interested in your area. Thanks so much!
Great blog by the way!
Jo :)
