Enjoying Tatsoy

Now that the weather is warmer the Tatsoy has grown like mad, faster than critters can eat it.
Reading back in an earlier post where I was not sure if I separated the tatsoy out enough, it seems to be quite happy fairly packed.

We enjoyed a tatsoy salad with a dressing of
Olive 0il
Sesame oil
Garlic
Soy sauce (tamari)
and macadamias - yum!

Now the first of the tatsoys have flowered, they are bolting quickly, time to eat them up. Note to self: next time plant in stages.

Broccoli is looking much better but no heads forming yet.
Broadbeans and Snow Peas growing up but no flowers.
Coriander happy and also shooting up.

Have planted some basil seedlings (from Thursday Markets) in a large pot with some chives, they are happy with the CMC in that pot.

Tonight will try fresh peppermint tea for the first time.

Seedlings

I had to give up on some seeds :-( so bought some seedlings - non-organic :-(

On Wednesday I planted:

Broccoli: Broccolette (at the back) and Green Dragon (at the front).
Today we have returned from a weekend away and one of the broccolette plants is all eaten, the others are fine.

Coriander

Tatsoi - but I don't think I've separated it out enough.

A few of the original broccoli seedlings have survived and leaves are growing, but still only the two leaves on a long spindly stem. I left them in to see what they do.

The Broadbeans are very happy and about 25cm tall now, the snowpeas are all starting to open up those first few leaves.

We have been having constant rain and it looks like it will continue that way for a few more weeks.
