Notes From The Garden
Unfortunately we have run out of Lettuce, the culmination of a new baby, taking on outside work to bring in more income and travelling away for a wedding has set us back significantly in the last few months. Lettuce will be back in 4 weeks or so. Other than that we now have an abundance of Cherry Tomatoes, Green Beans and Zucchini with Cucumbers not far behind, Celery is looking great, Kale is still growing and Rainbow Chard is plentiful.
This week the Garden is providing Cherry Tomatoes, Green Beans, Zucchini’s, Eggs, Rainbow Chard, Spinach, Bok Choi, Red Russian Kale, Carrots, Celery and Coriander.
Crops currently growing but not ready are Butterhead Lettuce, Garlic, Beetroots, Capsicums, Cucumbers, Corn, Parsley and Basil.
Some of our products may be a little different to what customers are used to so we will be providing Product Profiles in our Weekly Post and in a dedicated page on our website. This will provide recipe ideas and nutritional information for all of the vegetables and products we offer.

Rainbow Chard can be best described as salty spinach crossed with celery. It is best served lightly cooked and is generally prepared by cutting the leaves off the stem, then slicing the stem up like celery and the leaves like spinach.

- Soups
- Stews
