The farm is looking great and we have a good range of vegetables available, there may even be some bags of Spinach available for a lucky few. This will be our first Spinach for the year and we are thrilled to have one of our premiere crops back in rotation. We also have Carrots, Beetroots, Salad Mix, Rocket, Spring Onions, Basil, Zucchinis, Cherry Tomatoes, Heirloom Tomatoes, Celery, Garlic and some Capsicums.

Notes From The Garden
At Rainbow OMG we recognise the centuries long tradition of Moon Planting. In short the different phases of the Moon correspond to growth in in different parts of plants with about 7 days for each phase. The order is Leaf, Fruit/Flower, Root and Stop. We find this cycle an excellent tool for planning and scheduling of all the regular tasks needed for a functional farm.
We are still in a Stop Week so have been tidying up the farm, house and yard, done a lot of computer work, including ordering our Seed Garlic for the year. We are going to plant double the amount of Garlic as last year as we are selling through last years harvest quite quickly.
Product Focus – Organic Basil
| 70g of freshly harvested Basil. We are very excited to offer Basil to our customers, it is one of our favourite herbs and it packs quite a punch when it comes to nutrition and health benefits including: Anti-Inflammatory Antioxidants Vitamins K, A and C Manganese Anti-Microbial including bacteria and viruses Adaptogen for stress relief Anti-Depressant Promotes Heart Health Supports Liver Health and detoxification Balances body pH to assist in digestion Natural Aphrodisiac Assists in controlling blood sugar levels Here are some ideas to get more Basil into your diet: Add chopped leaves to any and all pasta dishes Use whole fresh leaves as a pizza topping Make a salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cheese Can be added to asian cooking as a substitute for Thai Basil Make frozen pesto bricks for year round basil. We make pesto in bulk and freeze in silicon muffin trays. We then bag up the individual portions and add them to meals as needed when cooking over Winter. |
