Freeze those Peas

I wanted to plant some peas so I added them to the list of seeds I bought online.

Then hubby went shopping and bought a packet of pea seeds (I know, you would think by now he would get that I like to buy organic or heirlooms seeds!)

anyway, so now I have heaps of peas to plant.

Tip 1: succession planting - I'll plant a few seeds each week.

Tip 2: buy a variety that is suitable for freezing, grow lots and freeze!

Happy garden planning and pea planting. :)

Are you growing tomatoes?

I've just heard about a fantastic book on growing tomatoes - the best, juiciest, tastiest tomatoes at that.

This book has been recommended by a friend of mine so I thought I should check it out.

See the link on this page for "How to Grow the Best Juicy Tasty Tomatoes".

Well worth adding to your collection.

Here is my vegetable garden tip for the day, what is yours?

My Vegetable Garden Tips for today is: Beetroot leaves!

Eat them, don't throw them out.

You can eat fresh beetroot raw (I like to grate it into my salad), make beetroot soup, roast them or pickle it.

You can also eat the leaves - so next time you add some fresh beetroot to a salad, add a few leaves as well.

Feel free to share your garden tip or ask a question.
