I made a delicious salad - the majority of the ingredients were from our vegie garden!! This was very exciting for me!!!!
Basically, I tossed together lettuce, baby spinach and a mixture of herbs with some roasted beetroot (I put the beetroot into a parcel of aluminium foil with some herbs and a splash of water, and roasted until softened, then splashed the chopped cooked beetroot with a little raspberry vinegar), and some fetta cheese. I mixed up a quick dressing using olive oil, raspberry vinegar, and some honey mustard, which I drizzled over the leaves.
It was great to be able to make use of some home-grown vegies!!!! Although it makes for quite n expensive salad, if you take into account the cost of setting up the garden in the first place - handyman, dirt delivery etc, but of course, the garden will be around for a long time!!! And hopefully will provide us with more than one salad :-)
Actually, a week later, I made another salad from the garden - this time a Green Garden Salad - I made up a pesto using macadamias, garlic, parmesan and basil & parsley, which I added a tablespoon of to the usual salad dressing ingredients of olive oil and vinegar. I tossed this dressing over lettuce leaves and baby spinach from the garden to create a very tasty and simple salad. Seem to have forgotten to make it smile for the camera before it was eaten however!!
By using the garden design software, you can see how your garden will look in the different seasons and over a period of years. You can place the plants at different positions and choose the best look. The positioning of other items in the garden like the chairs, gazebos, statues, etc can be determined with this software. You can even try different colors combinations and choose the best one for your garden. If you already have a garden at home, you can see how to modify it to make it more beautiful and welcoming.
