I returned home from Christmas with the family well-fed and happy with a few gardening items in my swag of gifts. Santa (still believe, get more presents that way) gave me The Edible Balcony by Indira Naidoo and from my sister I received some microgreens which according to the box are a 'great gift of nature'.
My lovely Dad gave me some tomato seedlings upon request - a variety of red, black and yellow and these are now enjoying hanging out on the very crowded balcony.
But the most exciting moment was when I inquisitively pulled up a carrot to see if anything was going on under the soil, and this knobbly little stumpy thing appeared. While it looked like a baby's finger, it tasted sweet and fresh - not at all how I imagine a baby's finger would taste. And with that very wrong thought, I shall leave you all to have a Happy New Year.
