Most days I harvest mixed lettuce. I don't have a picture of the harvested lettuce, but this is where some of it is growing, along with new broccoli and a sunflower.
I harvested some sage the other day for my market-bought gnocchi. Shame on me for not making my own gnocchi. While the burnt butter sage sauce was divine, the gnocchi itself was woefully tasteless. So much for the pasta place at the markets, I think I'll have to go the hard yards and make my own again from now own.
I am off to Adelaide on Wednesday to celebrate Easter with my lovely parents, their two puppy dogs and two Aunts and an Uncle (which means I get to sleep in the study!!!.) This means I will leave special Housemate H to tend to the garden. If she is lucky she will get to harvest some of these while I am gone!

Have a great time, Prue, during Easter. The eggplant looks like it'd grow huge!
What a nice treat to have extra tomatoes. I find that cherries grown from saved hybrid seed really are hit and miss. Most are just wonderful, but occasionally you get some really strange ones.
Burnt butter and sage sauce with gnocchi sounds wonderful and yet another way to use sage. It grows so well and looks so beautiful here that I am always looking for ways to expand my recipe repitoire with it.
Mmmm... tomatoes.
Hmmm, google is being weird about showing photos so I can't see all of your harvest, but what I can see looks wonderful. Tomatoes are still a long way off. . . it's nice to get to ogle yours. I love burnt butter and sage also, it's oh so good with winter squash ravioli or stuffed squash blossoms also.
Enjoy your getaway!
