Wicking Bed 3 [Herbs] | Re-Use Box + Chairs + pipes + carpet + Wheat + pea gravel | Home DIY

I was given some seedlings from the Inspire Collective Meet up. And the herbs given were eager to be planted out. Here is the making of the wicking bed 3 for the herbs

Below shows how well the wicking bed been going on day 117.

Do not plant the mint in the soil/ground directly! It took over my whole bed and I had to put it in a pot in the bed.

Broccoli Grown From Seed Netted | Home Grown

After my other broccoli was attacked by the broccoli and white moths, I decided to plant my next batch of broccoli seedlings I had grown from seed in a netted environment.

I tried to use aĀ finer net which doesn’t exist in Bunnings or Masters. Sooo.. I had to come up with another solution.

Seems like the white shade cloth is great for it! The end result speaks for itself;)

Here are the dishes I cooked with it

Using Broccoli Grown From Seed Netted | Butter Garlic with home grown broccoli from seed and Store Bought Re-Grown Cabbage | Home Grown

We had a friend and her son over for dinner. So I decided to make a salad..

Considering we didn’t have any lettuce and have eaten all our home-grown tomatoes I decided to cook up our home-grown broccoli grown from seed and cabbage.

The kid said the broccoli was delicious and ate it up šŸ˜€

Enjoy,

I love to eat broccoli as plain as possible.

So I would boil the broccoli in a pot of salted water with some oil to prevent theĀ nutrients from seeping out.

Added to the rest of the meal it was a very satisfying gluten-free dinner šŸ™‚
