Garden and Tempo

Treattrackers met a lovely waitress at Tempo cafe at West End. Her name's Meg and she is so chirpy and friendly. Meg has a delightful Cockney accent. Of course, Mum had to ask her where she was from.

We liked our Tempo breakfast.

The treattracker team has another treat at Tempo cafe at West End. Breakfast with the girls. Mum treattracker liked her corn and zucchini fritters. Nice coffee too.

We visited our favourite plant seller, Alan Spears, at the Manly markets for a Sunday morning treat. Alan gives advice and doesn't charge for it.

David's happy with his purchases and I wanted the lavender to put near my clothes line out the back.

Here's a picture of how our herbs have done. This is the sage, coriander, and chives.

This is the rocket and the dill. We've had so many salads made with the rocket.

Some of the veggies are growing in containers on top of our hopelessly clay soil on top of our rocky hill. Two of them are earth boxes all the way from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Just as good are the styrofoam fruit boxes from our fruiterer. Look at the cherry tomatoes at the back and the silverbeet exploding. Our treat tonight is 'spinach' triangles made with the silverbeet.

David's having a go in the improved soil in this bed with these peas. May have some sheep manure from under his brother Andrew's shearing shed at Thane, near Warwick. We recently brought back a boot full wrapped in garbage bags. There's nothing like sheep poo!
