Today I took a look down the beanstalk tower and noted the presence of sprouts. The beans are looking good, which is a little unexpected as I was dubious about the possibility of their success in tubs. I am now salivating at the prospects of some pucker tucker from the garden more and more every day.
I am happy to report that the snow peas are now doing very well indeed. After carefully training them over the last few weeks to climb the tower I made from three stakes and a roll of cable ties the peas are growing of their own accord. Three of the plants are even in flower, so I am hopeful of a small harvest soon. I love snow peas and add them to most dishes I cook.
Whilst speaking of cooking, it is looking increasingly likely that the vegetables required for my stir fry or laksa likely will be sourced from my own cultivation efforts. I have spinach going well, pak choy going ok (it could be better and soon will be), the snow peas, the chiili (including the firebrand Ebony Fire), and of course the Yolo Wonder capsicum. At a push I could even use runner beans and roly poly carrots. It will be a proud day indeed when I do cook a stir fry with my own grown vegetables.
