Friday 17th February, 2012 Lily of the Nile Hi Its Zucchini time again in our house and I just can't believe how many we collect every day, there are enough to eat every day, give away and with what's left Harry cooks down with tomatoes, bacon and basil and bottles them. Now a neighbour gave us some tomato puree the other day which they had made, which was pretty dam fine. I thought that I would try making it too as I love having tomato puree or preserves for cooking with and toms won't be as cheap again as at this time of year. Thats if you haven't managed to grow all your own..... It is just so usefull for all cooking of all styles. The basic recipe was Tomato Puree Tomatoes , Sugar, Salt, Pepper, Balsamic Vinegar, Basil leaves.
Agapanthus commonly called the lily of the Nile is one of those plants that most people have quite a determined opinion about and they either like or most definitely dislike. I have to say that there is always a place for a plant and good ole Aggies certainly suit some positions and especially where its hot and dry. I mean what else is going to grow well in traffic island !!! Now the big old versions do tend to be a tad promiscuous but dead heading before the flowerheads dry will help prevents them from seeding and making babies. ( A plant is only a weed if its in a spot that its not wanted!! )
The Project We are on a roll with our project and there is now new weed cloth down and irrigation back in so that empty space down the hill is looking quite stunning. Its chock full of plants again boasting an awesome range of hedging of all types from some new seasons Camellias to Corokias to various Buxus Euonymus and more.
