Always nice to see innovative ideas around gardening.




So you have a ton of fresh herbs, and you're not sure what to do with them.....How about making frozen Olive Oil/Herb cubes?

this is a great idea, would never have thought of this, and usually pull them out as weeds.

A great companion plant for brassicas (broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and kale) is Nasturtium. Plant orange ones in the garden amongst your brassica plants and pull out yellow flowering Nasturtium then replant these outside your edible garden well away from your brassicas to attract sucking insects like Whitefly to the yellow colour which will keep them out of your veggie bed!
