It has been a fruitful Friday, reporting pot plants, rosemary, geranium and chocolate mints. Weeding and fixing the vegetable patch, it is all about tidying up the garden today. The weather is good for it.
Salad for a hot day is always welcome. No cooking, the preparation is easy too. A treat for a good hard working day is a Cold Platter. It is an assembled food from lettuces, avocado, potato, prawns and chicken. Mayonnaise and vinaigrette are dressing.
