I have to admit I don't cook much these days: Y's father is back so is his good food! yoohoo! So, this time I don't have a recipe to share but I can share with you a story of Y and his mistresses. A few months ago, Y has started seeing his mistresses. First thing in the morning he goes out to visit them; first thing when he comes back from work he visits them...and sometimes in the weekend, he visits them once every 2 hours!!! You can see how much TLC (tender loving care) he has put in these beauties... So let me introduce to you the MISTRESSES...
Tomatoes. His favourite mistress, obviously... Not quite ready to eat yet, but seeing them grow in size makes Y very happy. 'Look, it has grown larger today!'
Potatoes. You can just see the green shoots of the potatoes. We tried digging the spuds out last month, but they were like so tiny to be eaten... So we will wait until September.
Spring onions. Still small but they proved very handy two days ago when Y's father forgot to buy spring onions for the lobster noodle...
Sage and rosemary. Still at their baby stages, takes forever to grow...
Basil. Their tender fragrant leaves are sooooo much better than the shop-bought basil plant!
Salad leaves. It was the quickest to grow among all plants we had... We just had 3 little pots, so there was never enough to make a salad...well but as garnish they do their job properly. Sadly they have flowered and look pretty dull now. This is a picture taken when they were first picked...
