I realised that I'm only putting in pictures of what I'm growing, and not what I'm harvesting. Here's tonight's stir fry ingredients (except the strawberries!) That's kale, rhubarb chard, spinach, perpetual spinach, komatsuna, and spring onions.
I've adapted a stir fry recipe from the Guardian to suit us. My variation serves 2:
- 3-4 free range eggs
- 2-3 spring onions
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp diced ginger
- 2 tbsp sesame oil (or veg oil)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- Chopped greens to suit (150g shown in picture)
- 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
- Mix eggs, spring onions, onion, soy sauce, ginger in a bowl and stir with a fork.
- Heat oil in wok until oil shimmers.
- Toss in sesame seeds, cook until they start popping.
- Add egg mix and stir with a spatula until egg holds together.
- Toss in greens and cook lightly (colour will change and deepen).
- Add rice and mix thoroughly.

I got my allotment in March this year, and before that I grew everything in containers in my garden. It's amazing what will actually grow in containers, for instance, I planted runner beans in three seperate containers, placed a cane in each of the containers and tied these together to produce a wigwam. I also grew sweetcorn in containers, which was a bit of an experiment. I really didn't expect them to do well in containers, but they surprised me.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what will grow in containers! I'm being a bit bold by packing a few plants into single larger containers. I've got three or four runner beans in a single large pot, so we'll see what happens.
