Faith's salad box. Lots of kinds of salad in a small greenhouse type box so that they can get sun all the time but which can be shut to keep out the slugs! yuk. Great idea!
SPEARMINT TEA: This is spearmint which we pushed (with all the grace I just described...) into the ground last year without a second thought and this year it's about a foot high and it smell is amazing! We used it, snipped up, on new potatoes with a little olive oil for Sunday tea. I like spearmint for adding to foods as I find mint has a very strong flavour.It makes great tea too. Just take a stalk or a small handful of leaves, wash them with cold water and hang the stalk up or let the leaves dry in an aerated container until crisp ( I use a plastic fruit container with the draining holes in the bottom). When you're ready to make tea, add a generous pinch or a few leaves to 1/2 a litre of hot water and let stew for about 4-5 minutes. Delicious!
