Finally, the time has come and the harvest is on. A first crop has been cut and a delicious salad prepared and it really was delicious.
The EasyBed has produced a stunning crop. When we began this process we had no idea how quickly and how well the lettuces and rocket would spring up.
Considering how late in the year we planted our seeds, we had plenty of warnings that we may get very little joy from our efforts. In fact, the extra warmth generated by raised bed growing not only allowed us a healthy crop, but it has also grown at an extraordinary rate.
According to the packets, there was a chance that we would only have begun to see the first green shoots a week ago and here we are with rocket bigger than you would ever see from the supermarket.
And the taste was wonderful. You really cannot beat freshly picked fruit and vegetable and, with an EverEdge EasyBed, anyone can grow fruit and veggies on the smallest of plots of land.
At the office, we will be looking forward to a great supply of lettuce and salads over the next couple of weeks.
When you consider the cost of food at the moment, the ability to grow your own suddenly becomes more and more appealing. When you tie in the flavour and the knowledge of where your food is coming from, it almost becomes a no-brainer.
Recipe :
Today we had tomatoes, eggs and new potatoes from the next door estate mixed in with a mass of our office grown rocket and mixed leaf lettuce and coated in an olive oil and balsamic dressing. Perfect.
