Mother’s Day gifts from the garden

Mother’s Day again, and though winter is now only weeks away, the pressures from the garden remain unrelenting; there is much yet to be harvested and sorted.

But we walk the beach, eat brunch in the Botanic Gardens, take in a meal and a movie on Saturday evening, read some thrillers out loud and do some window shopping. A lovely weekend in all, but somehow I’ve not managed to do any Mother’s Day shopping.

As always, the garden comes to the rescue; sunflowers for the table and eggs, capsicums, spring onions, chillies and salad for the traditional Mother’s Day omelette.
