I'm Julie, and I live with my husband and three young daughters in New South Wales suburbia, Australia. This is the online journal I kept until recently, of how we are trying to live more simply & sustainably in suburbia.

This blog is on indefinite hiatus but please feel free to look around my archives for some inspiration in your own journey to living more lightly and sustainably.

Chinese Broad Leaf Celery

A Photo A Day Challenge: Photo #68


These seeds originally came from the Veggie Gnome, (thanks Veg!) and are actually a variety of mustard leaf. These readily self-sowed around my garden last year and seedlings are now coming up everywhere with the onset of cooler night time temperatures. The stems do taste rather like celery, but the whole leaf is lovely chopped into stir fries.



I started this challenge on January 5 - it is my aim to harvest at least one thing from my garden every day this year - and photograph it. If I can manage to pick 360 different varieties, then so much the better! This is 68/360.


Cheers,

This is a fantastic photo Julie. You've managed to capture the texture and colour so clearly. The light falling on the leaves is beautiful. Great work.

Hello Anita,
Thank you! I'm such a newbie but I am having fun playing with my Christmas-present camera! Must do a course of some description so I can take decent photos of my kids as well, which is probably more important :-)

Cheers, Julie
