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.

Rocket / Roquette / Arugula

A Photo A Day Challenge: Photo #61



It's a toss up between rocket and coriander as to which is my favourite herb. I love it in hot & cold salads and pesto, in particular.



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 61/360.


Cheers,

They are both on a par with basil for me.

They are my two favourites too. I loove both. I can hardly wait to get to my new house and start growing some beautiful herbs.

By the way, basil is right up there too!

I agree that rocket makes a wonderful pesto. Fresh coriander is a really love, can't get enough of OR an utterly loathe flavour. Sadly my taste buds are in the loathe camp.

Pleased to see your garden is treating you kindly.

Hi Angie,
Oh, how could I forget basil! The esence of summer :-)

Hi Kate,
Mmmm, yes basil is fabulous :-)

Hi Mickle,
Thank you, and yes, coriander is pretty galvanising :-)

Cheers,
Julie
