Garden and Home Journal 2020: Sunday: Week 10 #lockdown A beautiful warm in the sun, chilly in the shade day. James and I had a good morning walk before 9am curfew. What do we do tomorrow? When are we going for our daily walk, morning or afternoon? I must say the mornings are perfect except when a freezing coldfront blows through. Gym and yoga are my regular morning workouts...it leaves the rest of the day for other things Carrying on with the herbs theme for my self imposed daily garden and home photo during #lockdownsa #lockdownsouthafrica Origano. It spreads like crazy in the garden. I use it in all beef dishes and pasta sauce. Finely chopped, with sweet marjoram, parsley and thyme in homemade hamburgers is 👌 #myhomeandgarden #herbs #origanoGarden and Home Journal 2020 : Sat: week 10 #lockdown Italian parsley. A few leaves popped into a vase in the kitchen comes in handy for a light garnish on veggies, potatoes, salad etc #lockdownsa #lockdownsouthafrica #myhomeandgarden #herbs #parsley #italianparsleyGarden and Home Journal 2020 : Friday: week 10 #lockdown Sweet Margoram ... a delicate herb belonging to the mint family and a sub-species of origano. It has a sweeter flavour than origano "more floral and slightly spiced" It doesn't spread like mint and origano (not in my garden anyway) I use it sparingly, for that reason, in soups and meat dishes although it's recommended as an addition to salad dressings, marinades and sauces...and I recently learnt it should be added at end of cooking. I'll try it next time #lockdownsa #lockdownsouthafrica #myhomeandgarden #herbs #margoram #sweetmarjoramGarden and Home Journal 2020 : Thursday. Last day of week 9 #lockdown. Moving into week 10 when we see some welcome changes. Alcohol sales Mon - Thurs! Note ..that's the first change I mention. Most important for sanity. Exercise: as winter settles in we will be able to exercise outdoors at anytime until 6pm I think. Breaking curfew time is irrelevant for us as we wouldn't go walking before 6am and after 5pm in winter. We're retirees after all. Yoga practice with real people would be great. Not that I could do inverted asanas until my eye heals. Today's piccie : Sharifa rose unfurling it's delicate petals and heavenly perfume #lockdownsa #lockdownsouthafrica #myhomeandgarden #sharifa #rose #daddysrose #pinkroses #delicateArchives
