Your garlic looks lovely Chookie. I try to always have confit garlic on hand. I must make some more while the good garlic is available.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Thanks CC and Cookie.  Will make some confit today. 
Yesterday I spent the afternoon in the garden with the chooks helping. Today very cold at the moment but as soon as it warms up a bit will do some more cleaning up and planting.
I collected the green seeds from the coriander bushes and made an infusion of oil with coriander , garlic and a little Chilli. Will drizzle a little on soup and steamed veggies. This took 5 minutes of grinding in the TMX.   The nice thing about this is that it tastes of the green leaves and not the dried coriander.  Today I am going to try the same with the green fennel seeds. Could be nice with steamed fish.

Chookie,my garlic crop was nowhere as good as yours.
We went away for a week, and look what happened to my zucchini!

Wow ES, that is a terrific crop. Our Zuchinni are just flowering.
I spent yesterday afternoon in the garden.  Sure it is good for the soul  ;D. Have had to relocate the Wasabi plants.  They don't like the sun and need lots of water.
Found some windfall Apples so blitzed them in the TMX , and add added a mix of berries that were hiding in the fridge and , cooked the lot in TMX, pushed through mouli and back into TMX and made 2 nice jars of jam.
Looking forward to another day in the garden.
