Self Sufficient - Ingredients

Re: Self Sufficient - Ingredients

Sounds good - I find it particularly rewarding using produce from the garden but tend to only plant and tend items that are "useful".

Weather is definitely a factor here at the moment - when I got home after a 43 C day yesterday I found some of my San Marzano had burned leaves so hopefully they will survive OK. I have to hand water at 6:00 a.m. and again in the evening just to keep things alive. Others seem to have the opposite problem - too cold!!

Italian sausage
mozzarella (ok, I have to buy milk)
tomatoes
basil and other spices
lots of different veggies

I will have lots of things when it's time to garden here- but that's a couple of months away...

Just wondering how many people have become self sufficient in ingredients - either partly or wholly.

So far I produce the following at home:

1. Tomatoes (partially self sufficient - use for toppings, but not sauce)

2. Chllies - 7 varieties (wholly self sufficient)

3. Sweet Basil (wholly self sufficient)

4. Chives (wholly self sufficient)

5. Lemons (wholly self sufficient)

6. Thyme (wholly self sufficient)

7. Rosemary (wholly self sufficient)

8. Oregano (wholly self sufficient)

9. Bay tree (wholly self sufficient)

Look forward to hearing what others have got going in the garden.
