Garden Close Ups 

Although the skies have been grey and the weather wet and cold, there is so much bright colour in the winter garden. Have you ever taken the time to stop and look closely at the beautiful abstract forms of flowers? So many textures, shades of colours and fine forms. Here are some images I captured to share with you all. These are all plants in our garden, most are natives :)

Pea + Verjuice Dip

This dip is super easy and exceptionally tasty. You can serve it on an antipasto platter or heat it and spread it on toast topped with smoked ham and a poached egg. It really is delicious. I once purchased a dip with these ingredients as the hero ingredients and have thought of replicating it ever since. As a variation, you could blitz in some finely chopped mint and fresh lemon juice to add another dimension.
