Last Sunday we all gathered at the beautiful Glandore Community Garden for an enjoyable World Kitchen Garden Day afternoon.
When we arrived plot holders were busy working in their plots.
Harry was busy working on the wood fired pizza oven which will be is going to have a mosaic added soon.
Everyone chatted about what excess produce they had bought along as well as something they had cooked from their country of origin.
Produce to share included Lebanese cress, bunches of coriander, Jerusalem artichokes, lima bean seeds, plum jams, chilli jams, lemons, fennel, chillies and a lot of different potted up plants.
There were lots of seeds to share and a favourite seed we saved this year was chervil which is a lovely herb we are picking at the moment.
We had an apple amaranth cake from Argentina, Indian Spinach and onion fritters, Irish pumpkin dip, German lemon cake, Middle eastern Humus, French Cheese and Biscuits, German raspberry muffins, Spicy Orange Muffins and an Aussie multicultural creation of brightly coloured Nasturtium flowers filled with humus and topped with sweet chilli jam.
Daniel (from Gardening Australia fame) told us all about an Orchid show he had just entered in and his Mum said he was being very modest and had won 2nd prize in his Category.
Thank you everyone who came and shared their knowledge, kitchen garden food and kitchen garden produce with us.
We look forward to World Kitchen Garden Day 2011.

Look so much fun on that day. Aww... we can't join in this time around due to fasting;-). Hopefully next time.
Adelaide has so many wonderful cultures.... something I really miss very much here in boringly Anglo Tasmania. It is so lovely to read about all the food and plants and seeds you shared on World KG Day, Maggie.
