Fresh basil, oregano & rosemary cuttings are sitting on the mailbox. If you need any others come and get some from the herb garden :)

If anyone has any other fresh fruit/vegies/herbs for the food crate please drop them off :)

Also - if anyone has any spare ice-cream or yoghurt containers that could be used to keep food/herbs fresh (with water in the bottom) please drop them off.

Thanks - and have a great weekend :)

Need herbs for dinner?
Then don't forget the little herb garden in the front yard.
Currently there is - parsley (Italian & curly leaf) Chives, garlic chives, mint, choc mint, oregano, basil, rosemary & thyme.

There are scissors and small bags in the top drawer of the filing cabinet to help :)

Please just take only what you need for that day so there is plenty for everyone.

If anyone has other herbs which would add to the area please let me know.

Hopefully soon there will also be mini cucumbers, tomato, lettuce and capsicum to add along the fence :)

With the rain recently the fridge doors are shut - but you are welcome to come and browse between showers - please just shut them again afterwards.

I have just put butternut pumpkin, zucchini & basil seedlings on the mailbox. Please take them if you can use them.
If anyone has other seedlings which are excess please drop them off.
