Dini arranged for seeds and seedlings from Bunnings to replant our community garden now the rain has begun. Seedlings of cabbage, cauliflower and beetroot have a head start in the fertile damp soil. We have also sown two packets of radish seeds as a first crop whilst the others slowly mature. In a few weeks the first radishes will be ready to harvest. Raw radish add that extra zing to salads, however this time of the year consider pickling them using one of the several easy pickling recipes on the net.
Pickled radish adds a zing to sandwiches and an extra piquancy to Asian foods, used in Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese and Korean dishes.

Dini also collected $120 worth of gift cards as a thank you from Bunnings for club members being involved in their Mother's Day event.
