Hi Diane,
Welcome to KGI, you must have heaps of gardening experience gardening in such different climates.
Could you please join the recipe exchange group and share your asparagus hummus recipe, it looks great!
I make hummus all the time so would be interested in your recipe.
I keep cooked chickpeas in the freezer and then process them with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, chilli, olive oil and a spash of hot water. Yum!

Thanks, Kate, for posting what you've saved! How did the seed saving for everyone else go this year? I saved seeds from several herbs that aren't ---I don't think--- heirloom varieties (fennel, dill, basil, flat-leaf parsley, cilantro) and some z...

Hi Sumitra, It is great to see your photos and bee hives. Like you I long for equality for all people on this planet. If all people could grow their own vegetables it would be a great thing. It is very hard to know that lots of people do not have ...
