The chosen herbs

Rummi has a whole list of herbs to grow. Some are chosen cos they are 'cooking-steroids' (taste boosters), are nature's medical gifts, or visual-delights on top of their main roles!

THYMES : Kitchen's best performer cum all-rounder. Medically useful in combating cough & bronchitis; or as an antiseptic. Makes an aromatic little bush on the coffee table too.
OREGANO : Tomatoes' best partner in the plate. Delightful with grilled meat too.
PARSLEY : The italian-version of asian's coriander. Italian kitchen's all-rounder.
BASIL : Tomatoes' best partner in the plate & in the planting pot. Growing multiple colors & leaf-patterns; will be garden's visual-enhancer.
CILANTRA : Soup in asian kitchen just dun taste good enough without coriander leaves! Ditto (some) indian curries. Asian all-rounder.
GARLIC CHIVES : Compulsory in the savoury pancakes & dumplings.
PANDAN : Indispensable in (southeast) asian desert kitchen. Double-casting in some main dishes as well, such as chicken rice & nasi lemak.
ROSEMARY : Is a lovely bushy shrub covered with tiny little flowers. Makes a good herbal tea and occasional cake. Superb for cooking with chicken & lambs.
CAMOMILE : Specially chosen for its lovely aromatic daisy-like flowers. Medically useful in soothing irritated stomach & bowels. Is an aromatic mood-enhancing tea on hot afternoons.

Little urban farmer

With the wedding, came a new life & goal - 'May we grow old AND HEALTHY together'!

With the new flat, comes a sunny little balcony, 3th floor in the air. This is where the action will start this December.

Watch Rummi as she plays the new role of the Little Urban Farmer;)
