Who will take my collection of blue-purple delicious balcony plants home? I bought them yesterday for an experiment in Gothic Gardening, but they don't fit my Japanese edible gardening plans. I might even be able to deliver, if your plan is charming enough. For sale, cheaper than the nursery price.
The lilly-pilly's mauve berries can be made into cordial or pretty jelly, as in Anette Mcfarlane's Lilly pilly Jelly recipie. and its a native. This slender, sentenial tree is a great screening tree, 2 meters tall. She was half-price as she is in full bloom right now. Lucky us.
Lilly pilly berries and black KaleThe Rosemary is thick with vividly-blue flowers, is a gorgeous shape and dizzying honey-rosemary fragrance. Id use it in Rosti - grated dutch-cream potatoes, olive oil, salt, fried till crisp. Gallileo's daughter used to make jam from the blossoms.
The black pansies...couldn't be found. Here they are in punnets of purple. Yes, you can eat them in salads.
The frilly black Kale is cut, that gets thown in for free.
Click through to my gumtree listing for prices. First come, beautiuful balcony. North Melbourne.
