Collecting from our vegetable garden.

At Makerspace with Mr Vogt, our group got to harvest/hauhake gather silverbeet and spinach from our vegetable garden. Which we are lucky to take home.

We learnt not all vegetables grow at the same time, but are seasonal/ā-kaupeka. growing in a particular season. Lettuce, carrots, spring onions, silverbeet and spinach are all available all year around.

These are also nutritional/taioranga -  healthy food that is good for us.  Spinach can be used to make a nice omelette with onions, tomatoes, mushrooms and capsicum.  For baked frittata, you can use leaves of the silverbeet, finely sliced, with diced onion, eggs, milk, grated kumara and ground pepper to taste.
