The Parks department of the Whangarei Council does a wonderful job and, one day, I must try and get some photos of the roundabout gardens. However, yesterday, Doug had an appointment so I walked down through Laurie Hall Park into town to window shop. The gardeners had just finished planting and were about to water the new gardens. They will be lovely in a few weeks time.
We generally have our main meal of the day at midday and then something light in the evening. I always enjoy this time of year for the salads (terrible photo) but a salad, mainly from the garden with avocado and smoked salmon on toast was delicious last night and will be on the menu quite frequently over the summer months.
Municipal gardening is a world unto itself. Your salad looks like our usual Christmas Day Lunch (our main meal is always in the evening).
ReplyDeleteI never imagined you having your Christmas Dinner at night.
DeleteAlways.
DeleteThe gardens are going to look lovely aren't they? Whangarei has really improved over the last few years... It is such an inviting place now.
ReplyDeleteYes, their gardens are always good. Do you come from here?
DeleteYou can't beat a simple but tasty salmon and avocado salad, easy, colourful, and very satisfying.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite meals. Avocado season just started. I miss our trees but at least I can get good ones at the Growers' Market.
DeleteDelicious, and wholesome too.
ReplyDeleteI love my salads and vegies.
DeleteSpring is the best season with all the planting and expectations.
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks yummy.
Yes, I must walk down that path in a few weeks and look at the gardens.
DeleteEven freshly planted there is a symmetry in the garden there...looking forward to seeing them
ReplyDeleteYes, they are beautifully planted.
