Fast food and herbs

My version of fast food is food that I can grow quickly before I starve to death - that's most likely to happen in late spring, the so-called hungry gap. Just as well I made another garden and planted those potatoes before we went to Arizona (actually, these are the second earlies - I had already pulled the earlies in November). The garden looks like it's been there for most of last century because I use a lot of recycled materials.

Black currants are our second fruit crop at the moment, coming after the red currants.
The reason we had to go to Arizona is because Lisa had a herb conference in Mormon Lakes - she's Australia's first Community Herbalist and she looks like a herbalist here
