Luisa and salad
I have a lovely young wwoofer (willing worker on organic farms) called Luisa who grew up in England but has a NZ mother and so NZ citizenship. She is a made keen horticulturalist and has been a wonderful help in the garden. We decided to go on a ‘pickathon’ to see how many leaves and flowers we could pick in my garden to put in a salad.
