Urban Farming — Lloyd the Farmer

Lloyd has been making the most of home grown potatoes recently, elevating his freshly harvested, home grown spuds to hero status!

Here is a delicious way to enjoy young, green tomatoes from your Glowpear, for longer, whether early or late in the season. Try the green tomato pickle!

This delicious soup is perfect to make use of those late spring peas, as well and flourishing borage and mint in your summer Glowpear.

This recipe is a great way to use sprouting brassicas or other leafy greens from your Glowpear, in a delicate Japanese inspired dish.

Late summer harvests always need a yummy solution to make sure the produce you've grown doesn't go to waste. Lloyd has made sure he's got that sorted this year, so get your baking tins ready for this corker!

Our friend Alice Zaslavsky has a range of new vegetable based recipes that Lloyd has been trying out this spring with the produce from his Glowpear Café Planters. Here's a super simple and yummy way to use up that excess basil from your Glowpear!

Spring is in the air, as winter fades like a distant memory. Winter produce beckons, so I've come up with this perfect dish to use up the final remants of the crops from colder months.

As winter approaches, it'll be time to harvest some of those healthy greens from your veggie patch. Try making this awesome soup with your crop as Lloyd has done with produce from his Café Planters.

Our friend Indira Naidoo has a range of terrific, fresh recipes that I've been trying out this summer. Grow mignonette and red oak lettuce in your Glowpear, and either cultivate or purchase your favorite type of garlic to mix with the rest of the ingredients for this yummy summer salad.

I've been busy experimenting with microgreens from our friends at Farmwall, along with the produce from my Glowpear Café Planters. 

Check out this terrific salad mix that Farmwall suggests, something I've been tinkering with this spring:
