For over 200,000 years humanity has been living and developing on Earth. It is not so surprising that even the hardest of city lovers gain great value in being with nature. Whether you believe in an ‘inner you’ and that you exchange energy with the world around you is immaterial. You are doing it all the time but may not be aware of it.
I love my city allotment and consider myself very lucky to have one. It is a box a metre square and a number of pots. It amazes me how much my husband and I manage to grow in it. Today’s treat is to make tabouli from our own ingredients (apart from the lemon and the couscous). It is the first time I have made it myself. My ingredients are – parsley, rocket, onions, tomatoes, cucumber, two types of mint and some verbena – lemon tasting leaves.
It took me ages to chop up all the ingredients but the smell as I did it was truly wonderful. Here is the result. I now have to put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to settle. It has been about 45 minutes from soil to dish so it is lovely and fresh.
It was so satisfying to make a dish for my dinner from plants that I have grown. There was a real sense of achievement not to mention all of that lovely energy the plants kindly gave me. It is the best tonic possible.
