Beef, Potatoes and Peas Curry

With the burst of freezing weather this last few days, I thought to cook up our leftover beef and potatoes into a simple Winter warmer for last night dinner. This curry is super quick to prep and cook.

I put extra chopped chilies on mine to give extra warmth.

There was only 3 little potatoes left and I saved a small portion of the beef that we bought in the last grocery run, which turned out to be perfect for this.

This would have tasted even better if I have curry leaves, but unfortunately I don't. So, I only put a few bay leaves.

Mid Winter Leafy Green Vegetables Harvest

We are absolutely loving the various leafy vegetables in our garden. It's mid winter now in Melbourne and they keep giving us nutritious supply for our meal.

I am so happy with the amount of Cos Lettuce plants that I planted in the garden. I planted about a dozen or so all over the place and they provide continuous supply of the greens.

I also planted around 5-6 Russian Kale and Perpetual Spinach. Their leaves are getting bigger and we picked a few leaves regularly so the younger leaves have some space and sun exposure and they can grow bigger.

Dahlia Tubers Harvest and Storing for Next Spring

The Dahlia plants were ready to be cleared. This is the first time I harvested the tubers as they have grown into a big clump and had popped out of the ground. So I thought they need bigger space for next Spring. In the space of roughly 25x80cm, there were this amount of tubers:

So, they were overcrowded. After cleaning and dividing I stored some for next Spring and put up the remaining for sale.

Ready for storing:

I put a thin layer of soil at the bottom of this box. Place the tubers and covered them with more soil. Ready for storing in dark and dry spot over winter.

These are the actual Dahlia plants:
