A side of sweet roasted vegetables is a great addition to any meal. This is a quick and easy recipe that can cook while you prepare the rest of your dinner.
We have used red and yellow peppers as well as green zucchini, but feel free to use any colour of pepper or yellow zucchini.
These roasted veggies are also great for wraps and sandwiches, so make extra to use the next day.
Deboned chicken thighs are a really useful and versatile protein. Buying bone-in skin-on chicken thighs and deboning your own is the budget-friendly choice.
Look for special offers in your grocery store and you can then decide to use it with the bone-on skin-on as you bought it, or you can debone the chicken and choose to leave the skin on or off depending on your needs.
The Common Yarrow is an easy-care perennial, which bees and other pollinators love to visit.
Growing from a deep bed of lovely feathery leaves, its tall flower stems showcase flat-topped flower heads will grow to 5 inches across and will keep their colour in your garden for weeks.
This is a carefree plant that needs minimal upkeep.
Stake early in the season to prevent the flowers from flopping over, and deadhead regularly to keep the blooms coming. You will also want to divide the plant every 4 to 5 years.
The Japanese Larch is a sun-loving deciduous conifer.
One of the things I find enchanting is the softness of the needles which emerge in clusters as a lovely light green in the spring.
They will become a richer blue green through the summer and turn an outstanding yellow before falling from the tree in autumn.
Golden Celebration Rose by David Austin.
Its incredible blooms displayed on elegant arching branches are one of the largest blooms found on an English rose.
It has a wonderful fragrance described by David Austin Roses as having a “tea fragrance” that “develops wonderfully combined notes of Sauternes wine and strawberry” so be sure to choose a location where you can enjoy its evolving perfume.
