"What utensils do you eat with", was a question asked on a Food Network show. You know us Malaysian, we use the fork and spoon, chopsticks and even our hands. A light bulb went off in my head! I had found THE NAME for this, my new gardening and lifestyle blog. I EAT WITH SCOOPS, SHOVELS AND SPADES. We indeed have been eating with scoops, shovels and spades ... and sweat and tears, for many years now from our garden. The satisfaction of making a meal out of ingredients you just pick from your own garden is indescribable.
Inspired by the European potagers, orchards of my travels, secret gardens of my childhood readings and, the kebun kebun of my youth: this is my dream sanctuary. My experiment into edible landscaping is guided by the motto: “If I cannot eat it, I must not plant it.” Every plant in my sanctuary is edible or helps to sustain the edible plants.
