We're delighted to be collaborating with chef Luke Burgess, who uses FIMBY gardeners' excess vegies (and weeds!) in preparations for his amazing gourmet dinner parties. Luke reckons that onions and lovage are a match made in heaven, and in this dish he's used chickweed and pea flowers as a garnish.

 |
| At Thomas and Wendy's we planted sunflowers amongst the beans. They're happy companions, with the beans using the sunflower stems to climb. | Then beans are growing well, and the 6 foot sunnies are gorgeous and enjoy the nitrogen fix from the beans. |
