Today I Mostly Harvested....!

[Garden_girlie21]

I got a few tiny pods off of some peas that I had left in the Gh, and I thought had died. I also got some raspberries - they're so bountiful at the moment!!!

Tempted to go harvest a shallot but not sure if you can use them straight away.

Hope so, I've been using mine for a couple of weeks

Today I picked salad leaves, peas, broadbeans and strawberries.

some shallots before they got 'got' by some grey stuff that seems to be attacking them this year.

Mange tout and raspberries... shallots are looking good so hopefully won't be long now and the first courgette is finger sized, so based on another thread about harvesting the first ones early to get a better crop, that might find it's way to the pot soon .

this afternoon/evening:
2 tomatoes that went into the pasta for tea
1 strawb that the OH picked tonight and showed me proudly that he had picked it. bless, he is still quite hungover from the weekend's beer sampling.
1 nearly ready pea - so sweet and tender - beautiful. This means it is now officially summer in our house.

today was my first harvest of the year ....
1.5lbs of gooseberries, guessing another 3lbs still growing on the plants
almost 1lb of loganberries, another 2-3lbs still growing
almost 1lb of peas, guessing another 6lbs still growing
6 sticks of rhubarb which a friend made into a crumble for me and it was brilliant!

On saturday, I fed me, OH and the IL's bacon, cabbage and new potatoes, with only the bacon not being grown by me (FIL making OH groan with that remark as OH knows I'd love to have animals too!!). This was followed by the second half of my celebration choccie cake (shop bought on Friday - unexpected celebrations of passing college course!!) and each slice was accompanied by 4 of my own raspberries!!.

Yesterday, we had more new potatoes but the IL's don't eat beans, so as my peas had been nicked, I had to resort to shop-carrots.

I also sent the IL's home with 2 heads of cabbage and a bunch of onions.

Today, I have a lunchbox including lettuce, mangetout and some carrots of my own. We will have the broad beans tonight (with new onion stalks chopped instead of spring onions, and some bacon, all fried together), served on nice bread and possibly with some scrambled eggs on the side.

Hopefully tomorrow night we'll have a few mangetout, the last sprout of PSB, a decent handfull of cabbage, a few reserved broadies, onion, garlic and a baby courgette, and some shop mushrooms in a chicken stirfry.

Risotto tonight with some of the over-wintering shallots, the first courgette, the first few peas (lots more to come!) some broadies and mangetout peas. Handful of grated Cheshire cheese and some parsley at the last minute. Mmmmm.

The Japanese onions planted last Autumn - very impressive, broad beans, rocket potatoes, oriental salad leaves, cabbage, small punnet of strawberries and yet more sweet peas to scent the house - I've had to buy more vases and am giving them away to passing strangers!
