What I harvested in 2023

[ameno]

Started digging up the white sweet potatoes. 12.5kg from 4 plants so far. A rather so-so yield.

Having spent ten days in hospital, I've got a lot of lettuce to eat from the five plants in the greenhouse!

Hope you are OK Mark - sorry to hear about that x ( the hospital bit not the lettuce glut!)

[ameno]

A kilo of carrots, some kale, a few peppers, the last of my tomatoes (some ripe, most of them half-ripe or green), half a bucket of dry beans for shelling, and brought home another squash.

Mixed lettuce leaves, basil, cutting celery and land cress for this evening meal.

I've got 2 cucumber left in the fridge and around a dozen toms in various stages of ripening after those have gone it'll be frozen roasted toms until next season. Store bought just don't taste as good so I don't buy.

Yesterday I picked a cucumber that might be the last one now,others are very small on the plant. Two courgettes,one was thin,one plants doing better than others & it must be because I never usually grow in that area so the soil is very good. Also lifted a few potatoes for dinner.

Just lettuce to go on this evening's fish finger and Tatar sauce bread cob.

Some tops from a cabbage root that got left in the ground.

[ameno]

Another kilo of cape gooseberries, a large number of jalapenos, and four more plants' worth of sweet potatoes. Just 10.5kg between the four; rather disappointing.
I also decided to pick all the rest of my quinces, since they are bound to all get blown off in the storm, otherwise. I had more left than I thought, and got another 4kg. That's a total crop of 12.5kg this year. Pretty good seeing as this is only the third year I've had the tree. It's out-performing most of my other fruit trees, including ones I've had a lot longer.

A couple of beetroot.
OH made soup with the leaves and leek tops. I’d never have thought about using big beetroot leaves, but they weren’t at all stringy.

[Plot70]

A few japonica fruits but not enough for jam.

[Nicos]

Rocket and lambs lettuce

[Plot70]

I have begun harvesting the autumn raspberry canes. The chickens have been enjoying the remaining now tasteless berries.
The days have got too short for them to be worth going home now.

[ameno]

Dug up the rest of the allotment sweet potatoes (still one final plant at home to dig up yet), and picked a few peppers.

[Plot70]

I harvested my last cucumber and dug up some jerusalem artichokes. They have very few slug holes in them for some reason. Everything else has been pestered by slugs and vine weevils all year.

[Bren In Pots]

Kale and mixed lettuce leaves.
