Today I Mostly Harvested......

[Redpepper]

Y'day, courgettes and today, mint, french beans and radishes

[Gro-Bag]

For lunch landcress in my sandwiches and a couple of radishes, and my first little pod of peas : ) For dinner a few curly kale leaves (1 per each of the bigger plants) and a big fat pak choi in a chinese stir-fry veg. And the second and third lot of potatoes from the bags on the patio to make some space. Looking foward to those tomorrow.

This morning, lettuce, cucumber, radish, peas and potatos. my OH has decided it BBQ weather, so this lot will make nice side dishes x

[Comfreyfan]

CCA leaves, cucumbers, potatoes and pinched the first pea pods from the row!

[Herbie]

Two big turnips, strawberries, mange tout, 4 summer cabbages, 3 courgettes and cos lettuce.

Now going to have a furtle of the spuds.

[Professor Peabody]

Well chuffed with myself today.

First spuds came up and they look lovely. Also harvested more beetroot, radishes and strawberries. Picked some blackcurrents and dug up the pakchoi and one little lettuce that survived the slug onslaught.

Got some good looking potatoes out of an inside out compost bag - that's dinner sorted. Will pick some rhubarb tomorrow to make chutney. Why aren't my radishes producing radishes?!

[eye1der]

harvested today purple podded french beans from the tunnel,radishes,beetroot,first cucumber,lettuce, two courgettes and a bag a spuds (international kidney) everythings growing like mad... oh and 18 eggs! no veg to buy now till october !!
the feeling you get when you put food on your table you have produced yourself is un beatable!

Today I picked some CCA lettuce - really lovely.

Also, the first of the broad beans - there were loads of big, long pods but the beans were few. However, they went in the risotto, along with some tiny carrot thinnings (sowed too thickly again) and a few spring onions which were chopped and stirred through at the end.

These broad beans were from four plants which were sown and put outside very (too) early. So even though the return doesn't seem much (30 beans), after all I only put down 4 beans, so that's 7and a half times the investment, or a profit of 750%.

I think that's right, but if not maybe some mathematical bods will correct me.

Anyway, the meal was gorgeous, all the better for the homegrown input.

[Twinkle]

large basket of peas, first of my early spuds, couple of onions, another 4lb strawberries and 5lb redcurrants.
More jam tomorrow then - gonna put the redcurrants in a net bag with the strawberry jam to see if it'll help it set.

[Wren]

About 30 red, and 20 white autumn planted onions.. Yum!!

[Lottieval]

Have already had rhubarb, strawberries, onions, spuds, beetroot, psb and salads but today pulled the first good sized carrot and a pod of peas, not big but sweet and yummy.

my first post

Hi everyone,
been lurking for a while, but am so pleased with my little plot that I wanted to tell you all what I have managed to harvest. Mixed salad leaves, radish,
and rocket for a salad, and the first few peas which never made it to the kitchen.

I plan to make some rhubard chutney this evening, so will pull some up later on today, along with some of my monster chard and coriander which will go in my sweet potato chilli for dinner tonight.

My 1st Harvest post

Have been harvesting calabrese that I bought as plantlets that were ravaged by pigeons prior to covering. Truly delicious. It was my first year for these and I'm inspired to have another go. I've also been harvesting strawberries, rhubarb and pointed cabbages. Also chard which I've used in stir fries and in a frittata. On the weekend I made 3+ liters of blackcurrant jam (3 bushes are too many!). Tonight I'll pick my first courgettes for adding to a Thai Green Chicken Curry.

I have been harvesting raspberries and new potatoes!! They don`t exactly go together!! Perhaps these are early than in the UK, I`m down in the south of France.
