Today I Mostly Harvested......

[Newbie]

Came back from holls yesterday so harvested an absolute ton of veg: Cherry tomatoes, beetroot (2 types), turnips (2 types), broad beans, peas, french beans, carrots, PSB and a courgette. Lots & lots of each!

[avinabacca]

The biggest harvest yet for us - around 2lb each of Anya and Pentland Javelin spuds (would have been more Javelin but for those pesky slugs....), a big bunch of beetroot, a big bunch of turnips, a dozen or so red onions, a good handful of spring onions, half a dozen garlic bulbs, 1lb-or-so shallots, 1lb-or-so gooseberries, four big, buttery lettuces and over 1lb broad beans.

Divvied them up between them, gave some veg to the father-in-law when we saw him this afternoon and had lovely, fresh tatties for tea. Beetroot's cooling off now after being boiled, and they and the shallots are being pickled for Christmas tomorrow.

Job's a good'un

Harvested all the garlic yesterday as some was starting to rot in the ground. Just leaving it to dry off now ( if the rain gives over) before putting it in the shed for storage.

Didn't manage to harvest the fruit cos I forgot a pot to put them in!

Did harvest another cabbage and a selection of salad leaves so the day wasn't in vain.

[craftygirl24]

Lollo rosso lettuce, courgettes, garlic, cucumber (3 from the greenhouse - about 20 more coming so far!), raspberries, blueberries, 2nd early pots, more courgettes (have we all got a huge glut of courgettes, must make some courgette soup), turnips and red onions.

By the way, I've had 4 huge green peppers from the greenhouse, and now, on one of the plants there are black peppers growing which are even bigger and look slightly red. Are these going to be red peppers and, if so, do I leave them to go red on the plant, or do I pick them and let them go red?

Lots of broad beans, lightly boiled then tossed in butter.
Some carrot thinnings and a courgette, which I roasted with an onion.

We ate the above with new potatoes (homegrown by a friend) and little steaks from the butcher.

Runner beans, courgettes, broad beans, onions, 3 x tiny french beans, raspberries. Tomorrow I must pick the rest of the redcurrants

[trolleydolly]

Today I harvested French Beans, and Swift first earlies. Also I and the OH harvested some onions, which were Red Baron Stuttgart Pearl.

Finally picked the last of the redcurrants - 3 pounds of them - gone in the freezer apart from the ones that found their way into my mouth

[glut]

raspberries, courgettes, tonnes of plums, potatoes, and two beans!

[craftygirl24]

one pound runner beans, 4 large courgettes, lovely bowl blueberries - yum! and 2 cucumbers

[solway cropper]

The very last of the first early spuds. That's 62 lbs in total. One row of second earlies left and then it'll be off to the farm down the road for the maincrop. Wish I had more space but she won't let me dig up any more lawn

Leave them on the plant, they will go red

Today we picked blackberries and apples, dug up the last of the garlic and harvested first lot of second earlies. Actually really disappointed about the spuds - we only got about ten from six plants.
