Today I Mostly Harvested......

[binley100]

final score on the gooseberries was 75 pounds off less than 10 plants
evenly distributed between freezers, relatives and friends

Lucky you Our goosegogs were pants this year........but today I've picked another 1lb of raspberries, a gherkin, french beans, mangetout, courgette, gherkin and the onions grown from sets.

1 raspberry! There are only 4 ripe at the moment, so I picked one for myself, my wife is coming t o pick her own tomorrow, and my mother (who's garden it is I'm growing all my fruit and veg in!) can pick her own too

Also a cauliflower, some jalapenos and several courgettes

Strawbs & mangetout. Nearly got enough strawbs frozen to make jam now.

The lad had a mini cucumber and rasps before we got indoors, and foraged a tub full of wild cherries from tree on communal land.

I picked 2 courgettes and some runner beans for dinner.

First spuds, runners and calabrese. More spring onions and last of the peas. Shallots have been drying for a week so they have come home today. Onions are now up and drying.

Last of the mangetout, first of the french beans, lots of shallots and a good crop of garlic (only half but it is infested with rust), pity I can't remember the name as the other pack I bought did zilch!

wow fab looking garlic and shallots. I'm very jealous after completely messing up mine by planting the whole bulb.
I have had some teeny tiny bulbs which were nice but I'm very envious of yours.

Today I harvested spinach, broad beans, runner beans, courgettes, onions and sugar snap peas,which were all cooked and eaten at lunchtime today. Totally delicious and I have yet more rhubarb to stew now too.
I also picked another beetroot to send to my ex Mum in Law and ate some of mine that I cooked the other day and popped in some vinegar.Yesterday I picked half a dozen courgettes and some beetroot to give to my Mum but the cheeky beggar moaned that she was waiting for my green beans (she's not getting them...they're all mine until they really get going and I have too many to eat myself)

[Currysniffa]

A cauliflower, Cabbage, Runner Beans,PSB, Iceberg Lettuce,mizuna lettuce leafs and a Gurken lol

[Dave & Kate N Wales]

Today we harvested all of the king edwards as hubby needed the bed for other stuff, broad beans, 2 french beans, peas, cardoon and raspberries

[binley100]

Two greyhound cabbage ( one for eldest to take home ) a few kale leaves to try (never had kale before) courrgettes, gherkins, french beans, mange tout, raspberries ( nearly finished now) a few blackberries , beetroot, tomatoes, and my first ever aubergines ( they were long and thinnish but I was tooo impatient )

[katholicos]

Mangetout, broad beans, courgette. Used the pods from the broadies too. Made a batter, dipped them in it and deep fried them. Lovely.

supraflyguy, I'm right with you there, because over the last week, it's been that wet here that the Blackbirds have been teaching their youngsters to steal Rapberries from under my very nose, and I've not minded hugely, because the fruits have been ripening 'in dribbs'n'drabbs', and there's little point in harvesting wet soft fruit on a wet morning kind of 'one at a time' to add to your stockpile in the freezer.


I'm a great believer in 'First Come, First Served', and honestly, there's no better harvest than straight off the plant and into your mouth, she said, eyeing up the Sweetcorn 'Incredible' for a possible harvest tomorrow, seriously considering boiling a pan of water ten minutes before Trousers is due home(!)

Today, I mostly harvested some teeny-weeny ripe 'Sungold' cherry tomatoes (my absolute favourite cherry tom), some Spring Onions, Basil, New Potatoes, Salad Leaves and a perfectly formed purple sweet pepper.

I was seriously in two minds whether to harvest one or two of the aubergines (because they're dead glossy, and thereefore 'ripe' for the picking), but I'm putting that off for a day or two, hoping that I can harvest sufficient of them together to roast to bung in the freezer.....(because roasting brings out their 'smokiness'), in my humble opinion.

Can't stop. Courgettes need picking. Need I say more?!X

[catkeeble]

I'm so excited about yesterdays harvest! We picked a nice crop of French Beans, some Dwarf Runner Beans, 4 beets, about 5 Carrots!, and some Potatoes...I made a beautiful Lamb Roast...it all was delicious....I'm not sure if it's psychological because I grew it and picked it with my 5 year old Daughter and 2 year old Son, or if it actually DOES taste better!!??

Anyway, I'm contemplating picking my first cucumber today and the first few of my sun baby tommies, with a few mixed lettuce leaves and doing a chicken salad....Yummy...

How exciting is all this?!! Hehe x

Whoops...I forgot my first Courgette was picked too...I would probably have left it but my Son had a bit of a mad one and got overexcited with the picking and just yanked it off!! LOL
