Today I Mostly Harvested......

[Topcat36]

Lettuce, raddish ,spring onions every day way to much lettuce.

Spinach most pleased with this as i use it in a lot of recipes, raspberries tonight to go with my ice cream.

[Glaurung]

Good day today. First tomato, first aubergine, a courgette, some lettuce a green pepper, shallot, strawberries and blackcurrants.

[Lavenderblue]

spinach, many millions of strawberries, an onion, garlic and some basil.

I had a lovely "smug trug" coming home at the weekend (well, if i had a trug, it would have been smug).

I brought home a big bag of broad beans, a good handful of red onions, 2 elephant garlic bulbs, a small bag of radishes, a small bag of baby turnips, 8 sticks of rhubarb and our first 4 raspberries of the season. (I didn't bring a cabbage, which was ready but would stand another week, as I didn't think I'd use it).

And I'm using lettuce leaves now from the garden, and a load of mangetout every evening, and an average of 1-2 strawberries per night.

And we finally have fresh coriander from the garden to go with our more usual herbs (we love coriander and I was getting very frustrated at the lack of it over the past few years).

At the weekend we harvested our first rhubarb stems x 4 and had a crumble at the in-laws, it was delicious.

The kids have helped pick the peas, only a handful but then I only grow them to show them. Garden not big enough. Daughter ate the peas and pods, son ate the pods, rabbit had the cast offs!

Strawberries and raspberries (although these are suppose to be Autumn fruiting!). Just enough to make two punnets over two weeks.

Wild rocket and baby turnips yesterday.

It's all too exciting for me. I go out every day to check on the size of the tomatoes and the length of the runner beans and courgettes in anticipation!

Today I harvested another bowl of strawberries, some spring onions, some mangetout, some dwarf french beans, some carrots and, best of all, my first ever homegrown bulb of Garlic, an Iberian Wight, not bad size, had split into cloves and tastes quite strong.

What a great day

[tootles]

Two more huge round courgettes, lots of salad, new potatoes, a few red onions, carrots, sugar snap peas, broccoli, last few broad beans and some raspberries.

If I'd grown the couscous it would be an entirely home grown supper.

[DaisyDiamond]

First harvest big enough to make a whole meal - very exciting.

Peas, Courgette, Mangetout, Spring Onion and Brocolli all in a Fritatta/Omlette with chives, and eggs from the chooks with a bowl of salad. Just the tomatos and salt and pepper not from the garden (thanks to my neighbour for the cucumber!) Come on tomatos!!

[TEB]

Bumper day, we harvested International Kidney (had with Lemon Sole for Dinner) and Sharps Express pots, a row of Beetroot (since been pickled), a row of carrots (turned into 2 carrot cakes), a few turnips (blanched and frozen), about a 1LB of blackcurrants (a Blackcurrant Meringue Pie and the rest turned into a cordial), two small cauliflowers which we had roasted with cheese sauce for lunch.

PS I just ate, OH did the baking

[hamsterqueen]

enough red duke of york spuds for a meal, with salad leaves and herbs (fennel and mint) for a salad.

There is a lovely pointed cabbage ready which I am having on Sunday.

1 strawberry!

[mythyme]

so chuffed with the world, harvested courgettes and had so many I had to give them away to friends, kids are all strawberried out-as are the birds!! and I can see the blackcurrants are beautiful and shiny so looking forward to the w/e when they will be harvested and cooked up into something delish.!! Happy days

[Nes]

4 raspberries, a small pot of strawberries, a bag of broad beans, lots of baby lettuce / spinach and red chard leaves for salad over the w/e, a baby cauliflower, a handful of mangetout, 2 courgettes and a big handful of parsley. How very satisfying!

[NewbieGardenerRow]

yey whoo hooo finally I harvested 3 (yes only 3) sugar peas. My very first crop of anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOHOOOOOOO
I stir fried them for a couple of mins and we had one each.
DELICIOUS and even better coz I grew them myself.
I'm chuffed to bits.
Sorry for being a bit daft over 3 peas but yeyyyyy....I grew something that tastes great.
What a feelin.
Sorry, I just had to share.
love Row XXX

[cupcake]

Ah Row! Now you're hooked there's no escape! I got about half a pound of mangetout today, I love them!

[NewbieGardenerRow]

Ah Row! Now you're hooked there's no escape! I got about half a pound of mangetout today, I love them!

I only ate one but the taste is lingering. So much better than ones I have bought from the supermarket. Even my 10 year old said it was delicious and normally she won't touch mange tout/sugar peas etc.
I'm hooked alright. Now I wanna plant some more. I need a bigger garden...and a lottie too....lol
Sorry I will calm down now
