Today I Mostly Harvested......

[solway cropper]

Today I harvested...just about everything. It's that time of year when we struggle to deal with the stuff that's filling our garden. As well as eating fresh veg I've been making jam and freezing stuff. Just discovered a bullace tree that's laden with fruit about half a mile from the house. Hope nobody gets to the ripe fruit before i do.

We had a 'Garden Stir-fry' today. What I harvested went in the wok...

Pak Choi (Black Summer)
2x Radish (Long Wht Icicle - would've been longer if I'd resisted urge to pull!)
8x Mini-Finger carrots - they really were mini - more thinnings really...
Beetroot
Kohl Rabi
& from a rogue potato plant (maybe the pea sized spuds from last year that I missed?) 3 baby spuds!

Today we picked more salad leaves plus another cabbage and two beetroot. Also dug up first lot of garlic for this year and our very first shallots.

[Suky]

My 3rd pointed cabbage, petit pois and dwarf french beans (planted as a trial in a big tub) and a big bunch of sweet peas.
ETA: my 1st 50g of carrots!

Peas, meteor peas.


I have some carrots almost ready and some hestia beans, but I don't know what they look like when they are ready!!

New potatoes - Charlotte - mostly about the size of a computer mouse.

At last a variety that suits my garden in Yorkshire, fairly moist & heavy soil. I only lost around 1 in 20 spuds to slugs - this is a miricle for my garden - and the plants are just about finished (mid July) before summer blight arrives.

Shallow eyes & clean up easily, no need to peel. Great in the kitchen.

Oh, I forgot to mention the sugar snap peas. Wow they must like all the compost - 7' high now!

well worth sowing, definitely a winner - longer cropping & easier to grow (and use in the kitchen) than normal peas.

cabbage, "smile" potatoes (2nd earlies), peas and baby carrots. Mint for the veg.

more than enough for Sunday lunch ( steak and ale pie..home made)

[Herbie]

Garlic, turnips, raspberries,peas, lettuce,french beans, cucumber, tomatoes.

Garlic was a bit on the small side but still really pleased with it, as it was the first time I have grown it.

[Florence Fennel]

3 massive cauliflowers (now in freezer), 3 cabbages (greyhound, I think) requested by colleagues at work, more peas and yet more radishes!

[maytreefrannie]

Enough new potatoes (Variety: Bambino) to feed four. Delicious.

[Scottishnewbie]

Courgette,
patty pan,
red onion,
carrots,
potatoes
strawberries

and had the lot for tea...feeling VERY proud of myself

Today I dug up another row of Pentland Javelin Potatoes probably about 10lb, 3 yellow and 2 green courgettes, 12oz blackcurrants, 1 and 1/2 lb rhubarb, 6 onions, 6 spring onions, 6 beetroot, swiss chard and a bunch of sweetpeas. I was also given a bunch of dahlia's by a lottie neighbour.

[solway cropper]

Another 3 lbs of blackcurrants and i've already made 5 jars of jam. Think I'll just freeze these and think of something to do with them later when the garden is not so productive.
