Today I harvested - 2018

[burnie]

Pac choi, never grown it before, may not have eaten it before, quite nice raw, moist, fresh and crunchy with a sort of mild taste of fresh peas about it.

[veggiechicken]

5 courgettes.

Another punnet of strawberries to be turned into jam tomorrow.
Made 4 lbs of raspberry jam this morning and will be making 4 lbs of strawberry jam this evening. Its like a jam factory here.

[self-contained]

A pansy, to add to my little indoor jar of sweetpeas and pansies (I know I'm supposed to keep picking the sweetpeas, not sure about the pansies. However, as my pansies are currently swamping my cucumbers a bit, I don't mind too much if I bump them off!)

Assorted leaves for salad, including: dandelion, red mustard, kale, three varieties of mint, red veined sorrel, oca (just a few), dill, coriander, sage, thyme, American land cress, corn mache... I'm sure there was more, but I forget what else.

Radishes - looking a bit deformed. I seem to get a few very good radishes, and then some that never seem to come to much. I suspect I'll only be able to eat a few of the ones I've harvested as some look a bit woody, even though they are small.

Three turnips - picked at golf-ball size. I'll probably have them raw in my salad tonight.

Three gooseberries - my bush is definitely a red variety. That just means I'll need to buy myself a green variety to go with it

Two tiny strawberries from my plants and two teeny strawberries from the under-fence volunteers from next door.

Ate the gooseberries and strawberries immediately after picking, and they were very good indeed.

Also, not exactly a harvest, but I cut off any leaves from my plants that are looking particularly wilty or slug eaten as well as stalks of bolting mustard and rocket. I've roughly chopped them with scissors and used them as a mulch round my rhubarb, raspberries and honeyberry.

1. Garlic
Marco which was quite disappointing with small build some of which hadn't split and Casablanca which were great. Double the size.

2. Mange tout
Been having this about every few days for a month now. Other half getting a bit fed up but I love it and it's free probably got another two weeks worth.

3. Strawberries.
Been getting a small punnet every day for last week or two. First year that slugs haven't got the first. Love this hot dry weather but spending most of my time having to water things.

4. Potatoes
Had some which came up from one of missed when harvesting last year. Not done anything with them and hadn't watered but got a modest crop which was a welcome bonus and again very little slug damage.

Getting impatient with my chillies though.

[chillithyme]

baby handful of raspberries

[Craig_C]

Dessert Bowlful of Raspberries.
I had noticed that the birds had found them last week, the effort expended to net them up was worth it.
No damage to fruit, but noticed a lot of ant activity.
What do Ants want with Raspberries?

[nickdub]

with ants on plants my first thought at this time of year is aphids.
