What are you harvesting now?
« on: May 27, 2009, 09:39 »
So far we've been munching salad leaves, radishes, spring onions, habanero chillis (from an overwintered plant), and we had our first few potatos on Monday in a potato salad to go with the bbq.

Broad beans are coming along nicely and we'll have some spring cabbage to munch in a couple of weeks.

Asparagus, asparagus and more asparagus.

Then some.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

lettuces and the occasional radish, but i can't seem to get this successional sowing thing down right, so we have a run of lettuces for a week and then 2 weeks without as the next lot get big enough :D . Oh well, one day i'll get organised enough.  :)
oh, and basil and parsley thinnings. the tomatoes and potatoes are a wee way off yet.

Was radish and some jerusalum artichoke. Radish has root fly larve and I discovered I don't like jerusalum artichoke much so not going well  ::)

 :( :( :( me neither mind you I'm not surprised I'm late with things this year. I've just found I have sown invisible runner beans I've been watering empty pots for the past two weeks thinking they were a bit slow in showing. I reckon it must have been a senior moment and forgot to put the d***m things in the pots - did the french beans >:( Oh well off to sow again!

I know it's not funny but this did make me :lol:

Still, you found out before it's too late to plant some more.

My harvest? just a few salad leaves and rhubarb, although I give all the rhubarb away as I don't like it  :tongue2:

Cucumbers, Rhubarb, Chard, Lettuce (from Greenhouse), Japanese Onions

Spuds soon, and Tomatoes fairly soon, I reckon.

Haven't checked the Beetroot, but I think they are a little way off as yet.

Rhubarb, lettuce, cabbage, broad beans, radishes, spring onions, strawberries.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.
