Todays Harvest - my first harvest post

Having only started this allotment malarky back in may i'm amazed that we have even go this far.

We have been eating our own lettuce and radish for a while, but we got a good harvest today..

We picked our coriander seeds ready for drying, we have some dill in flower too for the same purpose



Next some carrot thinnings and beetroot.



And some more lettuce and our first peas to make it out of the allotment!



We also had an explore and found some deserted land, being only in shorts i got stung to bits, but it was worth it, we picked 650g of ripe blackberries



There must be 10,000 or more berries in there, and as it seems no one goes in there we will be harvesting to our hearts content for the next month!!

Hi Rowan

Good Beets. Hope mine are as good.

Worth the effort isn't it?

PUP!

fantastic harvest and already getting blackberries! sounds like a great piece of land to rummage for them too!

My cultivated blackberries are weeks away from harvesting yet, jealous here!  Mind you I think that picking wild berries seems to be going out of fashion, I often see thousands just left on bushes near me.  time was they'd have been stripped even if only by kids scrumping.  got some tiny weeny little swedes too so looking forward to those when bigger and am roasting some spuds as I write as they are too floury now to boil sadly.  but like you am hoping next year to be more informed and better prepared.
