[Ma and Pa Snip]

Last Saturday's harvest:

Thats big cousin Hardy, we lost touch with him.

We can now enter his demise on the family tree, its the one behind the greenhouse.


All we've had so far are a few sticks of rhubarb, very few.

I've been using thyme & sage from my garden all winter in home-made soups & stews. Gave both a really good "haircut" today of all the dead  & leggy stuff.  New growth is emerging at the base of the sage . Might have to start a new thyme plant tho'

We have just eaten the last of our leeks

In the last couple of weeks I have had curly kale, the last of the pencil size leeks, a few different types of oriental salad leaves (poly-tunnel) and the rhubarb that I forced.

[sarajane]

the last of the parssnips and leeks but loads of rhubarb and chives.  Also got a small bed of wild garlic, ransomes I think they are called.  Leaves are great replacement for garlic t the moment.

Today is my first harvest of the year.  A few radish, some lettuce, rocket and some chives. All heading for todays picnic.

[arugula]

Lovely JaK well done!

Nothing much in for us to harvest at the moment.  Lettuce and radish going in this weekend though.

Did bring home some lovely rhubarb this afternoon though, which is in the oven now covered with brown sugar and orange.  Yum.

[Composto]

Picked the first of the radish today and shallots, and I always grow an extra row of shallots so we can use them at this time as spring onions, the green leaves are really hot, lovely!

[aqua]

cropped the weedy looking leeks left by old plot holder (would of happily let her keep them).

I am proud of myself I have frozen them according to this site's recipe.

wow that is an enormous parsnip.

[pigeonpie]

Awesome parsnip Yorkie!

We finished the last of the parsnips last weekend and the kale has finally given up but we have enjoyed rhubarb (got a rhubarb clafoutis in the oven as I type) and the perpetual spinach that has grown back surprisingly well after having been grazed by the chickens all winter.  And the ham that is currently boiling has some of last years onions as well as some thyme, sage and bay from the garden for extra flavour.

I can't wait to get back to dining from the garden properly, I'm watching the peas grow every day and almost salivating at the thought of them raw and straight from the pod!

Harvested the first of the salad leaves which were really tender and tasty.
