Harvest Monday - 13th July 2015

By Mwillis
This is the time of year when the veg-plot is most productive. I like it when I can take photos of several different veg harvests simultaneously!

This time I have "Ice Queen" Lettuce,

..."De Ciccio" Broccoli,

...Strawberries and Radishes.


I also have "Modrava" kohlrabi, "Kelly" carrots and the first of the "Mini Munch" cucumbers.


I am of course still harvesting potatoes as and when required. These are more of the "Balmoral" ones.

The tubers are individually much larger then the previous batch, and there were very few "Tiddlers".

These ones are the first of my "Charlotte":

I picked the last significant batch of Broad Beans (800g). These were almost all "Imperial Green Longpod".

The Strawberries have done very well. There are never very many at one time, but little batches like this every couple of days. We tend to eat them mixed in with other (shop-bought) fruit, like peaches and nectarines.

This week I also harvested the first of my Beetroot ("Boltardy").

Unfortunately, despite their name, some of the plants have bolted. I'm sure it is related to the very variable weather. Still, there are enough unbolted ones to provide us with a few meals.

This is one of those "Elyburg" Lettuces.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this type. Its leaves are a bit on the tough side for my liking. Only the smallest inner leaves were attractive.
