Harvest Monday - 22nd Feb 2016

By Mwillis
My harvest this week is feeble. Just a few salad leaves!

They were not enough to make a complete salad on their own, so they were boosted with some shop-bought stuff - Little Gem lettuce, Watercress, Radishes and Mustard-and-Cress.

This salad was the "Salade aux Lardons" that we had with our special meal on Saturday evening. Here you see it shortly after the dressing was added. The dressing is made with fried lardons (bacon or pancetta cubes), to which some sharp red wine vinegar is added. When you pour the dressing over the salad, the leaves wilt a bit, so you have to eat up quickly!

I haven't harvested any more PSB, because we are still using up what I cut last weekend. Here is some being served with our roast beef and Yorkshire pudding...

It will be some while before I get any more significant harvests from my garden. I am now in sowing and planting mode, not harvesting.
A late addition to my post: I snipped a handful of fresh young Chives to add to a tomato salad. I reckon that counts as a harvest, don't you?

Why not drop by Our Happy Acres and see if Dave or anyone else has had some harvests this week.
