Harvest Monday - 26 May 2014

For some reason the name "Petit Pois a la Francaise" sprung to mind when I was putting this post together. It's the name of a dish consisting of peas cooked with lettuce and onions, in a stock. No, I'm not going to give you a recipe for it (Mr.Google will help if you want...), it's just that I remembered the recipe as I was looking through the photos I had just taken. Photographs of peas happened to be next to photographs of lettuce. So that's the way I'll present them here...
This is my entry for Harvest Monday this week. To be honest, the harvest has been pretty thin, consisting mostly of lettuce (if you discount the herbs, of course, which are more or less a Given). But what was lacking in quantity was amply compensated for in terms of quality. This is a GOOD-LOOKING lettuce!

"Cervanek"

So good in fact that it got picked...

And eaten...

There are plenty more where that came from.

Lettuces - mostly "Devin" and "Cervanek"

Lettuces "Green Oak Leak" and "Marvel of Four Seasons", and tiny Endive in the foreground

In the foreground here is lettuce "Can-Can".



Reminds me of trying to squeeze into a T-shirt I wore 10 years ago!

I think that next week I may be able to report having eaten the first few peas.
