Harvest Monday - 3rd November 2014

By Mwillis
Well, the emphasis of my produce has now definitely switched to the Winter vegetables.
This past week I harvested Parsnips, Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes. Just a few of each.

Potatoes "Pink Fir Apple"


I have written separately about all three of these, and there is not much more to tell, so this post is really just a way of recording the week's harvest in a consolidated fashion.
However, I did also pick a bit more salad, so here are some photos of that.

That is two small Lettuces, two very small Radicchio, and a handful of Landcress. Not a big haul, but certainly enough for a nice salad for two people.

You pick it a few leaves at a time, and the plant produces more. You don't need a lot in a salad because it is quite peppery. It's a good Winter crop because it is fairly hardy, and since the plants are quite small they fit conveniently under even a small cloche.
This is my entry for Harvest Monday, hosted by Daphne's Dandelions,. Have a look to see what some other people have harvested this week...
