What you harveted so far this year?

[Andy Hamilton]

There seems to be a lot of stuff coming up early this year. So what have you harvested so far?

As of today (may 3rd) I have had purple sprouting broccoli (planted last year), beat spinach (last years plant), radishes, tini tiny lettuce plants, beetroot leaves (alway plant too much so I have some young leaves for salads). Still not too bad for may. I am guessing that you lot down under could beat me on this one

LOL Andy, yes, our downunder summer and autumn harvests should be well in by now. Lots of potatoes and shallots and onions, all kinds of saladings, beets, leeks, walnuts, raspberries and strawberries, carrots etc etc etc. Winter crops now in the ground. Most of my summer and autumn harvests have gone into preserves and soups. (And now I realise I need a larger freezer ... hmmm ...)

Last night my dang cats got to the huge wicker basket of onions and shallots and spread the entire lot from one end of the house to the other! Wicked creatures.

[Biscombe]

Oranges, lemons, nispero, cabbage, cauliflower, broc, lettuce, radish, spring onions, edible flowers, kale. chard, chicory, lots of herbs, tomatoes from the greenhouse, loads of broad beans and soon spuds & tayberries!!!!

Mint:
Pineapple, eau de cologne, peppermint and spearmint (only enough for a cup of tes though - it was harvested from the one on my desk at work).
Sage:
White and curly

I've not had any veg come up yet, probably because i spent too much time digging over and not enough time planting!!

Last night we ate the first 9 french beans! They were delicious. They aren't planted out yet but still in pots and flowering nicely.

One red strawberry!

And early forced rhubarb back in March.

[contadino]

Lemons, radishes, lettuces, a pea mountain, fava beans, chicoria catalugna, cima di r a p e (like brocolli.)

Cherries next. Whey-hey!

Edit: Whoops. Sorry everyone. Didn't mean to offend - it just didn't occur to me. Lovely stuff though. The 90-day type is much better than 30 or 60 day varieties.

P.S. Forgot to mention the fennel and chard too.

Leeks that either self seeded or were left over from the previous tenant! I'll be chopping and blanching about 20 today so I can freeze them as I had to lift them so I could rotovate.

Mod's note: I wondered why there was a line saying "I'm a dirty spammer etc" in your posting, so had a look to see what you had originally written. Unfortunately you can't use that word R A P E as we've had some disturbing spammers using that word so it's gone in the swear word filter and given replacement text!

Deleted.

Radishes are doing well, we've started on the Pak Choi and I pinched a few leaves from the larger lettuces yesterday. Other stuff is starting to grow apace and one of the challenges now is remembering to keep new seeds getting started in time so we have them ready to plug the gaps where other stuff is harvested.

You aren't offending anyone so there is no need to apologise!

[wulf]

Oh! I forgot the herbs! Lots of those are flourishing - mint, rosemary, sage, oregano, sorrel, and more....

Good old herbs!

you all put me to shame...

here in Aotearoa I woke to a beautiful autumn morning with the autumn leaves on the deciduous trees showing off autumn colours. (we have alot of evergreen trees so it never gets very bare here in winter).

Anyway, I've chopped up the tomato plant, planted out picking spinach and a italian brocoli, but my courgette plant and baby squash plant are still going strong, but not producing anything.

Garlic I'll be planting on solstice next month.

Cheers,
Christopher
