What are you actually harvesting?

[Peggy Sue]

I'm still picking Pak Choi (to my surprise!), hamberg parsley, loads of cabbage and broccoli not forgetting carrots and parsnips

[ina]

Parsley, kale, Jerusalem artichokes - celery that never was (mainly leaves, but good for soups).

[Archie]

Down to just parsnips now in the garden, but an absolute ton of foraged cooking apples in store.
Plus the freezer green beans mainly and blackberries and cherries.
No sure if I should bring in some apples from the store. Will they take the frost, even tho in covered trays.?

[Peggy Sue]

Ooo I inherited some rejected celery when I took over our second allotment plot. I made gallons of soup which is yummy, and I use it as stock too for tasty casseroles. Amazing what some people will throw away.... he was alos throwing the hamburg parsley and Jeruselum artichokes that I'm still enjoying!

[Millymollymandy]

I can't harvest anything as it is all so horribly frozen solid. I just hope it defrosts out there before Xmas, or I'll have to do a mad dash to the supermarket and battle the crowds to get some veg!

Or send your husband out with a pickaxe...

[Millymollymandy]

Roasted carrot splinters, anyone?

We are at a different seasonal point but have had a very slow start to the season with lots of rain keeping the soil cold as well as late frosts. We have a short season and our last definite and sure plant is around end of Dec - still plant some seed into Jan and certain quick growers into Feb but then its just see how it goes.

Back to harvest though - at the moment Asparagus, Globe Artichokes, Broad Beans, Peas, Spinach, Parsnips, Beetroot, Asian Greens - can't remember the name at the moment, Strawberry Spinach and the first of our new season potatoes. Lettuce is good at the moment as well as radish. Our berries are on line now so raspberries, loganberries, blackberries (almost ready) blueberries and currents.

We have our new season (including next winter veges)are starting to grow so things like corn, tomatoes, squash of various types, pumpkins, beans, more peas, more potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, more beetroot, carrots, more asian greens of various types oh! and forgot to mention the swede (I am married to a Cornishman, after all

Many things are going to seed now - ready for next season.

I am enjoying the site and hearing what others are doing in their gardens.

[Jandra]

Brussels sprouts and curly kale.

Still parsnips in the ground, but they'll have frozen, I'm sure. We've had continuous frost for a few days now. Frozen parsnip splinters....

Because we only moved in August to a veg plot-less garden I am now in the sad position of harvesting NOTHING . I hate having to buy veg when I have usually grown my own.

But on a bright note the veg patch has been started and contains the world's smallest leeks and cabbages.

AND ....... my polytunnel arrived today . Just got to get the thing built now.........

[red]

oo polytunnel envy

harvested some leeks a day or so ago. pretty small, but made nice soup

[Green Rosie]

[Wombat]

Onions, carrots, corn, zuchinni, squash, greens of various sorts, broccoli, a bit of lettuce but the snails hyave takne their toll. We are usually eating our own tomatoes by now but the low light levels with all the clouds, mean green tomatoes!

My lettice is still going strong, it's in a raised bed, and even though we've had perma frost just before Xmas (the soil in the bed was all raised up and cracked), I managed to harvest some more. It's a mix of rocket, lambs lettice, and from a packet of mixed winter leaves (T&M) things like tatsoi,mirzuma etc which have gone very peppery. Also my cut and come again which I left going from a late sowing is still proving leaves!.

In the lottie
Leeks, savoy cabbage (January King), the last of my celery (I fleeced it toward the end of December), the late sown Fennel has grown to "baby" fennel size , but I'm leaving that to see if it takes off in spring.

In a cold east facing lean to green house I planted some corriander in November as I remember 3M saying it's quite hardy, and the stuff is now up and around 5cm high! I think I'm going to try more herbs like this to get an eary start. Plus some more lettice's.
