I often boil up pots of kale at the end of the season and when cold freeze it in 1 & 2 person portions for use with dinner. Always freezes and reheats very well.
Harvested 1 strawberry
Coriander, chives, and parsley.
Picked this lunchtime:
A handful of strawberries
A small courgette
A handful of Hurst green shaft peas
A handful of mangetout
Last year's going to seed chard.
Blackcurrants - this is the first year the six new plants have fruited properly and I'm beginning to wonder why I wanted 15 plants!
Harvested the garlic - middling to poor this year. The voles have been eating them for the first time, but no sign of allium leaf miner.
Four more artichokes from the same epic plant!
I seem to harvest the same every day a few mixed lettuce leaves, basil, chives and radishes all for my lunch time sandwich. I'll be glad when I can add toms and cucs though.
Yesterday - the last of the cherries, another 800g making about 2.5kg in all. We lost about a third of the flowers/early fruit to late frosts yet this is the biggest harvest we've had, and largely untouched by birds or insects, so probably a cause for concern rather than celebration once again
Just now its not raining so i nipped in the garden and got.
Nasturtium seeds, radishes, spring onions, radishes, chives, basil, land cress and assorted salad leaves.
