Harvest Monday

I haven't been photographing much lately, as I tend to harvest as needed, making for less-than-impressive photos.  We have had radishes, lots of salads (of deer tongue lettuce, chrysanthEmum greens, chard, herbs), turnips, green garlic, garlic scapes, green onions, peas, and kale.

We have a salad like the above probably every other day.  We eat the garlic scapes, raw, as a snack; I have pickled some; and I have made Daphne's garlic scape dressing, which went over very well last night.

Most of the turnips we have eaten raw for lunch.  Above you will see a jarful that I pickled and which are delicious after three days!

I am really excited about the large cherry harvest awaiting me, the TONS of raspberries and the few, but gorgeous, currants, TONS of grapes, garlic and onions!  I have never successfully grown a nice, large, tasty onion, let alone a crop of them; but this is the year.  I started the seeds in January and they are starting to bulb up already.  I am really excited!

Enjoy perusing others' harvest at Daphne's Dandelions.

    Good luck with the onions! I've grown them for a number of years with only one year that I could call successful. But I keep on trying because they are so great when it works out!

    I bet you can't wait for those cherries. It is one fruit that I would love to have but don't in the yard. The only place I could have planted one was in the rock wall garden and they would have been way too hard to pick there. So I stuck with the bigger fruit.

    I wish we could manage even a medium cherry harvest, The wood pigeons devastated the leaves on our plot tree.

    I grew onions for the first time last year - it was almost like magic watching them get bigger and bigger.

    Starting onions in january - great idea! In my zone, I'll be better off starting them in the fall and letting them hibernate over winter. The soil freezes solid in my neck of the woods.
