Harvest Monday

The delicious Dragon Tongue beans have started to come in; a few favas from my failed experiment and some tasty shelling peas.
I can't get enough of those purple raspberries!  While camping last week, we found tons of them on a hike, along with so many mulberries.
Another representative salad featuring kale, chard, lettuces, herbs, beans, peas, small carrots, onion greens; the last cherries, some kohlrabi and an onion.  More onions are to come: I just needed one at the moment and so picked it before the others.

My best pea harvest ever!  Usually, the peas never make it into the house, as we just snack on them while we're out in the yard; but this year, cha-ching!  I loved sitting out on the balcony, shelling them... like so many do around the world.
All from the dacha:  rat-tailed radishes, a few peppers, potatoes, the peas I shelled above, carrots from a thinning, a pile of purslane, lots of chrysanthemum greens, and that pretty bouquet.
40+ heads of garlic; a few more beans; and another bowlful of raspberries, which we promptly ate for dessert

  1. Quite a variety in your harvest! Always looks good when it is all laid out and tastes better.

  2. Those favas look pretty good - what happened in your experiment?

    I grew my first shelling peas this year - reminded me of shelling them in my grandmothers kitchen.

  4. Our peas have done really well this year too - I should say are doing.
