What are you harvesting?

[Ophi]

We will have a potato and bean curry today with green beans and sliced tomatoes from the freezer, and we still have a fair few curry ingredients left for other days.  Still eating green tomato sauce, various chutneys, jam, and bottled plums.

Lunch today will be good bread with steamed purple sprouting broccoli.

We also have some leeks left for a few more Ma Po and I am please that the Welsh Leeks are plentiful enough so that we can substitute them for the spring onions in the recipe.

Oh and there are a couple of squashes left that will be OK for roasting, risotto, pie, or soup.  I finally worked out a place to store them indoors  :) away from too much heating.

Our first full year at the allotment has given us much pleasure.

Cabbage and I still have four squashes left in storage.

Still got 1/2 a bag of desiree, few shoots on them but they're still useable, plus a couple of swede and some leeks. New salad leaves and walking onions going strong  ;D

Reading at your list of things to eat...it does sound like you have done well and getting pleasure out of it. Just wait what the second full year at the lottie will bring along.. ;) ;D..even better!

Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts

Unfortunately PSB, overwintering lettuce, cress, some kale and endives died in the last bout of severe frost, but rocket, red mustard, newly sown cress, lambs lettuce and mispoona are doing well. 

Turnip tops surprisingly came through winter under a cloche and are a welcome kale substitute now.  Even half the chard perished in the cold spell, never seen that before.  But there is plenty of rocket, the transplanted lettuces will soon be available for picking leaf by leaf and the black winter radishes have kept going well under cloches.  There is still a good amount of squash on the windowsill.  Tromboncino, Todo el Ano (with a tilde over the n, otherwise apparently the name is rude), Sweet Meat and one Buttercup are still unblemished.  And I am using a lot of garlic too, as last year's harvest was good.

Very inspiring to see everybody's list.  We need a 'refresher' for this thread when it comes to sowing overwintering veg from late July to September.  And a reminder to fleece PSB and kales just in case we get a third very cold winter.
