Nice evening here so decided to harvest my 3 pots of garlic and the first of the baby beetroots I'm growing in the mixed (very mixed!) border.  G x



Straight from the pot



Partially cleaned up



Will probally grate into a salad.

Look good to me Georgie.....I will harvest my garlic this weekend....no beetroot ready yet though  :(

Thanks, Mothy.  I dunno much about beetroot, first time I've tried it, but I was told to harvest it young so I have done.   ;D

You've got loads of those little cloves growing up the stems. What varieties are those?

Well done Georgie, they look very good.   ;D ;D

I wish my garlic would split into cloves.   :(

Nice harvest, today I harvested a wheelbarrow full of spuds, lifted due to blight.
Half a barrow full of shallots (so prolific I am not sure why I bother with onions) and the last of my aquadulce broadies.

Aww those garlic scrub up nice don't they?
Where's the plait? ;)
And beetroot looking good too, the cylindrical shape is ideal for grating! :o

Nice looking crops Georgie!  Haven't looked at my beetroot yet but my garlic looks ready now.  Isn't it a brilliant time of year - so satisfying when you can start harvesting.  :) busy_lizzie

It's Thermidrome, Robert.  Thanks to everyone else for their kind comments.  I had a salad for lunch and everything in it (apart from the cheddar  ;)) was home grown.  Had leaf salad, watercress, spring onion, baby spinach, celery and grated beetroot.  It was wonderful.   ;D

...and here it is - before I'd added the cheese and onions.   ;D  G x
