The beetroot that were grazed off by the Wallaby earlier in the season have managed despite their mauling to survive and their roots are now thickening. This last week I decided to pick a few - they are small but I always deliberately over plant beetroot and use the first pickings to thin the crop. As time goes on the roots will become bigger as more space is made for others.
I have also been picking zucchinis determined to get most from this crop before the frost shuts it down.
Other pickings this week have been peaches - lovely white ones,
loads of rocket, some radish, herbs and some chillies which are getting strung up to dry.
and the first four snow peas, only two pictured here as I quickly ate the other two - they often don't make it inside.
I am contributing this to Daphne's Harvest Monday. My harvest is pretty meagre for this time of the year for Southerners. I am sure that others who occupy this half of the globe will have much more produce to show you.
Great harvest! lovely bright shiny zucchini and I'm a little jealous of your chillies....
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to finally get a little produce. The zukes are very shiny arent they?
DeleteHow perfect do those 3 shiny, even sized zucchinis look, compared to the ones you photographed a few weeks back that actually won a prize at the show?! Great beetroot harvest too, I love eating beetroots young, they are so tasty at that stage.
ReplyDeleteI have decided that I will be entering 3 zucchinis under 18cms in next year's Gundagai Show. Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I am thinking of growing three different colour types ( yellow, pale green and dark green) to aim for a mixed coloured 3 zucchini submission.
DeleteI really must sow some peas. In fact there are any number of things I really should get round to sowing, or planting...like a peach tree I am very jealous of yours.
ReplyDeleteTo date I have only grown snow peas. This year I am also raising sugar snaps. I am a little worried that in my climate I should be growing them in summer... I suspect that frost on the flowers might be a problem... let's see.
DeleteYum. I wish I could grow snowpeas! Mine always get eaten by bugs. Its cruel! Your peach harvests are amazing.
ReplyDeleteYummy. Love all the beautiful colors! TFS.
