A little fennel - this bulb was picked as a baby fennel lightly sautéed to accompany a meal.
LOADS of parsley, loads and loads - parsley with everything. At present I only have curled parsley.
More broccoli and the first of the cauliflower,
a rather pathetically small cauli, sigh!
A wonderful wombok,
much admired by Muriel the chicken,
Rocket, loads of rocket and a little rosemary. This rocket made a salad of rocket, shaved pecorino, garlic oil and lemon juice. It was fantastic.
It feels great to finally have so much produce. As a result, I have decided I don't need to buy any greens at all for the foreseeable. I have this produce and more coming thru. Finally after a horribly hard summer with almost no produce at all, this little pile of produce feels like true bounty.
How is your produce going? I am contributing this to Daphne's Harvest Monday, pop over and see the produce of others - there will be a little list of links to others' growings when the world turns a little more.
Yay - very exciting. I have a similar size cauli that I think I will pick tomorrow. They clearly only want to be small this year... Your fennel looks perfect - really beautiful. How long does it take to reach that size?
ReplyDeleteMust be a small cauli year... I think I started raising this fennel from seed in February. I normally don't pick it this early but the meal demanded it.

DeleteGreat Winter Harvest Louise! that wombok is a beauty and what a treat to have lots of fresh parsley..........I was a little slow getting in my autumn plantings so pickings are a little slim from our patch. Hope you have received lots of rain......What a summer!!
ReplyDeleteFinally I feel I am getting somewhere. I don't think you can ever have too much parsley but I do need to get some flat parsley going. I have recently received heaps of really grate rain, thanks and more due tomorrow.
DeleteGorgeous harvest, and great to see all your work is coming to fruition. I'm sure all the carted sheep poo must be doing its job!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting there and starting to build my permanent beds. Today O carted three loads of manure - two loads from under the shearing shed and another load of bull pooh from my neighbours bull yards.
