This plate just makes me smile. I think it's such a beautiful little harvest! And I picked my first carrots and purple sugar snap peas!
I've been picking the last of the onions I planted in my front garden raised beds last autumn, they're small but perfectly formed.
I've only planted a few broad bean plants, so I've not had a massive harvest, but enough to add to some chickpeas to make falafels.
Blueberries started ripening this month too! I've had a fair few little handfuls, enough for Joe to enjoy for breakfast. One of the strawberries in the raised beds has had a few late fruits on.
I made some lovely herby roast potatoes with my homegrown rosemary and thyme - yum!
Speaking of potatoes, I emptied my second pot of Casablanca potaotes, it was definitely worth leaving them in the pot for longer, I got loads more!
I feel like this month has been a happy harvest month, I've eaten so much lovely homegrown food!
How has your garden been this month? Have you had lots to harvest?
These all look amazing! I love the purple peas and red carrots, so unusual!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I like to grow varieties you can't buy in the shops :)
DeleteThey look great. You've inspired me to try and grow something next year. X
ReplyDeleteYey! That's good to hear, I love growing my own food, it's so exciting and it does taste better! :) x
DeleteThose purple snap peas are stunning! And the falafels sound yummy, I need to make some myself soon.
ReplyDeleteThe purple peas are the best, because they're really easy to see and pick :)
DeleteIts a lovely and humbling harvest Susie. I am loving the purple snap peas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shaheen :D
DeleteNice harvest, Susie. I'm particularly intrigued by the purple sugar snaps, didn't know there was such a thing. It's on my list.
ReplyDeleteThanks David. The variety is called 'Shiraz', I love the colour but I've had tastier peas, I think I'll look for something different next year.
DeleteEverything is so cool! I do love the purple sugarsnaps!
ReplyDeleteSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUSSSSSSSSSSIE, THERE IS A COURGETTE ON MY PLANT OUTSIDE AND I CAN SEE MORE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XXX
Yey!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a courgette. Until a slug ate it :'(
DeleteYour onions and potatoes look amazing, and the roasted potato dish sounds so good. Homegrown potatoes are magical, so different then what we get at the store.
ReplyDeleteYou're right! Homegrown potatoes are sooo much better! :)
DeleteBeautiful harvests - those potatoes are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
