Things are finally growing in my garden! These are the first potatoes of the year - it was a mix of varieties. The potatoes aren't quite ready so I just rummaged around in the soil and pulled out some big feeling potatoes without disturbing the plants too much!
I've had my first raspberries. I'm slightly perturbed that these are my 'autumn bliss' raspberries and they're all coming now! Is this climate change? Did I prune them crazy wrong last year? What will I eat in autumn!?
The first strawberries have arrived too, I only eat home grown strawbs so these are a proper treat. The first ever yellow raspberries came, a small total harvest of 5 berries but there's a big cane growing already for next year. Purple snap peas and tons of kale and chard too.
I'm trying to keep up with picking and drying home grown herbs this year, I've picked oregano and mint this month to dry.
I trimmed the onion tops back and ended up with a washing up bowl full of onion tops! I washed and chopped them all, froze two boxes full, and popped another box in the fridge to be used up in stir fries, fritters, Joe's omelettes and I made a particularly delicious green onion pancake too. I thinned out my cabbage seedlings and ate them, because waste not want not.
It's all about the berries though this month, I've been out picking them every day!
That's about it for this month, have you been harvesting much from the garden this month?
