One carrot pulled (yes one) - for making soup and one parsnip (under size). Grown in a veg box, pictured below. I only wanted one of each but can't wait to harvest more.
Variety:
Carrot 'James Scarlet Intermediate', Mr Fothergill's seeds.
Variety:
Parsnip, Carters Tested Seeds.

| An interesting looking broccoli - I forgot I'd sown this. Not sure when to harvest? It doesn't look too productive like the seed pack (pictured below). Also some pest damage. |
Blackberries are starting to ripen on the thornless blackberry plant.
 |
| My prize cabbage; the others are being eaten by pests.Cabbage 'Golden Acre/Primo III', Mr Fothergill's seeds. Sown 3 April 2011 indoor. (Planted outside mid-June; netted). |
 |
| Radish are always welcome! Variety: Radish 'Scarlet Globe', Mr Fothergill's seeds. |
Some ingredients for cooking at the weekend:
- Celery.
- Kale Curly Scarlet.
- Kale 'Nero di Toscana'.
- Broccoli '(Autumn) 'Green Calabrese'.
- Courgette (yellow zucchini) 'Soleil F1'.
Your broccoli is over-mature; you need to harvest it before the flowers open. But you've obviously made a huge improvement on the Radish front! What a difference to those over-peppery ones you had earlier this year...
ReplyDeleteThe cabbage looks like a fine specimen too. You must describe for us how you cook and eat it!
You're doing brilliantly with your veg garden, such a variety to harvest. I can't wait to lift some of my parsnips, they're mine and my daughter's favourites, she'd eat them by the plateful if I let her.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great! I so want at least one cabbage from my garden to look like that!
ReplyDeleteLooks good. I had somewhat the same experience with my Romanesco Veronica Broccoli. I grew it a few years ago, it was just like the package and tasted wonderful. This year I obviously got a package of mislabeled seed - it was just early broccoli, and tiny heads that seeds as soon as they appeared - not the wonderful swirly alien looking heads that they should be.
ReplyDeleteI see a really got pot of soup in the making with a delicious salad next to it. You do so well with your container gardening. We always buy sets that are so expensive, so we really have to learn how to start seeds successfully. You are amazing at starting seeds and raising them to harvest.
ReplyDeleteVery good and fresh vegetables! This is my firs time to see balckberry bush!
ReplyDeleteIt will soon be time for me to start making warming winter soups although it seems that we are due a mini warm spell.
ReplyDeleteYou've got quite a bit of harvest, and such variety! You've done very well on your vegetable garden. Wish mine had done as well as yours! I agree - that cabbage looks like it could win a prize!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your harvest is very nice, colorful and healthy looking. Your radishes turned out quite well this time and that cabbage is beautiful. Happy cooking!
ReplyDeleteThat harvest look great! I want to try growing some carrots as well.
ReplyDeleteYour harvest is looking really good, Kelli and that is one bumper carrot. I'm too impatient and tend to pull them when they're small. I grow Romanesco for their aesthetic appeal as well as their taste and all of mine bolted, every one!
ReplyDeleteYou always have a high success rate growing cabbage! That is a very nice carrot size! A very busy harvest season in your garden. So productive. Nice harvest.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks very fruitful - well done!
