I don't always take pics of the things I harvest from the garden, but I am trying this year to document more about the harvesting. I do weight the produce and plan to keep tallying that up each month, and am already half way to my goal for the year so I need to revise that goal I think! lol! Anyway here are some harvest pics from February starting with Collard Greens, oranges and Broccoli:
Next up are a couple of radish and some beet greens. It was the first time trying beet greens and they are YUMMY! Plus a 2 for 1 veggie in edible root and leaves so well worth it!
Next up is my mutant plant: Mustard Greens. This grew VERY well here! As did the collard greens. Both overtook there alloted area and thank heavens I finally got around to trying them. I like them both, but prefer the collards and beet greens I think.
February was a month of firsts for trying the veg, and I tried swiss chard. Pretty much like a lettuce only more substance to it. Definitely worth growing and I need to look into seeing how heat tolerant it is. I believe it does ok and should be good for salads in summer when we can't grow lettuce (though I am gonna attempt an experiment naturally, lol).
Notice the tomato! Yep I am harvesting tomatoes still! Not many, probably 1 or 2 a month from the remaining plant I had left. That was an experiment (and laziness on my part as I couldn't be bothered to remove the plant from the container). Plus the amazing thing is the plant flowered in Feb too!!! This was a surprising fact and definitely means I'll be overwintering a couple of tomato plants this year too! I will say they didn't taste as nice as summer toms but still better than store bought!
That about wraps up the harvest pics I think, I'll try to take more this month!
