This Monday's harvest was almost exactly the same in variety and volume to last week. Cukes, carrots, and lettuce were the main players here, with the addition of a bunch of delicious-looking collard greens, a couple of cherry tomatoes, and...drum roll... garlic!
This was my first attempt at garlic.
I extensively researched the growing process:
"If you plant a clove of garlic, it'll regrow a whole bulb!"
"Seriously??"
"Yep."
"Sweet!"
No real need to cure them since the bulbs are sort of small and I go through garlic like crazy. I think this fall I'll plant some more to pull next season. Who knows what could happen with a little forethought?
Beans.
Underwhelming.
Harvested a couple of delicious cherries so far.
I am going to need some serious willpower not to eat them all right off of the plants.
The potted plants are ripening; no signs of red on the bedded tomatoes yet.
Loving the herb harvests.
Fresh parsley, basil (holy basil!), thyme, and dill seeds.
I love harvesting herbs, too, because they just keep growing back. That basket holding your herb harvest is really cool-looking, too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it cool that a bulb grows from a clove? Nice!
ReplyDeleteYour bean harvest looks like mine. I get three or four beans. Though now there are a lot of flowers on the vine so I'm expecting better soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you plant each of those cloves, they will also grow into another bulb. The possibilities sound infinitely increasing. I know, I love it too. You should check out potato onions if you haven't already. Also cool.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of everyone's garlic! I have to plant some this fall too. Your harvest looks great!
