Mondays Harvest

Yesterday was the day to remove all plants which had finished producing or were looking tired and worn out (bit like me after being on the end of a hoe all day but thats another story)  due to lack of rain and yes i admit a bit of attention too.

Last plants to remove today was the corn after harvesting the last of the cobs, all small but still plump and hopefully tasty for our tea tonight. Will also make a little relish which has become a bit of an obsession of mine lately!

                                                                     12 little cobs


Whilst weeding and digging over the soil i accidently chopped through the vine of my butternut pumkin,
normally i wouldn't harvest them for a couple more weeks so lets hope this little beauty has had enough sunshine.


Only pumkin plant that ended up producing fruit and as you can see there's 3 more on the plant  so i'm happy with that!




And the last of today's harvest are plenty of cherry tomatoes these will go in tomorrow nights dinner of Risotto made to Barb's delish recipe found here.

  1. My pumpkins didn't produce this year, so I am very jealous of your butternut.
