Parsley by the hand full.
A few spring onions.
Assorted lettuce leaves.
A Couple of bunches of Pak Choi
Sprigs of rosemary and coriander leaves.
The girls have also layed 14 eggs.
and with all this produce I made the following....................
Soup (two pots) , Quiche, sausage rolls and salads.
Banana bread and scrambled eggs (twice)
I pulled the first of my Beetroots................and we both enjoyed it for
BREAKFAST
There was also celery, apple and carrot in the juice.
And to my surprise while weeding the veggie plot i found....................
10 days from Winter................very unusual !!!
I'm joining in with Daphne who hosts Harvest Monday, where many gardener's from around the globe share what they have been harvesting , preserving or cooking........................
What have you been harvesting this week?
Hey Andrea, nice to still be getting fresh produce from your garden and cooking up a storm with it......
ReplyDelete14 eggs, I'm jealous....I've only got 3 chooks, but not one of them is laying, grrr...... shall have to tell them about your girls!
Love the colour of the beetroot juice, never tried it but, sounds good.
Claire :}
I have 1 old chook who keeps the 4 younger ones in line and then i have 2 which are in their 2nd year and they are the ones that are laying, usually 2 a day.
DeleteSounds like you're a busy lady Andrea! Strawberries in the garden still! I'm very impressed (read jealous).
ReplyDeleteI'm only harvesting herbs and greens from my garden - thyme, oregano, rosemary and rocket. Not much but tasty enough!
Phoebe it was more than a fluke than any work on my behalf for that strawberry, its the mild weather we have been enjoying.
DeleteIv'e never had this much growing at this time of year in my garden before but have been following vegplottings 52 week challenge and trying hard to keep up successive plantings.....
That looks like a nice and healthy juice to start the day off, pretty colour too.
ReplyDeleteWow 14 eggs is a great effort from your girls. I'm lucky to get an egg every couple of days so I do have to buy eggs occasionally but they have an excuse they are getting a bit old.
Not a lot of harvesting happening here this week but I have been doing some planting and there is lots in there now so I'm hoping they all grow well so we will have lots to eat and not as much to buy.:)
I have been enjoying using the fresh eggs they taste so good but wondering when the girls are going to go on strike over winter. Hopefully i can entice them with warm mash and some left over porridge.
DeleteNice juice....
ReplyDeleteThanks it did taste good, trying hard to eat lots of fruit and juices to ward off any of those winter bugs that might come our way.............
DeleteYour juice is beautiful...really looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteOur first flush of spring strawberries are flowering and setting fruit - cannot wait. I bet you popped your suprise found strawberry right in you mouth after that picture was taken. I know I would have. :D
ReplyDeleteYep i did but alas it wasn't that sweet!!
DeleteWhat a pretty beet! Lovely surprise berry; I get a few every couple of days, but don't have many plants yet.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of juicing a beetroot. Was it nice?
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice young beetroot so it tasted great, mixed with the other veggies and fruits.
DeleteGreat harvest :) I wish you had more pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susana, more pics next time!
DeleteI'm a bit behind with the blog reading Andrea, it's taken me a while to get here. Your harvest sounds great, but that juice takes the cake, I bet it was the perfect start to the day, yum!
