Harvest Monday

This weeks harvest has included the much anticipated Romanesco broccoli




                    second head picked weighed just on 400grms

            steamed and light in flavor which was surprising but quite nice.   



The girls continue to lay eggs each day they don't seem to mind the constant rain and drizzle and I'm enjoying one each morning for breaky..................




I have one particularly smart hen who always is first to greet me when i visit the coop each morning,if I'm carrying a plastic bag with scraps she jumps up and pecks at the bag, if i move the water dish she's quick to look for any worms underneath. 
One morning she was quick to sneak out the coop gate so I let her join me while i weeded the garden, as soon as I turned the soil or pulled a weed she swooped and got her worm.
After about and hour she headed off to sit beside the coop door to join her mates or brag about her morning tea.

Joining in with Daphne  and her weekly Harvest Monday post,
Sharing what's been picked from the plot.............
Preparing, cooking, preserving and enjoying the harvest.........

Hope you all have a great week.
