My harvest this week is a good example of the "quantity isn't everything" principle. It consists simply of this plate of Mesclun:
Yes, well, before you laugh can I just mention QUALITY?
I don't normally weigh a harvest so blatantly small, so I shall gloss quickly over that aspect in order to mention that this little harvest is actually the 5th (and final) cut I have taken from that tray of Mesclun that I originally sowed just before Christmas!
How about this view? Does that look appetising, or what?
Notice that I have homed-in on my favourite element of the mix - the celery leaf!
Considering that this was only half of a pack of seeds that came free on the cover of Grow your Own magazine, I think I have done very well!
To see what everybody else has been harvesting, visit Harvest Monday over on Daphne's Dandelions.
I'd never laugh at your harvests, mark
ReplyDeleteOh I don't laugh. Since I've got no harvests right now any small bit would be welcome. Since we still seem stuck in early February weather, I don't see my garden starting anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteFor half a packet you've had a lot of harvests from your mix.
ReplyDeleteAnything home grown is worthy of a post of its own. This little packet of seeds has given you some delicious food, and even better is that they were free on the cover of a magazine.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a good salad mix and I like the herbs I can see in it - must have quite an aromatic flavour. I think I'd laugh at my own harvests way before yours!
ReplyDeleteLooks great to me. I think I am going to do some pots with greens in the greenhouse and see how well they do. I wish they would give away free seeds on our magazines.
