In that basket there are a "Predzvest" cabbage, some Runner Beans, three "Boltardy" beetroot, some Scarlet Empire" Runner Beans, and small selection of various tomatoes.
And of course I got some more potatoes. These are "Nicola" again (800g from one pot).
Here they are after washing. They are just as smooth and unblemished as ever.
The tomatoes are "Ferline", and there are two types of chilli - mostly "Nosferatu", but the big one is "Ohnivec". Here is the same selection in scrubbed-up form:
I can't say which varieties the Carrots are, but there are evidently at least two different ones here:
later in the week I pulled another batch of "Boltardy" Beetroot. These were roasted along with some shallots and Thyme, as an accompaniment to roast beef.
These are the "Nosferatu" chillis. I am going to dry these ones and save the seeds for next year.
I managed to assemble about 180g of Raspberries too. Not as many as I would like, but when combined with some Blueberries from the batch I had picked the previous weekend, it was sufficient for a nice dessert for us both.
Looking back at all this, I feel very smug! It feels so satisfying to bring in such a varied harvest. It makes all the hard work at other times of the year seem so much more worthwhile.
Did you get your harvest in before the rain.
ReplyDeleteWell, Yes, mostly. I had been intending to pick more Blueberries today, but it's been raining steadily so that job will have to wait for another occasion.
DeleteThe cabbage is amazing, sadly all my Brassica veg, namely the kale and broccoli have been got at by the pests - blinking white cabbage butterfly, next year I will def. be using netting.
ReplyDeleteI think you should feel smug. You had some really great harvest there. I have not really kept track of mine this year but it has mostly been tomatoes and peppers.
ReplyDeleteYou should feel smug, those carrots look almost perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve to feel smug - must remember to dig up some beetroot
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and varied harvest. I really like that cabbage, hope it is as perfect as it looks.
ReplyDeleteYou truly did get a lovely variety of vegetables this week. I love the color of the beets, so intense. All your gorgeous potato harvests make me want to grow some, even though I'm not a fan. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have some really lovely harvests this week. And so varied too.
ReplyDeleteEnvious of the beetroot. I did not plant any this year and wish I had!
ReplyDeleteI still can't get over your potatoes this season. Beautiful harvests. :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful harvests and beautiful photos, too, Mark! I'm wondering now what you cooked with all those carrots, spuds, beetroots and cabbage! Your tomatoes look huge - mine are all small and unripe still although I dare say that today's deluge of water will probably split them. Time to rethink for next year!
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed!! and a little jealous, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking harvest Mark. Roasted veg is my favourite at this time of year, particularly beetroot and carrots just chopped up, skin on into a tray along with shallots, whole garlic cloves and a few pieces of chorizo - very quick to prepare and an hour or so in the oven, wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes, you have every reason to be proud of such a varied and love harvest. Those potatoes really look perfectly formed and clean!
ReplyDeletemake that 'lovely harvest'.
DeleteThose harvests are lovely, esp. the potatoes...they are perfect!
