It's Harvest Monday again, join the fun at
Daphne's Dandelions. Show us what you've got! Here's what I harvested this week. First, a big bunch of amaranth leaves. This bunch was wilted in olive oil with a bit of bacon and chopped garlic and served as a side dish. Leftovers were scrambled with a couple of eggs.
Next, the first ripe Marconi Purple sweet peppers, a few cherry tomatoes (Isis Candy, Galinas, Black), a Giantesque tomato, Pimento de Padron peppers, basil, and zucchini (of course). The tomatoes, sweet peppers, and basil went into a Tomato and Bread Salad.
And then Piracicaba broccoli shoots, more zucchini, the first Christmas Bell pepper, one little purple tomatillo, more Pimento de Padrons, cherry tomatoes, and a couple of Black Sea Man Tomatoes. It's interesting how the Black Sea Man tomatoes are slightly different colors, off the same plant. That's my very first Christmas Bell pepper (
C. baccatum) ever, it's very sweet and fruity with just a hint of spice, I really liked it. The plant has a lot of pods on it!
Other than what's in the photos I harvested more basil, zucchini, and a few tomatillos as they fell off the plants.

Your harvests look so pretty and so different from mine. You have so many peppers.
