Harvest Monday is hosted by Daphne on her blog Daphne's Dandelions, head on over there if you want to see some tomatoes, you won't find them here yet.
I know I shouldn't complain, but I will, not even a cherry tomato yet...
Yes it is hard to believe August is here. Your harvest list sounds spring like. Hope those first tomatoes come soon.
ReplyDeleteYou may not have harvested any tomatoes yet, but you have evidently harvested some premier and some very unusual veg. I don't expect many people grow capers!
ReplyDeleteTwo Carbons and one Ernie's Round tomatoes so far. And we are much hotter than your place. Great capers production though. Last winter we cut the plant to the ground and it's back in full glory. We've discovered we like the berries better than the buds so this allows us to enjoy the flowers. Used your salt brine recipe and are storing them in vermouth. Tasty appetizer or snack.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your summer soon before it is all over.
ReplyDeleteThose peas look lovely, even if they aren't tomatoes....
ReplyDeleteHa ha! You do have a pretty green plate there! But you have squash, I have tomatoes, but no squash!
ReplyDeleteIt's a strange summer here too, although tomatoes and aubergines were earlier than usual. It looks as though you have some lovely vegetables while you wait for the summer crops and it's a very beautiful arrangement.
ReplyDeleteWow Michelle, I find your growing climate really interesting. It's amazing how some of your crops are so much earlier than ours and then others are later. Maybe it's because you don't experience the hot and cold extremes that we do.
ReplyDeleteYup, it's August, I'll be happy to exchange some of my eggplants, beans, and squashes for your capers :)
ReplyDeleteIf nothing else your harvest made me very happy as I now know a lot more about growing capers than I did before I looked at your blog! Hope you get some tomatoes soon!
