Harvest Monday - February 4, 2019

We had some very nice weather last week which allowed me to get some work done in the garden and I managed a few harvests. But the last few days have been very wet and at times very windy so work and harvests have stopped for a few days. More rain is on the way though so I doubt that I'll get much done in the garden this week.

The most notable harvest was the Amsterdam Prickly Seeded spinach. It was starting to bolt so I cut it all and netted about 3/4 pound of leaves. That was enough to make a gratin that also included ricotta, feta, and eggs.

The Brussels sprouts are finally starting to size up. The broccoli shoots keep shrinking. And the parsnips are holding well. I removed the rat protection from around the broccoli as part of my garden cleanup which left the plants exposed for a few nights and miracle of miracles the broccoli was not munched. Perhaps the rodents are hibernating.

Also harvested was one more head of Queen of Crunch lettuce which escaped the camera.

Harvest Monday is hosted by Dave on his blog Our Happy Acres. Head on over there to see what other garden bloggers have been harvesting lately.
