Monday Harvest – 24th Dec 2012

I feel like my harvest this week should be a nice festive mix of red, white and green.  However, the closest I get to either red or white is this onion –  The first of my onion harvest for this year.  I would have left it in the ground for longer expect I ran out of onions at a vital stage of dinner preparation.

I’m  not sure how pleased I’m going to be with this years onions.  I’ll give them another few weeks before I pass judgement though .   What I am reasonably pleased with is the zucchini which is producing well although I am getting a few rotting from the flower end after the flowers drop off.

I guess salad bowl red lettuce is kind of red, in a purpley sort of way.  It is the best performing lettuce in my garden at the moment.  My wild rocket is also doing very well.

My final picture for this week (I have been out a lot, hence minimal pictures) is mint.  I have been making a lot of salads lately and using mint in most of them.

Those were my harvests for this week – for more head over to Daphne’s.  A very happy holiday season to all.  Merry Christmas!
