Monday Harvest – 26th August 2013

Spring is coming, hurrah, hurrah.  Spring is coming hurrah!  In Australia our seasons run by calendar months with September the 1st being the start of Spring.  The forecast for Sunday is for a partially cloudy day with a top temperature of 23.  A very big hurrah!!!  It’s amazing how often it happens that the first day of Spring is warm.  Wintery conditions usually return not long after, but that lovely first day is soooo welcome.

Anyway, I’m hoping my garden will appreciate it.  I have gone a bit sowing crazy of late.  I sowed 55 different veg varieties yesterday on top of all the tomatoes etc that I sowed in July.  I think this overly enthusiastic sowing is a response to my current lack of things to harvest.  Except for parsley – I have a lot of parsley.

I also have parsnips.  Or to be more accurate I had the first of my parsnip thinning’s to eat.  I pulled these to give the remaining crop more space to grow into.

And those were my rather paultry harvests this week.  Well, actually, I also harvested lettuce, lots of lettuce but none that I photographed.
