Monday Harvest – 21st Nov 2011

I did a lot in the garden this week.  I planted out my capsicums & eggplants, I pulled out the broad beans, and I mulched and mulched and mulched.  I also got around to the occasional harvest.  We had broad beans and more broad beans – our final of the season (plus some very skinny leeks & a radish that’s still in the fridge):

The broad beans were once again used in pasta and also in the green garlic dish I made last Thursday.  Here is the green garlic and the mint I used:

This week I also used some celery and parsley as well as some thyme and bay for stock.

Although I only managed one shot, my most used produce this week was chard.  We had it in curry (again), as well as with salmon and in a a minestrone.  This was (I think) the bunch for the minestrone.

Finally I did manage to photograph a few of the many spring onions which this week were used in both noodles and in salads.

That is all I managed to capture in a week which culminated in a yesterday evening trip to Accident & Emergency, after my partner tripped on our 2 year olds trike and dislocated his shoulder.   Ouch!!!!

For (hopefully) few accidents but a range of exciting harvests head on over to Daphne’s Dandelions, its always fun.
