Monday Harvest – 19th Dec 2011

In the grand tradition of garden blogging, Monday Harvests detail what I've harvested in the past week.

The first harvest of green beans yielded 437g from 33 closely spaced plants.

Next we have some beetroot (variety Burpees Golden) and carrot:

Which were sliced using a mandoline:

Then fried in oil to become yummy chips:

The carrots were especially sweet tasting. The beetroot had a hint of original beetroot flavour.

Also harvested in the past week was some basil, outer leaves of Cos lettuce, a spring onion and some alpine strawberries.

  1. Nice looking beans. You are harvesting your first harvest and I have put my garden to bed for the winter.
