Monday Harvest – 27th Feb 2012

This update covers harvests over the last couple of weeks.

This is an interesting variety of rockmelon called Minnesota Midget. The fruit are much smaller than regular rockmelons but taste the same:

In additional to the Kipfler potatoes I grew a variety called Pink Eye. The overall yield and size of each potato is less than I was expecting. They are tasty though, so I'll try growing in a sunnier location next time.

As part of a mixed variety of capsicums the first variety to be harvested was a deep chocolate coloured capsicum. They are not the sweetest variety though, so I'll avoid them in the future.
