This week's harvest consisted of the last of the broccoli, along with snow and sugar snap peas.

More peas, more than I can use really. I wonder if you can freeze them. The first asparagus spears were picked and enjoyed, as well as the smallest cauliflower I've ever seen.
I forgot to weigh it but the basket it is sitting in is only 23 x 20 cm (9 x 8 inches) which should give you some idea of how small it was.
The only other thing harvested this week were potatoes. From the twelve plants that grew I only got 5.94kgs, I was more than a little disappointed.
I had planted four different varieties (Cream Delight, Red Pontiac, Purple Kestrel and Golden Delight)but I ended up with mostly Cream Delight, a few Red Pontiac, one Purple Kestrel, there was no sign of the Golden Delight at all. Next year I think I will grow them in wire cages, maybe that will improve my chances of a bigger harvest. Linking up to Daphne's Dandelions
That's a lovely harvest! The cauliflower may be small but it looks absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteWould you be able to blanch the peas then freeze them?
I have done a bit of research since I wrote this post, and yes they can be frozen, so guess what I will be doing this weekend.

ReplyDeleteI envy you Bev, I wish it was just coming into autumn here; I do enjoy the hot weather at all.
