Harvest Monday is hosted by
Daphne's Dandelions. It's a great way to show off your harvest and see what everyone else is picking.
The weeks harvest was mostly greens, with a bigger radish harvest.

| 'White Icicle' and 'Zlata' radish. |
 |
| A sampling of the 'Siamese Dragon Thai Green Mix'. |
 |
| Baby lettuce and Swiss chard. |
 |
| 'Scarlet' spinach. |
 |
| About one pound of spinach, most of the leaves are huge. |
 |
| A representative sized leaf from 'Giant Nobel'. Most of the leaves are now growing to this size in a week! |
I did not harvest any arugula this weekend. I'll be saving that to pick through out the week.
That's some great spinach you have there! I hope that my spring spinach takes off. Time will tell. Now, I have to go feed your fish!
ReplyDeleteRobin, I'm amazed at how good the spinach has been doing. I just hope that I can repeat the sucess next year. I'm glad someone is feeding the fish!
DeleteThat's a great spinach! I will have to try some next spring . How were those radishes on taste? I'm looking for radish that is very sweet and not too peppery so I can get my hubby to eat them.
ReplyDeleteJenny, the White Icicle radish are hot. Zlata is milder but still has it's moments with heat. I just read somewhere that Watermelon radish is supposed to be very mild.
DeleteBeautiful harvest. My Tyee spinach leaves get that big, but the Olympia spinach is smaller. I find the large leaves make for some easy picking.
ReplyDeleteThanks Daphne. I've always grown Tyee but the leaves were always small. It was directed seeded, so that is probably the reason. Next year I want to try pre-sprouting and transplanting Tyee and Renegade.

ReplyDeleteI'll send you mine!!! Oh, I pulled it out and planted more carrots....sorry ;-)
No need to appologize. I have more than enough arugula. Besides what three plants produced never would have made it in from the garden!!! I have to nosh on something when I'm out in the garden.
DeleteYou are a fellow Marylander. My spinach is not that big leaf variety but I got some from my mother's garden that was that large and very good, too.
ReplyDeleteWow that's some big healthy spinach you have there, must be the mountain air.........How big are your carrots?
ReplyDeleteAndrea, my carrots are just getting their first leaves. I'm hoping that this will be the first year I get good carrots too.
DeleteWow that is some huge spinach. I will have to remember that one for this fall! Love all the pretty colors and shapes of your greens.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! This year I am planting with an eye to ornamental as well as edible. I'm going to start the Thai greens indoors this fall so I can keep the varieties seperate in the garden.
