Beautiful harvest! That cabbage and greens look wonderful! My purple basil did not survive but plenty of regular to go around. Nice shallots and tomatoes too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny. My purple basil is doing great this year. I have more in front along the driveway. These plants huge.
DeleteVery nice Ed. I can't believe you are still harvesting lettuce. Lucky you to have lettuce and tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year that I've gotten tomatoes and lettuce harvested at the same time.
DeleteLOL, I think you and I are the only ones still harvesting lettuce! I have the summer mix growing in containers right now, and should be harvesting leaves when the last of the spring lettuce is eaten.
ReplyDeleteMy summer mix lettuce is growing in pots too. So far none of the remaining spring lettuce has turned bitter. I'll be harvesting the last of it this week.
DeleteI couldn't imagine lettuce growing outside right now. It is so hot and sunny. I've never seen a summer so hot before.
ReplyDeleteDaphne, I'm surprised that the lettuce has not turned bitter. This is the hottest summer that I can remember since moving here.
DeleteLovely harvest and I need to try purple basil.

The purple basil tastes just like the green and is very attractive. It is a much slower grower in the seedling stage.
DeleteThat cabbage is amazing! Great harvest.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The cabbage is great, but I'd like to find an earlier compact red variety.
Deleteshallots from seed? mmmm I don't remember seeing that before. Very nice looking harvests, that purple basil looks like a winner!
ReplyDeleteGreat harvest. I wish I had some of your salad greens so I could make a salad with the tomatoes we are starting to harvest.
