Valkyrie Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yesterday, after the whingeing I got from OH, I picked 2 sungolds, but he wanted to wait because he had just cleaned his teeth. By the time he remembered, there were two little green stalks left. DD scoffed them both. Boy was he really miffed then! So this morning I found 6 ripe ones and they are still waiting to be eaten. Actually I think I'll have a couple. Hmmmm, yummy. So they are ripening faster now. Just waiting for the big ones to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 1 nice courgette today, which I used to make a courgette & parmesan omlette for Brunchfast (when you miss Breakfast & have an early lunch!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 25 massive over wintering onions (only about 150 left ), a row of garlic about a dozen bulbs, the first courgette of this years onslaught, some brocolli, half a dozen tiny strawberries and a few baby carrots. I am going to knock a massive batch of chinese curry paste using the onions and the garlic and for the freezer. I think I will need to harvest the rest of the onions soon, not sure how long they will keep though kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The over wintering ones don't keep as well but they should keep well into the winter I would think. I have just picked 5 courgettes 3 of which were pretty big, they had doubled in size since yesterday when I forgot to pick them Just fried them up HFW style and had some on toast for lunch, yummmmy.

Helly Welly Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Last year i chopped and froze all my onions. It was a horrendous job but lovely to be able to take ready chopped onions out of the freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Toms (well, OH got his revenge and went picking and munching in the greenhouse), 2 pea pods for testers (sharing one each this time) and they were really sweet. I told OH that I would be saving the rest for seed - he wasn't impressed. This is the Heritage seed "Robinson" and it is very much like Gladstone. Fortunately the Gladstones are going great guns and the first pickings of those will be very soon. I have more Gladstones growing and another in the greenhouse ready to plant out. This year I am hoping for a nice succession of peas with enough to save for next year. Finally the garlic has been lifted and drying in the greenhouse ready to store. Some are huge and others much smaller. For the diddy ones I will either use in baked veggies, or baking the toms to freeze or for Christian's brilliant fly spray.

katehicken Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Some rasberries and strawberries. Just picked my first courgette ever- though there are lot's and lots on the way! I have 1 gooseberry so am waiting to have the picking ceremony- it looks very lonely by itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Strawberries and Gooseberries. Made some jam a le Hugh, scrumptious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 We had some peas, our first pickings of dwarf beans (Speedy) and some broad beans mixed together and eaten raw. Actually it would have been better to have cooked the dwarf beans as their flavour was a little strong. Sometimes raw beans are lovely and sweet. Oh well, never mind - just not this variety. Ooh and more toms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
