    Today I Mostly Harvested......

    You see, whether you've been growing stuff to eat for an annosecond, or a decade, the kind of results are still as WOW? and I think it's just as important for us to share the produce that we harvest, whether it's annoyingly bad or frock-blowing-up-Gorgeous?
    We should completely CELEBRATE what we grow, and I'd like to think that this thread is kind of here for you to do just that.

    So People, Let's Harvest It, and TALK ABOUT IT!

    I'll Start:

    Today I Mostly Harvested.....

    Mixed Salad Leaves (how boring is that?!) for our warm Goats Cheese Salad.
    But then again, it's not WHAT you've got, it's what you DO with it - as the saying goes! you've not been invited to Wellie's Kitchen yet to taste how scrummy that could be? I simply ADORE cooking what I grow, and in amongst this thread, I'll try and interject our own Kitchen Garden Successes and Failures amongst yours, if you'll let me?

    So.... what did you Mostly Harvest Today?

    cauliflower (my first proper one), asparagus and rhubarb (getting bored with rhubarb crumble by now - must make some chutney), picked one stem of mint just to get that lovely smell on my fingers! The smell of childhood podding peas in the sunshine in the back garden with my mum!

        Salad leaves, including watercress, radishes, chives for the potato salad. (enough for 4 people, served with a bbq)
        I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

            Today we had salad leaves and spring onions in [yes] a salad with shop bought toms [C'mon you greenhouse tomatoes....get a move on]. And swiss chard and onions and [not yet ready but lovely] garlic in a spicy potato cake with chillis from last year. Chopped a couple of beans from the early bean project and threw them into the potato cake as well.

            Used the chillis again in a hot curry for tea.

            And many thanks Wellie for doing this again. It really brings home the reality of GYO.

                Some CCA salad leaves and half grown iceberg, added to farm shop cucumber, celery and grated carrots. Eaten with some home made salsa (bottled last year), grilled chicken and warm new potatoes.

                  Didn't harvest anything apart from about 3 trug loads of weeds and roots but was wondering why this is a new thread? Was the old one getting too big and if that's the reason, why isn't it a problem for the Today I Did one started by Jaxom about a millenium ago? Don't mind either way but was just wondering?

                  Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                  Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                    Loads of new people. Some brave enough to register on the GYO Grapevine, and some needing a little extra courage to commit once they've seen how friendly and informative GYO is. Either way, every single one of us learned, or are learning, to grow stuff, and here we be to share our experiences.

                    That is what it's truly about. No more, no less.
                    But the pleasure is all ours'.

                        Alison...new year new harvests new grapes.

                        Whereas the Jaxom thread is about recording and looking back at what people did and when. It will probably have to be archived one day....and a new one started.

                              Last night I harvested a very big radish and a tiddly one too! It was very exciting - my first home grown food and shared between three of us so we could all have a taste! Off to look for some more now! I only started growing in March and am totally addicted with my conservatory being taken over as a second greenhouse!

                              Also had the thinnings of some CCA lettuce! This growing your own is great!!
