Harvest Monday, June 20

Welcome Harvest Monday! As usual, I harvested a ton of my herbs as I went through the week while I cooked. Some Dill in Fridge Pickels, Basil & Oregeo in pasta, Lemon Balm in my Sun Tea, Cilantro in my Kale/Rice/Chick Pea dish and the list goes on and on! I bet if I weighed my Parsely, it'd be 500 pounds!! Ok, maybe not 500 but.....

So this week, we harvested 5.82 oz and the last of our Easter Egg Radishes. Two bolted so I left them to go to seed and then I can collect them and replant next year. Any suggestions for what to make with these radishes? This is the first year we've grown them. My husband eats them raw but I'd like to do something else with them!

We also harvested more Broccoli, 3.32 oz. I cannot believe the Broccoli we are having this year! Our cauliflower is close too!

And now a question for all you 'Harvest Monday'ers' out there ;) How do you grow your carrots?

Our patch is full and I read that you should thin out to no less than 2" apart. Here is a stack of what my husband pulled last night as he thinned a few rows. There were already tasty little nibblers there!

Here's to a good week :) Stay cool out there!

Harvest Monday

I'm participating in Daphne's Dandelions 'Harvest Monday'!

And I guess this would be our first official harvest for 2010.....minus the herbs. I am bad about tracking the herbs since a lot of the time I am just running out there snipping off some to throw into dinner. Although, yesterday, I took a huge bunch of Parsley to my mom.

.126# of Easter Egg Radish

We probably would have had a tad more but hubby ate one before I could weigh them in. Hence the greens with no Radish on the right!

.520# of Broccoli

Our Broccoli was starting to bolt and so we had to start harvesting.

And last, our Garlic Scapes came in at 1.83 oz.

And it is all still in the fridge waiting for me to decide what to do with it all tonight :)

If you have a recipe that uses scapes or radishes, please feel free to send my way! I also have Strawberries, Rhubarb and Bok Choy I purchased at a Farmer's Market this weekend that I need to cook up!

Happy Monday!
