Harvest Monday - 11 February 2013

I have been too busy to weigh things these last few weeks, but here's a few photos of what my late summer garden is producing.

Cherry Tomatoes Galore, Australian Butter beans and plenty of Cucumbers to make bread and butter pickes with.

Beit Alpha Cucumbers, Little finger Eggplants, Eva Purple Ball Tomatoes, Blondkopfchen tomatoes and a Red Kuri pumpkin. The top right is my favorite spot in the garden it has colorful Zinnias, Beetroot and Chilli's. Bottom right is a Rosa Bianca Eggplant.

Here are my new Chooks, whoops looks like the front one has no head! No eggs so far, I can't wait for the eggs to start rolling in.

    I can see why the beetroot is your favorite spot in the garden. That's a great picture.

    Your young hens look healthy. What a gorgeous harvest you had this week. All those summer veggies are making me quite jealous. :D

      Those hens are trouble, I lost one the first night but managed to find her in the next backyard over! My childhood chicken herding skills are still well honed and I managed to catch her and reunite her with the others. Don't be too jealous the powder mildew is setting in and all but three of my tomatoes have succumbed to a fungal problem - That's what you get when you plant too close I guess.

    The Rosa Bianca eggplants look interesting. Do they get much bigger and how do they taste?

    Hi Liz, this is the first time I have grown Rosa Bianca. I got my seed form 'The Lost Seed' its a pretty big plant and is covered in about 10 similar sized fruit at the moment. I took this photo last week and this morning when I had a look it had about doubled in size, I have read they can reach one kilo! I don't think mine will get that heavy but maybe 500g. I choose this variety due to all the things I read about it being very mild in flavour(not a massive eggplant fan but trying to like it) and creamy in texture. I let you know when I harvest one.
