Despite it being the height of summer this weather hasn’t been helping the garden through what should be its period of peak productivity. Temperatures are lower than they should be and there’s little sunlight around at present. But in the face of pouring rain for much of today it was important to get out and harvest various things which had ripened. Gooseberries ripe for picking. A good gooseberry harvest from a humble (cheap! Just a few yards away the blueberry bush is in full production. Between the be...

Harvest Time | www.grow-veg.uk
https://grow-veg.uk/2015/06/27/harvest-time
For me, this is one of the best times of the vegetable growing year. Root crops have been rapidly swelling and there is so much lovely food to pick and enjoy. First out of the ground today was this trio of beetroots: one each of Detroit White, Golden and Chioggia. Colourful trio of beetroots. They ended up in a roasting bag with some swede, also picked today. Alongside are the first mangetout of the year. Beets ready for roasting, with mangetout alongside. Beetroot leaves – a spinach substitute. The thre...

Coming In and Going Out. It was a big day in the garden today: after lifting various matured crops I was finally able to move the tomato plants out of the plastic tents and into open ground. To me this marks a new phase in the growing year, when the root crops like carrots, potatoes and onions make way for softer summery things like tomatoes and lettuces. Some of today’s. Out of the ground today came. Potatoes, various beetroots and a row of lovely carrots of the variety. Nice big harvest of broad beans.
