Harvest Monday - 6 June 2016

Latest post from MARKSVEGPLOT – a blog about food and gardening in England”

I don’t have much in the way of harvests to report this week, just some Lettuce:

This one is another “Tom Thumb”. We have been really impressed with this variety. It has good taste and texture, and is just the right size for a 2-person salad.

For a lettuce of such diminutive proportions, it has a surprisingly big heart!

We did also have another lettuce during the week, but I didn’t photograph it. It was one of the “Dubacek” variety, and to be honest, they all look exactly the same, so I’ll cheat and show you one from last week!

Apart from lettuce, the only other food that has come out of the garden is a bit of Mint, Thyme and Parsley.

The Tom Thumb lettuce became the main ingredient for a really nice salad that Jane made, which I’m going to describe more fully tomorrow. In this picture it’s missing one vital ingredient, so come back tomorrow to see what it was!

I’m linking my post to Harvest Monday, hosted by Dave at Our Happy Acres, where hopefully you will be able to see some more ambitious harvests!
