What are you picking now?

I am often asked what are you picking in your veg patch at the moment. We are always curious to know what someone else has succeeded with or to get ideas on something you may have forgotten to grow or did not know grew at this time of year.

The things we are harvesting at the moment are as follows:

- Carrot (I swear they have grown slower than last year)
- Beetroot
- Tomato
- Beans (Climbing and Bush types)
- Rocket
- Silverbeet
- Chicory
- Lettuce
- Potato (majority now in hessian bags)
- Last lot of Sugarloaf Cabbage
- Radish
- Celery
- Perpetual Spinach
- Zucchini
- hanging is the garlic and the balance of our poor onion harvest

In the Herb garden we have the following, tho some are recent plantings from cuttings or seeds recently transplanted as I am growing this aspect of the patch.

- Rosemary, Sage, Thyme and lemon Thyme, Oregano, Lovage, French Tarragon, Winter Savoury, Italian Parsley, Mint and Peppermint, Lemon Balm, Bergamot.

I have 6 plants of Rhubarb however most are less than 6 months old so still growing.

The tomato harvest is kicking along with 4 1kg strawberry punnets filled yesterday with much blanching of the beans happening for eating through winter.

So what are you harvesting at the moment? I know of some eating Corn, tho mine still need more sun to sweeten up (check photo below).

Capsicum "Antohi Romanian" - Each plant seems to have 10 capsicums

The Corn is still not quite ready

Can you see the tiny watermelon?
