Harvest Monday - May 12 2014

The very first alpine strawberry!






I am growing alpines "Golden Alexandria" the first year, I got 25 plants last month, most of them with flowers.



In general - we are starting to eat greens regularly, I mean every day. It is not much yet, leaf here, leaf there, but still counts.




I got 2 first radishes today, and they are so small! I do not have luck growing them, they always bolted.






 An there are some more pictures from May's garden.

I built new trellis for Italian tomatoes last weekend. My beds are on the slope and at the end of the summer my bamboo trellises are usually folding down.
 So I made "something" stronger and taller. Tomatoes here are Roma, Viva Italia and some of the Striped cavern.
 I like how my kale bed is looks like, I sprinkled some of the iron bites this spring to get rig of snails that always make me crazy.
 My oversized tomatoes is doing so-so,
lower leaves are yellow, top leave are good, green and strong.
 Yesterday my mom called me and asked - where is your cuces? and really&
I have only 8 plants.
 Cuces are on the left, borago are on the rights.
So I planted more, CHinahlong, Palace King, Suyo and Spacemaster.



Blueberries are blooming.






 Peppers too! Can you see the little bud? I planted them out last week on the black fabric.





















Strawberries are good, blooming.

 My garden looks more like vertical now.


 I am not happy with my beets, they germinated poorly, I believe I will overseed them this week. I have some in left container here.

Shared at: Daphne’s Dandelions “Harvest Monday” where everyone can share links to their harvest or how they are using their harvests for the week.

Thanksgiving harvest


Happy Thanksgiving for All of Us!


 The garden is frozen, but the harvest was so good today!


Parsnips are huge! Cant wait to take them.

 Asian radish "Shogoin Globe" from 
Kitazawaseed 

First time to grow, first time to harvest!

The description says -
A large, round white daikon with a green neck. It has firm, crispy flesh with a mild taste. Harvest when roots reach 6" diameter. Suited to heavy clay soils. The roots develop mainly above ground; the leaves protect the roots well.
And the rest - celery, carrots, beets (very small this year), greens.

Happy Thanksgiving!
