Here is last weeks thursday harvest of lettuce and potatoes. They made the perfect accompaniment to poached salmon with (easy) hollandaise sauce. The lettuce is Mortons Secret Mix and the potatoes are actually Maris Piper that I didn’t let grow to full size. Home grown asparagus would have really topped it off, so I am determined to get some planted this year. Next up to be picked are the peas, the plants are weighed down with pods but none are quite up to size. The anticipation continues!
Linking up with How Does Your Garden Grow, last week I loved Happy Homebird‘s photos from Wales. And with Harvest Monday for the first time, who knew those bits on top of the garlic were edible!? I’m off to harvest them for next week.

Oh Jenni! feeeeed me! That feeling of picking your own and eating straight from the garden is just one of the best feelings and the taste just heavenly. I am really hankering potatoes now!
Thanks for sharing lovely x

What a fabulous harvest! We’re growing our own veg for the first time this year, but are yet to harvest any of it. We’ve had a fair few juicy strawberries already, though

Oooh yum! I am way behind you on harvesting this kind of delightful supper! I recently found some asparagus growing in one of my borders (only moved in last November, so only just discovering everything!) I may have to try and resuscitate them for next year and clear them some space! That meal looked delicious – so fresh. Yum yum!

We’ve had our first cucumber this week, but potatoes are not ready yet. Can’t wait. Salmon and salad potatoes are one of my favourite meals. #HDYGG

Ah thank you for the mention
Nothing better than a bowl of homegrown potatoes – yum! Mine are a bit behind but we have lots of lovely broad beans at the moment.
