Harvest Monday 2/27/12

This week we harvested Buttercrunch, Black Seeded Simpson, and Prizehead lettuce from a cold frame. After culling and washing we got 1 pound 8 ounces. That will give us dinner salads all week long! We're cheating our 6b zone by lighting the frame from a couple of hours in the early morning and placing heavy black rubber mats over the glass at night.

Stop by Daphne's Dandelions to see what other gardeners are harvesting around the world.

This is a pic of the frame earlier this year. The light is a 4 foot fluorescent and if you look closely you can see a flap of the rubber mat that covers it at night.

This week and last week we harvested Butter crunch, Prizehead and Black Seeded Simpson lettuce from Livingston Seed Co. We've taken 1 pound and 13 ounces from the cold frame over the last two weeks. So far this year we've harvested harvested just over 3 pounds of lettuce. Hooray!

Harvest Monday is hosted by Daphne at Daphne's Dandelions. Stop by her site and see what other people are harvesting around the world.

This week we finally got around to the rest of the carrots (there are a few more in the ground). We picked just over 5 pounds today. And to our complete amazement one of them was 13 inches long and weighed 1 pound 7ounces. We also harvest a tiny bit of red leaf lettuce from the cold frame. The carrots taste very sweet. Maybe it's because they've been exposed to many freezing nights.
