Harvest Monday
This week we harvested komatsuna (Chinese mustard greens), Viroflay Giant and Giant Winter spinach and asparagus. We wrote our weight totals down, but haven't tallied them yet. I'm guessing the komatsuna and asparagus were around 8 ounces each, and the spinach was probably close to 2 pounds.

That's a lot of spinach! I'll have to plant some for winter and see if it grows better than the spring one, which is very tiny. And might try giant variety too :)
ReplyDeleteDave sent us these giant seeds. They have done well for us.
DeleteWe are both having a good spinach season so far!
ReplyDeleteHey, great gardeners grow alike!
DeleteOh to have fresh asparagus. In 2 years if all goes well this year. Putting in 50 roots.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! We found Soilman's video tutorial on planting asparagus to be very helpful.
Deletewow great harvest!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs. Pickles.
DeleteGreat spinach harvest, mine are still at the micro green stage.
ReplyDeleteMost of our lettuce is just past the micro green stage. It's just about time to start thinning it out.
ReplyDeletewow that is a lot of spinach & mustard! Very yummy looking too. Getting way to hot here; took my spinach out a week or two back, now onto planting amaranth and chard.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know chard could endure the heat. We have some growing too. We'll have to see how long it can last this summer.
DeleteA lovely pile of nutrients you have there.
ReplyDeleteAnd yummy too!
DeleteNow popeye would be envious!!
ReplyDeleteGreat harvest, are you freezing any?
Everyone enjoys it so much. We'd need to grow twice this amount to freeze any.
DeleteThat spinach looks great. I'm going to have to start picking some komatsuna too. Soon it will get way too big.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your harvest of it.
ReplyDeleteSpinach is one of my most favorite greens. My spinach has been slow to get going this year but should be coming on for harvest in the not too distant future now. Your pile is quite impressive! Those are definitely big leaved spinach varieties.
ReplyDeleteThey are big leaves, sort of velvety too, very tasty. We love spinach too. I hope you have a great harvest this year.
DeleteFantastic haul! I definitely didn't overwinter enough spinach! Not sure what I was thinking...
ReplyDeleteWe didn't overwinter a thing. We direct sowed this early in March. We'll try overwintering this year. I hope!
DeleteNice harvest, Jody! Still waiting for things to pick up here in Vermont.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas. I'm waiting anxiously to see how your garden grows.
DeleteThat's one nice pile of spinach! Enjoy. I just made creamed spinach... not the healthiest thing to do with spinach, but oh so yummy!
ReplyDeleteHey, at least you still get the spinach's nutrients!
DeleteThat's bowl full of greens!
ReplyDeleteSure is! We're eating spinach every day!
