The first of the rainbow chard. Picked the first week in July, the dry spells followed by the heavy rains have meant that a good lot of the earlier sown chard has bolted, along with some of the spinach. Lots of spinach picked already but none photographed.

The first load of Colleen earlies. This was just the first row that I dug and it yielded just over 13 KGs.

More rainbow chard picked yesterday.

Some carrot thinnings (alot of which were pretty useful), small pea harvest, turnip thinnings (nice roasted whole) and the blessed beetroot. Can't get enough of this one, the variety is Boltardy and it's doing great for me with very little soil preparation. These all get roasted whole in my house with loads of honey, salt and pepper.

Yesterdays haul. Another 15 KGs of earlies (Colleens). These turned out to be a good cropper. I may have earthed them up a little late though as on each plant there was 4-5 large spuds, 1 or 2 tiny marble sized ones and a couple of salad sized ones. Had a few last night with a ridiculous amount of butter...nom nom nom.
