Broadbean Harvest

Almost our entire harvest of broadbeans, just a handful!

We picked a few more about a week later, but that was it!
We have ripped out the plants now.

Shelled, most with the outer skin still remaining.

We steamed them enjoyed them bruschetta style with parmesan, oil and garlic.
Delicious flavour.
But would I grow them again for so little result?

Snowpeas!

Today Steve discovered a few snowpeas growing! I was sick yesterday so didn't check the garden once, then suddenly there they were today!

One of the broccoli is being eaten by something


but the beans are looking very happy.

Tonight - a feast fit for a king!

Garden in September

Every day there is something new to be seen in the food garden, the plants are growing overnight.

Snowpea blooms are appearing daily

Tatsoy are going crazy - we are eating them daily for dinner, mostly with salad but the other night a stirfry.

Capsicum seedlings (bought) are happy

Broccoli are getting huge but STILL have no heads growing

Broadbeans are flowering, white flowers with black spots

Chives are happy, basil is getting eaten by something ...

The garden still receives no sun at 11am but is getting more in the late afternoon.
Am really enjoying picking and eating and watching our vegetables.
Thinking of starting a new plot ...

Flowers!

At last, some pea and bean flowers. Five snow pea and one broadbean flower. The broadbean flower seems to be attracting ants.

During the week I planted 3 spinach seedlings and 6 capsicum.
