Harvest Monday - Spinach Alone, Again!


At least I do have spinach to harvest and wouldn't have had it if it hadn't wintered over so well. The leaves are nice and big and a deep green.

It was enough for the two of us to have steamed and have a nice big helping of it with a pat of butter on top.

Here's how the rest of the crops are faring in the vegetable garden.


Three kinds of onions.


Snow peas with the stick supports a la Crocketts Victory Garden. Spinach before harvest is on the left.

Close up of peas. No turkey problems this year.


More spinach, three rows, bordered on both sides by lettuce. Spinach close up below.


Finally as I walked back in the garage I snapped this photo of the hostas on the east side of the house. They are the farthest along in their growth and looking lovely.


Check out other harvest at the host of Harvest Monday: Daphne's Dandelions.
