Today I pulled the carrots I sowed in August. Pretty baby carrots. Somehow a rabbit seems to have found his way into the garden and ate off most of the carrot greens. I am fascinated that he only ate the carrots. Next year I am planning a chicken wire tunnel over the carrots.
I ended up harvesting about a dozen heads of lettuce today as there may be a hard frost tonight. Some lettuce plants I dug and moved into my cold frame to see how they do there over the winter. I also harvested leeks, walking onions, Savoy cabbage, bok choi, baby beets and baby carrots.
To end the day, we tried a new combination of veggies in a martini: baby carrots, walking onions and an olive. I highly recommend it!
Well, what can I say, a relaxing drink combined with some of your 5-a-day veggies. Perfect.

What a great way to use up some of the smaller veggies. Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYour martinis should win an award for creativity. One of my favs was the Watermelon radish martini. I'm growing Watermelon radishes this fall - thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour carrots look very health and the martini part is kind of funny. I could try it out sometime lol!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know that you got such a nice harvest. Most people with kitchen gardens look forward to such a harvest but most do not achieve such results.
Congratulations on the good harvest and I hope you will be able to keep off the rabbits next time.
