Welcome to our fourth Garden Bloggers Harvest Day this 5th day of April 2012. Our Two Gardens have not been very productive now that the season has ended and the time for winter sowing is upon us! But we still love sharing with you the joys of our gardens on this day each month! Also, having a peek into your veggie patches will continuously inspire and delight! There is so much to grow and enjoy! What’s growing in your edible garden?
Let’s see what can be harvested from Barbies Garden this month
Well, the month of April, for me, is a time for clearing the old and making way for the new winter sowing of seeds. All I can share with you this month is my bountiful herbs that are still growing and adding flavour and colour to all my dishes. There were a few veggies I could show, but not very exciting.

My guavas will be bountiful this winter[/one_half_last]
I know it is not a bountiful harvest, but I guess every garden needs time to renew itself. I’ll also look for some yummy recipes for next month’s post!

I really enjoy seeing what others are harvesting. Nothing to harvest here, but I enjoy this visit.
Just popping by to tell you and Christine that I know there are mixed feelings about awards, but I am giving your blog The Sunshine Award because I appreciate you both. I hope you will take it as a compliment. The post is here: http://dreamingofroses.blogspot.com/2012/04/delivery.html
Lovely to see both herbs and vegetables. I’ve missed April but I’ll contribute next month
I can’t believe it is your fourth post in this series—time is flying. You have a lot going on, and I am envious of your guavas.
The only thing I’m harvesting right now in the northern hemisphere is Romaine lettuce, just enough to put on our sandwiches. There is hope for early tomatoes and eggplants, so I showed the progress of the plants. Fun meme, just out of season for us.
Hi Barbie – Those small carrots are probably the tastiest! This is my first time joining in, thanks for hosting.
Yum! Everything looks so tasty! I can’t imagine being able to grow Guavas! I’ll link in next month. If our freezes during the next few days don’t kill off all the early growth, I should have some harvest goodies to share. Great meme!
I have 7 litres of black olives. BUT, BIG BUT. They need to be slit, cured for days in fresh changes of water, then pickled in brine. Groan.
Your harvest makes me look forward to mine now that we are in spring and planting can begin. Your herbs looks so lush and full. I just added some annual herbs, such as basil and pineapple sage, to the herb garden. I also added some chocolate mint. How I would love to have a lemon tree in my garden…too cold.
Hi Donna – give it a few weeks and it will reward you! 🙂
Looks like you have a lot going on. Especially like seeing the lemons and guava! I may not have any harvest next month, but this month I’ve joined in with the last of my fall planted garden! Thanks for hosting.
Hi Barbie – looks like you still have a lot going on! I’ve been planting a few more things.
I can see that you have been busy – still waiting for my seeds to grow!! Your garden looks so yummy! 🙂
I wont be joining in this month – nothing much going on – just tiny seedlings so far.
THanks for your post – I know the feeling. Mine is looking very empty!
Barbie I couldn’t find Mr Linky…I don’t have much to share either except what is growing as far as herbs and a few veggies just starting to sprout…
