This post is late in coming, but I wanted to save face and let you know that there is something I can harvest from my modest veggie patch. I have not put any effort into the garden this month and yet it still produces happily. I know I promised last month that I would toil and sow seeds, but alas! I might as well have gone fishing!! That’s how much I did in the garden, but I am quite surprised what I can collect. Let me share with you my May Harvest!
My lemon tree is a wonder and the priceless fruit is always welcome in my kitchen. I have made tons of lemon cordial and the salad dressings are never with out freshly squeezed lemons.
Fresh Lemons – love them!
My broad beans are starting – I use the tips in my salads. Super delicious!
My main veggie crop is lettuce. It seems to do really well in my patch!
I have sweet basil all over – in purple too! Makes for a very pretty garden fill!
My tomatoes are not ripe yet. They are now going out of season, but we still have a few warm days left. Lets hope we can harvest them soon!
Something different in my garden. We don’t really eat Eggplant, but I am loving them in my garden!
I am just loving wild rocket in my dishes! It brings any meal to life! AND they are easy to grow.
Hey!! I found a cucumber !! I did not know it was sill alive! Guess what I had for lunch today!
And last but not least…. my multitude of herbs. I have lemon balm, mint and thyme I use regularly.
I hope all my harvesting friends have a bigger basket of goodies than I have!!

My mouth was watering during this post. No kidding, your shots look like those in a culinary magazine that tickle the culinary senses. The lemons especially. Love that photo.
Wow! Thanks for that – I’m grinning for ear to ear! 🙂
Your harvest looks good . Have you checked the price of lemons lately!
I also planted broad beans- will try using the tips in salads.
I love having lemons – they are so versatile. I don’t think I have bought lemons in years! 🙂
My goodness you have so much more growing in fall then In have in spring.
And I thought my cupboard was bare! 🙂
Now that is a beautiful garden, you should be quite proud of results like that.
Thank you Charlie – it is my happy place and I get a real kick out of eating from the garden.
