Sorry to have missed posting yesterday, but I got carried away in my garden … Warm and sunny days are becoming the norm on our eleventh Garden Bloggers Harvest Day in Spring in the Southern Hemisphere. Two Gardens are going to make it a habit of spending time in the garden! With last month’s rain and the sun’s happy rays washing over the plants, all our plants are stretching heavenward.
Let’s see what can be harvested from Barbie’s Garden this month
Wow! So much growth is evident in my garden since my last post – it almost looks like it is not the same plants. The harvesting of delicious vegetables and herbs and salad greens is now a daily task. The potatoes are not quite ready for harvest, but you have to see the growth! Everything else has tripled in size! Let me show you what I can harvest so far ….
[one_half]Celery is now in all my dishes[/one_half]
[one_half_last]Swiss Chard – beautiful on the plate[/one_half_last]
[one_half]Oak leaf lettuce[/one_half]
[one_half_last]Curly Lettuce[/one_half_last]
[one_half]New assorted lettuce on the go[/one_half]
[one_half_last]Yeay! Strawberries![/one_half_last]
So much happening in this raised bed – Carrots, beetroot, Broccoli, baby lettuces, a strawberry plant and my new Apple tree in the middle. I can also see a stray Spearmint popping out – hmmmm. You can see Sweet Rocket in the background going to seed.
[one_half]Broccoli Sprouts[/one_half]
[one_half_last]Celery and Swiss Chard-great companions I see[/one_half_last]
[one_third]Broccoli[/one_third]
[one_third]Chives in flower[/one_third]
[one_third_last]Red Onions[/one_third_last]
[one_half]Loquats are ripe now[/one_half]
[one_half_last]Look at the potatoes![/one_half_last]
So much variety and so delicious. I can’t help nibble my way through the veggie patch. AND I still have not Tomatoes or Sweet Basil – this will be a treat in time to come!
Happy Harvesting xxxx

I’m totally envious! two weeks away and my herbs and veg all look verlep!
Don’t worry – I have so much to share 🙂
But I bet your garden is happy that you are home!
Yum, your harvest looks delectable–especially all the fresh lettuce! Thanks for hosting!
Wow, so much edible beauty! (I just can’t figure out your climate there!)
Thanks Alan – we have really good weather overall. I guess you can call it Mediterranean type of weather. 🙂
It all looks so fresh – and yummy! Very impressive. It must be thrilling to have so much growing. Love the look of your raised bed – so full and green!
Oh yes! I love Spring!! everyday there is something new to see (and eat!) 🙂
It looks like you are in for a wonderful season of fresh food.
Fabulous Barbie. Looks so much like my spring garden. Don’t you just love those grow bags. I still have carrots growing in my grow bags under cover.
They are amazing – working well and looking quite rustic too. However, the longevity of hessian is not so good – I might have to change my material.
Lots of spring crops, although some are grwoing here in autumn! You really pack a lot into your small raised bed. Great use of space. here’s my link: http://myhesperidesgarden.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/harvest-day-preserving-the-crop-citrus-etc/ Christina
