I was not very diligent with my Spring veggie and herb planting so my harvest this month has been small. The endless rainy and cool weather took the “feel-like-it” right out of me and now I’m regretting not planting a few more things a bit earlier in the season. But I do have a few things to show. Notably, the Lemon grass is looking fabulous and I’ve harvested plenty, so much so that I’ve frozen quite a few stalks. I love the actual plant so much that I’m going to plant some into the flower beds so we have a more continuous supply.

My veggie planter is rather disorganised. I have no real plan when I plant, I just plant what I like and know I can manage. My garden includes lots of herbs and I tend to only plant vegetables that are easy to grow or not readily available in the shops. Freshly picked herbs are always in a winner in my kitchen but vegetables that require constant monitoring – I’m not so good at growing those. 🙂
So what’s growing in your veggie patch?

I think you have a great variety. Sometimes just a few salad leaves together with some great herbs and lemon juice makes the most devine dish. Simple and nutritious. 🙂
Love your choices!!
It doesn’t look like too bad a harvest for late spring. Here’s my link for harvest day. http: //myhesperidesgarden.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/gb-harvest-day-autumn-plenty/
