Dad came in this afternoon with a huge bunch of radishes that he picked from our veggie garden. This harvest is only a tenth of what is growing!
This type of radish is called German Giant. They are very big, crunchy and juicy. Lovely eaten with lots of butter.
It looks like we will be eating radishes for a long time, as well as having plenty to give away to friends and family.
The veggie garden is doing really well. We usually start planting it during the last week of October, after all the frosts have finished. But it was such a mild Spring that we decided to start the veggie patch a month early. We have been lucky with plenty of showers of rain followed by days of blue skies and sunshine. Just what the plants need.
This is what the veggie garden looks like today.
The cavalo nero is looking good. It is the first time that we have grown it and I have never cooked it before. I will have to go online and look for some recipes. There is plenty of time to search, as the cavalo nero won't be ready to harvest until after the first frost next year to sweeten it up!
The kohlrabi stems have just started to fatten up. Hopefully the rains will continue for a long time to save me from needing to water them.
To the right of the kohlrabi is silverbeet and to the left are lettuces and tomato plants :)
Lots of smiles.
Hugs.
