Happy Monday everyone!
This week brought us our very first broccoli ever, what is possibly the very last of the tomatoes, a few shallots and a little bit of kale. The winter veggies are starting to look good in the wagons, though it’ll be a while until we’re harvesting big quantities 🙂
This weeks totals:
Broccoli = 1 pound
Tomatoes = 3 ounces
Kale = 3 ounces
Shallots = 4 ounces
TOTAL OF 1 pound 10 ounces this week!!!
Harvest Monday is hosted by Daphne at daphnesdandelions.

Charlotta – Thank you!!!
Robin – Thank you! Sorry to hear you had a bad year for broccoli and cauliflower! Do you have any clues as to what happened???
Dave – Thanks! Ahhh…the last tomatoes! I hope they were fantastic! We just ate what I think will be our very last ones 🙁
kitsapFG – I WISH we had enough for freezing! This was my first shot at broccoli to see how it would even do! I think I’ll definitely plant more next year!
wilderness – Thank you! Even a little broccoli is better than none!
Zev – Thank you! I thought the contrast was nice, too! It was a happy accident 😉
Brie – Yeah…those aphids love brassicas! I’m growing DiCiccio 🙂
Barbie – Thanks! Keep your eyes open, mine went from small to huge in the matter of a couple of days (they’re under the plastic in the Wagon, so I didn’t even notice)!
Liz – Thank you! The tomatoes were perfect on Nachos!
Phoebe – Thanks!
Norma – Thank you! It was a good shot 🙂
Lou Murray – Yes! I am a new lover of kale (never tasted it until early this year)! It is Red Russian! I am also growing Red Winter 🙂
That top photo was kale? Very nice. I grow Lacinato and Scotch Blue Curled, which have very different taste and texture. Don’t know your variety. What is it?
Very clever, broccoli on the tree stump, love the photo. Home grown broccoli taste so much better than store bought.
Looks tasty!!!
Good job on the broccoli! I’ve only grown it in the spring, and get very frustrated with it’s ability to attract aphids and low productivity. Which variety are you trying?
Yay for broccoli and those last few tomatoes look pretty good too.
I love the photo of broccoli on a stump. Contrast of colors, the living and the dead.
MMMmmm… I’m still a couple weeks from my first head of broccoli and it’s looking small. I’m jealous. Congrats on your first head!
Nice that you finally got the broccoli and really enjoyed it. I noticed a few side shoots on my broccoli that I have pulled yet but not sure there is even enough for one serving sense our season is over.
The broccoli looks delicious! Ours is done for the season so it will be a while for us before fresh broccoli is back on the menu – but thankfully we have quite a bit of it in the freezer to enjoy through the winter.
Congrats on that broccoli! Our tomatoes are hanging on too, but I think this week the weather will get them.
Your broccoli looks great! I’m sure that you enjoyed every bite!
This has been the worst year I have ever had for broccoli & cauliflower. I’m just going to have to enjoy looking at yours.
Oh, yes! That was really nice broccoli:)
Take care,
