December Harvest

Happy New year everyone! It is finally sunny, hopefully summer is here to stay!

In the meantime i have my december harvest count

33 Snow peas
5 strawberries
21 Blueberries
4 Small Onions
2 Medium Onion
2 Rhubarb Stalks
7 Heirloom Snowpeas (it produced alot more but i am leaving them on the plant for the seeds)
9 Cherry Tomatoes
1 Black Russian Tomato
170g Baby Spinach
1 Patio Tomato
1 Yellow Beam Tomato (Cherry)
1 Fig
1 Raspberry
29 White Currents

Not bad considering how stupidly wet it was :) i have also just added 2 new plants (fruit)
Dwarf Red Dacca Banana (cool region variety)
Pepino Gold (Small yellow melon like fruit)

Unfortunalty all my local nurseries seem to be out of strawberry quava's but that is next on my list

My raised vegies bed is doing well however i have had to pull up a few of the swede and all the brussel sprouts and cabbage....they got annihalated by cabbage white butterfly. I have replaced them with silverbeet.

The corn is growing well as is the mixed lettuce growing underneath it.

Oh and from this month i will be calculating the produce by weight not quantity :)
