Broccoli in abundance ....
Some beautiful snow peas, bouncing with beauty and vitality.
These young cos lettuce, coral lettuce, rocket and shallots are so close to picking.
They have been in the soil for about 1 month.
At this stage, you can pick the outer leaves, allowing the lettuce to continue to grow
and likewise pick the young shallots as they have enough flavour to enjoy.
Our broad beans are producing very well. We have been picking them for 6 weeks now.
The papaya have been amazing! I love this fruit.
Served sliced with a little lime juice over the top it is unsurpassed in flavour.
I love it green and finely shredded for a salad, but equally enjoyable,
ripe and served with the acidic accompaniment of lime or lemon juice.
This is amazing!
Young peaches growing on the tree, soon to be succulent, and juicy.
Asparagus happily peeping through the ground.
This such a gorgeous vegetable, give it a dedicated bed and watch it prosper and grow.
Beautiful cabbage wholesome and full, cut it in half and give your neighbours their fill!
We have had such a wonderful October harvest and are looking forward to the peaches,
nectarines and quinces that will be coming to fruition in November.
Not to mention delicious sun ripened tomatoes.
Mouth watering vegetables.
Happy gardening! Buon appetito! Merryn

Deletenever though of combining lime over papaya! We just bought a tree from our local markets just today and i'm hoping we get a fab harvest
ReplyDeleteLisa, your papaya will fruit so quickly, in Sydney those lovely hot summer days will do it justice and encourage growth. My mother actually cooks papaya which astounds me. I love the simple lime juice over top, the acidity is a nice balance. :D
DeleteJealous much! Merryn your garden is bursting full of good things, broccoli at this time of year! you have gotten the art of what to plant when down, I am also eyeing off those pawpaws - yum, we have struggled to grow them, will try and plant some out once the rains start again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz! I cam send you some papaya seeds if you would like, they are self fertilising. We love our greens, never too many to grow or cook :D
