Spring harvests

Harvest and Store

April 02, 2012

The spring was early this year, and the plants are already well developed at the beginning of April. So I hade the the first spring harvests and last winter ones.

Borage

I harvested some borage flowers for my flower tea. I prepare a tea mixture every year, adding new flowers when ready: wild clover, cinnamon basil...

I sowed garden cress during winter, and finally I got the first harvest.
I used it for a creamy cress and shallot soup.

Two months ago I cooked a Rooftop Vegetables Omelette with my last sorrel, rhubarb chards and rainbow chards.
After only two months they are ready to be harvested for a fresh salad.

I took a picture of this amazing harvest of Brussels sprouts: they are few and tiny, but delicious.

I forget to take some pictures of my last winter carrots: some purple and red ones. You can see some previous pictures in the post colored carrots.

Author: Daphne (URL) 03/04/2012 Those are the cutest little sprouts. And I grow borage, but never harvest from it. I have very rarely put the flowers in salads for color. I never thought to dry them for tea.
Author: Mary Hysong 04/04/2012 your flower tea sounds great! I ll have to try that; what else do you use?
Author: Graziana 04/04/2012 I prepare a different flower tea every year, with the available flowers from my garden: hyssop, chamomile, orange blossoms, rose, cinnamon basil, yellow clover... If it s a flower and it can be brewed (it s edible and smells good), i dry it and add to the mixture!
