Early Strawberries and Last of the Rainbow Chard
So its the long weekend and I have been resting up. In between resting up and lazing, I have also been pottering in the garden which is very higgledy piggledy, but it is coming along nicely or so it appears.
Look what I harvested on Friday - early strawberries! They were not perfect, but they were really sweet and tasty.
I have also been eyeing up some future fruit such as gooseberries (above), blueberries (below), plums, apples and pears (below).
I also harvested the last of the overwintered rainbow chard, that went into a Chickpea Curry.
I am sharing this blog post with Dave over at Happy Acres for Harvest Monday.

Oh the promise of berries to come. I learned this year that misshapen strawberries likely are due to cool temperatures when during blossom time. https://www.ediblegardens52.com/ediblegardens52/2019/4/17/misshapen-strawberries The chard is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue. Strawberries regardless of their shape, were still delicious - by the way, I did ty and come by to leave a comment on your blog but am struggling - sorry.
DeleteHomegrown strawberries are tasty, whether they are perfect or not!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave
DeleteGlad to hear your garden is coming along well. Never seen pears growing before - they don't seem that common. We have talked about a little apple tree in a pot one day when we have a bit of energy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Johanna, every year our efforts to stay on top of it improves and this year, we are really doing well - thanks to D fixing the greenhouse in plenty of time. I hope you do get a apple tree for your garden, they do grow well in pots.
DeleteOoo lucky you, my strawberries are still sad and green! I always think pears are so cute when they're still little on the tree :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie. I hope your strawberries pick up. We have actually stuck in some new plants as the old ones were not producing much. And your right pears are kinda cute when titchy!!
