These onions and garlic are just the tip of the vegie iceberg.
Harvest time. Life is good. Thanks Vegie garden man, Mr. Apple (that's one of my ways of saying I am crap at the garden- I am often great at the cooking/ preserving end though!)

Abundance
It's that time of the year again...
Destination currently unknown- jam, dried, bottled? A fair share will be eaten fresh but there are a lot more coming, and other stone fruit as well, like these nectarines.

Happy New Year Mrs Apple! I do usually love this abundant time of the year but this year due to floods and humidity its not to be and I miss it. I have even been buying lettuces!! At least there're the berries I have been jamming and preserving and making into icecream. Have fun. I can only imagine how divine your kitchen is smelling. X
ReplyDeleteOh, I miss sun-ripened apricots.... grew up with them not far from where you are now... shop-bought doesn't cut the mustard with me.
ReplyDeleteI love a good harvest. I'd be jamming like nobody's business.... nothing finer than homemade jam from your own crop!!!
Lovely haul. In our little suburban garden we have some cherry tomatoes ripening. A shame our Staffy is pulling our few apricots and nectarines of our espalier branches :(
ReplyDeleteOh they look so great! I am missing summertime fruits and veggies; I wish I could take a bite out of those right now. :)
ReplyDeleteYum - lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThis year I pledge to build a vegie garden - I want produce that looks like that!

Hi Tanya,
I can't tell you how impatient I'm getting about our house renovations which stalled some time back in October. You see, after the rear of our house has been demolished and re-built, we're having the concrete removed from our driveway so that I can plant up a new garden bed. And I have great plans for ordering some fruit trees from you guys.
Mmmm ... I grew up on a very productive acreage and although I love inner-city life, I also miss the seemingly endless supply of home-grown fruit and veg. I'll definitely call you in autumn and see if you can help me pick out some yummy varieties!
