Lettuce - ready, get set, munch!

 

After the battle with the slugs, the lettuce have been growing well and are now ready! Though it was quite fiddly to remove the soil from the leaves (I wonder how the commercial growers do it so well) it was fresh salad time, any time. No more leftover salad leaves sagging sadly in the fridge as I only pick what I need.

Curly Kale - time to get some fibre

We finally got some sunny days in between heavy downpours, the curly kale seemed to like the irratic weather and are now ready to be plucked. I've decided to go for the long harvesting method which means rather than taking the entire plant, I will just harvest the outer leaves and leave the plant to keep producing hence prolonging the harvest period and my supply of kale!

It's raspberry harvesting time

Almost a month since my last update, the raspberries are begining to ripen, yay! As the fruits started to show some colour, it was time to stop procrastinating and put up the nets to prevent the birds from getting a free meal. I have to say it was a challenge and a half as the rasp canes were on a slope but finally it was done and the fruits are safe.

The very first one!
