Okay guys, let's see em. Share your harvest!

This time of year, I'm a busy bee planting away. Sure there is kale, chard, peas, lettuce and herbs to harvest, but mostly I'm so focused on getting the garden ready for the main season, that I completely loose site of the harvest. Can't see the fruit for the seedlings, as it were. Yet half the world, I'm told is currently getting ready for their long winter nap. It's always nice to be reminded of what we do this for... yeah, the environment, health, whatever. Really, between you and me, I'm in it for the harvest.

Please post your harvest photos here!

I started a 'challenge': pick something edible from the garden each day. I started the 2nd of May. Most days it's only some kitchen or tea herbs. More and more I can pick some leaves of lettuce too. When there's more ... I'll tell and show you. Here you see my lettuce, in a large pot with an 'olla' in the middle (for easy irrigation), and some mint. In the background there are pots with strawberry plants.

We grow a largish garden (3000 sq ft) with berries and asparagus as permanent plantings, and plant potatoes, carrots, corn, beets, etc in it. We also have a "side garden" near the house (about 500 sq ft, for peas, onion family, and sunflowers), a small greenhouse, a small herb garden, and a planting of bell peppers and basil that wraps around two sides of our house, plus some fruit and nut trees, and grape vines. We grow food for us two adults, not for sale. We give away surpluses to the local food bank and also trade some among our friends.

I don't have any pics of our fruit or nuts, for some reason. Except, I suppose that technically tomatoes and peppers are fruit. I guess I've shot pics only sporadically and randomly. The following are lettuce in basket, broccoli in a basket...

In the salad for this afternoon: 5 leaves of different lettuces, chives, mint and more herbs, all from my garden. On the photo before I mixed them with other ingredients.

Harvested my first taters. Some of the plants had died down, though it seems very early.

Taters are tiny.

Try planting potatos where they only get morning sun so they don't over heat. Try for where the ground will remain moist for three months after frost. Deep mulch keeps them protected from the heat.
The next crop can be planted in dry soil and mulched. they will form sprouts and then pop up when it rains again. then they can grow until it freezes again. There grow cycle is about three months for full size, in Maine that is all the growing season they get for them. Myself I get three grow cycles each year. Feb.-May, May-August, August-november.
I use the center third of the barrels I cut for wicking beds to hill them up. This week one is ready to harvest one the vines are almost died back. the other two were replanted after trying to get them through Dec./Jan. after the tops froze in the greenhouse I got potatoes about the same as the ones you picture. They were a welcome treat anyway.

At this point in 2016, this thread would be worth reviving.  What have you got in the way of harvest pics from your homestead, yard garden, small farm, greenhouse... whatever?

You're right Joel, it's time for harvest news. Sorry I don't have photos. My main 'harvest' are green leaf vegetables, which I still have in the garden. I keep cutting the ones I need for a meal untill they stop producing new leaves (but they are still going strong)

Some of what we harvested this year just looked like what I posted earlier on this page from last year.  But on the other hand, we didn't take many pictures of the gardens this year.  We were happy to have an abundant yield of raspberries and strawberries and a superabundant blueberry crop. A good crop of onions, tomatoes, green peas, kale, cauliflower, and broccoli... good hybrid corn, good crop of russet and German butterball spuds (but a bit of trouble with Yukon golds), good leafies (incl herbs).  On the trees, good pear and apple crops.

Here's a pic of some of our keeper-squash harvest.

We've been having a ton of lettuce and chard from our gardens plus a bunch of snap peas and broccoli. We're also getting a ton of harvests from some of our perennial veggies. Especially Kosmic kale, miners lettuce, purple tree collards, wild onions, and our checkermallows. Attached is a picture showing some checkermallow leaves I harvested to use on a sandwich. I use them a lot in salads too. I need to try cooking with them more and learn how they hold up to different cooking styles. Lots and lots of greens this year--I'm going to have to plant less annual greens next year now that our perennial greens are coming into their own. But it has been good being able to give away so many greens to family this year.

Got a bunch of beans that should be ready to harvest soon and zucchini should be starting to produce soon. Carrots on their way and a good crop of regular onions too. And hopefully a lot of tomatoes!

We have harvested around 75 pounds of potatoes.   Best guess is another 50 in the ground.

Fairly good haul of garlic this year. I've got some potatoes. It seemed like a lot in the spring, but only some of them did well as they're not the variety I usually plant. I'll plant more Russets next year simply because that's what my family seems to like the best.

Jay I am impressed with your garlic!! I love garlic, I put cloves in just about every dinner and supper we eat;) I don't care if we smell, I can't smell much anyway. :p haha

And Inge those potatoes are fantastic! I have to wait longer for mine, and I have a sneaking suspicion they have been eaten by wild(urban) life, like everything else this year. Between the city construction projects ripping up the greenspace behind us and this terrible, relentless heat, I seem to have collected a big hodgepodge group of refugees.

I have beans! beans beans beans. I Only pick a big handful every day, just enough for us to eat fresh daily. But this year I am growing noodle beans for the first time, and they are so fantastic and funky looking to my northern Canadian/Euro-centric vision. lol.

Longest set to date, which was over 63 cm!!! My friend thinks I am growing skipping ropes lol.

Hugo, is that purslane in the last photo? I have some that planted itself, but not sure how one would eat it. Do you use it for salad?

Sionainn: yep it is. It's superhealthy ! I use it mixed in salads and did an experiment to freeze it.
