Monday's Harvest


The smaller potatoes are called Red fir and are lovely steamed, and served with a little butter and chopped parsley.
And the big ones, what a suprise i got when i unearthed them!!!!


                                 Oh a little bit of Italy(seeds)  grown here :  Red Torpedo
Great in Salads .

Pop over and visit Daphne's Dandelions and see what others are harvesting.

  5. Those red fir look like they are similar to Pink Fir Apple which I will hopefully be harvesting oodles of soon. I like your onions, when did you sow those?

  8. Nice looking potatoes. I wonder if the Red Fir are the same as the Pink Fir we have here. They certainly look similar.

    1. Hi, they are probably the same just named differently. Taste pretty good.

  10. Those potatoes look great Andrea what a lovely harvest to start the new year. I had a lot of fun growing some potatoes just recently but the weren't the greatest inside, not rotten but with a circle of brown colour I think I wasn't very good at regularly watering. I need to start a planting calendar I think my garden is not very productive at the moment.
