This Week's Harvest

I'm often asked what were harvesting right now.....or slightly differently worded, what we are currently growing. Just like my readers, I'm ever curious about what others are doing on their places. So from time to time, I'll post what's coming out of the numerous farm projects. 

Fruits:

Lemons

Honey tangerines...my first! Just 10 tangerines for the first harvest.

Oranges

Mini guavas

Bananas

Lilikoi

Above... little but delicious, the mini guavas. I don't know what their common name is, but they are small, yellow skinned, pale yellow flesh, sweet & tasty. 

Veggies:

Snap beans - yellows, greens, and purples. Both round podded and flat romano type.

Peas - snaps and snows 

Potatoes - golden fleshed

Sweet Potatoes - orange fleshed

Green onions

Leeks

Kale

Turmeric

Pumpkins

Amaranth greens

Chaya greens

Sweet potato greens

Okinawan spinach

Broccoli

Taro

various herbs

Above, my first honey tangerines. 

We still have plenty of various meats in the freezer, so we won't be harvesting any livestock for quite a while. 

What have we started this past week? .....

Lettuces

Radishes

Several bok choys

Various Asian greens

Onions

Spinach

Beets

Broccoli

Kales

Beans

Peas

Basil

Cilantro

Dill

Carrots

And in the greenhouse : 

Cucumbers

Cherry tomatoes

Zucchini squash

Above, another bunch of bananas ready for harvest. I will cut the bunch down now and let them hang in the shade until they start turning yellow. It won't take long. By harvesting them green but mature, I can prevent the birds and rats from eating them.
