Harvesting garlic

On 28/07/2010 in Grow & eat

others thrown in for good measure. I'm thrilled with the results. The bulbs are massive, swollen during the early hot weather we had this year.This must be the first year that I've harvested a crop of garlic with no traces of rust: not a pustule in sight


Harvesting potatoes

On 28/08/2008 in Unassigned

We've been harvesting potatoes. After the dreaded potato blight hit the rows of potatoes I was quick to employ my son to cut off and rake up all the haulms.Although we couldn't lift the tubers immediately and we had a lot of rain, when we did lift


My favourite harvest recipes

On 09/09/2011 in Grow & eat

To celebrate Gardeners' World Magazine's Harvest Week, running from 12-18 September, I thought I'd share a few of my favourite easy harvest recipes. One of them is a salad - so isn't technically a recipe - but it's so good it's worth a mention

Do I harvest my Potatoes soon?

On 28/06/2012 in forum

Our potatoes have been growing in a potato sack since mid-April. The plants themselves are getting really big (we've even had to tie some to a stake to hold the plants up). When do you reckon would be a good time to start harvesting? Not sure what


Harvesters and Grazers

On 07/08/2009 in Allotments

Allotmenteers fall into two camps, I've decided, after closely observing patterns of behaviour on our site. There are the Harvesters, those who pick a crop in batches, a row of carrots at a time, a few lettuces or a basketful of strawberries


Harvesting Squash

On 03/09/2012 in forum

I started growing Squash for the first time this year, and this is the sole harvest from 4 plants. Two went by the wayside early on,because I was unaware they had to be pollinated. Despite efforts to do this with my other two, this is the only one
