Sweet Potato Harvest
What joy! Dug a hole today for a Pitaya and discovered a decent sized tuber. So we thought we'd dig up the small patch of sweet potatoes. What a haul!
These have got to be my new favourite veg. Looking forward to dinner tomorrow night!

The Enormous Radish!
Ok - this has to be the brag of all brags.....
Check out this radish!
Yes, that's a normal radish next to it. Same variety, planted in a different spot.
I pulled this up when I was weeding thinking it was wild radish (the weed). It was 13.5 cm in length and 10cm across.
THIS is what happens when you buy your soil from the Green Life Soil company people!!!
I dare one of you to plant turnips in their vegie concentrate!!!
And to top it off, no it wasn't woody at all despite it's massive size. It tastes fine. We're using it in sushi and salads.... to be honest I don't know what else to do with that much radish.
Once again for those of you who missed it before.

Enjoying the Harvest
My friend from Albany came up today and left armed with seedlings, seeds and inspiration to start a 'serious' vegie garden! And you know what sold the idea? Lunch!
I very quickly threw together a Thai style soup. The only things from the cupboard were the fish, fish sauce and coconut milk. Other ingredients included Bok Choy, Beetroot leaves, silverbeet, spring onion, chives, parsley, chilli, lemon juice, lime juice, kaffir lime leaves, mustard greens, celery, snow peas and nasturtium leaves (basically anything green the kids found and wanted to throw in the basket).
It was actually rather divine - if I do say so myself! And she marvelled at the fact that her two young children happily munched their way through that many vegetables, besides the ones they'd eaten out in the garden. Hence the inspiration!
Here is a picture of the harvest for a salad a couple of weeks ago.
Are we making progress or what!!! Check out that proudly blemished capsicum - no pesticides here! Just need to plant more - lots more, so we can harvest more than once a week/two!
