We just got back from a fabulous Thanksgiving trip to Monterey with son Scott, his wife Nicole, and our three granddaughters. I’ll post photos from that trip later. But first, Harvest Monday. Not much to report, I’m afraid, as we’ve been out of town. Here it is.
Two small yellow onions and a bunch of kale constitute this week's harvest.
VEGETABLES
4.5 oz. kale
3 oz. yellow onions
Total harvest: 7.5 oz. produce and 3 eggs
To see what others might be harvesting, visit Daphne’s Dandelions.

Looks good, a harvest is a harvest. I didn’t managed to start seeds for kale, oh well, maybe I can try to wintersow them and hope for a spring crop.

Mac, my spring sown kale from 2010 is STILL not ready to harvest. This kake was from my 2007 crop, which is still growing. I can hardly wait to get my plot going at the community garden.

Hey, VeggiePAK, you can have Henny Penny. I think she’s gone into menopause. Oh, but it was eggs you were wanting, not chickens per se. Oh well.

That’s a nice harvest…and I have to agree with the others. I only harvest 4 scallions and some parsley this week!

Kale seems to be a big one for harvests this week. I love seeing how things change week over week. Pretty harvest.

Thanks, Daphne, but my produce photos can’t hold a candle to yours.

Onions and kale are the start of a good meal! My kale is healthy but not growing much at the moment due to cold and dark/gloomy days. They will spring forth when the sun length and strength starts turning around the other direction but I have about two months of super low greens production to still look forward too.
