I also harvested a basket of spinach, though I forgot to photograph it. It will be the last spinach of the year. I don't protect it and the leaf quality will start to go down hill fast as we see colder and colder weather. By the end of the week we might even see single digits (-13C and lower for those of you that use a reasonable measuring system for your temperature). The spinach will survive our temperatures with no problem over the winter. Most of the older leaves will have died by spring, but the new leaves will be quick growing.

Harvest Monday is a day to show off your harvests, how you are saving your harvest, or how you are using your harvest. If you have a harvest you want to show off, add your name and link to Mr Linky below.
Good looking tatsoi and mizuna. Planted both years ago. Should look into planting them again next year as they are both very hardy.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad the bok choy didn't make it but the tatsoi and mizuna sure look pretty. It's not supposed to get quite that cold here, though it's still been colder than normal for December. We've got snow cover at the moment which should help insulate things a bit.
ReplyDeleteMy harvests are more in the way of decorations than food this week! I'm hoping I might be able to pull the last of my leeks later today, though.
ReplyDeleteYour Tatsoi and Mizuna look lovely! Beautiful end of the season harvest.
ReplyDeleteYour bok choi looks amazing, I grown it many times but my plants always remain smaller
ReplyDeleteSuch a harvest for early December!. As I write this I see your temperature is 35 degrees. I just checked my garden and it is 33 degrees at 7 am two blocks from the ocean!
ReplyDeleteI've got one last post with colorful veggies that I raked in before the big chill hit here, but the garden is shot now. A few nights in the low 20's has really done things in, I'm not sure I'll even get my usual winter veggies. I'm glad to see that you managed to get a final few veggies from the garden too.
ReplyDeleteI've joined in this week - hope you don;t mind that I really harvested on Friday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tatsoi! I love that stuff, have a bit growing too. Never thought of mizuna for fall, maybe because I was inundated with it in the spring and my fall spinach was an epic fail. You are lucky to have it!
ReplyDeleteSorry Daphne, I had no harvests this week, so I have nothing to contribute to Harvest Monday. I have Pasnips in the ground, I have some Cavolo Nero that is pickable, and a few remaining Brussels Sprouts, but I can't genuinely claim to have picked anything this time!
ReplyDeleteMinus 13 degrees C is something I can't even contemplate. We barely get minus 1-2 degrees C in winter here. I'm amazed you can grow anything at those temps, so well done.
ReplyDeleteAll of your harvests are sooo beautiful! I love your blog. I have been reading it for about 3 years but just recently started blogging. Thanks for hosting Harvest Monday every week!
ReplyDeleteWell, your greens look a lot healthier than the ones I picked today! I have given up for the winter and will be buying my organic lettuce and organic spinach from the store for awhile. It is December so I am thankful to have lasted this long picking from our garden! Nancy
ReplyDeleteI really must try mizuna and tatsoi!
ReplyDeleteSynchronicity with the tatsoi! Wish we'd left some to see how far they can go into winter, but the Gardener insisted on cleaning out the beds...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tatsoi! Must try growing them again next year, and hopefully will get bis rosettes such as yours. --Angie.
ReplyDeleteDaphne, I don't know what happened! I didn't mean to link another post, and an old Thanksgiving one at that! I must have pressed on an old linky stored value. Would you be able to remove that second accidental post? Sorry for the trouble. --Angie.
ReplyDeleteIt's no problem and has been deleted.
DeleteI'm always amazed by what you manage to grow in your climate, Daphne. That tatsoi looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat's one thing I love about tatsoi - it really is ultra hardy with a little protection. We got a dusting of slushy snow yesterday on the South Shore. Winter is definitely here!
