Still nothing is being harvested from the garden. But I am still eating some preserved things. The frozen spinach is still going strong.
Mango Curry with fried plantains and chard
As is the chard and kale. I probably have three more weeks, maybe more of greens in the freezer. And it is almost greens time in the garden. Not that I've seen any new leaves forming on the overwintered spinach and kale, but I have to believe it is going to happen. Maybe at the start of May?
The was the last of the frozen squash puree that I made. But I still have five more squash to eat. And I have sweet potatoes that need to be eaten by June as they start to sprout then.
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.
Its been a long time since I last participated Daphne, so am pleased to be part of Harvest Monday again; and looking forward to meeting and sharing growing notes with other veg gardeners.
Great looking meals again this week. I was also glad to read earlier in the week that your ground is finally unfrozen and you were able to do some planting!! :)
Don't worry, Daphne, even though our weather here has been less severe than yours, my crops are still sparse. I did harvest a few spears of Asparagus today, though!
Your meals are still looking so good. I have to agree that your frozen spinach looks so much nicer than my frozen spinach! Not much going on here yet but planted my seed tape carrots today and hoping! I have developed oral lichen plantis so eating is a challenge right now. Nancy

ReplyDeleteDid you use green or ripe mango to make your mango curry?
ReplyDeleteDo you mind posting how you freeze your spinach? Mine never comes out so fresh looking.
Ripe. I actually used frozen mango.
DeleteI blanch for two minutes (from when it hits the water) and cool immediately in ice water. Then I squeeze out the water and freeze it in a block.
Thanks, Daphne.
DeleteYour meals always look so yummy! I'm harvesting lots of fresh herbs and lettuces daily...
ReplyDeleteMy mouth waters thinking of your squash and sweet potatoes.

ReplyDeleteI'm with Norma - my spinach never looks this fresh and green after freezing. I do ok with chard though. Very nice looking meals..
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say other than "nom nom nom!"
ReplyDeleteLovely meals, I'll have to learn to eat some frozen veggies, they sure come in handy when there's no harvest in the winter.

ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that all your hard work last year is still paying off. I'm sure that fresh greens from your garden are not far off. :)
ReplyDeleteYummy looking meals!
ReplyDeleteFinally completed a post on our experiments with growing rice at home, and I like to think that some day even your rice will be from local sources!
