Early Summer Harvest

Here are some pictures of our harvest last week. Snap peas, collard greens, Touchstone Gold beets, one of the 47 heads of Drunken Woman Frizzy Headed lettuce, and some overwintered shallots that I grew last Summer or Fall.

We harvested maybe 60 or 70 huge collard green leaves, blanched them and froze them to use this winter.

The beet greens were partially devoured by leaf miners that I didn't tend to, but we made a large warm beet green salad with the rest!

The pictures don't do the greens and brilliant color of the beets justice. These were taken with a camera phone that is not very good with color. The beets are a vibrant orange-red and the taste of these beets (this is my first year growing this variety) is very very mild, which W prefers, since he is not a huge beet fan.
