WEEKLY HARVEST - OCT 4


This week I got more from my garden.
I picked my vegetables every day.
Actually, just a little amount of vegetables for each day, but it made my refrigerator was overload.

From my front yard, there were bilimbi, green globular eggplant, white cabbages and green cabbages.

From back yard, there were cabbages, kara beans, cauliflowers, green amaranth, red amaranth, three variety of red long chilli, little hot chilli (cabe rawit), sweet corn, leunca (Solanum nigrum), tomatoes, celery and green onion.












From terrace garden, there were tomatoes, green onion, green chives, red lettuce, green lettuce, hot pepper, and green cabbage.








The rain began to fall this week, so... the weather cooler than before.
Next week I hope better weather.

    1. We use bilimbi as a jam, syrup, candied fruits, chutney, fresh juice, or many kind of fish dish. Fruits flavor is quite sour and fresh taste. You can read my old post about bilimbi.

  2. You have done very good with your plants, such a variety. What you could do with an acre of land!

    1. If I have an acre of land, I will optimize that land for little meadow for (my) cows - goats - sheeps, fish ponds, big cage for hens and rooster, vegetable garden, barn and flower garden. That's really a sweet dream for me. It's not easy to realize that dream. Wide land is already limited here, and the price is very expensive..

  7. Wow, what a bumper harvest! I am always interested in unusual things to eat so I looked up the bilimbi, here in London you can buy just about any fruit and vegetable from all around the world, but it doesn’t seem to be any bilimbi available here. Maybe it doesn’t store well enough to be flown to Britain? I have no vegetables left in my garden, just herbs but some of them will continue to produce all through the winter as it doesn’t get too cold here.
