Welcome to Harvest Monday, where we celebrate all things harvest related. For the origin of Harvest Mondays, please visit our happy acres. Yes, I know it’s March, four months later, but better late than never!
Bananas:
I was watching my bunch of bananas almost but not quite ripen over several months. Then it got to holiday time, so I harvested and gave them to my neighbour to eat as they ripen. 4kg.
But after I returned from holidays, they had ALL ripened, All at once! My poor neighbour had eaten a few, and frozen a few, but then gave me back the rest of my bananas. So I dehydrated them for later snacks.
Raspberries:
I got two raspberries! I took one photo. 6g.
Blueberries:
6g of blueberries, nellie kelly/sunshine. So sweet. Happy I beat the birds to the fruit.
Broadbean (singular):
My neighbour in a fit of enthusiam planted broad beans for me. In a spot that got no sun. I think I grew mostly aphids, and then just as summer arrived I got one broadbean. The broadbean plants definitely wanted to ensure survival of the species by giving me one bean! 8g, although once podded, I think it was only 4g.
Cherry tomatoes:
75g this harvest. The plant is a compost volunteer.
Harvest Summary for November 2023:
So dear reader, have you harvested anything from your garden recently? How does your garden grow? Have you had any raging success with compost volunteer plants?

Dehydrating the bananas is a great idea! We bought some already dried at a farmer’s market at a recent trip to Hawaii. I use the bananas in my breakfast muesli, and let milk rehydrate them a bit.
