potatoes
fava beans
onions

I didn't get to plant anything over the winter, but I started sugar snap peas in Jan, and I'm finally harvesting them. Had I started favas, I'd probably be up to my ears in them right about now.

Potatoes (this morning's harvest)
{{gwi:532871}}
Fava beans (need to be harvested...not my favorite task however)
{{gwi:532872}}
Onions (these are Red Torpedos, barbequed or fresh they are magnifique and onions should really be called "yum"ions)
{{gwi:532873}}

In addition to citrus and herbs, the swiss chard and lettuce is growing very well.

My harvest is similar to all of yous: swiss chard, chives, onion, Gai Long (Chinese Broccoli), Cilantro. I had to havest and pull Fava two weeks ago to make room for tomato seedlings.

homey_bird, how did you find out about the produce exchange in your city? Can I find things like that on the local newspaper?

Actually I found out from a friend who is active in the local gardening circles.

I'm not sure if they publish in the newspaper -- at least I did not catch a wind in the local paper. But maybe towards Friday they will publish something...

Beet greens, chard, herbs, lemons.

Cabbage, broccoli and peas.

I am harvesting nothing, but the birds are eating fresh strawberries every day *grrr* I need to get some bird netting up. Has anyone ever tried netting a hanging strawberry basket? I'm not sure how to go about doing that...

Flying Snails.

Here is a link that might be useful: Yup, flying snails. You read that right.

Peachymomo, I have been growing strawberries in hanging baskets next to my kitchen window for couple of years now. Great way to save them from squirrels in my yard. I do not know if birds will spare them, I have had no such incidences! My only suggestion would be to find a basket size that is sufficient for the plants.

Generally my experience is that berries are better off grown closer to the home structure.

Let me know if you need specific information.

Have had a ton of turnips, beets (and their yummy beet greens), mustard greens, a few carrots, some radishes, lots of lettuce, peas almost ready to harvest. Half my onions look great and half look weak.

...and lots of eggs from my chickens who are now back to producing after being very lackadaisical over Winter.

With very weak sun and many overcast days here in NoCal lately, the tomatoes have not had a chance to spring up, the peppers look sadly puny and frankly, I'm just a bit tired of waking up every morning only to see "64 degrees" as the day's "high".

Firsthouse, that's beautiful produce and awesome looking eggs! Thanks for posting!!

I know this is a question fit for cooking forum, but what do you make out of beet greens?

TIA!

Beet greens:
* chop up, saute and mix in with cous cous or quinoa
* add to quiche
* do a whole bunch of different greens like turnip greens, mustard greens, beet greens and or chard and make a delicious topping for polenta or pile on top of a steak
* add to omelets
* saute and stuff a chicken breast
...and if that's not enough recipes and your kids are sick of beet greens, feed them to your chickens :)

It's what's for dinner tonight.

Does your dwarf avocado need a pollinator?
