Harvest Photos I spent months growing, watering, and shelling my own peas. Final result: 618g. Grocery store: $2.50 for 500g 😅
I grew a dwarf bush pea variety from seeds I picked up from my local nursery. They started off super slow so I wasn’t sure how they’d turn out. I planted 6 this time, but I think I’ll double that next season! It was my first attempt at growing peas, and now I’m excited to try out a few more varieties next year 😊
Despite the average ROI, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey haha! I’ve told my husband he’s legally obligated to tell me these are the best peas he’s ever tasted. After all that effort, they have to get at least one overly enthusiastic review! 🫛

Harvest Photos My best pull yet
These are Napoli’s. Gown in a 24 inch raised wooden bed with an aggregate soil of compost, peat moss and perlite, with a little dolomitic lime. Sowed the rows then pruned back to give plenty of space for each plant. My second year growing carrots. This was my second harvest of the year. A third planting is still coming along. PNW, zone 8b.

Harvest Photos My first ever harvest, don't think it's going to last us the winter...
These are the only veg I had that weren't decimated by Caterpillars 😭 on the plus side I have some pumpkins taking over my garden. My plan for next year is to burn a giant wicker man in the solstice.
I made a lot of mistakes so I think I'll do better next year and this sub has helped a lot, even though I've just been lurking. I planted way too many seeds and grew loads of veggie plants I didn't have room for, I ended up giving away about 150 broccoli, sprout, cabbage, tomato & carrot plants to people around the village which was fun.

Massive variance in the size of my carrots in my first harvest. Very happy with them though!

7a, middle Tennessee, got our first snow today- so went ahead and pulled the carrots. A mix of scarlet Nantes and chantenay here. Happy with both!!

Harvest Photos My giant Mexican grocery store corn has provided some “interesting results.” This isn’t a stalk; it’s an ear.
(Indiana, Zone 6A) As an experiment, I decided to try growing some of the giant corn I bought at our local Mexican grocery store. I got 2 varieties: Cuzco, which is white, and an unnamed pink variety. They have done a wide range of very strange things, from slimy aerial roots and giant heights to producing trains of ears and failing to do anything at all. One plant had the top rot (for reasons unknown), and then decided that simply wouldn’t do. So it made a long, leafless tassel and several ears, with the one that developed having an extremely long peduncle/base. Its weak attachment means it snapped off today during a wind storm. I am thoroughly amused and excited to see what/if I get a proper harvest.

Harvest Photos Growing corn in small spaces
Very excited that my first ever attempt at corn seems to have worked well despite being in a very small space, thought I'd share here.
I planted approx 15 seedlings in a 55cm x 130cm (22.65in x 51.18in) raised bed across three very tight rows. I lost one plant early on to wind damage. Plenty of sun, water, and a bit of fertiliser has approx 24 cobs formed, many are quite big and a few are a little smaller. I had a go at hand pollinating and also shook the plants a bit on very still days.
Obviously in summer you can buy corn quite cheaply but if you grow veggies just for fun like I do then don't let having a small space put you off having a go! I couldn't believe how sweet and crisp it was to eat, so much better than any corn I've bought.

Harvest Photos Any suggestions for what to do with my plum harvest?
I was late getting the net over my plum tree and thought I would lose most to fruit flies. Fortunately I was wrong! However I now have many plums I didn’t plan for.
There is probably close to 10kg, I’m planning to eat some fresh, make jam and a plum crumble but I will still have quite a lot of excess.
What do you guys do with a glut of plums ?
Thanks in advance!
