Summer... The days have been chilly and windswept as the fog rolls in and out. Ah the Bay Area. Today was hot and sunnny, and it was a lovely reminder of what summer means some places. Here are some pictures of exciting harvests we've had lately that I just have to share:
There are so many dried favas. Plenty to have for planting this winter, and some to eat too. I've never cooked dried favas before.
Potatoes are sooo much fun to harvest. These were pink inside too, large and delicious and there are more out there.
Also, three kinds of citrus. Only a few fruit per tree at the moment, but they are young trees, and guess what? They are delicious! We sampled this navel orange, and a mandarin that were sweet and juicy and sun-warmed scrumptiousness.
The bittersweet harvest was the beehive. After all that crazy swarming this spring, looks like our hive didn't make it. So lots of beeswax to clean, honey to drain, mead to ferment, pollen to pick out of the comb. Glad we caught one of the swarms. Now to figure out what happened.
And there is loads of garlic. About 5 different kinds, currently, hanging in the unfinished closet in my house in the back yard drying as it's a relatively shady/cool/out of the way spot.
