Hello Everyone!! I am always so pleased with our harvests on the farm; the farm still keeps producing bountiful crops and there is always something new and exciting to eat. It never ceases to amaze me how generous the land can be if you are willing to put in a bit of time and work.
Plenty of Cassava to harvest right now.
A whole bed of sweet potatoes and it gets better…you can even eat the greens like a spinach.
Voluntary wild papayas dotted all around the farm. Get them before the birds feast on them.
This is malabar spinach. Simply stir-fry, steam or boil; also makes a great salad green. It can be started from cutting and grows well in boggy areas. This is such an easy green to grow that I think everyone should have a patch of this in their garden.
This is a cultivated variety of purslane; it makes a lovely salad green and the edible flowers add colour to a dish.
We have been harvesting these for about 3 months solid from one tree…and it has started flowering again! These have a crunch just like apples.
It is absolutely wonderful growing our own vegetables and fruit to eat. I would not have it any other way!
