Harvest at home

For the last few weeks we have been harvesting salad from our raised bed. At the weekend we picked the first Iceburg lettuce:

The above pic doesn't really give you a sense of scale so here is a medium-sized leaf next to my coffee cup:

It really had reached epic proportions! Unfortunately it was only just starting to "heart up" but I had to remove it to give some of the smaller lettuces room to grow on. The biggest leaves had to be cut into quarters to fit into our large salad spinner. The leaves don't have as much flavour as some of the others we've grown (e.g. Catalogna, Lollo Rosso) but were lovely and crispy.
We also picked an "All the Year Round" lettuce:

This one has a very dense heart and thick sweet crispy leaves. We have a lot more lettuce ready for harvesting and smaller plants in pots waiting to fill the gaps as we harvest stuff. I sowed more seed last week with the hope that we can have a continuous supply until late autumn.
We have also started harvesting the first of our spring onions sown way back on 8th Feb:

There are only two in the pic since we are only harvesting as we need them! Finally, a non-edible, but pretty nonetheless:

These are Spencer-mixed sweet peas. We currently have 4 vases full of flowers dotted around the house filling the house with their distinctive perfume.
