FIRST HARVEST of the NEW YEAR 2021!
It has been a wet start to the new year. Rained since early morning till evening. That is not going to stop our first new year harvest! Harvested about 100g each of Cos/Romaine and Red Oaks for dinner and brekkie. Although the Red Oak doesn't seem to have much of a red look them. These are on Day 23 since seeding. At this stage, the lettuces look young and tender. Not much bulk and probably fibre to them yet. Taste-wise, sweet. Less crunchy compared to the ones that we get from the markets. But very happy with the yield and quality of greens.
Part of the reason for harvesting early is to thin out the batch. Each pot is now left with just one plant each. These will be left to a full 28 - 30 days (as suggested by many fellow home growers) to see the outcome.
The before and after look!
