This Week’s Harvest – Bok Choy, Broccoli, Peas and More!

By: Pamela Reed
Posted:6/11/14
Updated:6/10/14

Hi guys!  Happy Wednesday! In today’s post I’m going to show you some of the yummy green harvest we’ve been picking!

The season usually starts with lots of green and then it’ll lead into more colors… the reds with tomatoes, the pinks with watermelon, the oranges with pumpkins… but first up the bushy green friends that make my heart pitter patter!  Right now it’s all about bok choy, broccoli, peas and cauliflower!  Because of these harvests we’ve been having some pretty delicious dinners… I just can’t say enough great things about a simple pasta dinner with fresh veggies! It’s always the best!   And if you want to take it to the next step, you can always make the dish creamier.  Who doesn’t love that? 

Last week we picked our first cauliflower.  Since then we picked a few more!  Cauliflower is one of those extra special plants that always gets you excited to see grow.  As soon as I see the small white head start to poke out I always let out a big sigh of happy relief.
Also, I’m totally living in black linen dresses this Summer!  
First big multi vegetable harvest of the year!  Sugar snap peas, broccoli, bok choy and the first cauliflower! HAPPINESS! #sugarsnap #sugarsnappeas #broccoli #cauliflower #bokchoy #basket #yum #green #freshfood #vegetablegarden #rooftop #NYC #Brooklyn #ve

Right next to the cauliflower is the broccoli, also a winner of hearts and sighs.   Right now our refrigerator is filled with broccoli, there’s no greater sight than that!

I love a good basket full of broccoli!  I’ll soon have a whole post dedicated to broccoli.. just because I love it so much!

Want to see something silly and sweet? This broccoli here had a leaf guarding one side so it left him with a half tanned design!

Next up is the Sugar Snap Peas!  We’re about to enter into a world full of Sugar Snap peas as the pounds we’re picking a day has quickly increased.  We tripled our sugar snap pea plants this year so it’s about to get intense!  One day it’s just plants… the next day it’s flowers.. then suddenly it’s peas everywhere!

Lastly we have the bok choy!  The bok choy plants grew amazing this year, pretty much we never expected them to grow this big or well.  What we’re left with is big bags full of bok choy!  Last night I made a delicious garlic bok choy noodle recipe that left me with ultimate harvest happiness!  I’ll be sharing the recipe on the blog next week!

I hope you guys enjoyed a look at this week’s harvest!

I also want to thank this little bee who keeps stopping by the garden.  It always makes my day when a bee somehow finds it’s way up to the roof and lives in the garden.  The same goes for ladybugs.   You guys are always invited in the garden!
Pretty much makes my day when a bee finds its way up to the rooftop and hangs out in the garden.  This bee has been back for a few days now, I totally they want to be friends! #bee #pollen #flower  #rhododendron #friends #bff #vegetablegarden #garden #gar

    I love all these fresh veggies – the bok choy looks so good! We are getting lots of lettuce, herbs, and radishes, but out green beans, peas, and some other plants have been slow going this year so far. It’s starting to get warmer (And warmer nights) so I’m hopig they pick up here pretty quickly!

    I’m growing purple bok choy this year, and both broccoli and cauliflower. I grew both the very first year I gardened, but the cauliflower variety was really peppery and didn’t grow well. That was in AZ though, so I’m hoping for better luck this year. I’ve got about 8-10 of each, in containers.

    I also planted yellow sweet peas for the first time. They are the rulers of the garden right now!

      Hi Cheri, what kind of bugs did you have a problem with? Occasionally we get aphids in the Fall on our broccoli but there are some sprays on the market now that will help you with that.

    Next year I want to try cauliflower or broccoli in my garden. I’m waiting for my snap peas to be ready… The plants are growing like crazy… but no actually peas yet. We have been getting some good rain.. so hopefully soon.
