Rooftop gardening
September 25, 2011
The main September tasks are irrigation, the first autumn sowings and harvesting...
 My chili harvest: top row, from left: the Aji Amarillo (used in the Peruvian Chili Sauce), Aji Panca Red, Bishop's Hat, Hot Jim (dried), Jalapenona, Murupi Amarela (they were too hot, I gave them).
Second row: Numex Suave Orange, Pimento Piquillo (stuffed with rice and pesto), Shishito (frozen), Zavory (aromatic and sweet, I used them everywhere, from sandwiches to baked potatoes).
 From the top: Purple Beauty and Sweet Choco Peppers, Cuore di Bue and Lemon Plum tomatoes and a small aubergine Listada de Gambia.
 Rainbow chards, rhubarb chards and sorrel used for the recipe Spaghetti with Sorrel and Basil Pesto with other aromatic herbs.
Chilies: 520g
Tomatoes, bell peppers, aubergines: 310g
Sorrel and chards: 70g
Total 900g
This harvest joins to Harvest Mondays.
 This week many seeds from my autumn sowing are sprouting: the komatsuna in the picture, broad leaf mustard (or indian mustard), daikon, two new radish varieties for my collection and the borage from the seeds harvested in May with the gorgeous borage flowers.
 I'm growing again garden cress, it will be ready to be harvested soon, see all the Cress recipes.
