This Week's Vegetable Harvest From the Container Garden

The weather has not been good for the vegetables for the past two weeks. It has been raining over here quite frequently as the year is coming to an end. The monsoon season will be here soon. Here's a summary of what is happening in the container garden.

The okras have been doing really great. Just this week alone, I managed to fill up 2 plastic containers with just okras.



The leafy vegetables were doing ok too, I guess. When I harvested them, the soil was quite wet. And the fungus ngats were having a party!

My broccoli bolted as the weather for the past 4 months were too hot. And broccoli being a cool weather crop did not do well at all in this weather. I was really looking forward to home grown broccoli.

The broccoli stems. I harvested the soft ones and threw the 2 bolted plants away. 
 I sliced them thinly
I added thinly sliced carrots and garlic
Lightly stir fried with sunflower oil and voila, a simple vegetable dish!
