The first crop of the garden for us is always a bed of mixed greens and lettuces. I love it with only a simple oil & vinegar dressing. My mom said it also made a good wilted lettuce salad.
Even this small bed was more than we could eat and give away this year. A few days after cutting a section, you could hardly tell where it had been cut. It’s been a good spring for lettuce.
That looks just yummy!!!!
wow– that would sure cut down on my grocery bill! how lucky your give-away friends are!
Patti – Hope you’re enjoying it :)Lacy – Too bad I can’t stick some in the mail to you. If I could I would!
This year was my first year with a city garden … I have decided that I definitely need to expand my lettuce production next year … gosh, guess hubby’s going to have to help me dig up another garden bed … maybe 2 garden beds, your post the other day made me want to grow strawberries too, lol!
Linda – I agree, there’s nothing like fresh lettuce from the garden! Or a spinach & strawberry salad 🙂
Wow! That lettuce row is *impressive*. Here in the northeast I am having trouble getting *any* greens to grow. 🙁 We have had nothing but rain for months now. Oh, wait, there were those three sunny days…I came across your blog while reading Walter’s blog. I love your blog and photos and I just wanted to say so. Thanks! :)K
Kristianna – I’ve heard the NE has been waterlogged, how frustrating! Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂
