First Harvest

News from my farm!

Today I had my first harvest.

2 of the romaine plants had leaves big enough that

they needed to be harvested, so I took a knife out

and picked some lettuce for my lunch.

Here's what I got, that is actually a pretty good 

sized bowl, probably about 8" across, so it's a

pretty decent sized salad.

If hubby was home, I could have made 2 dinner salads

from what I got.

My only mistake was that the leaves were a little limp,

I probably should have watered them,

and picked it later.

But I ran them under some cool water and they did 

perk up a bit.

Live and learn.

Here is my salad,

added a little cheese, croutons and onions

and I have a nice tasty salad.

It was 3 weeks ago that I planted my farm and I'm

surprised to have something to eat already.

Can't wait to have more.

These are the 2 that I picked from, 

I only picked the outside leaves,

so the lettuce should continue to produce.

Something special about eating something that you 

grew yourself.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Do you have a vegetable garden?

What do you grow?

Hope to see you again soon.
