Our Little Garden is Still Growing

See those pretty salads? I made those the other day to go with our lunch (left over soup brought to us by our dear friend Roe). And guess where I got the lettuce? Yep, our garden.

In keeping with my total lack of agriculture and farming, urban though it may be, I had no idea when and how to harvest lettuce. Thanks to Google though, I now know that those leaves we were seeing on the top of the soil are the actual lettuce leaves. For some reason, I thought the head of lettuce grew under ground. Clearly, the green thumb in our family is not on these hands. Anyway, Google said that as soon as you could see the leaves, you could eat them. So I went to our 3 or 4 lettuce plants and picked enough leaves for two lovely salads.

And, though very dirty and a bit small, the lettuce was delicious! Thanks to Heather for planting the lettuce, Ian for watering it and the sun (and God) for making it grow!
