First Harvest of 2010

Last night I snipped enough lettuce from the salad table, and a bit from my right raised bed for 2.5 side salads (the .5 being Boy Wonder's mini salad). I also pulled a few of the radishes growing there. I finally grew radishes! Only took me three tries. HA!

My harvest:

They're still teeny little things, but at least I can say I've grown them now!
 
 The carrots and peppers are store bought (for now!)
 

The LO tried a slice of radish when I showed him the pink (pink is the one color he can identify 100%), and promptly spit it out, running off screaming "Eeeew! Bugh, Mommy!" Boy Wonder said he didn't like them, but had no problem finishing them.

I'm very happy with the taste and growth habit of the Summer Crisp Lettuce. I've already sown more seeds in my left raised bed. The French Breakfast radishes are rather bland compared to the few store bought kinds I've tried. I wonder if it's the variety... I'm leaving the rest of the radishes in the table for a while to see if they get bigger, and if the taste changes.

  1. Woohoo!!! I'm jelous. I need to get out there and add the compost to the garden. I'm so irritated with myself for not doing it over the winter holidays. Now it's raining or it's blasted frigid every weekend. Grumble, grumble.
