First Harvest of the Season

Woow. We had our first harvest of the season today. With the weather cooperating and being in the conditions that lettuce like, we harvested our first leaves and made a salad. It was amazing, delicious and of course so much fun. We had to add   some leaves  of baby spinach that we picked up from our farmers' market on Sunday, but the majority of it was our own lettuce variety and we enjoyed every bit of it. Hope you friends out there can visit us this summer and taste some of our veggies as well. In fact it was a historical day for MLF. Usually, when there is salad for dinner, I am the one who gets the most and he eats by BT's force. However, tonight was not the case. After having a generous portion, he joined me to get some more. In the end, he got it all and didn't leave any for me. When we sat back, he said "Sorry, I didn't leave any for you, did you REALLY want some more?" Well what do you say, no I didn't want some more, I can always make more in a week or so.  It made me very happy that he was eating greens without any outside force :) :) :)












Our first harvest. It doesn't look much but it made a lot of salad.
