Bed o' greens (and a few reds)
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.

Patti - Hope you're enjoying it :)
Lacy - Too bad I can't stick some in the mail to you. If I could I would!
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! :)

Kristianna - I've heard the NE has been waterlogged, how frustrating! Thanks so much for stopping by :)
