Life in the Garden Part 41: Salad

This year's crops are off to a good start.  So far I've had only a few failures (mainly Romas and Peppers, though the Broccoli didn't turn our quite right either). That made it easy to make a salad today.

The Endive in a regular self watering pot and the Romaine in an Earthbox are both doing quite well.  They grew with little attention and were even easier to harvest.

I rinsed them off, tossed them in the salad spinner for a few turns, poured on some Ceasar dressing, and sprinled on powdered Parmesian.  In a few minutes I had quite the tasty lunch.   I guess this is quhy I keep growing stuff.

  1. Thank you for sharing your garden with the blogosphere. I just bought a tomato pot with soil and seeds in a aluminum. I've never grown anything before. I would like to grow lettuce. I like the idea of a self watering pot for the endive. Could you tell me more about growing lettuce. Did you use plants or seeds? Thanks in advance

  2. Your lettuces looks quite lovely. I am envious as it has been quite hot here so lettuces haven't done well. I like the idea of self watering containers too so will have to check on that further. Nice looking salad :)
