We finally had our first significant harvest today. We managed to harvest enough lettuce to make a salad for dinner, and we still have leftovers. We harvested all varieties of our lettuce, including Green Oak Leaf, Cracoviensis, Red Deer Tongue, Australian Yellow Leaf, and Black-seeded Simpson lettuce. We also cut some of our mom's Boston lettuce plants, which she bought as starter plants at the garden centre. In the picture above you can also see two radishes as well, one of them China Rose, and the other Plum Purple.
The salad we made included our freshly picked radishes, but also some oregano and chives from our herb garden. It also had tomatoes, cucumber, and apricots. It feels good to have a salad that includes lettuce and radishes that we grew straight from seed all by ourselves. We are hopeful that there will be many more salads like this to come.
