Our First Harvest
April28
In a 2-gallon pot near our front door, we grew salad greens. The seed packet was $1.89.
This picture was taken a few days after we planted the seeds in March.
I picked only about 1/4 of the greens this past weekend and this is what I got.
This was enough for my husband and I to have a large dinner salad.
Fresh salad mix picked at my convenience…it works for me!
Thanks to We Are THAT Family for hosting Works for Me Wednesday.
Wow, wow! i didn’t realize you could buy a seed mix like that. D’oh! This will save me lots of dough and be so much yummier then the stuff I buy in the bags. Thank you!
JUst a few days? I think this is very exciting for a beginner in planting – seeing sprouts in just a few days
I would love to try tomato and pepper (smallest ones) in the future. Nice to grow something to eat 
I’m sure you enjoyed the salad – it has that added “special” trait to it since you grew them.

Mmmmm! Fresh veggies make for the best nutrition.
I am new to your blog… visiting from WFMW… I love your unique blog design! Sometimes it seems that everyone is using the same fonts and colors… yours is a refreshing change.

This is how I am planting my lettuce this year. I’ve got 3 large pots to put on my patio. I think it will also be pleasing to the eye. Not to mention easier to get to then going out to the garden.
Have a great day.

[...] A week from planting these lettuce seeds, we have results! Lettuce does not fare well in the summer, so we’ll have to enjoy our greens in the next few weeks. You can see our lettuce experience from last year here. [...]
