Garden

So I am totally digging going into the back yard and bringing back stuff we can eat! I mean seriously, how cool is that?!? You can see the strawberries above - that was the first batch, we've gotten two more since then that were about twice that size. I'm thinking strawberry milkshakes tonight with the ice cream that is on sale at Price Chopper!

My lettuce is doing excellent as well - see below. I trimmed off what you see in the bowl for dinner tonight - it's a mixture of lettuce and spinach. I think I probably got a little carried away with how much I planted, so we'll be eating a lot of salad. But that is ok because I am totally addicted to salad right now - spinach leaves, craisins, mandarin oranges, almonds, and poppyseed dressing - yummy! It's been my lunch for quite some time now!

Sadly, the watermelon is not going to make it and the cantaloupe is questionable. Something ate the entire leaves off the watermelon and they didn't grow back, so I think those are done. The cantaloupe look like they are dying, so I am disappointed about that. But everything else looks good so far, I think next we'll probably have radishes.
