We had our first salad from our garden tonight.
Addie was quite insistent on planting lettuce this year , so although I thought we had missed the cool season window of opportunity, I let her throw some little plants and seeds in. Much to my surprise, we have lettuce! Lots o’ lettuce.
The butter lettuce is still working its way up, but the romaine lettuce we harvested tonight, along with some tomatoes…
…and our salad was delicious. Even Emma who we are sloooowly converting to the dark side as a salad lover, had a nice big bowl of it and didn’t complain. (Too much.)
Addie also chose golden zucchini to plant and is anxiously awaiting zucchini bread and muffins.
I’m waiting on the beets to be ready.
And Bob here is just keeping an eye on everything for us.
Addie pleaded her case for a garden gnome when we were in JoAnns one day. She ended up spending her allowance on him, and just tonight while we were picking our veggies she exclaimed, “I think Bob really likes it in our garden.” (Bob?! Ahhh..ok.)
Blueberries are having a little bit harder time, we seem to have some sort of animal that likes berries and has found our bushes this year.
But the lavender we planted last year is taking over our trash area and making all of the bees in the yard very happy.
And although Daddy doesn’t like hydrangeas, it is one of Addie and my fave flowers and our bush that we’ve been coddling for a few years has finally, finally taken off!
