Winter Greens - Harvest Monday

All winter we have had wonderful greens. I have had this box covered all and the spinach and lettuce have loved their little grow house. I took their cover off last week and ended up having to put it back on for the last three nights. Hopefully we have seen our last freeze and I will be able to toss the cover into the storage building.

 

We love cooked mixed greens with a little bacon, onion and garlic. I need to plant a new bed of greens since this one will grow something new this spring. I am still playing with my garden plan but I will hopefully have the plan finished soon - If school and life will let me.

I am so excited to get to participate in Harvest Monday. Be sure to go to  Daphne's Dandelions to see what others are harvesting!

 

Alex helped me pull a few carrots for our Pot Roast this week. Some of our carrots are still pretty small but it is great to have anything from the garden in February.

I can not believe how crazy this last week has been. Fun but Crazy.

The garden is producing more than we can eat and my neighbor's are starting to find produce on their front porches.

Harvest Monday - 30 April 2012

I am participating in my first Harvest Monday! Over the last two years I have watched every one's posts just waiting for the day I could add a harvest. The day has finally come. I have a harvest.

I was able to harvest my lettuces twice this week. I do not have a scale, but both times I filled up one of my large kitchen bowls. I don't know how long I will have lettuce since our summers are usually in the upper 90's and low 100's. I am working on a shade structure for their bed. I just hope it keeps the plants and ground cool enough. I would like to be able to grow lettuce all summer.

Harvest #1 - A large bowl of mixed lettuce. It was a wonderful salad!

Harvest #2 - I almost forgot to get a picture of this bunch. Oops!  

Harvest Monday is a day to show off your harvests, how you are saving your harvest, or how you are using your harvest. If you have a harvest you want to show off, visit Daphne's Dandelions and join in!
