6/27 veggie update
We get a pea harvest about this size every 3 or 4 days now. The Yugoslavian red lettuce bolted so we removed just enough for this weekend's burgers as the final harvest. Now that we know what we are looking for we can ID many more pepper buds in our garden. We'll have zucchini in under 2 weeks - these grow so, so fast.
6/27 flower update
Oh daisies!! I love your foliage when you aren't in bloom and this week your flowers impressed me big time. You are not like my bachelor buttons whose color is a welcome addition to my garden but overall effect is disappointing. I know I planted them too close together but I also don't like the flower itself and the height. Really the mix of colors is all that's going for it. Ah well, it's an annual so it won't be back. Also the japanese primrose continues to look like it's from another planet.

lettuce
The time has come to begin harvesting our small crop of lettuce. We tasted the speckled variety today (Forellenschuss). It wasn't anything special - kind of odd to have such flat and smooth leaves. Still, we enjoy the satisfaction that we grew this ourselves, from seed, and we made them a part of a chicken salad sandwich on homemade bread. The rest will be mixed in with some store bought lettuce to make a salad later in the week. . . .unless we decide to harvest another type in a day or two. We'll have to check the google calendar to see what is "ready".
