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".
