Guess what?!?!?! My garden is producing good lettuce!
Justin re-purposed a picnic table (on the sides) & made me a raised garden bed:
I planted lettuce, carrots, corn, strawberries and tomatoes, although I learned the hard way that you have to use Sluggo. Snails ate most of my lettuce. I have 4 heads going strong. Tomatoes are dying for some more sun, but currently they are HUGE (pic later). Riley has killed at least one stalk of corn, but I think we'll have some carrots eventually! The strawberries are also ripening--However, I'm sure Brooklyn will eat them before I get a chance to pick any.
Anyway, last night we enjoyed our home-grown lettuce. It was satisfying knowing where it came from! (Raspberries came from Justin's parents, and zucchini & beans are courtesy of Trader Joe's. ;)
