I started four rows of greens in mid- to late-April. Here’s how they look, about four weeks later.
I went outside this afternoon and picked a handful of each to eat with our lasagna this evening. Here is our future salad:
Lettuce is very easy to grow, and I like to sow the seed thickly so it grows in bunches and chokes out weeds. It looks so pretty in rows like this, especially when the rabbits haven’t eaten it all. I’m certain the greenhouse saved these greens.

Looks great – I love the idea of having a fresh salad available on hand in the garden.
Katie: Thanks, me too. Unfortunately the arugula has already begun to bolt. I was going to give some to my co-workers.
