First Harvest and Calendar Fail

Well, first the bad news: it seems my oh-so-toiled-over garden calendar is basically a fail. Not entirely, but it needs much re-working. I suppose this is next winter's project. It has served as an outline and a tool to make sure I stay on target, but as far as taking it literally, forget it.

In brighter news, we had our first salad of the season! And it was delicious! I grew Tom Thumb and Drunken Woman Frizzy Headed lettuce that have both really blossomed, even with the threatening cat poop of February and March. I am looking forward to many more tasty salads.

We also harvested some collards, spinach, and chicory that overwintered from last Fall. D has been eating spinach leaves right from the yard. She likes to spray them off and then just eat them, which pleases me immensely.
