I planted three kinds of lettuce in the new raised bed on Sunday: kale, arugala and red bibb lettuce. It all came up last year, but I couldn't remember which came up faster. Well, this year it's arugala.
This morning I took this picture of the first leaves breaking through the soil. I started liking salads when I realized that the fresh stuff from local farmers actually tasted good.
Years of supermarket greens, particularly iceberg lettuce, had left me less than enthused. Patricia Wells' excellent book, "Salad as a Meal", has also motivated me to give the green stuff more attention. Karen checked out Wells' book at the Blount County Public Library and we discovered several enticing recipes. We plan to buy a copy for our ever-expanding personal library of cookbooks.
