Lettuce from the Garden

It has been an interesting journey adding @carondeletgarden to our retirement hobbies. As the garden grew, so did our options for fresh fruit and vegetables I could consider adding to the dishes I was creating @carondeletkitchen.

I was always under the impression that our garden would only be active in the warmer months. Big Guy and I had a learning curve as we studied about the cycles of the garden. We quickly learned to plant our garlic in the Fall and that lettuce could be grown not only in the Fall but in early spring.

We have already planted our buttercrunch, red Butterworth, and spinach. Spring storms and bunnies are always a threat, but I am already dreaming up salad ideas along with ways to use spinach in pizzas and pasta. I now look forward to this time of year to add fresh produce to my meals while planning my summer plantings.
