It's time to get out and get that spring garden planted. We've made our annual trek to the hardware to get our seeds and starter plants.
My husband thinks BIG. I think, if you plant small and take care of what you plant, you will have an abundance of produce. Before we go in, we have our usual discussion. This year we compromised. I was willing to go with several more plants than I think are necessary. He was willing to buy somewhat less than he thinks we need. He would love enough to feed the local school system, as well as, anyone else that shows an interest in our garden. I still say, you can feed yourself and many friends if you plant small and take good care.
I do believe that deep down he dreams that when anyone Googles corn or tomatoes, his name will come up.
Anyway, we got several kinds of lettuces, spinach, broccoli, kale, Bok Choy and many onion sets.
I like to plant a lot of onions because in our climate you can pull them practically all year.
I planted garlic in the spring, so I can't wait to harvest that about July or August. This year was my first at planting garlic. If my timing is right and I get a good harvest, I'll be planting a lot more next fall.
If you don't have a garden, you can easily plant lettuce in a pot. You can get seeds or little plants at your hardware. Just a few plants will yield all you will need. Any size pot will do, but obviously the larger the pot, the more lettuce you will have.......in just a few weeks! You'll never be without again.
When the lettuce is ready to be picked, just pinch it about one inch from the stalk and enjoy! In a few days, it will begin to grow again.
