Harvest Monday

Happy Monday everyone!

I've been MIA in this space for a bit due to the fact that there have been no harvests to post about.  Trust me, I've been very sad about it!  However, this week I actually have a harvest to celebrate!


Yep, we've made it back into another green season!  These mixed greens have been growing happily under our grow lights in our laundry room and provided us with an entire salad for 7 adults for Christmas dinner yesterday (the salad went perfectly with lasagna and french bread)!  And there are still more to harvest!

Now, as you know, greens aren't very heavy, but they sure are yummy :-)


This weeks totals:
  • Lettuce = 7 ounces

2011 total:
  • 182 pounds

So, it looks like I won't make my goal of 200 pounds this year, but I'm OK with it.  It gives me room to grow next year ;-)

    You should be proud. 200 pounds is a lot of greens. Good luck with your goal.

    Those greens look lovely -its great that they were laundry grown as well. Oh to think of all those under-utilised laundries the world over, there's growing space everywhere when you think about it.

    B, B, B, and B - Thanks! I'm definitely proud, though there's no way we'll hit 200...this year, at least ;-) Thanks for popping over!

    Liz - Thank you! I've been thinking a lot about minimizing wasted space, re-organization and making the best of what we have...sounds like a good theme for the coming year :-)
