First Harvests this Week 5/8/25

 

I have been harvesting lettuce from the green stalks that I have in my green house -for salads and wilted lettuce for husband. (yuck)



I also harvested some green onions.




I was able to pull up some radishes for salads too.


I'm thankful for the greenhouse and the greenstalks that sit on higher land than the garden.  It's very wet right now.




I just transplanted the herbs back outside.


I have mustard greens growing in two small raised beds.  There are some peas in the middle of them somewhere.  Crazy idea I had ...I'll see if it works soon.

The fencing is for the chickens...they love mustard greens and digging for no reason.  Help me.



Tomatoes are growing great but I can't grow a pepper plant for the life of me.  

Back is slowly getting better-I do a little at a time and all is well.  Apparently the chiropractor said that I will never feel 16 again but I will get a lot better...I guess that's ok.

How's your garden growing?

That is great you are harvesting already. I haven't even planted. I love wilted lettuce!

I'm so glad to see you back and that you are doing better. Just think what we could get done with the body of a 16 year old! We bought me a lift chair today for my 65 year old body.

My garden is in its very infant stage at this point. It's not warm enough to really plant or start anything. But I stuck a few potato eyes into one of our planters just to see if anything starts. Does that count?

I think wilted lettuce is an acquired taste. Not only does my husband love it but my dad loved it too.

Oh a lift chair sounds like a wonderful investment. I know you will love it! My biggest problem right now is getting in our bed. We shouldn't have never bought that high of a mattress a couple of years ago but we didn't think of getting older!

Yes mam that counts! It's all an expierment!

How neat to see what is growing in your garden! I’m glad your back is getting better too. 😊

I have spinach, radishes and butter lettuce coming up. It was 37 over night and they survivied. Thankfully. Your garden looks good.

Great growing Amy! Spinach...I should have grown spinach.
We've been cold too- it was 31 on Thursday night but everything has survived. I'm glad yours did too. Have a great week.

Thankyou Belinda. The back is slowly getting better. Today we are walking in the Ford Mansion ...I hope I can do it without a problem.
