It really doesn't get much better than this. Fresh lettuce from the garden!! Our lettuce is doing beautifully this year. All the rain and the cool nights have made it a gorgeous crop.
Although lettuce is one of the more time intensive veggies to get to the table I would have to say it's one of my favorite garden treats. Washing it takes a lot of time, and the fact that we mulched with grass has made it a little harder to clean. There are a LOT of grass clippings on it.
This year I planted Leaf Lettuce and Romaine. I don't usually let the Romaine go into heads I just cut it like leaf lettuce. Because the leaves are long and flat it is easier to wash.
We've also been eating a few little cucumbers and zucchini. My family likes to eat zucchini raw. We slice them up and eat them with ranch dressing or just plain.
I spent about a half hour pulling weeds today. I need to make it a priority to work a little on the weed crop every day--otherwise it gets overwhelming.
