Second harvest

Yesterday, we gleaned the second harvest from our lettuce frame. This provided enough lettuce, arugula and radicchio for four people for dinner. With the warmer temperatures this week, I predict that our harvest next weekend will provide enough lettuce for at least two salads for four people.

Also included in this post is a closeup of the beech seedlings. They have an unusual "lily-pad" initial formation which then sprouts a more traditional leaf stem.

We had three hard frosts in a row this weekend. I didn't think that asparagus was susceptible to frost, but several of the stalks have wilted.
