Our third harvest of lettuce, chard and kale loosely filled an 18 quart container. This is from cuttings of 8 lettuce plants.
Youngest daughter and I finished planting the fruit today. We planted two peach trees and two grape vines.
Yesterday, I thinned out the beets and carrots that were planted directly from seed. The plants were about four inches tall and the roots about a quarter inch thick. I used these to make a delicious "green" smoothie which my youngest daughter stated was the best smoothie she had ever had. Here is the recipe for our "Smooth Reddie":
Smooth Reddie
------------------
2 cups filtered water
2 frozen bananas
2 cups frozen peach slices
3 cups loosely packed beet thinnings (leaves and thick part of root)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Blend until smooth
