I wasn't planning on making a salad until i remembered the fresh baby bibb lettuce in the cold frame. I grabbed a gallon ziplock back and began to thin the row a bit. This helps in two areas, firstly it feeds me, and secondly it makes room for other plants to fill out. I plan to do more thining about Wednesday. Between the lettuce i planted in the cold frame and that which i planted in the open garden, only the cold frame was successful. All the plants that began to come up in the garden were eaten.
I was also able to pick some fresh carrots that i had planted last fall. They overwintered well and were vey crisp and flavorful. i plan to plant a larger area of broadcast seed for a carrot bed around the small cabbage seedlings. I tried my hand at juicing tonight with my "Back to Basics" hand juicer. It's just like an old timey hand crank grinder with a fine screen for juicing fruits and veges. The carrots worked pretty well, but it will take quite a few to get a decent size glass of juice. Wheatgrass juice may be next on the menu - we'll see.
Love and Blessings, ~ ab
