Happy to say I am enjoying the first harvest of the veggie garden for this year. Having a home grown salad with my garden lettuce. Harris seed grows fantastic and quickly in my garden.
Looking down on the snow peas at right with lettuce on both sides of the row. Before long, the snow peas will be 4 feet tall and ready for harvest. I guess about a 3-4 weeks to wait.
The photo on the left shows the leaf lettuce on the one side of the trellis from above. Red and green leaf lettuce are being grown this year. I should have my first head of lettuce in about a month. Salads are on the table at my house most nights on the year. They are especially welcome early like this and when the first tomatoes are picked.
This is a close of of the snow peas on the right and was taken at ground level. They were hard to see in the above photos.
On the left here is the mesclun I harvested for my dinner tonight in the ground. Below you can see how much there is of the harvest stacked on my kitchen counter top.
For anyone who has not see this blog before I am an avid gardener and lapidary. Most of my inspiration comes from nature as can be seen in my work. Whether it is the arch of a branch, the stem of a bush or the pattern of a flower... I picture designs I make with wire and gemstones. As a lapidary, when I am cutting a stone my design can take shape based on what I see in the natural stone. With some pieces, I need to find a stone the right color and shape for my design.
My weeping cherry tree in the front yard. Did not want to miss showing off some of my flowers. Lucky to get a good shot this year. My helper behind the camera is Herb. He does more then help me plant veggies when I am unable to kneel. He has been a rock through this injury and recovery for me. I could not be here now without him. He is a keeper.
