Early garden







This is just a view of inside dad's cold frame. We have the most beautiful lettuce. When anyone comes over we send them home with a big bag of lettuce. THese buckets sit beside each tomato plant. When there is a chance of a freeze, I have to go cover them. You can see the sides of the cold frame rolled up a bit. That has to be lowered each evening and raised each morning. The last picture is a tomato blossom.

What a beautiful garden! Are you going to cut back at all this year with Dad's hip situation?

Oh yeah! We have given away dozens of tomato plant, plus broccil, cabbage, etc. We'll still have a good sized garden but not to sell.

What is your favorite lettuce? I think I like beet leaves.

We really like the Tangy Mesclun mix!
