More garden bounty
The soft light of a fall evening beckoned me outside to harvest some Tom Thumb lettuce heads. These are about 5″ in diameter. I will make a salad with it tomorrow, maybe with a shallot vinaigrette.
I also collected some calendula flowers to make a salve for burns and itchy skin. I am prone to distressed and itchy skin, calendula is good for soothing it.
I’ve been very happy with the stock tank planters. In less than 2 months, we’ve had plenty of Asian veggies like pak choy and yu choy, chives, basil, strawberries and lettuce. This past week, I sowed more lettuce, pak choy, radishes, scallions and mustard. I hope that means we’ll be harvesting more goodies before the first frost.
