the last of the lettuce and peas
July 9, 2007

I came home from Red Lodge to find my greens nearly gone. I salvaged a garbage bag full and much of it tastes bitter for sure. I don’t mind the bitterness…..I just add a bit more dressing. Plus it is kind of like a surprise because most isn’t bitter (I tossed the obviously bolted greens on the compost) and then you have a bite that knocks your socks off.

Pay no attention to the weedy background. yikes. Don’t you hate it when people say that? You probably didn’t even notice the weeds until I said not to pay attention to it. Now you are staring at the weeds.

The peas were dry and pathetic. I always have a hard time yanking them out of the ground because they are so cheery.

Next up: basil, beets, tomatoes, summer squash!
