Amazing!
It's not much, but considering that this is Trial Year Gardening for me, I'm pretty pleased with myself.
O yea, and I almost broke the new/old truck on Saturday. Loaded 1.5 tons of landscaping rock in a 3/4 ton truck. Whoops. She's doing ok after that harrowing experience. I'm doing ok, too, after being yelled at for a good 20 minutes on basic knowledge of payload capacity.
But let's put that all behind us and get back to the Butter Lettuce.
Don't mind my 15-year-old ghetto salad spinner.
I learned that you can cut-and-come-again (bwahahahaha!) the lettuce, which means you can cut it, and it'll grow back a few more times.

Note to self: don't use the leftover chicken pine bedding to mulch the lettuces as it sticks to the leaves like super glue.

Lovely lettuce! This is Trial Year for us too, and I'm pleased as punch when we eat stuff from the garden. Congrats!
My kind of veggie, cut and get more, yep
Hi there! I see your note about anonymity, but alas my poor bloggy's been out of order for over a year and is unworthy of anyone passing by so I'll introduce myself... I'm Birdie : )
I just stumbled across your most-excellent blog while Googling backyard homesteading! I love your photos, your sense of humor & your honesty. I would totally have overloaded a truck bed with gravel, gotten fussed at, then blogged about it.
Thanks for sharing your new adventures in homesteading. I've just started with a few veggies & 5 chickens which are over-nighting in the bathroom while my brother completes the coop "p-u".
It's kinda nice to find someone else who's blazed a little trail before me and has lived to share. I definitely would've used our pine shavings from the chickens in my garden. What a life saver.
Have a great day!

OK, here's the deal on commenting: I love comments!
But it's more fun for me to know who is posting comments, and then I can leave fun comments on your site, too, whatever that may be.
Isn't that fun?
FUN, I say.
If you want to be all anonymous and elusive like that, I'm alright with that, but really, it's more fun my way.
Anyway, carry on with whatever you were going to say. Don't be shy. I don't bite, and I will love you forever for your comment.
