Organic Salad

Just wanted to share a photo of our organic salad that we have been enjoying lately. This is just one patch of lettuce (the red one) and Dave picked us a whole bunch for dinner last night.


We only have lettuce and yummy radishes right now but eventually there will be spring onions. celery (first time we've tried growing that), cucumber, courgettes (lovely in a salad), beetroot (again lovely grated raw in a salad), carrots and several different kinds of tomato. Oh and I forgot the rocket, spinach and chard - I like a mixed leaf salad and I much prefer raw baby spinach to cooked.
This was what we took home yesterday. As the season moves on the baskets and containers get bigger and bigger - can't wait.
To finish off the evening yesterday I stewed some rhubarb from the plot and had it with a Cornish cream icecream - YUM - lucky me. There's reward for all the hard labour!

Your garden is beautiful. Looks like you still have your green thumb, Dave. Remember the garden you & Suezie had in our back yard. I'm envious except for the hard work!!! Love, Momn

All looks fab, my brother had an allotment when he was in Walsham - with chickens and I have really missed the boxes of vag and eggs - but he's starting a kithen garden at The Cadogan Arms and has already got the chikens!!
