My First Harvest
It took roughly 4 weeks to grow.
It was gone in roughly seven minutes.
I feel like I was meant to do this, and I can’t imagine my life without it.
My first harvest from my first garden: lettuce!
I’ve been writing about the development of my first vegetable garden, and I have found it impossible to keep up. Things have been growing back there at an alarming rate, and I feel like I am merely a bystander. I have completely avoided any chemicals, fertilizers, and other nasty things in both the soil and the growing process which I’m very happy about. I feel good that when we harvest, the food we’ll be putting into our bodies isn’t contaminated by anything.
But that brings me to the point of this post…I had my first harvest! It was just lettuce, not terribly exciting in the world of vegetables, but totally exciting in the world of growing my own food. And I decided to make wraps. Again, not terribly exciting in the world of food, but I was hungry and needed to finish off some goat cheese that was in the fridge.
Up next: zucchinis are doubling in size in what seems like a daily basis, carrots are sprouting, and sunflowers have been planted. Considering growing potatoes in a bucket.
