The first real harvest from the garden is always so exciting! Everything is growing beautifully in the balcony garden. Last year, I grew wild arugula that was just way too peppery for me, so this year I planted the rocket salad arugula. It still has the great flavor of arugula that I just adore, but with less bite. I prefer to eat it with other salad green.

My container of green and red romaine lettuce and bok choy is also doing well. I harvest a couple of the outer leaves from the romaine lettuce.

I was able to harvest enough greens for two salads - it was delicious. I think this is going to be a good year!

ReplyDeleteThank you Holly!
DeleteBeautiful lettuce. All look so healthy.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYou grow the most gorgeous veggies in containers! I never could get them to grow well, I killed all my container lettuce last year. Wish me luck, because I'm doing peppers, tomatoes, herbs and strawberries this year. If I can keep them alive for a month, I'll consider it a success, LOL!
