Early Spring: Enjoying Fresh Romaine and Tomatoes

I’m so happy we’re on the waning side of winter. The sun wakes up a little sooner each day, which allows me to spend time in my garden earlier! Today I brewed a pot of coffee, sat outside for a while and harvested a little from my garden. Not a lot, but something.

  1. About 10 leaves of romaine lettuce
  2. A handful of my little teeny weenie tomatoes!

Not enough to survive on, but definitely a great start to spring!

I’ve never grown romaine lettuce before, and I’m figuring out quickly that I need to harvest it regularly, say every other day. Just the outer leaves of course. I have about ten of these plants and hope they continue to produce, though I have my doubts on their survival when the summer heat kicks in. We shall see!
