OOPS! I accidentally posted this in a community instead of my blog. So I guess this is a cross-post now. Or something like that. My apologies if I have just broken a bunch of Hive rules.
These pictures were taken a week ago, actually. I just didn't get around to posting them. I was so thrilled to finally harvest enough lettuce to make a salad! It was cool and wet most of May and June, so the garden has been growing very slowly.
