First Lettuce from the Garden
This week we had our first lettuce from out of the garden, and wow can you taste the difference to shop bought ones! I cut out a couple of little gems which went very well in a couple of burgers! The taste is so fresh and crunchy, it reminds me how this is all worth it.
I’ve got another 4 lettuce ready for eating too, so I’m sure we’ll get through those over the next week or two, before they get past their best. I’ve also got about a metre long window box with the next lot of seeds in it, the radish have already popped through. The strawberries are starting to appear on the many plants we have, the chilli plants are growing healthily, and the tomato plants seem pretty happy in their new greenhouse.
All in all, the garden is doing well 
I’ll try and grab some up-to-date photos this week and post them up.

Sarah, it is such a great feeling when you pick the first one. And lettuce is a personal fav of mine!
I had some only 2 days ago when making a Marmite, Cheese and lettuce sarnie. Beautiful!
Look forward to seeing the photos

It’s always great when you get the first of the season. Reminds you how much better it tastes! I’ve got one lettuce left which is ready but the next batch is on the way. More importantly, the strawberries are turning red! They’ll be ready for early next week
I’ll get new photos up soon, just been a bit busy with work.
