is something we are not gifted with. Steve has planted a couple of beds of different veges, one of which is growing wonderfully, peas and flowers. The other is doing poorly, likely we will rip it up and replant. We did however plant one row that is doing amazingly well - something called "spring mix," a variety of lettuces. Well, the leaves all look odd, not at all like salad greens. The boys tried the leaves last night, one spitting green goo for several spits. We discovered the spring mix to be carrots and radishes. Thank goodness we hadn't yet made a salad.
Correction: they are the newest, trendiest salad greens available, served in the fanciest, trendiest restaurants. They contain mustard, radish, and several other varieties. Hmmm, not seemingly for a whole salad, but for fancy toppings to cracker spreads and additions to salads. Anyone of you super-bougsie types out there....you know who you are....come and get 'em, cuz I ain't eatin' 'em.

spring mix is quite good as a lettuce replacement on sandwiches and the like and is chock of whole food nutrients. don't pass ot up.
typical pricing is $4-7 per organic #. i actually remember when plane loads of mexican ran about the same in sinaloa.
Ahhh, the good old days. I tried them all out after finding out the truth, and they still taste pretty much like acid. No thanks. Maybe I'll just take them to the poncy parties I attend. Or hock them at the local farmer's market.
make sure they are super tiny....I mean absolutely little bitty. They are less bitter when they are babies, and still just good for accenting other foods. When they get old, you might as well wait for the radish and carrots...they'll taste better than the leaves.
Ah, the joys of gardening!
Despite what most people say/think, most of the benefits of the backyard garden arise from the actual doing of the thing by the gardener, not necessarily from eating the result.
