Garden - Day Sixteen

Plants continue to grow, they will take as much time as they need. 

paths and rows are getting stronger



Time to test the lettuce

My daughter said that the lettuce is "flavourfull and soft"  She went back to "sneak" more lettuce a little while after this picture was taken.  I asked why she thought she needed to sneak.... she said she didn't know if she was allowed to.  I reminded her that the garden was planted for all of us to enjoy, and reminded her which plant parts were OK to eat now, and which ones we will have to wait for. 

Confirmation that the questionable clumps of plants are indeed tomatoe.  The orange thing at the bottom of the clump is a tomatoe that must have fallen off the plants last year and was worked into the soil.  I would like to keep them but sadly they are too small at this point to produce fruit this year.  They need to be taken out so nourishment can go to the other plants in the garden. 

I walked down a back alley and found some wild horse radish.  I will come back to dig up a root.  I will use the root, and I am contemplating planting a little bit in the side yard of the house.
