The 50 Mile Diet

Me & My Salad

Brenda, over at Donna’s farm said to me the other day, “You’ll be bonding with your lettuce.” She even laughed a bit.

I didn’t laugh. And with these two 90 degree days, I’m still not laughing. And what’s even more brutal on cooler weather crops is the wind advisory blowing this hot air across Minnesota. My poor beloved lettuce.

I am totally bonded with my lettuce growing in my salad table. As a reminder to an earlier post, I am growing the lettuce in a raised table using no real soil. It’s an organic composting material. All those gardeners “in the know” have warned me that it will be too dry, hard to grow, be sure to watch it closely, and good luck.

I am determined to have salad from this table. And yes, I am bonding with my lettuce.
