Of all the lettuces, Romaine has the most nutrition. I like the CRUNCH, myself. I make my own ‘salad blends’ at home. Romain is always the base, then I add baby greens, shredded carrots, spinach, sliced radishes, etc.
It takes about 30 minutes of prep work to have a big bag on hand for the week. We have a salad at least once a day. Can’t wait to be growing my own again!
Plant a Garden
~ Edgar Guest
If your purse no longer bulges
and you’ve lost your golden treasure,
If times you think you’re lonely
and have hungry grown for pleasure,
Don’t sit by your hearth and grumble,
don’t let mind and spirit harden.
If it’s thrills of joy you wish for
get to work and plant a garden!
If it’s drama that you sigh for,
plant a garden and you’ll get it
You will know the thrill of battle
fighting foes that will beset it.
If you long for entertainment and
for pageantry most glowing,
Plant a garden and this Summer spend
your time with green things growing.
