“I’m bound and determined to have some kind of lettuce with a little crunch to it, plus nutritious leafy greens, at the same time I have ripe maters.”
Of all the lettuce varieties out there, and they are legion, boring old Romaine has the highest nutritional value. And even then, that’s not much!
Favorite lettuce of starving Supermodels, the world over. ;)
Remember in May I asked about chitting potatoes? Well, I did that and planted some small red potatoes, having no idea if this would work or not. It might not, but when I got back from my week-long family visit today, I did a quick walk through my “garden” (ie, front walkway, mostly herbs), and saw that green sprouts have grown above 3 of the 4 potatoes I planted! Hurray! I still don’t expect much, but now it looks as though there might be something down below growing? Whatever happens, this is a fun learning experience for me.
Side note, nothing to do with gardening: We returned from our trip a day early, because our sweet, feisty cat became ill just before our trip. At the time of our departure, we had no idea he would be terminal just one week later. Thyroid or kidney issues were suspected. Turns out it was an aggressive cancer. Because he’s 14 years old, we decided it was very likely time to let him cross the Rainbow Bridge. So, unless I use FR as a diversion, I won’t be posting tomorrow, as we will be allowing him to cross the bridge. Losing a pet is so hard. We’ve lost 2, and still have 1 more after this fella goes. I don’t know if we will ever adopt another cat or dog after this. Maybe.
We still say, “Who rescued whom?” These pets give unconditional love.
I’ve got greens for nutrition. Tatsoi has more vitamin C than an orange and over 100% DV of vitamin A.
If those supermodels were smart, oh, nevermind.
