Our brown thumbs just might be turning green....maybe! Or, we just got lucky! We have somehow managed to grow lettuce! We're not the best at gardening and we've never had any luck with lettuce...until now! Every time we planted lettuce in the past, nothing came up. This time, it's not only coming up, it seems to be thriving! We had a salad for dinner from OUR garden!
Here's our harvest for the evening...
We even had some beet greens that we picked and added to it. We were going to try adding some radish greens as I read that they're even more nutritious than the radishes themselves. But, they were spiny and it turns out it's best to use young, non spiny leaves. So, we'll try that another time.
The lettuce is growing so fast that we're going to need to eat a lot of salad in the near future!
For anyone who's following along about my mom...here's the latest...
She passed her driving test. Sigh! But, I've heard it's common for that to happen and that it may not be until a person gets lost, in an accident, or has a scare that they're willing to stop driving. A doctor needs to sign off on it for her to keep her license. She was able to get a doctor to extend it for six weeks but she'll need further evaluation by a gerontology doctor to see if she can keep her license. That appointment is scheduled for mid-March. That's good news because she may willingly go to that doctor appointment now. Before this, we weren't quite sure how we were going to get her there as she has been very adamant about not needing to go. I just hope the doctor sees what we see...that it's not safe for her to drive now.
